RET COMMENT.

(Fron, Mrs. d. H. E., Churchton.)
Many children will be given
pets fer Christmas, and there
aren't many other gifts which
could mean more to child.
However, If at all possible, by
all means introduce the animal to
your family a few days before
Christmas so that it will feel at
home and no longer timid by the
time the big day arrives with all
its excitement, noise and con-
fusion. 1t would be more enjoyed
by the children, too, when they
haven't so many other distrac-
tions. If you can't get the pet

evergreens should be smooth and
perfect, and your fruit and cones
should be arranged like sculp-
tured groups with colors and tex
lures properly matched. The ad-
dition Of a few unshellacked pine
cones will achieve a wonderful
contrast of mat and glossy sur
faces.
II you have lockwood or other
broadleafed evergreens. such as
laurel. ligustrum or euanymus
these are best cut slantwise and
the pointed cuttings are inserted
at an angle into the moistened
frame. Ivy, however. should be
fastened in small punches on
florists picks. or the leaves when
applied fat to the frame may be
fastened by large staples.
When you select fruit, watch
that you get varied colors. shapes
and sizes, none too big or your
decoration may be out Of propor-
ton. Wire the fruit deftly with
22-gauge wire, dip it into clear
shellac and hang to dry.

When planning for your mantle,
it is best to remove the every day
ornaments. Pay attention to such
fixtures as mirrors, lamps or
paintings. You will discover that
an old fashioned mirror will need
different treatment than one Of
modern make and design. The
atmosphere Of your room as well
as its color scheme will also need
your attention.
You may wish to place ever
green's on the mantle in a mass
and use pine cones, large and
small. grouped in the center area.
Use various types of evergreens for
texture contrast and add a dash
Of gay ribbon to offset the dull
brown Of the cones.
A small strip of chicken wire
mesh. twisted into a screwlike
shape and fastened to the mantle
by tape or tacks is a convenient
mechanical aid. This wire holds
the evergreens safely in place and
prevents a mantle decoration from
looking fiat.
Here is suggestion for a
mantle arrangement that is a
modern and "jiffy' affair. CThis
is not pictured) Take an ina"-
esting bare branch of ounce vul-
garis and dab it with white cas- n
paint and push it into a quite long
white block of styrofoam. Grc@p
silver balls of various sizes aror d
the snowy branch. and add hoe ID
shapes of milkweed pods to =
mind guests of Santa's gnona S.
Some tree fungi can be added, tco.
A little to one side, also on the
block of styrofoam. add a round.
squat. beeswax candle and. war.l-
ing himself beside it, little win-
ter bird.
Here is another attractive v'ay
to use white ounce branches. 7 lis
time, take a white bowl of Tne
china, and arrange toge..,e
whitened ounce branches, eight
red roses, and q touch Of ju1ianna
barberry.
Remember, too. that fresh
flowers also have a distinguis ed
place in your home during the
Yule season. suggesting the prom
ise of new life and the confident
hope of Christmas.

Christmas is a time of family

decorations for the holiday stay
close to each family's preferences.
The entire atmosphere Of a

the oysters are. beautifully moist

duce enough food for far greater popula-
ton than now inhabits the world"
And Bernal, the British scientist, in his
treatise, "The Social Function of Science"
writes eff the available good agricultural
land of the world were worked by the best
modern methods it would provide a food
supply between and 20 times the amount
required for the optinal standard. Ulti-
mately all of our food is contained in the
materials of the air, water and rocks, and
if we used our reserves of coal, or even
limestone, as basic food materials, we
should have enough for population thou
sands or millions of times that which exists
at present on our globe"
If his latter picture of the situation is
anywhere close to the truth it is apparent
that the problem of standing room on this
whirling sphere would become acute long
before there were any food shortage.
Assuming that the fact about the food
producing capacity of the world lies about
midway between the dismal predictions of
the pessimistic scientists and the highly OPP
timistic forecasts of the learned gentlemen
at the other extreme, it appears reasonable
to conclude that distribution rather than
production will remain the more pressing
problem for at least few more generations.

Editorials
Attacking Farm Price Supports

YVHERE appears to be a concerted cam
H. paign under way in certain national
magazines and eastern metropolitan news
papers to discredit the farm price support
program. Some of the articles that have
been published picture farmers as selfish
group determined to maintain prices of
their products at outrageously high levels.
One such recent editorial TRADE, for in
stance was headed, ''The Farmers vs. the
People"
Articles in some of the other publica-
lions that are joining in the attack give an
inaccurate picture of the support program
leading readers to believe that farmers are
growing excessively wealthy at the expense
of the consumer They magnify a few I'M
favorable instances of extravagant support
operations and overlook the constructive ac-
complishments of the farm program in
maintaining fair prices for producers.
They rarely refer at all to the important
influence of stabilized farm prices as a
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-06-15

strong supporting factor in the whole ma
tional economy. They carefully avoid any
reminder to readers that the depressions
following World war l resulted primarily
from a destructive deflation of agricultural
prices and incomes.
This widespread attack that is being
made upon farm price support should awak-
en- farmers to the need for eternal vigilance
in defending the sound elements in the pres
ent farm programs. At the same time farm
ers and farm organizations should work for
Improvements and changes in support pro-
cedures where such are indicated by past
experience.
Producers will be in the strongest posi-
ton if they, and their organizations, stoutly
defend their just rights for parity incomes
but avoid making unreasonable demands.
In the long run, no program will survive
that is not in line with the broad national
interest or that results in an exorbitant cost
to the government or the consumer.

Is 1t to Be Feast or Famine?

MYTH so many conflicting statements by
w supposed authorities on the subject
of the food requirements of present and fu-
ture generations of human beings and the
productive capacity available for the pro-
duction of that food, it is hard to know just
what to believe.
In their book, ''The Worlds Hunger for
instance, Pearson and Harper estimate that
there are only $500, 100000 acres of land
adapted to food production, or only one acre
for each person now living. William Vogt
in his popular "Road to Survival" concludes
that decreasing standard of living for the
people of the world is inevitable.
But in his book, Limits of Land Settle
ment," Carl Alsborg says that about 6,40O,-
100000 acres are available for food produc-
ton. And USDA's o. E. Baker declared not
long ago that 4, 400, 600, 900 acres are suitable
for the production of grain and cereals. Ais
borg's figure is about 21s times that of the
Pearson and Harper estimate.
Other authorities, including Kellogg of
the USDA soil survey, believe that the ex-
pansion in world food production could be
tremendous if present knowledge and
equipment were fully applied to all produc-
tive land on the globe. Says Kellogg: "Soil
resources and technical knowledge exist,
according to reasonable estimates, to pro-
