OECRETARY BRANNAN'S removal of
Oacreage limitations on 1851 wheat and
corn production, as announced Jan. 5, comes
as logical step in the nations defense pro-
gram. Even with normal crop conditions
and unrestricted acreage this year the stock
piles of these vitality important food and
feed grains would be much smaller than de-
sirable in such period of emergency.
AS far as this years wheat paintings are
concerned, the lifting of allotments will
have little effect in the main winter wheat
belt. Spring wheat cannot be grown sue
cessfully there so the principal result of the
announcement will be to remove the PEN
atty in the case of growers who overseeded
last fall
But in Montana and the few other states
in the spring wheat region the removal of
restrictions will open the way to an extern
sive increase in acreage. Winter wheat
growers who held to their allotments last
fall can now plant their surplus acreage to
spring wheat or other grain. Those who
overplanted will not be penalized. And the
regular producers of spring wheat can seed
all available acreage.
The production outlook in some wheat
districts of the United States is unfavorable
Drouth has persisted in the southwest, par
ticularly in Texas and Oklahoma And seri-
GUS winter-killing is a possibility in some
parts of the midwest where cold weather
struck fields unprotected by a snow blanket.
Another serious threat is the new wheat
rust, Race 15B, which was identified in IL
states last season. If weather conditions this
year should be favorable for rust develop
ment heavy losses might result.
Another factor that makes defense Of

as cattle feeding on pasture deficient in
phosphate develop physical difficulties.
Proper nutrition is playing far more
important part in the treatment of human
disease than it did generation ago. And
there is abundant reason to believe that it
will play far greater part in the future.
There is growing agreement among medi-
cal authorities that preventive medicine
based on proper nutrition will in time sup
plant much of the corrective medicine of
today.
As public understanding of the relation
ship between food quality and health in
creases, farmers of the future will give as
much attention to the mineral content and
nutritive quality of their crops as they do
to quantity production.

Lid Comes Off Wheat Production

ficials anxious to encourage full acreages of
grain is the possibility of below-average
crops during the next few years. Growing
conditions of the past decade were abnor-
mal1y favorable Bumper crop has followed
bumper crop in most of the important wheat
and corn producing areas. But everyone
knows this won't go on forever. And series
of short crops coupled with war emer-
gency might be disastrous
On the demand side huge new outlets for
grain are shaping up. 1t now appears that
large quantities of wheat will be needed for
the alcohol production required by the syn
thetic rubber industry and others vital to
the defense effort. Increasing livestock pro-
duction seems likely to take all available
corn and some wheat may have to be used
for stock feed in another year or two. Ex-
port demands may also increase.
So this year and probably for several
years to come graingrowers will be asked to
plant for maximum production But the
blowing of marginal crop land will be dis
couraged as an uneconomic practice that
would hurt rather than help the defense
program. There is going to be need for more
grass as well as more grain.
The price outlook continues favorable.
The wheat support level announced last Au-
gust was based on the latest parity price in
formation available at that time. Secretary
Brannan has stated that eff parity is higher
at the beginning of the 1852 marketing
year, the support will be increased to reflect
80 percent of parity at that time, but in no
bushel as national average"
Many market observers expect mounting
demands to maintain prices above the sup
port level.

Human Health and Soil Fertility

GCIENTISTS who have studied the rela-
otionship between soil fertility and the
food value of agricultural products know
that nature sometimes puts up good front.
She can often produce a nice looking vege-
table on soil that has lost its proper mineral
balance. Or a seemingly normal egg from a
hen that is poorly fed. Or grain that looks
all right on ground that is poor in nitrogen.
But the vegetable may be lacking in vita
minis. The egg may have less than the nor
NAL mineral content. And the grain may be
low in protein.
When the mineral content of soil runs
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-01-15

Price initiation may average to 1O per-
cent year for several years because of the
defense program, in the opinion of some
economists. High volume production, use of
machinery in place of man labor wherever
possible, keeping money invested in produc-
tive enterprises and early buying of operat-
ing supplies are among the ways in which
farmers and ranchers can beat initiation.
Government controls will keep prices from
skyrocketing but will not prevent an up
ward trend
Suspension of ECA marshall plan) aid
to Britain will have comparatively little
effect on exports of u. S. farm products.
Very little of the wheat and other grain ex-
ported to England has been purchased with
ECA dollars. This has also been true of
meat and dairy products in recent months.
The British will continue to buy all the
cotton they can get from us.
Tariff rates ON Canadian cattle coming
into u. S. changed from 11a cents pound
to 219 cents effective Jan. [, 1851. Tariff on
sheep and lambs also increased from $3.50 a
head to So on the same date. Last year cattle
imports from Canada tota1ed only $4,000
head Sheep imports totaled 10000.
All signs point TO at least moderate in
flation. The longer you put off buying the
operating supplies you need the more you
are likely to pay for them. Months and per-
haps years of tighter supply in many lines
lie ahead.
Decentralization can prove costly in
a period of initiation. With labor becoming
increasingly scarce and high priced, concen-
tration on fewer crops will permit greater
efficiency and fuller use of mechanical
equipment. Irrigation farmers particularly
should study their cropping programs with
these facts in mind.

Cheerful Outlook for Madam Hen

DOULTRYNEN are taking a second look
u at the market outlook for the coming
year and what they see is encouraging. The
usual seasonal decline in prices is taking
place as production climbs but the market
will be maintained well above a year ago.
And unless all signs fail prices during 1850
will average high enough for efficient pro-
ducers to make a satisfactory profit in spite
of higher feed costs.
The number of hens and pullets is
slightly less than at this time a year ago.
Cold storage stocks are extremely low. And

Haines Cutoff Now Definitely Closed

Word was received today by Frank Metcalf, territorial highway engineer, that the Haines Cutoff is definitely closed to traffic.
 Shows on the pass summit have made travel hazardous and the Canadian government has put a gate across the entrance to the Canadian section of the road. The Territory will still keep the road open 32 miles past Haines.
 Gov. Gruening, Treasurer Henry Roden and Metcalf were to meet Tuesday afternoon to decide where to keep the Haines ferry this winter There will be no more ferry trips until spring.

Relaxation for Unloading Glass A Explosives

Class A explosives in 50-ton lots are now being unloaded at the Army dock in Seward and an in crease in the amounts unloaded at Valdez have been increased, accord ing to U. s. Coast Guard head quarters here.
 This relaxation has come about as a change in the attitude of a merchant marine and fisheries Con- gresSional subcommittee, it was ex- plained. The committee said that in the cases of Alaska and Hawaii there need not be strict regard for the American Table of Distan- ces" which provides for the amounts of explosives that may safely be unloaded in the vicinity of popula- tion centers.
 This relaxation of regulations now in effect terminates February 15, 1852, headquarters said. Seward, which is now permitted to handle Class A explosives 50 tons per handling at the Army dock, was previously allowed none.
 The amounts permitted at the Valdez Dock Co.,, wharf, have been increased from COCO to 12,000 pounds and the amounts at the Pacific Am- erican Fisheries dock at Valdez have been upped from 5000 to 6,000 pounds.
 The relaxation does not affect any other Alaska ports, it was pointed out.

 Demo-GOP Fight
 New Jersey - Democratic candi- dates are fighting Republicans on q law enforcement issue stemming in part from crime investigations; at stake are the full membership of the House and II of the 21 State Senate seats. The special House of Representatives election is in the 9th district. which the COP has carried comfortably since 1886.
 There are other big city contests for mayor = in Indianapolis De- troit, San Francisco and Bridgeport, Conn. for example = but perhaps the strangcst campaign has been that in
 Boston = James Michael Curley conducted a campaign" in which he did not once make an appeal to the voters since the primary six weeks ago. Mayor John B. Hynes 53. then ran 3l ,000 votes ahead of the 77-year-old Curley, enough to make him a strong favorite for re- election. Boston elections are non- partisan both Hynes and Curley are Democrats.
