Accidents Can Happen--Even to You

accidental injury or death is ever-present.
So he stops trying to pass everyone when
he drives his car. He cautions members of
his family about leaving things on the
stairs for others to stumble over. He makes
sure that the ladder is safe before he tackles
that painting job. He keeps ice from ac-
cumulating on the front steps.
But the rest of us go right alongStaking
chances until we learn the hard way. For
those engaged in farming or r~anching, par
ticularly, an accident is too frequently just
around the corner. Insurance statisticians
tell us that l out of about II farm resi-
dents suffers a disabling injury of some
kind in a year.
Falls cause more injuries than any other
type of accident. Icy roads are a constant
hazard to the motorist. For these and other
reasons the winter season is especially
dangerous.
1t is far better to be safe than sorry
unless you want to become a statistic On
some insurance company's books or the oc-
cupant of a hospital bed.

NHERE will be a substantial increase in
Il production of grass and barley in Mon
tana and Wyoming in 1850 if farmers carry
out their present planting intentions.
Growers who are cooperating with the
acreage-allotment program mention these
two crops more frequently than any
others when asked what they intend to do
with land taken out of wheat.
Those whose farms are adapted to live
stock production are more inclined to an
swer "grass." Others whose farms lack ade-
quate water for stock say BARLEY" Some
plan to divide the surplus acreage between
grass and barley.
Corn is also being considered, particu-
larly in eastern Montana. And flax is men
toned quite frequently in the northern part
of the state. Some farmers are planning to
raise crested w~heatgrass, sweet clover, or
alfalfa for feed or seed.
The limiting factor as far as grass plant

A N INCALCULABLE amount of pain and
"A financial loss are caused each year by
accidents. And most accidents are due to
carelessness. We are all too much inclined
to think of an accidental injury as some
thing that happens to somebody else. We
hear of some neighbor whose arm became
caught in the power-line of a farm machine
and we say, Poor Joe! Guess he just got
careless" And we overlook the fact that we
took the guard off one of our own machines
last summer because it was somewhat in
the way in adjusting and lubricating the
equipment.
Someone has said that the most care
full person in the world is the claim agent
of an insurance company. He sees reports
of all kinds of accidents that happen to
all kinds of people day after day. They
keep coming across his desk. He is con-
stantly reminded of the danger from falls,
from working with machinery, from motor
vehicle accidents, from careless use of tools
and from countless other causes.
He comes to realize that the danger Of

Time for Thoughtful Planning

to lave to really work for a living once
There is no present indication that cru
ely depressing conditions are going to de-
velop. Blu competition is undoubtedly going
to be keener and the spread between prices
of farm products and operating costs is 60
ing to narrow some more.
1t is time to gear our operations to aver
age conditions and to counterfeit lower
prices by taking advantage of every oppor-
tunity to cut production costs.
Winter months can be the most produc-
tive of the year if we utilize this less strenu-
Gus season to plan carefully for the months
and years ahead. The operator who does
an intelligent job of adjusting his program
to the new conditions of this critical post
war period will have little to fear in the
changing SOS.
Now is the time to THINK and PLAN.

TNHE story is often told of the farmer who
Il on being solicited by a salesman to buy
a new encyclopedia of agriculture, replied:
*Son, I Ion need those books. I don't farm
anywhere near as good as I know how,
now"
That is true of most of us. We fall short
of an ideal performance. But in this period
of postwar readjustment it is becoming in
creasingly important that we do a more
careful and efficient job, whether we are
operating a farm or running a business In
town.
The lush period of high prices, abnor-
mally favorable weather conditions, and
easy profits is trending toward more normal
times when things won't be quite so easy.
One rancher expressed it pretty well a few
days ago when he said, with a twinkle in
his eye, I'm just a little bit afraid I'm going

Straws in the Wind
While REA will have CHARGE of tn

While REA will have charge of the rural
telephone loan program recently provided
for by congress, it is not anticipated that
the REA co-operatives will go into the tele-
phone business. REA Administrator Wick
ard has announced that in making loans
preference will be given to regular tele-
phone companies hat are willing to do
everything practicable to furnish s~atisfac-
tory rural service. In the event that exist
ing telephone systems do not take the
initiative in providing adequate service to
the largest number of rural families, the
organization of special co-operatives will be
considered.
Honey production in Montana and Wyo-
ming in 1949 was the smallest in several
years. The long period of cold weather dur
ing the winter of 1948-49 killed many bees
and most stands came through in a weak
ened condition. Drouth and use of weed
chemicals reduced the number of nectar
producing plants in some districts. Alfalfa
and sweet clover weevils also cut down
blossom production.
Production of hybrid chicks will be much
more extensive in 1850 but still far short
of the growing demand. In some tests made
III tIS OiIOS last SedSO1 uyDIIuS pro-
duced about 40 more eggs per hen than
standard flocks.
Of the l.600.0 600 farmers that will get 1850
wheat acreage allotments, about 1,000,0 900
grow 25 acres or less. Because of the small
acreages involved on most farms in the area
east of the Mississippi river comparatively
little compliance is expected in that region.
Market observers are estimating that
wheat produced outside the government
program in 1850 may not bring more than
S1.5O a bushel if the national crop exceeds
a billion bushels. Support price for 1850
will be about $1.90.
Experienced feeders find that it takes
about three weeks to bring cattle up to
full feed. If pushed faster than that the
animals are likely to develop scours and
other digestive troubles resulting in costly
setbacks.
Nine percent of Iowa farms are owned by
business and professional people, according
to a survey conducted by Iowa State college.
The percentage in Montana and Wyoming
would probably be somewhat smaller.
Wheat loans and purchase agreements
on l949 wheat are available until Jan. 81,
1880. This is a month longer than the period
in 1948.

Russians Hiding Behind
The Iron Curtain

For a long time the United States
las been struggling to make the
Marshall Plan WIN. The recent
Municipal election ein the Western
sector of Berlin killed any claim
the Russians have for control Of the
German Capital. Nearly SO per cent
of the 100000 eligible to vote in
the Western sector of the beleagur-
ed city went to the polls and voted
against the Communist syrants. The
Russians ordered all persons en-
pIoyed in the Russian zone to work
on Sunday But the labor unions
pulled the best strike of the year
and refused 10 obey the Russians.
Practically all the labor union MEM
hers took time off and vent to the
polls to vote.
Russia is a cantankerous beast of
a Nation-and everybody in the Uni
ted States seems to know that that's
what is the trouble with the old
bear. Maybe patience is a virtue
after all, inasmuch as Russia is be-
ing pshed behind the Iron Curtain
which it thought would surround
non-Communists throughout Eur
one.
