THIS is NATIONAL FUTURE
Farmer week

Over 900 future farmers enrolled
in the high schools of the State and
who are members of AZ chapters of
Future Farmers of America in Mon
tana are participating in activities in
celebration of National FLA Week,
February IS to 25, 1850.
Activities include programs which
demonstrate agriculture, leadership,
community service, and cooperative
training engaged in by future farmers
members. Window displays, news ar
ticles, radio programs, chapter, civic
and school participation by these
young farm boys give the public an
opportunity to know more of this
phase of education and training in
the high schools.
The week of Washington's birth
was chosen as National FLA Week
because he was a farmer and was one
of the first to use scientific methods
in the production of farm commodi-
ties.

: In a February letter to the
Secretary of the Interior, the
President again detailed his op.
position to the Army Engineers
Bureau of Reclamation joint plan
for the Northwest.
The plan Z" falls far short of
meeting the need for truly compre-
hensive and co ordinated develop
ment of the waters and other re-
sources of the Pacific Northwest" the
letter said.
1t pointed out that the program
concerned with one river system
is planned for construction and opera
ton by the two departments of the
government. Further, the program is
confined to river projects, and does
not extend to such equally important
aspects of resource conservation and
development as soil conservation and
land management, reforestation and
forest management and mineral ex-
ploration and development"
These views of Mr.. Truman's are
identical to those recently expressed
in a letter to the President by E. M.
Weston, president of the Washington
Federation of Labor; Henry Carsten-
sen, Master of the Washington State
Grange, and Roy w. Atkinson, Re-
gional Director of the CLIO. They
stated their opposition to the En-
gineers-Reclamation plan in their
letter.
Better Organization Imperative
The letter expressing the Presi-
dents views said that it is "more
important then ever to establish
better organizational framework .
for the conservation and development
of all natural resources in the Pa
cific Northwest, such as would be
provided by the eva he has already
Pointing out that the Northwest
is only cat the beginning of a
tremendous development program"
the letter said frankly:
eff the federal government is to
carry out its part in this program eff
fectively in proper coordination with
state and local governments and pri-
vate activities, there must be unified
federal responsibility and wise
planning and indignation of the ac-
tivities of all the federal agencies con-
cerned with the land, forest and
resources of the region"
This letter clearly establishes the
of the President to
follow through in the fight for a eva.

Originating with a suggestion from
M. w. Thatcher, general manager of

secure the money necessary to COM
plete the building. Members of the

After years of patient planning

work has started on the site adjacent
to the new GTA elevator and office

Excavations had been made and foot
ings poured before the severely cold
weather set in this winter.

GTA, is supervising construction on

of Agricultural Economics. Their re-
allied net income for 1949 was 1873
billion dollars, compared with the
1913 total of 1877 billions. This de-
cline, together with smaller drop
in 1948, brought the total realized
net income of farm operators down
% per cent from the 1947 record high
of 17.8 billion dollars.
Realized net income includes the
value of crops and livestock sold,
placed under Government loan, or
used in the farm home during the
year, plus Government payments to
farmers and the rental value of
farm homes, minus production ex-
penses. 1t is net income actually ere
alized"' by farm operators during
the year, and does not include the
value of any changes in farm inven-
tories of crops and livestock.
The assets of U. S. agriculture also
declined in value during 1949. From
the peak of 1877 billion dollars year
1850 has decreased something more
than 4 billion dollars. However, all
of this decline came from the lower
prices used in valuing some of the
major assets, chiefly farm real estate.
The decline during 1949 in value of
3.9 billion dollars, or six per cent.
When farm assets in both 1913 and
1949 are shown in terms of 1910
prices, there was virtually no change
in total assets during 1949.
The assets figures, developed as
of Agriculture" include estimates |
of farmers cash on hand or in banks, |
U. S. Savings Bonds, investments in
co-operatives, and the value of farm |
r a estate, livestock, machinery, |
motor vehicles, household equipment,
and crops stored on and off farms.
The 1949 decline in assets resulted |
from the reduction since |
1913 in market values of real estate, |
livestock, and stored crops. In adj
dition, the amount of farmers bank |
deposits and cash holdings also de-
clined. On the other hand, farm assets
in the form of machinery and motor
increased by over 2.2 billion
dollars in terms of current prices and |
values, and by CTS million dollars in
terms of 1910 prices. Farmers house
hold equipment, U. S. Savings Bonds,
and investments in co-operatives in
creased slightly in value. Farmers
bank deposits and cash on hand,
which declined 500 million dollars dur
ing 1948, had decreased another 800 |
million dollars by January 1 this
year.
Farm debts increased again during
1919. Farm real estate mortgage
debt was 5.4 billion dollars on Janu-
airy 1, 1850 compared with 81 billion
a year. earlier and At billion dollars
at the low point of recent years on |
January 1, 1916. Montreal estate debt |
,otaled 5.3 billion dollars on January
[, 1869, Excluding loans held or
guaranteed by the Commodity Credit
This may be compared
With 40 billion dollars on January 1,
l949, and 2.7 billion dollars at the
ow point of recent years on January
[, 1915.

University Reports On
Heat Lamps For Chicks

During a recent study of mira
red brOoding at the University of
Delaware poultry plant at New
ark, Superintendent Carroll Num-
ford found that the chicks prefer
red the white heat lamps to the
red lamps.
Both types of lamps are the same
shape and size. Infra-red lamps
give out only infra-red radiant en-
ergy which turns into heat when
it strikes a solid object such as a
baby chick. In separate pens, it
was found that the chicks grow
just as we'll under the red lamps
as they did under the white. When
the lamps were mixed, however,
the chicks DIVIDED under the white
heat lamp and ignored the red.
DR.. E. F. Waller, head of the
poultry and animal husbandry de-
partment, recommends that INSTALL
ing such a brOOder system, poul-
trymen should use all white or all
red type lamps.
In the University experiment,
two $50 watt heat lamps were sus-
pended % inches from the floor,
three feet apart. These two lamp
units are used to brood 200 to 25O
chicks. Cost of the lamps is less
than two dollars each. At the col
lege poultry plant, the infra-red
method of brooding proved efficient
during mild weather. The expert
ments are being continued through
the winter.

Egypt Still Fights

CAIRO - up - The Egyptian
farmer has joined battle once again
with one of his ancient arch foes

Since Biblical times this insect
has been one of the most serious
agricultural pests plaguing the mid

Peasants who titled the rich Nile
Delta soil under the pharOahs suf-
fered from locust invasions which
destroyed all vegetation in their
path.
This summer, large swarms of
them crossed the Red Sea and in
vaded Ethiopia, Somaliland, French
Equatorial Africa and the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan adjoining Egypt.
They laid eggs in all these regions.
Now the scourge has penetrated
along the Nile into Egypt. 1t could
be dangerous if uncontrolled be-

Fall Is Good Time To
Check-Up On Rats

Fall is a good time to check-up
on the rat situation around your
farm, suggested Sussex County
Agent William H. Henderson to-
day. Here are a few questions and
suggestions from the county Office.
Are all pOrches or recent addi-
tions to buildings of a material
resistant to the gnawing of rats?
Are all openings permanently
closed or protected by doors,
screens, or gTatings which rats
can't get through?
How many prospective rat homes
do you have inside buildings in
the form of dead spaces such as
double walls, spaces between cell
ings, floors, stairs, or bOxed-in pip
ing?
If you are planning q new build
ing or shed are you Incorporating
rat-proofiing ideas in the plans?
How many of your buildings are
set a few inches off the ground
These provide excellent places fol
rats to hide out.
What about old piles of lumber
straw, fuel wood, hay and manure
that are around your farm? IN rat
proofing a farm as a whole, atten.
ton should be given to the prem.
