sentatives of Montana and Wyoming
sugar beet growers asked a labor
rate cut of $1.50 an acre a season
at sessions of the department of
agriculture wage-price hearings at
Billings. w. J. Gorst, Worland,
Wyo., representing the Montana
Wyoming Beet Growers Assn, said
the reduction was justified in view
of the reduced cost of living and
general reduction in the growers
income.

ficult for humans and they probably drift
ed eastward. Then came an era
ing about 1900 A. D. When rainfall was more
favorable and the woodland hunters again
migrated westward. They brought with
them several domesticated varieties of food
plants. They settled in communities on trib-
utary streams and farmed the flood plains
in a limited way. This was the early begin
ming of agriculture in the Great Plains.
Excavations in localities throughout the
Missouri basin as we'll as tree ring records
reveal evidences of prehistoric periods of
drouth like that which occurred in the 1930s,
of wet cycles and floods, of sitting and soil
erosion, and climatic change. When the
studies now being made by the psychologists
are complete we will know pretty well how
the humans of those prehistoric times adj
justed themselves to these changing condi-
tons.
In the meantime, the scientific gentlemen
remind us that the real Montana and Wy
oming pioneers were not the folks who came
out here in the 1905 and COS but the darker
skinned humans who wandered this way

Straws in the Wind

Wheat export buying is being increased
by USDA now that then new crop is starting
to move The government is holding the
sack on large quantities of carryover wheat
and would lose heavily if prices dropped
too much. Market observers predict that
prices will dip below support levels at least
for a while when the big movement of new
wheat gets under way. The Commodity
Credit Corp. will nave a virtual corner on
wheat by the end of the season so should
be in a position to see that prices do not
remain too much below support levels very
long if most of the new wheat comes under
government loan.
Approximately 100000 more acres of
Montana grass land will be broken this year
and seeded to grain, says R. J. McKenna,
chairman of the Montana PIMA committee.
Much of this land undoubtedly rates as
marginal and unsuited for cropping under
average conditions.
Better start figuring what you are going
to do with surplus wheat acres. The present
outlook is for application of an acreage allot-
ment plan that will apply to wheat acreage
planted for 1850 harvest.
Senate approval of the world wheat
agreement now seems likely. Opposition
has not attacked the plan as theoretically
as expected and some Influential senators
nave recently come to its support.

Free Hog Market Would Depress Beef

and the support level in the form of COM
pensatory payment checks.
There would be some merit to the pro-
posal that the Brannan plan be applied to
hogs during the coming marketing season
in order that producers, consumers and
congress might have an opportunity to see
how the general principle of compensatory
payments would work out in actual prac-
tice, were it not for the unfavorable effect
such an experiment would nave on price
levels of other kinds of livestock.
If pork prices were permitted to seek
their own level under the pressure of a
billion pound increase in production they
would fall considerably below the 80 per-
cent of parity mark. And falling pork prices
would almost certainly lave a depressing
effect on the prices of beef and other meat
products.
Unless the markets for other livestock
products were protected in some adequate
way from the depressing effects of a freely
falling hog market the proposed experiment
would prove a costly one for those other
producers.

jewellers in the Great Plains. Other and
greater finds will undoubtedly be made DUR
ing the next few years.
Many of the earlier American archeol-
ogists were of the opinion that human life
in this region was comparatively recent and
that little of scientific interest would be
found here. More recent discoveries nave
proved otherwise and it is now known that
man existed on the Great Plains as early
10000 to 20, 900 B: C.
These early humans wandered here from
Asia during the late ice age when a land
or ice bridge, or perhaps both, connected
the two continents. AS these nomads came
across the bridge some of them followed
the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains
between the foothills and the great glaciers.
Here in Montana and other parts of the
Great Plains they hunted food animals of
types that have long since become extinct.
In those ages the region was no doubt char
acterized by a cooler, moister climate than
now.
But as a changing climate made food less
abundant, life in the area became more diff

DEPORTS from Washington indicate the
~ possibility that the Brannan compen-
satory payment plan may be given a trial
run with hogs this year.
A huge price support problem is build
ing up in the case of this particular perish
able commodity. 1t is estimated that fully
a billion pounds more pork will go to market
between October, 1949, and March, 1850,
than during the same period a year ago.
In order to maintain hog prices at the an
nounced $3.50 support level it would be
necessary for the government to purchase
and dispose of about half of the billion
pound surplus.
The question congress must decide this
summer is whether to support the market
under the provisions of the present law or to
apply the Brannan plan to hogs. Either pro-
cedure will be costly. Under the present
program prices would be supported at the
80 percent of parity level through govern
ment purchase. Under the Brannan pro-
posal prices would be permitted to seek
their own level and producers would be
paid the difference between market prices

age consumers from eating eggs. The gov
eminent support program has tended to
encourage the inefficient producers of low
quality eggs and to discourage the producer
of the quality graded product. There has
not been sufficient price premium for the
top grade product.
For breakfast-tab1e purposes there is no
such thing as a fairly good egg. A fresh,
high quality egg is a delight that encourages
a consumer to eat eggs regularly. A slightly
stale, o~ff-taste egg, makes Mr.. Consumer
say to Mrs. Consumer, Lets not nave any

It's as simple as that.

Getting Consumers to Eat More Eggs

THERE was an egg surplus of $4,000, 900
4 dozen which the government had to buy
in carrying out its 1913 price support pro-
gram. This sounds like a lot of eggs but an
increase of only seven eggs per person in
annual consumption would nave wiped it
out entirely. And, according to the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, consumers
would have purchased more than that num-
Der if they had been available on the mark

This farm organization reminds us that
there never has been a surplus of high quail
ity, graded eggs. Too many eggs that are
available are of such quality as to discour-

MARKET REVIEW

In spite of liberal supplies.
livestock values at the start
OF the week followed a rather
even course at South Saint
Paul'S public livestock mart.
Native cattle continue TO
make up the bulk of the cattle
receipts, but this week brought
an increased showing of cattle
from the DakotaS and Montana.
Granted steers and heifers
drew fully steady money as
the weeks trade opened, and
there we're instances where va
lues gained 25 cents. However.
palmer quality steers and heif-
ers off grass, moved in a slow
Trade at barely steady prices.
Stockers and feeders also
followed a steady course, with
Salable supplies on the in
crease. Montana steers averag-
ing 800 pounds of mostly good
quality went into feeder chan
nels at % cents. The trade
saw $50 pound medium to
good yearlings at 81 cents on
the steers, with the heifer end
trading at 10 cents even. Corn
belt feeders are showing an
improved interest in replace
ment kinds.
Cows are maintaining an Is

bulls selling up to 81 cents.
Beef bulls had a 20 cent top.

kinds, and 26 cents from all
interests on selected lots.
Most hog arrivals at the
start of the week at South
Saint Paul drew steady money,
with all interests paying $21.50
top. The exception came on
heavyweight SoWS, which Suf-
fered a rs cent setback. SoWs
still fill more than half of the
receipts in the porker division,
with kinds under 400 pounds
rating upwards to $16.75.
Although supplies are still
skinny in the sheep and lamb
division, the trade followed a
steady course as the week
started. Native spring lambs
rate up to $26.50 with ewes
holding a 8 cent top.

LOS ANGELES - (ANP) - At
torneys in the Los Angeles Senti-

Washington last month filed a
charge that Bell is attempting to
defraud when he claims that he

Recent developments in the case
include the filing of an affidavit
from Loren Millner, local attorney,
supporting the publishers claim that
Bells only connection with him is
that of creditor. Millner is said to be
Washington's cousin.
Attorneys for Bell filed an affida-
Wit from an alleged witness to the

ed was an affidavit from a hand
writing expert declaring the sigma
ture on the paper mentioned as a

Racial Bias Prevents
Good Leadership

NEW YORK - CAMP - Racial
discrimination in the U. S. helps
cause distrust of American leader
ship among foreign people This
view was reported to the board of
directors of the American Civil Lib
critics union last week by Alfred A.
Albert, White, a Boston lawyer.
AS representative of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties union, Mr.. AL
bert recently returned from the
world tour of Americas Town Meet
ing of the Air.
Mr.. Albert gave three major rea-
sons why he felt that people abroad
were not convinced that America is
really a democratic nation. These
were: d" racism and discrimina-
ton here at home, our undemocratic
procedures to suppress communism.
and the support of imperialist Euro
pean countries by the u. S." He
said that every undemocratic act
that occurs here is widely publicized
in Gommunistic journals and in
newspapers all over the world.
