YOU CAN'T SHRUG OFF the size and impor-
lance of these foreign ore fields. Yet Minnesota
CAN compete in iron ore with Venezuela - and
Canada and Labrador. All we must do Is USE
WHAT WE HAVE. What do we have? -
is estimated we have nearly 900 million tons of
iron of the types now being produced. Much
of 1t lies buried deep below the surface and Is
therefore much more expensive to mine.
We have additional billions Of tons of taconie ores
"a supply for the indefinite future. Taconite Is
tough to process 1t must be extensively treated
really manu- actured-before shipping,
Why not get going, then? The answer is simple
its all problem of COST. Our remaining ores
- high-grade, lOw-grade, tacOnite win ALL be
more costly to produce than the ores we've
been using.
And still, somehow, these expensive have
got to be produced cheGply enough to sell against the
high-grade foreign ores
What's the solution then?
FIRST, Minnesotas ore producers must keep seek
ing the best and cheapest ways to existing
They investing millions Of dollars In costly equip
ment and research.
SECOND, Minnesota should lend hand by treating
the iron industry fairly 1t treats any other
state industry Minnesota people should recognize that
their ore industry cannot shoulder tax burden at
rates two three times greater than other industries
and, at the time put hundreds of millions Of
dollars into new plants and payrolls.
Why we publish these facts
We of the iron industry want to stay in Mime
sota-permanently.
We want to insure the future Of Minnesota's iron
wealth by investing the millions Of dollars needed
to hasten development Of and taconite ores
We want to help make 1t possible for the people Of
Minnesota to enjoy greater benefits from this
expanded industry.-both In dollars and jobs-for
many generations to come.
We publish these facts so that matter who you
are, where you live, or what you do Tor living,
you may rest assured that

Cool Summer III WEnts~

JUNE, JULY AND August of this
year were unusually cool. Their
average was not the lowest on
record (actually the temperatures
for the three months have averaged
a little lower in seven other years.,
but it was cool this summer. We
also had cold, late spring to say
nothing of last winter which was the
coolest on record.
It's only natural that we begin to
wonder how long it's going to stay
"cooler than usual" Here's winter
coming up again. What about it?
Free TO Hope
Well, at least we are at perfect
liberty to hope it will be more
temperate than last. On the basis of
the record there's nothing about a
cool summer that commits us to a
cold winter. The table on this page
shows the average temperatures of
the 10 coolest June-Ju1y and August
periods on record with the average
temperature of the December-Janu
airy and February period that fol-
lowed each.
The figures were prepared by r.
A. Dightman, section director, u. S.
weather bureau office, Helena. OF

the figures Mr.. Dightman says:
s'There you have it. If anyone can
make anything out of the fact that
of the 10 coolest summers, four were
followed by nearly normal winters
average temperature and three
were followed by cold and three by
warm winters, I would certainly like
to hear about it.
No Relationship
about the only conclusion I can
draw is that it appears that vari-
ations from the normal of summer
temperatures in Montana has had no
relationship to conditions during the
following winter and I know of no
reason why we should expect such
a relationship to appear this season.
Maybe our winters have no relatives
in other seasons"
So there we do have it. The figures
are interesting to look at but they
don't mean thing as far as pre-
dieting what next winter will be
like. Still, if we want to do some
wishful thinking, why not take COM
fort from the fact that the coolest
summer on record, 1907, was fol-
lowed by a warm" winter. Could
be.

'samortized" type with loan term
of 20 years or longer. Even more
significant is the fact that most of
this debt is now on sound operating
units. Figure for yourself the re-
duced annual cost of debt service
and consider particularly its signifi-
canoe in a year of low farm income.
Greater Stability Through Irrigation
According to the census, As per-
cent of Montana farms now have
some irrigated land. Over period
of years, about one-fourth our har-
vested areas are irrigated and they
produce approximately one-third of
all our crops. The stabilizing effect
of this irrigated land becomes more
clear in drouth year like 1886 when
80 percent of the harvested acres
were irrigated land and they ac-
counted for So percent of the crops
produced.
Each year additional acres are be-
ing put under irrigation in Mon
tana. Also, each year more of our
irrigated land is being leveled and
more scientifically irrigated. A great
many farmers own both irrigated
and non-irrigated land, which sta
bilizes the total operation and makes
for a desirable type of resource
utilization.
INFLAMMATION and Identification
Montana farmers and ranchers are
well abreast of the mechanical age.
A high proportion own modern
equipment that makes for efficient,
low-cost operation. 1t also makes
possible "timeliness" in operations,
an important factor in increasing
yields and improving the quality of
hay and grain crops.
As recently as 1880, fewer than 5
percent of Montana farms had CEN
trail power plant electricity, while
now approximately 20 percent have
it. This is most significant factor
in farm mechanization and in i'm
proving the quality of living in rural
homes.
AGRICULTURAL Science
A high proportion of Montana
farmers and ranchers are employing
and profiting by the many new de-
velopments of agricultural science.
Soils are being more scientifically
managed to give not only greater
yields now, but to conserve their
productivity for the future. There
has been great progress in the adop-
ton of improved tillage and other
practices.
adapted to Montana conditions have
been developed by the plant scien-
lists and are in general use on the
majority of farms. Diseases and pests
affecting both crops and livestock
are each year becoming better un-
derstood and more successfully con-
trolled. Quality of Montana live
stock is good. Each year it is i'm
proving through the cooperative eff.
forts of producers and the anima
scientists.
In conclusion, Montana agriculture
during much of the past half cen
tury was in the process of discover
ing itself and evolving toward /;
state of maturity. Changes lie aheat
, because this is dynamic world ans
because we live in an area wher,
climatic conditions chance sl1ddanl,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-10-15

This readjustment started in the
EOS, progressed rapidly during the
''great drouth" and the "great de-
preston" of the 30's and continued
to evolve toward. a rather well-de-
fined pattern during the war years
of the 40's.
Though changes have taken place
since World war 2, and will, of
course, continue to take place, the
tempo of change has slackened. This
era, lasting less than a generation,
has witnessed greater and more far
reaching readjustments in Montana
agriculture than most parts of the
world have experienced in several
generations. The readjustment was
terrifically painful for many of those
directly involved The relatively
short time involved was partial
compensation.
So much for background Now
let us proceed to our analysis of
Montana agriculture in the present.
Importance of Agriculture
Most people know that Montana
is essentially producer of raw ma
terials, yet how many realize the
dominant position of its agriculture?
In 1947, for instance, agricultural in
come was $780,, $50, 900, while income
from mining, oil, gas, quarrying and
related fields was $87, 167, 900 and
only $17,204,000 was received from
numbering. For relative income, 1947
was probably a rather typical year.
Yes, normally our agricultural in
come q four or five times our in
come from minerals and more than
20 times our income from forest
products.
Size of Farm Business
Average gross income per farm in
Montana is among the highest in the
nation. In 1948 it exceeded $11, 900,
but dropped to about $4,000 in 1949,
largely because of drouth conditions
in some parts of the state. The fore
cast for 1850 is that it will again
exceed $1,000.
decreased from about 57,70O in 1920
to $4,000 or less in 1850. Acreage of
land in farms increased nearly 70
percent during this period, while
average size of farm increased from
approximately 600 to 1000 acres.
This evidences recognition of the
necessity for consolidation of home
steads into relatively economic units
Land Tenure
Improvement in land tenure is one
of the great changes of recent years
Fewer than II percent of our farm
ers and ranchers are tenants, while
less than l percent of our farms are
operated by hired managers Mos
farmers own a high proportion o.
the land they operate. Free land anc
uncontrolled use of the public do
main is a thing of the past. Use o.
public land is regulated, with stock
men ordinarily having permits for /;
term of years. This control of thei
range resource has encouraged
ranchers to become more interested
in sound range management and il
developing, improving and conserv
ing the range resource.
Farm Mortgage Debt
The peak of farm mortgage deb
in Montana occurred in 1921 when
was reported as $196,O00,000. Pre-
vailing interest rates were 8 percen

Old Papers Are
Needed To Meet
Unusual Demand

A vast campaign for the collec-
tion of waste paper, so vital to
defense is now underway across
the nation, and the Mems Social
Service Center Of The Salvation
Army, at 2181 East 55th st. is
girding to provide 1 100000 pounds
week, or twice it's former pro-
duction. A step-up in facilities and
manpower has been put into effect
at the local institution.
Householders are being urged to
realize the Importance of one of
the nations most critically scarce
materials plain waste paper.
One national agency alone has con-
tributed $250,000 to remind the
people that saving this material is
a practical act of patriotism.
Tons of packaging paper are
used daily for wrapping tools,
guns, instruments, ammunition
ETC., for shipment within the coun-
try and overseas. Food and cloth
ing for our troops also must be
carefully apped to insure
against damage in transport. 1t is
being pointed out that the defense
requirements for paper added to
the usual domestic needs has
caused a serious shortage in the
paper manufacturing industry.
"Householders can aid immeas-
ureably by being a bit more care
full of how they use waste paper"
declared Major ]. Holman, Man
ager of The Mems Social Service
Center of the Salvation Army.
newspapers and magazines are
particularly valuable because these
can be worked into first grade
packaging paper" he continued.
A vast fleet of especially con-
structed trucks has been put into
the campaign by the Center and

been assigned to the task.
"Tell the people to call Ut.
1926. Our switchboard is ready.
We are ready to handle 100000
pounds of waste each week. We
will pick up any amount from any,
where in the peoples homes. If
they are civic minded and patriotic
enough to save it and call US we
stand prepared to do all we can
to collect it," the Major concluded.
The Center is continuing its re-
habilitation program as it has for
fifty-two years in this city. The
waste material collected by this
organization also provides homes
for many homeless men, most Of
whom are local men and otherwise
would cost the city many thous-
ands of dollars in additional taxes.
Over one hundred of these men
were at one time seriously afflicted
with alcoholism, but are now re-
stored to usefulness in this time of
manpower shortage.
