ment is bad evil"
If such program could be administered
in a satisfactory way it would be particu-
larly well adapted to areas and regions
where there are wide swings in production.
The SURPRISES of the good years could be
held over for marketing in the leaner sea-
sons, as our correspondent suggests.
There might be some serious admins
trative headaches, however. Cornbelt farm
ers might object to such national program
for wheat because of the danger that sur
plus grain would be fed and thus compete
directly or indirectly with corn. Some econ
omists who have studied the straight mar
keting quota idea, without acreage control
are afraid there would eventually be such
pileup Of wheat in farm storage that boot
Logging operations might become wide
spread. Others doubt whether the govern
ment could maintain prices anywhere near
parity if tremendous surplus were piled
up in the country.

in protecting the health of the people. One
serious outbreak of some communicable

human health as well as to the livestock

Some of the market operators have found
it difficult to acquire desirable property
or to purchase existing facilities so substan-
tial improvements of this character would
be feasible.
But the health of human beings and the
safeguarding of the livestock industry from
the possibility of disease outbreaks are the
all important considerations. Compliance
with reasonable sanitary provisions must
be insisted upon in the public interest.
Most of Montanas auction market oper-
ators have complied with the regulations
of the board. Some have gone further than
the minimum requirements.

Keeping Stockyards Sanitary

GONE operators of livestock auction
~ markets are running into trouble in
connection with the enforcement of state
regulations regarding livestock sanitation.
Two markets have had their licenses
revoked for failure to comply fully with
requirements that yards be kept in clean
and sanitary manner, that they be adequate
ly drained, and that concrete or gravel sur
facing be maintained where necessary to
prevent mudholes. All alleys as well as
loading and unloading pens must be con-
crete surfaced.
The rule requiring the concrete alleys
was established on October 1, 1947, with
the provision that one-third of the total
area to be covered must be completed prior
to May 1, 1913, and that one-half of the
remaining area be completed each year
thereafter until yards were completely
surfaced.
In setting up these sanitary requirements

YNHERE is growing sentiment among Mon
IL tana wheat growers favoring program
of marketing quotas rather than acreage
allotments in controlling the wheat surplus
Most farmers would like to make their own
decisions regarding acreage.
If they produced more than their mar
keting quota they could store the surplus
and market it in some future season when
they might experience a short crop due to
drouth, insect infestation, hail or some other
cause. Such program would be helpful in
stabilizing income from year to year.
The viewpoint of those who favor the
marketing quota system is well expressed
in the following letter received from a read
er of Montana Farmer-Stockman a few
days ago:
Il have not yet heard one farmer that
would not rather have bushel allotment
than an acreage allotment. My acreage allot-
ment is 265 acres as compared with my re-
cent wheat acreage of 465. From 265 acres
might raise 1000 bushels. Some years even
the seed is lost.
II would much rather have 5000 bushels
allotted to me to sell at parity price with no

CtTOCKGROWERS of Montana and north

ence that it is sound practice to balance
stock numbers with available feed supplies
before winter sets in. With few exceptions
they followed that program last fall They
sized up their hay stacks, figured how much
stock they could carry through until spring
even if the winter proved to be a severe
one, and marketed accordingly.
Open weather prevailed through Novem-
Der and until the middle of December per-
hitting extensive use of the range and en-
abling growers to conserve hay and concen-
trate supplies during that period. Since
then the range has been covered in most

~As long as farmers help pay the bin,
and as long as workers who can receive the
benefits of Social Security in other occupa-
tons avoid working on farms farmers are

Most market observers are guessing that
wheat carryover July 1, 1850 will be around
3O0OOO,OO0 bushels, about the same as last
year. Crop prospects aren't quite as rosy
as they were few weeks ago. And if there
IS anything at all in the weather cycle
theory something less than bumper u. S.
wheat crop is due in 1850.
Up and down swings in the cattle mar
ket are not likely to be as marked in 1850
as In the past two years. The high to low
movements will be more moderate. Con-
sumner demand will continue relatively
strong but producer profit margins will be
somewhat narrower.
AS better soil and water conservation,
practices are followed on the farms less
soil and water will be lost to run into the
streams. Water held back by proper tillage
practices, as well as water stored in farm
and ranch reservoirs, will never contribute
to flood damage in the lower river areas.
About 40 percent of the nations milk
production is utilized as market milk and
cream, u percent as butter, 10 percent as

Don't take the price support program
lightly Without it the farm outlook for
1850 and succeeding years would look much
less favorable. Remember what happened

sion it was investigating him and

loyalty.
"The reason for the Senator's
concern is now apparent" it
added. He had no facts to support
his Wild baseless charges, and lived

The majority said it recognized
that the campaign of villiflca-

to believe there must be something
to the charges of disloyalty in
the State Department. One rea-
son for this, it added, is that
many people believe a United

such charges unless there is a
basis for them.
The majority. and Senator
Lodge as well, recommend that
the President appoint a special
loyalty commission but for diff

strict District milk to farms In the
Washington milkshed inspected
by the Health Department, asked:
Under this bill, you would
transfer to some other jurisdic-
ton the power to determine the
quality of the milk used here?"
Mr.. Fuchs said he interpreted
the bill to mean that the District
Health Department has the final
determination of what milk would
be used in Washington.
Mr.. Smith then asked If it was
not true that the Public Health
Service milk code was minimum
set Of standards and that, without
exception, States using it added to
the requirements. Mr.. Fuchs said
that many States did increase the
requirements Of the code.
Low Ratings Are Cited.

British Stop Sending
|0iI 10 Chinese Reds;
Services Take Il Over
By the Associated Press

LONDON, July ia Foreign
ONCE spokesman announced today
that Britain has stopped all oil
shipments to Red China.
British services operating in the
Far East decided to take over all
stocks Of oil there for their own
uses. Their. needs have increased
because of operations undertaken
in carrying out the United Ma
tions Security Council resolution
for bringing back peace to Korea.
the spokesman said.
Britain earlier this month turned
down an American suggestion that
oil shipments to Red China be
limited. The Foreign ONCE spokes-
man at that time said only oil for
civilian consumption was going to
Red China.
The spokesman said only one
British company -Shell-has been
selling Oil to the Chinese Com
munists. In the first six months
Of this year, he said, total supplies
amounted to $4,000 tons-less
than a tenth of China's civilian
requirements.
The spokesman added:
'The question of the future sup
ply of oil products to China has
however, became academic, since
the British service departments
(army. navy, air force, acting in
terms Of the United Nations Sc
Icurity Council resolution on Korea,
have decided to take over all
stocks Of oil held by the Shell
company in the theater."
The fuel in stock in the Far
East will be used by the, British

The FBI announcement said the
American-born Rosenberg's part
in the ring was the recruiting OF
Greenglass-then stationed at the

Alamos, N. Mex.-to work with
Gold.
Like a character in a fictional
spy drama, Rosenberg gave Green
glass an oddly cut top from q
jello box to be matched with the
other half as a recognition signal
with Gold, the FBI said.
AS a result, Greenglass turned
over bomb data to both Gold and
Rosenberg in 1945. the agency
said.
Paid $500, Hoover Says.
Rosenberg gave Greenglass
specific instructions as to the type
of information Russia desired, ,

At their first meeting in June
1945, Mr.. Hoover said, "Greenglas.
was paid $500 by Gold, who OBJ.
tanned it from his Soviet superior

consul in New York City"
Mr.. Hoover added that after
Gold was arrested last May. Ro-
senberg warned Greenglass to flee
the country and gave him Sub

Rosenberg told Greenglass to get
q passport for Mexico, travel to
Switzerland, and then to report to
the Soviet Embassy in Czecho-
slovakia. MIR. Hoover said.
Mr.. Hoover said Rosenberg's Of
fense was accentuated because he
"aggressively sought ways and
means to conspire with the Soviet
government to the edtriment OF
his own country
He also said Rosenberg made
himself available to Soviet agents
to "do something to directly helr
