1t conceives of a If a r parity
price" as a goal and a guide, not
as a rigid index for subsidy. And
it would introduce into the adj
ministration of the plan an adj
visory b oard representing all
regions, b 0 h political parties,
and consumers and professors as
we'll as farmers.
Secretary Brannan himself, in
a commercially open-minded ar
ticle, said a few months ago:
If there is a method other than
production payments (the basis
of his plan) which is sensible,
efficient, and consistent with the
interests of the public, we should
examine it and compare it. But
by all means. let's get off dead
center. ..
This plan of the National
Grange may not be the final an
swer. But we would proffer it to
the administration and Congress
at least as a starting point. -

is politically impossible and eco
nomically hazardous. We have
always held that the flexible sup
port principle of the 1913 Aiken
bill, which " a s never given a
chance, has considerable merit.
Coupled with marketing agree
ments and quotas instead of
acreage allotments (which have
since proved futile). it h o | d S
promise of working far better
than anything tried so far.
And there is the new plan of
the National Grange, briefed in
a neighboring column by Albert
S. Goss, head of that great farm
organization.
We cannot accept, as yet at
least, the Grange program as the
solution. Farm economics is a
complex subject. Any stablilza-
ton plan should be put through
the mill of expert analysis and
cautious experimentation.
But the Grange program GER
tainly heads in the light direc-
ton. It accepts. for instance, out
right production payments only
as emergency insurance against
disaster. It sets up ahead of that
last resort what might be called
a defense in depth, the forward
three lines of which Mr.. G o S
thinks could be held most of the
time with o n ly administrative
expense to the government.

Blackfe'S Dead
Blackie, the printers dog,

Blackie, the printers dog, is
dead!
Having grown old and infirm
from life's vicissitudes, he used
his burden as a pillow and sank
into the last sleep. His aches and
pains are no more. Problems, he
has none. Like the bones he oft
times buried for a rainy days
feast" and then forgot about,
the pondrous drama of his days
on Earth is a thing forgotten.
We buried him Jason and y
in grave in Ted Wynegar's
field. Out Of proper upbringing as
mortals. we laid him away in a
little casket made especially for
him by Ole Overhaul.
In truth, we did for him what
he would have done for us if he
could have changed places with
us.
Should we say that out of a
questioned human propriety we
conducted no ritual nor sang no
sad song. Openly Jason and y,
we did not. Yet for that fine old
black dog there were hymns in
our hearts.
Blackie, so we have been told
by those who should know, did
not come from frivolous travel
ing salesman" stock. He was one
of litter of handsome little pup
pies born at the Weter d airy
farm west of Browning ID years
ago. On both sides of the house,
as measured by canine values, he
could lay claim to worthy par
entage. His father was a big TO-
bust Labrador. His mother was a
so-called "Rattail" Spaniel.
When Blackie was a year old
the Weters gave him to Ed Nc
Dougall. Later McDougall gave
him to Jack Duncan, then pub
Usher of the Browning Chief.
McDougall's gift to Duncan was
a gesture of kindness in behalf of
the lit tt e fat Duncan boy"
known as Wayne. Through
Wayne's happy childhood he and
Blackie were deep comrades.

OFF DEAD CENTER

The President has signed the
most recent farm bill W it h OBJ
vious reluctance. His message, in
fact, made his reluctance so OBJ
vious as to prompt 8 e n a t o r
Aiken's remark that MIR. Tru-
man had succeeded in making a
good case for a veto.
And certainly the Presidents
criticisms are justified. The bill
is largely a patchwork seeking to
remedy acreage inequities in pre-
vious legislation at the cost, in all
probability, of making big sur
pluses still bigger and even less
defensible.
We do not know what pressure
Mr.. Truman has been under not
to veto. Barring that, t h e only
reason we can see for his signing
the bill was what it promises to
do to the scandalous potato sur
plus-next year. And we suspect
that h e s e potato restrictions
were congressionally possible only
by way of acreage concessions to
cotton and peanuts.
All of this does precious little
to pull the country out of the
farm support mess that is f a s t
getting as bad as the tariff log
rolling Of rs years ago. Mr.. Tru-
man is entirely right in calling
on Congress to consider "funda-
mental improvements in our agri.
cultural legislation" But if he
thus is urging the Brannan Plan
in the form so far put forward,
we would disagree strenuously.
That plan would support agri-
culture at a prosperity level in
stead of insure the farm T
against calamity. It offers what
might turn out to be a piece of
perpetual motion political mach
inery, with the farmer and labor
supplying the steam. No one
knows how much it would cost.
And, to be crassly realistic, the
majority of farmers don't like it,
for it would place their fortunes
directly at the mercy of annual
appropriations by Congress.
To what, then, can the country
turn? A complete abandonment
of all farm sterilization measures

With the passing of the beloved
Annie Duncan, Wayne's mother,

liked Blackie.
