fusion will open the way for an eventual
totalitarian system.
1t is not always easy to distinguish be-
tween that which is constructive and that
which is destructive. Between that which
will tend toward sound solution of pres
ent-day problems and that which will UNI
dermine freedom Between the rue pro-
gressive who believes in, and strives for,
those things that will make democracy
work in this modern age, and the saboteur
who tries to destroy the American way of
life while hiding beneath the cloak of lib
eralism.
The individual citizen must exercise
continuing courage and discrimination in
judging men and issues if this country is
to preserve the basic freedoms and at the
same time move steadily forward along the
path of progress In the confusion of con-
flicting claims he will sometimes be COM
PEELED to rely upon his instinct as well as
his judgment in distinguishing between

How Do You Milk a Soy?

the battle is not over. Many states includ-
ing Montana have laws taxing oleo. The
battle will now shift to the state legisla-
lures. But the handwriting is on the wall.
Public opinion, skillfully stimulated by the
oleo interests has become insistent that
margarine taxes be removed. Some states
may hold out for while but in the end
oleo will probably be freed from the tax
everywhere.
Dairy producers and dairy interests will
gain more from now ON by waging an Of
fensive. Better butter, better merchan-
died." may well be the slogan. The citrus
growers, the meat industry the nut pro-
ducers and many others have demonstrated
that "it pays to advertise"
Butter, a delicious natural food with ira
dition and romance behind it, has great
story to tell But if dairy producers and
professors don't organize to do the job no
one else will do it for them.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-04-01

TNHERE was bitter argument in congress
IL before the bill repeating the tax on
oleomargarine was enacted. Supporters of
the tax as a protective measure for the
dairy industry finally lost but not without
a struggle.
During the height of the debate in the
senate, Hickenlooper of Iowa took the floor
waving can of soybean product known as
soy cream. He charged that the country
would soon be flooded with imitation prod
ucts like the one he held in his hand.
During the discussion, someone asked
whether the label on the can indicated
that the "cream" was made from soy beans.
It didn't. Then how, inquired Senator All
ken of Vermont, would the American
housewife know that soy cream didn't come
from dairy cows.
Commenting on the debate, the Mime
apolis Star inquired, Gust how do you milk
soy?"
While the federal tax was repealed,

The EDITORS Page

THERE are encouraging signs today that
Il the American people are thinking more
effectively about public questions. There
is less inclination to look for some panacea
in the hope of an immediate and painless
solution of a basic economic problem. At
the same time there is little patience with
unthinking do-nothingism.
People, including farm people, are in
more critical mood They want stability
and improvement but not at the expense
of fundamental liberty. They are becoming
equally skeptical of leadership that would
destroy worthwhile progress that has been
made in adjusting to the machine age and
leadership that would risk essential free
doms in seeking an overnight remedy for
the economic and social ills that still beset
us.
They are becoming more vigilant in
Identifying and opposing leadership that
craftily seeks to gum up democratic proc
esses in the hope that the resulting con-

More Cattle on Farms

$4,000 and considerably higher than the
1939-48 average of 1000.
What cattle population present range
land acreage will maintain in normal grass
years is open to some argument but the to-
tai will certainly be substantially less than
the postwar peak and no doubt somewhat
less than present numbers Improvement
has been made in quality of stock and in
range conservation but these factors cam
not offset the difference between average
grass years and the exceedingly favorable
conditions of the past decade.
If present numbers of cattle are to be
maintained or increased somewhat in the
years ahead it will have to be as a result
of greater production on the farms And
there is reason to believe that the trend
may be in that direction General market
conditions are more favorable for the small
producer, as well as for the feeder, than
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-04-01

IF Montana is to maintain cattle numbers
in the future at anything like
the early postwar peak there is going to
have to be a considerable increase in pro-
duction on irrigated farms and on dryland
farms where wheat acreage is being re-
duced.
This fact seems clear when we study
recent trends against the background of
feed conditions that prevailed during most
of the 1940s. The decade of the '40's was
an abnormally favorable grass period. That
lush 4. condition coupled with favorable
prices brought Montana cattle production
to an all-time high in 1916.
Numbers dropped little in 1947 and
1913, and rather sharply in 1949 because
of dry weather in the. eastern part of the
