It seems to me that this Is a
thought we might take along with
us in 1850 with great resulting
benefit. Of course, sudden polite
ness or thoughtfulness will be a
shock to many men and women
| and children but they will no
doubt weather it and come to
love it. I hope they never take
it for granted
From a purely selfish stand
point. there is nothing which pay
such dividends in good health,
good digestion. plus energy, in
creased beauty or prolonged
youthfulness as happy good hu-
NOR and kindly thoughts of
others. The harsh emotions Of
anger and irritability and hate
tense the facial muscles and pull
facial contour down. causing lines
and droops. The corners of the
mouth drop downward, lines
deepen from the nose to the
mouth and appear between the
eyes. -.
So. for the good Of family rela-
tions, as we'll as because of the
hope Of looking younger and feel
ing better. let's use the telephone
voice on the family!

Why Grow OId2
Treat Family to Charm.
BY Josephine Lowmon

Neal O'Hara wrote, "You never
know how the human voice can
change until a woman quits scold-
ing her husband and answers the
telephone"
This is vivid and humorous
example of how many people put
good manners on or take them
off, like a coat, in many of life's
personal relationships. The scold-
ing unpleasant voice of irritation
can, at a moments notice, change
into the honeyed or polite voice
most women use when answering
the telephone. The scowl which
is too often reserved for the fam
lily can quickly melt into the smile
used on outsiders.
Yet, if there is any place in
the world where polite manners
and thoughtfulness are impor-
tant. it is in family life. 1t is Diff
ficult enough for us to live in a
civilized manner in communities
and much more so in those rela-
$ tionships which bind us closely
/. together in the family unit. If
q home is to have any peace or
charm it must have gracious
manners.

Flour Mill P|uys Host

There will be none Of those old
jokes about the brides first bis
cults if the modern miller has his
way. To interest the coming gen.
Grafton in the fine art of baking,
owners of Washington's sole -four
mill invite school children to their
plant to see the steps through
which a kernel of wheat travels on
its way to becoming soft, white,
velvety flour.
The day visited the mill chill

Woodside School in Silver Spring.

While this age Is a bit younger
than they usually take on the trip,
these children expressed such an
earnest desire they were allowed
to come. So, with some Of the
mothers as well as the teacher to
watch over their young charges,
these youngsters discovered how
the wheat is made into the -four
that eventually winds up as bread
for their school lunch boxes. After
the trip through the mill, the
children gather in the model
kitchen for lesson in biscuit
making demonstrated by Mrs.
Julia thinner and her assistant,
Mrs. Violet Walker.
A large proportion of locally
grown soft wheat is used at this
mill which is supplemented with
spring wheat from the Western

Exploring Underground Water

Montana School of Mines, the soil conser-
walton service, the bureau Of reclamation,
the geological survey and perhaps other
agencies. An understandable presentation
of the information already secured and
completion of such surveys SO as to provide
thorough inventory of underground water
resources would be of great value.
If such information were available the
people of Montana and Wyoming would be
in much better position to make use of
this water In the meantime, an Individual
farmer or rancher, or community, will
continue to operate in the dark in finding
and developing such supplies without the
expert advice of water biologists Such as
sistance is relatively expensive and often
inadequate when handled on an individual
basis. Surveys of this kind should be on an
area-wide scale.
What is needed is an organized, under
ground water survey participated in by all
interested agencies and handled in a CO.
ordinated way. Perhaps there could be
pooling of available funds from state and
federal agencies that are properly con-
cerned with this problem. If that should
prove impossible then some other solution
must be found This important question of
the location and availability of under
ground water supplies should not go unan-
swered any longer.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-05-15
The Editors Page

IN SOME regions of the United States I'M
foreground water supplies have been
seriously depleted by over-use. Wells have
been dug and water pumped for irrigation
and other purposes with little consideration
given to the importance of maintaining the
water table at satisfactory level 1t has
been assumed that underground supplies
were inexhaustible.
But with greatly increased pumping the
sub-surface pools and currents have di-
minished or have disappeared altogether. 1t
has been necessary to drive the wells deep
er and deeper with accompanying increases
in pumping costs. In some areas many wells
have gone completely dry.
While pumping has thus been over
done in some states, too little use has been
made of underground water in Montana
and northern Wyoming. 1t is true that in
some districts water suitable for irrigation
or domestic use lies too far beneath the sur
face for practical utilization. In many areas
too little is known about the underground
water situation to estimate the possibilities.
Due to variations in geological formation
water supply might be tapped at a pump
able level at one point, while well drilled
a comparatively short distance away might
prove to be dry hole.
Valuable studies have been made in
some counties under the auspices of the

payments amounting to the difference be-
tween national average price and support
price would be made to the producer. In
order to be eligible for crop loans on stor-
ables, and payments on perishables, grow
ers would be required to pay insurance pre-
miums, keep within acreage allotments and
maintain minimum soil conservation pro-
gram agreed upon by local committee. Pre-
miums would be paid in form of note pay
able at the end OF. marketing season.
There is also growing interest in two
price plans particularly with respect to such
basic commodities as wheat and cotton. The
state department at Washington has strong
ly opposed two-price programs in the past
because of the fear that they would disturb
trade relations with other countries. This
attitude appears to have changed some
what in line with the changing export trade
situation and it is now understood that the
state department will not object to some of
the two-price plans that have been pro-
posed.
The income certificate plan designed for
wheat was summarized on this page in the
April Is issue Other plans of a similar ma
ture have been suggested. Most of them
are designed to enable the producer to
share in the domestic market on a parity or
similar basis, and accept a world price for
the balance of his production. They would
be self-supporting to a substantial degree
and would not depend upon congressional
appropriations. Some would be coupled
with acreage control. Others would do away
with acreage control and rely upon mar
keting quota system
Congressional committee hearings will
be held during the coming months to study
these and other proposals for Strengthening
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-05-15

HvHERE are going to be some important
J. changes in the federal farm program.
Probably not this year but almost certainly
congressional agriculture committee lead
erS.
1t is generally agreed that new APP
proach is needed in price supports for per-
ishable products. The experience with pota-
toes and eggs has demonstrated that the
present program is unavoidable, at least
without tight marketing quotas.
While the support program as now set
I'D functions much better with basic COM
modities like wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco
and other storables it is vulnerable in some
respects even with those products Acreage
controls are hard to administer and tend to
block desirable adjustments in farming
programs. And the whole system invites
political attack because of the large appro-
priations required to finance it.
Legislators are looking for methods that
will require fewer annoying restrictions on
producers, permit greater flexibility in
cropping programs, and operate to some de-
gree as crop insurance Active consideration
is being given to a number of proposals de-
signed to place the whole price support pro-
gram upon stronger foundation.
The basic elements of one price insur-
ance plan that is being given serious con-
sideration are as follows: Farmer would pay
a premium of about 5 percent of gross re
ceipts from price-supported commodities
Price of storable crops would be supported
through loans and storage as at present. In
the case of perishables government pur-
chases would be made only to supply ex-
port demand school lunch programs ane
other similar outlets. In addition to that

Only one-third of the worlds people ge


Only one-third of the worlds people get
enough of the right kind of food That third
consumes three-fourths of the worlds food
supply. Half of the human race actually
goes hungry. Famine and starvation still
plague large areas of the earth as they did
in ancient times despite the tremendous
progress in production methods and tech
niques in some regions. World populations
continue to grow at a rate of about 100000
900 year, keeping ahead of the world food
supply. In food scarcity countries, increased
production, coupled with encouragement of
birth control, offer the principal hope of
improvement.
Latest USDA production and demand
estimates indicate that the wheat carry
over a year from now will be at least So
100000 bushels less than the present esti-
mated reserve of 450,000000 If the crop
outlook in important producing regions con-
tlnueS to deteriOrate the reduction might be
much greater While surplus control, or
some effective substitute, will probably
continue to be necessary in the years ahead,
the people of the United States should insist
that reserve supply of at least 500 900
bushels be maintained as permanent nation
al insurance against food shortage. That
carryover would be none too large if war
emergency and short crops should coincide.
Price support problems in American ag-
riculture are not innovations of the 10th
century. Back in 1910 a tobacco surplus de-
veloped in the Maryland and Virginia col
onies Growers tried to make voluntary
production control work without success.
Finally bands of producers roamed over the
countryside burning tobacco stocks to force
prices up. Present-day attempts at produc-
ton control while far from perfect are al
least better than mob action.
Western markets are becoming NOR,
and more important in their effect on price
paid western livestock producers. This i
true of hogs as well as cattle and sheep
West coast packers are buying hogs as fa1
east as the western part of the cornbelt
There is greater opportunity for livestock
feeders in Montana, Wyoming and other
western states than ever before The bis
west coast demand is for slaughter animals
Growers in the deep south are going fol
beef cattle in big way. Income from this
source in Alabama, for instance, increased
from 100000 to $6O,OO0OOO in the last l:
years.
