a Story About Hiring a Boy

enough, there was a big ole owl a. setting
on a limb over the feed pan. / raised my
shotgun and drew bead on him Just as I
pulled the trigger, the storm broke AS my
gun went off, the lightning hit the barn
roof right up there, and set it on fire. I
ran back up the path and shouted for the
neighbors.
"They all came around and we got the
water going and the fire engines came out
from the village, and everybody helped and
we finally got the fire out before it did too
much damage"
The boys were wide-eyed One Of them
said, slow many fire engines Gamer And
another asked, ibid all the neighbors come
and help?" And another wanted to know,
did yore HOSES git skerart?" One asked,
How long did it take to rebuild the barn?"
and so on. But one little freckled-faced teller
in the back said, did you git the owl?p
THAT" said the farmer, els the boy
hired, because Inowed that he at least
could stick to the job at hand and not 60

CERIOUS subjects don't make too easy
- reading on hot summer evening so
you may be glad to get laugh out of the
following story told recently by Senator
EIlender of Louisiana, chairman of the SEN
ate agriculture committee:
A farmer, hard oppressed for labor during
harvest time decided to hire a boy from the
.neighborhood He assembled the crop Of
boys in the vicinity, and unable to decide
which one would give out the most work,
he seated them behind the henhouse, and
began telling story.
'.Boys," he said, "last year had lot
of trouble with my hens. They began dis
appearing, one by one finally decided
that it was an owl getting them, and
figured I'd better sneak down by the hem
house some night and do something about
it. ! loaded my shotgun, and as stepped out
the back door, noticed that the sky had
clouded over, the moon was hid and storm
was just about to hit us.
"But sneaked down the patch to the
henhouse, as quietly as could, and sure

It's Fair Time Again

TNHESE swift seasons really roll, don't
i they? Here it is almost fair time again,
as the front cover Of this issue Of Montana
Farmer Stockman reminds US.
Farm and ranch people are usually about
ready for good time when the fair opens
And they have been turning out in greater
numbers with each succeeding year. They
go chiefly for the thrills and enjoyment, and
the visiting with friends. But they don't
overlook the educational advantages and
the opportunity to see what's new in farm
and ranch machinery, in household equip
ment, and in other lines.
The stock and grain shows, the commu-
nifty exhibits. the art and needlework de-
partments, the All and Future Farmer

Looking Back on the Rollback

of protein. Marginal producers were being
encouraged to raise cattle A lot of specula-
ton was coming into the picture with re-
suits that might have been damaging to the
whole industry.
Most producers prefer reasonably sta
bilized market to one of the boom and bust
variety. Prospects for cattle prices appear
relatively favorable for some time to come.
Population is growing steadily and any con-
tinued rapid increase in beef production is
unlikely. Grass and the supply Of feed grains
are. the limiting factors. And supplies of
both are more likely to go down than up.
These abnormally favorable grass and crop
years throughout the major producing re
gions Of the country won't continue forever
without break
And as one grower remarked dryly a
few days ago, "the higher cattle prices are
the more work for Uncle Sam"
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-07-15

NOV that the tunult and the shouting
~ over the beef. price rollback have sub
sided somewhat, the situation seems to boil
down about like this:
The two additional rollbacks announced
by the OPS will not be enforced. Even if
congressional action does not wipe them out
the administration will quietly forget about
them.
The original rollback will probably
stand Even though producers deeply resent
the way in which beef was singled out for
drastic action, and the adverse publicity the
cattle industry received, some of them have
come to the conclusion that Rollback No. /
might even prove beneficial in the long run.
Cattle prices seemed headed for rather
fantastic levels. Beef was being priced out
of reach of more and more consumers.
Housewives were turning to other sources
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-07-15

shows, and all the rest, come in for their
share Of attention.
By the time the show in front of the.
grandstand is about to start, the old feet and
back are getting little tired and it's good
to just sit and look, as well as hear, for a
while. With the rodeo, the races and the
speciality acts there is rarely dull moment.
Crops are good in most sections Of Mon
tana and Northern Wyoming and the price
outlook is favorable, so most families will
plan to spend at least a day or two at the
fair. The youngsters will love it and the
older folks will enjoy it a lot more than they
may let on.
So, well see you at the fair.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-07-15

ing, leave behind us fields that have not
washed away. When our boys assume the
mortgage on the land that's had our toll,
they'll not have to ask the question, Here's
the farm, but where's the soil?'"
The worst headaches resulting from poor
soil management are usually suffered by the
following generation If you want your son
to have wholesome respect for your abil-
ity and foresight better see thai, he gets the
soil as well as the farm.

The new UsDA Year Book IS now az

The new USDA Year Book is now avail
able for distribution Your congressman or
senator may be able to send you one on
request as long as his supply lasts. Or you
can secure copy for $3.50 from Superin-
tendent of Documents Washington, D. G.
The book is entitled, Crops In Peace and
War" 1t deals with the processing of all
major farm products, their industrial and
food uses, by products from them, utilization
of wastes and secondary products, pro-
cedures used In finding new uses, and the
requirements Of consumers and markets.
Grass plants respond in production to
being permitted to get fat just as the cow
that grazes there" says Ray G. Johnson,
range specialist of the Montana Extension
Service ''They Starve to death just as do
poorly handled livestock Once starved out,
they cannot be replaced economically and
generally not at all. Most of the range Inn
provement practices offered in the ACP are
to help ranchers produce fat grass. County
committeeman are urging ranchers to use
these range building practices in order to
increase defense production"
Recent attacks on the parity principle
have brought out such strong support for it
that there is more reason than ever to be
heve that parity will be continuing obiec-
tive in the federal farm program. This is
important to young farmers because i
may mean that they will not be plagued b,
periods Of ruinously low prices like thos'
that proved so costly to their fathers.
While beef cattle are nearly as important
as hogs in total meat production they con
sumo only a third as much grain and othel
concentrates. To a far greater extent than il
the case of hogs, cattle production can be
increased without greatly increasing acre
age of soil-depleting crops. Generally
speaking the answer to increased beef pro
duction lies in greater production of grass
Lambs. wool. beef cattle. cotton and ric,
are among the comparatively few farm
products selling above parity. Hogs are jus
about on the parity level But milk oats
chickens, eggs, corn, butterfat, dry beans
wheat and numerous other products ar
selling below 100 percent of parity. Citru
fruits, potatoes, apples and several other
are selling under the IS percent mark.
