Most of the production loans

Most of the production loans made
through the Farmers Home Administration
are being used to help farm families re-
adjust their operations to changing condi-
lions and to assist veterans and other young
farmers to become established on a sound
basis. Loans are made only to worthy FAM
lilies who cannot get operating or production
credit from other sources. Funds available
for such loans are limited.

A government survey in England
reported that the number of Illnesses
reported by the adult population in
creased 8 percent in the last year.
The days lost from work for health
reasons amounted to p percent.
The survey further showed that the
number of adults who complained of
illnesses under the National Health
Plan increased percent. Consulta-
lions between doctors and patients
averaged 13 percent above the pre-
ceding year.
Recently it was announced by the
English government that there would
be a slight charge for prescriptions
since the cost of socialized medicine
was much above the anticipated cost
and was fourth on the list of social
ization measures in terms of cost. 1t
was felt by the British authorities
that this charge for prescriptions
would discourage the malingerers and
neurotics who were taking up the
time of the overworked doctors.
Under The Dome
Through our efforts veteran
tubercular patient was admitted to a
Veterans Administration hospital for
treatment. He had made application
some time ago however, nothing
had been done and his condition had
grown steadily worse. 1t is to be
hoped that the hospital care given
this young veteran will bring back
his health.

Tips Given For
Asparagus Growers

Commercial vegetable growers and
gardeners run the risk of injuring
heir asparagus plants by improper
cutting of the spears. Many of the
asparagus crowns from which the
spears develop are within three or
four inches of the soil surface. If the
asparagus cutting knife is stuck too
far into the soil, much damage may
be done to the crown and crown buds.
The injury destroys crown buds and
retards the growth of the crowns.
BY cutting the spears diagonally
about an inch below the soil level
with one smooth cut, much injury to
the stalks and crown buds may be
avoided. The proper knack of cutting
comes only with experience, but if
care is taken, beginners as well as
experienced cutters may keep dam
age to a minimum.

Congressman Sixth District

Congressman Sixth District
The farmers seem to be waking up
to the fact that this Administration
is throwing away a great deal of
money on various farm programs. Re
Gently, two of the largest farm
organizations, the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the National
Farmers Union, protested the ire
mcndous waste of Government
money, fact which many of us sus-
pected for long time. Now these
farm organizations are realizing that
your and their taxes are being thrown
away.
The Farm Bureau stated after the
meeting of the Minnesota Production
and Marketing Administration in St.
Paul, at which Secretary Brannan
plugged for his costly farm program
which would subject farmers to fines
and jail sentences under certain
circumstances. "Within a week after
$4,000 to 100000 of public. money
was spent to assemble ali audience of
5000 to hear the Secretary of Agri-
culture deliver political speech in
St. Paul on April 4, the deal boone
ranged"
The Farmers Union blasted, Mil
lions of dollars Of Government funds
are being misused every year to
build up and maintain membership
in the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton. to sell its insurance and COM
mercial products and run its errands."
Here you have two rival organi-
cations, each agreeing on one thing
that Government funds are being
wasted on farm programs-and still
the Administration is plugging the
Brannan Farm Program whose costs
would run into billions of dollars
more a year.
Apropos of that, The American
Butter Institute, representing 80 to
40 percent of the producers Of our
butter supply, asked Secretary Bran
nan to cut support prices on butter
by about cents pound to the legal
minimum The institute stated, THE
present level Of support prices dis
courages consumption But the Agri-
culture Department refused to lower
the price supports although it now

Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-09-01

A reader writes us that his home
painted last summer has dull and
hfeless appearance and asks whether
it would pay him to have the paint
washed.
From the standpoint of appear
ance, would say yes very decidedly.
A neighbor who had his house
painted white just a year ago has
just had it thoroughly washed with
one of the paint cleaning compounds,
and the effect is really amazing. 1t
comes out a clean shining white and
the contrast between the washed and
unwashed portions is very notice
able.
The effect of the mild cleaner and
brushing and wiping is probably less
injurious than to allow the CRIME
and dirt to become set in the pro-
tective paint film. At any rate, I'll
bet some of the .neighbors will
quickly follow his lead in cleaning
up their paint jobs.

Note by I. w. D.-While this is
more elaborate and little more ex-
pensive than the average bag holder,
I believe it is the best have seen.
Certainly better than making the
