Let Your Heart Move Your Hand.
Join The March OF Dimes

Much is being sad-much is being done-and much
must still be accomplished to conquer the fight against
the dread dsease-infantile paralysis.
Only through fund raising campaigns this be done
Public response to the annual Embarrassing drive of the
National Foundation for Infantle Paralysis in previous
years has enabled this humanitarian organization to do
magnificent job in meeting the increasingly widespread
polio challenge.
The need for enormously successful March of Dimes
this year must be fully understood Not only was 1901
the second polio year record but it's timing mme
diatey following the year, in 1949, has created
urgent financial problems.
BY last fall epidemic aid funds of the National Founda
ton gone, despite most successful March of Dimes
the previous January Every available dollar had been
pressed provide for aid of the stricken Not
only for 195Os but also for patients from 949 and
other years who still required and treatment.
Four out of five of all reported cases of infantle
paralysis require aid in whole part from funds raised
during the annual March of Dimes campaign
those who do not need direct assistance from their
local chapters benefit however, because of betterafed
and equipped hospitals and knowledge about treat
men which have about in large part because OF the
March of Dimes foundation.
Here in our community, Maricopa county to be
exact 1850 has been the largest polio with lO6

What 1851 holds in store for us, knows but just
imagine how parents would feel member of their family

She said there are substantial

there will be fuller data on how

For the first months of 1850 the
beef cattle-hog price ratio was ap-
proximately 1:.8. These data show
that the swine producers are getting
proportionally less for their hogs
than in years gone by. There are
perhaps several reasons for this:
l. Decreasing demand for lard
2. Consumers objection to pork
cuts carrying high percentage of
fat.
3. Large corn crops in recent
years.
q. Consumers preference for high
quality beef.
S. Higher wages permitting the
purchase of more expensive meats.
Of the II western states only Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming and New
Mexico have in late years produced
a surplus of hogs over commercial
slaughter. Washington, Oregon and
CALIFORNIA; deficit, 1916 to 1948, was
456,00O,0O0 pounds of live hogs,
equivalent to about 100000 ami
mails. To supply the Pacific coast
market western packers purchase
hogs from the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Nebraska and other mid western
states.
Many of these hogs are. shipped
-
cts. This means that higher price
on the west coast markets has been
necessary to encourage the move
ment of hogs westward. The west
coast markets, including Spokane,
are generally / to 2 cents above
mid-western markets.
The population in the three Pa
cific coast states Increased 47.6 per-
cent in the past 10 years, compared
with Ills percent increase for the
United States as whole. The pros
poets are that the population in the
western states will continue rapidly
in the next decade. The rapid in.
crease in population in the west i:
resulting in increased demands fol
hogs. Therefore, Montana is very
favorably situated as to future hog
market.
Natural Conditions Favorable
The irrigated districts of Montan;
are well suited for the production
of hogs. Feed grains such as barley
rye, wheat and, in some cases, corr
are dependable crops. Alfalfa ais,
can be produced for winter supple
ment and for summer grazing. Dair.
by-products-skim milk, whey ant
buttermilk, the best known protein
supplements-ar available on man,
farms.
Hog production may be profitabl
on dryland farms where the pric
relationship between wheat produc
ton and hogs are more favorabl
for the latter.
No material increase in hog pre-
duction, is anticipated while tn
price schedule is decidedly more ia
vorable for the production of whea
sugar beets, beef cattle and wool
seems likely, however, that over tn
years, Montana will produce man
more hogs than are being produce
today.

which he said he got through in
the defense department appro-
priation bill. What the Curtis
amendment did was not to cut
appropriations and funds appro-
priated from the treasury by the
defense appropriation bill, but
reduced the amount that could
be spent from proceeds of a
salvage program, on salvage
The Senate by a vote of SO to
10 passed an army civil functions
bill allowing $638,578,213 for
civil functions of the army en-
gineers, cemeterial expense for
the quartermaster and expense
of the Panama Canal Zone gov
ernment in fiscal 1852. Senator
Paul Douglas was beaten back
three times in moves to reduce
rivers and harbors funds as was
Senator Homer Ferguson of
Michigan.
Sentiment in favor of the army
civil functions bill was strength
ened, of course, by the Kansas
Missouri floods, but there was
every indication that the con-
gress would refuse to stand the
cost of losses in that catastrophe.
It would mark a precedent, and
it was pointed out in some sec
tors that neither the Kansas nor
Missouri state legislatures had
made a single move to help their
own people who stood the losses.
The congress already had appro-
priated $25,000,000 for emer-
gency relief of the flood suffer-
ers.
Observers here point out that
in the Pick-Sloan plan for relief
of floods in the Missouri river
valley there is nothing but a
patchwork development because
there is no overall guiding plan.
These same observers declare
that the great demand for COM
pletion of dams and reservoirs,
some of which are included in
the civil functions bill, in Kan
sas, will be built at the expense
of flooding great areas of farm
land which under a more COM
prehensive plan would be per
fectly usable. Some suggestion
has been made that, if the pro-
posal of a Missouri Valley Auth
ority is too all-inclusive, that a
national committee be named
with no axe to grind, to make re-
| Communications, possibly for
breaking down the authorities
into smaller valleys such as the
Individual watersheds of the
Kaw, the Platte, the Big Blue
and other rivers.
