On Farm Program

The board of directors OF the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation mas
voted to take the issue of the farm
program back to its $4,000 MEM
berS.
Ohio farmers will be asked:
What kind of a farm program
should we have which will keep
farm prices and farm income IN
balance with non-farm prices and
incomes"
Everett +. Rittenour, Piketon,
president of the Farm Bureau,
said that this action is being taken
ito clarity the misunderstanding
that has arisen in the minds of
many people regarding form pro
/ grams"
Zone conclusion reached in the
study was that no plan could
/ get high prices for farmers, cheap
food for consumers, and still have
few controls with low cost to
government" Rittenour asserted.
! There was agreement among
the board members that the heart
of the farm problem lies with
! what to do with actual and poten-
/ tial surplus farm production. A
study of both the price support
method now in use, and the pro-
duction payment plan now adVoc-
ated by some, brought forth the
conclusion that I'VE must have
combination of price supports
and production payments for any
farm program to work efficiently
and economically
Rittenour added, "Any plan
which follows farm products to
clear the market at the free mar
, ket price must restrict production
in order to hold down the cost
to the taxpayer. Consumers cam
not expect to get cheap food under
a program of production payments
because the plan would make
necessary stiff marketing quotas.
One of the most important is
sues which Ohio Farm Bureau
members will discuss in the next
! few months is the level at which
! farm products should be support
ed by government. On this point,
the Farm Bureau board said,
! I'VE believe that farm income
should be 100 per cent of parity.
Farmers should strive to attain
this objective through individual
and cooperative efforts. When
necessary, the government should
! assist TO the extent consistent
with the general welfare. Any
long-range farm program must
at least prevent national farm in
come from reaching depression
F.. levels"
Rittenour re-emphasized the
! position of the board that farmers
/ should do everything within their
own power before asking gov
ernment for any help.

Milk Marketing
Changes In Ohio

A change is taking place in the
intermarket movement of milk
among Ohio cities, states c. G.
Mcbride, of the Department of
Agricultural Economics and Rural
Sociology of the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station.
In some markets in 1913 and
1914, and practically all of 1915,
shortages developed in the fall
months, and milk distributors
We're compelled to obtain emer-
sency supplies. Under these con
ditions which continued in 1913,
markets welcomed producers
coming from adjoining city milk
sheds.
In most Ohio markets, receipts
from producers in 1919 increased
by a greater amount over 1913
than did the sales of fresh milk
and cream, continues the econont-
ist The result has been that the
need for adding more producers
has declined or disappeared.
The larger Ohio city markets
operate on what is known as the
use classification or pool basis
Mcbride points out. Milk going in
to use as fresh milk and cream
receives the highest classification
and commands a higher price
than that which is used for man
ufacture. The result is a higher
average pirce for farmers selling
into city markets than for thest
selling to manufacturing plant:

 A king was tagged in the Cross Bay area May 26 by Robert R. Parker, Alaska Deparament of Fisheries biologist, after being caught on trolling gear.
 With the red. and white tag fixed directly below its dorsal fin, it was put back into the water.
 The same king was caught by a troller June 27 off Moves Island, west of Prince of Wales Island. It had travelled 175 miles in B days before taking a troller's lure for the second time.
 Although its being sucker for bait" was unusual, the distance it swam was not, according to the department of fisheries. Of the six salmon from which tags have been recovered since the troll salmon research pre- gram began this spring, three have travelled at least 175 miles before being taken, C. L. Ander- son, director of the fisheries de- partment said.
 One king-tagged by Parker in the Cross Sound area-swam 400 miles in 27 days to a river near Prince Rupert, B.C., before being caught in gillnet.
 More than 800 king salmon have been tagged since the re- search program was inaugurated.

Despite decline for the second consecutive year gold continued to rank first among mineral com modities in value, according to the Juneau office of the bureau of mines, United States department of the Interior. Notwithstanding this decline the total value of min eral output in the Territory rose to $15,299,0O in 1949 compared with $13,O26,OOO in 1948. Coal ranged second to gold in value of output, and platinum mining con- tinued to be an important factor lin the mineral industry with pro- duction of crude platinum-group metals exceeding that of the pre- vious year. The output of lead was only one-sixth of the 1948 production, and silver, copper and zinc-each a byproduct from an operation conducted primarily for another metal l-WaS one-half, one-fourth and one-tenth, respec- lively, of the 1948 production.
