600 developed to date. Thus, for the
two basins in which Montana is stu
ated, there is a total potential Of
AS, OOO, 900 kilowatts or nearly half
of the 1O5,OO0.OOO kilowatt potential
of hydro-electric power for the en-
tire nation
Montana will find itself in the
center of a great grid system of low
cost rhydro-electric power in the next
half century The development of
the Hungry Horse dam is just one
evidence of the tying-in of power on
an overall grid basis to make for
more effective distribution and use
of power.
The availability of low cost cleo
tricity is one of the most important
factors contributing to the improve
ment of farm and ranch efficiency
and rural living. Most of Montana
is situated in the Missouri basin. At
the present time only $4,000 kilo-
watts of electric generating capacity
have been installed in federally con-
structed hydro electric developments
sin the Missouri basin part of Mon
tana. This is at Fort Peck. Eighty
five thousand kilowatts are involved
in projects now under construction
and 100000 kilowatts would be avail
able from projects that are now
ready for construction.
An additional 175,OOO kilowatts
would be available from other de-
velopments presently planned by
federal agencies or a total of more
than $4,000 kilowatts in the Mis-
souri, basin part of Montana. Hun
cry Horse dam is m the Columbia
basin part of Montana. The develop
ment of this low cost power viii
mean a great expansion in farm and
ranch mechanization. No one can
foresee at this time the tremendous
advances in rural living and more
efficient production which are GER
tain to come in Montana as a result
of these developments in the mex
half-century.
Increased Agricultural Production
In the Missouri basin the agricul
tural phase of the overall compre
hensive development program is es
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-15

timated to increase the output Of
crop and pasture lands in the basin
some 40 percent, of which roughly
80 percent would come from dry
land farming areas and 10 percent
from irrigated areas. Hay produc-
ton would be increased 10 percent,
grazing SIS percent, wheat and corn
output 10 percent, other small grains
Is percent and sugar beets and pota-
toes 10 percent.
This increase would be accom-
plished largely by encouraging farm
ers and private owners of farm and
range lands to protect their lands
from erosion and to operate their
farms and ranches SO as to with

will soon be turnin' green and
winters bare, depressing sight
will disappear most over night.
The smell of ozone in the air fore
tells days that are warm and fair,
with tree buds poppin' out all
DER and flowers bloomin' by the
score, with pastures carpeting the
land while small grain grows to
beat the band.
But there is still another gain
provided by an April rain which
tickles me ten times or SO as
much as that it makes things
grow. Whenever ground is soaked
and wet, why then, of course, i
cannot set upon a tractor seat all
day and work my happiness
away. AS soon as it begins to
storm, whenever puddles start to
form, it means that I can quit
right then and rest until it's dry
again. So say, let the rain pour
down, why should I growl or fret
or frown? If crops amt in, that
is no crime-it means less work at
harvest time.

Song Of the Lazy Farmer

You'll never catch me looking
sour about a little April shower;
I never feel regret at all when
gentle rain begins to fall, because
Il figure that I git a double bene-
fit from it. For one thing, all
those raindrops mean that things

stand the more serious effects Of adj
verse weather conditions.
The increase in grazing capacity
possible through programs now be-
ing planned or in process, and the
more than doubling of hay produc-
ton, along with the increased out
put Of feed grains, will contribute
to increase the production of Mon
tana livestock during the next half
century. This increased livestock

compared with the country as
whole. During
T3 ~ the 90 year
kD-cEETUKY N ~ period 1925

the popula-
ton Of the three Pacific coast states
increased 80 percent while their
livestock numbers increased only AZ

increased during these same years
by only one-third. Milk production
increased only 46 percent
In the mountain states, population

ton 26 percent. Thus, the western
states and the Pacific coast are be-
coming increasingly short of ade-
quate supplies of meat and dairy
products.
This shortage of livestock in the

have to produce more livestock or

stock, particularly hogs, in Spokane
and Billings markets recently have
been very favorable compared with
Chicago, indicating a very strong
western pull for Montana livestock.
In the future, western markets for
Montana fat cattle and lambs should
be strong. "A greater number of cat
tie and lambs will undoubtedly be
fattened on Montana farms and
ranches for western markets. This
increased feeding and fattening will
fit in well with increased irrigation
acreage which will be developed
under programs now in operation
or being planned.

N the WeSIs
Montana farming and ranching
should be profitable assuming fairly
satisfactory weather conditions pre-
vail. In case of adverse weather, the
practices now being developed OF
followed and adaptations which will
come as a result of further scientific
progress and experimentation will
make it possible for Montana agri-
culture to continue at rather high
level of output.
The rapid development of indus
Try in the northwest, accompanying
increased availability of low cost
hydro-electric power, will tend to
strengthen western markets and re-
suit in relatively satisfactory prices
for Montana agricultural products.
Increased production of phos-
pilates, accompanying availability. of
low cost hydro-electric power, will
enable Montana irrigated farms to
increase their production of livestock
feeds and roughages, fruit and veg
etable products, as well as sugar
beets, potatoes and other important
crops.
Some Predictions
From our experience the past half
century, the programs and trends
now in operation, and the thinking
of agricultural leaders regarding de-
velopments most likely to occur, we
can quite safely make certain predic-
tions about Montana agriculture in
the next so years.
One prediction is that living con-
ditions of Montana farmers and
ranchers will continue to improve.
It will become increasingly difficult
to distinguish between a modern
kitchen and home in urban areas,
and those in our progressive farm
and ranch communities.
It is also safe to predict that farm
and ranch units will be more ade-
quate to utilize effectively the man.
agerial ability of the operators, that
enterprises on individual farm and
ranch units will be better integrated
to produce at low costs, and that
marketing practices and available
markets will be more adequate 70
produce satisfactory profits.
Number. Size of Farms. Ranches
The current trend toward smaller
number of farms and ranches in
Montana will probably be continued
for several years more. With high
wage levels, Montana farmers and
ranchers will continue to mechanic
their operations with resulting in
creased acreages. However, the de-
velopment of new irrigated areas
through Missouri and Columbia ba-
sin comprehensive projects will ere
ate additional irrigated farm units
There may be as many as 5000 addi-
tional irrigated farms established in
Montana by 1875, and perhaps 10000
by the year 1000.
Hence, the tendency to increase
the size of dryland farm and ranch
units resulting in smaller number
of these types will tend to be offseI
by the additional irrigated farms
After 1875, however, the total mum
Der of operating units in the state
is likely to increase because thu
great majority of dryland farm anC
ranch units will probably have sta
bilized in size and in general operat
ing pattern by that time.

products from their former midwest
and eastern markets to western
areas. In addition, freight rates will
be less than the former long hauls
to the midwest and east, which will
also give an added advantage to
Montana producers.
Western Markets for Livestock

years ahead. Livestock numbers in

the trouble increases. Working fewer hours may
easily be cause of the next business depression.
WHAT is THE REMEDY!
If prosperity is to continue more sales and more
production are essential. This requires more work
by all of us. "Money-wages" mean nothing until
we turn them into goods" What we can get for
our weekly pay, in food, clothing and shelter are
our REAL wages. This can be increased only through
increased sales and increased production which re-
quires longer hours, better work and more new in
ventiOns. WageWOrkers have more goods today be.
cause Of inventors and laboratories due TO
labor leaders and politicians.
Shall we destroy Unions? No! Shall we abolish
collective bargaining? No! Shall we enact Anti
labor legislation? No! Consumers want satisfied
labor with the highest REAL wages possible. But
both employers and wageworkers must cooperate
TO increase sales and production and the quality
OF the products. This could be brought about by
all agreeing a wage that "the average" is worth
and then pay a bonus for good work and more of
1t. Incentive pay is the consumers only hope: and
the wagewOrkers make up 5000 of the consumers.
WHAT ABOUT STRIKES
Then finished costs would go down, causing low
er prices to benefit consumers; while both real
wages and real profits would increase likewise Rut
strikes which costly to all parties must also he

that neither the labor. officials nor the cOmDanv
officials could get any pay while a strike is ON
This simple clause would do much to helm ont rs
consumers.
Another thought: Returning to my reference to
the cottage. The owner of the vacant cottage had
some idle money which he had planned to use in
building another cottage next door The fact. how
ever that he failed to his present vacant cottage
caused him to give up building the new cottage
This will result in loss of q different industries
from TIE woOdsmen who cut lumber to the electri-

the next one, with another enemy band dug
in along its crest"
Colonel Marshall-whO went to Korea in
November, stayed until March, and Observ-
ed the war all the way from top headquarters
down to line regiments-has small respect
for the quality of Communist forces or their
organization. Their successes he ascribes
to sheer weight of manpOwer, He repOrts
that their battle doctrine is about as infex-
able as it could be, and says, "They make war
as II the judgment or common sense of any
one lower than an army group commander
was not to be trusted" Their supply system
is primitive, and starvation and freezing
nave taken heavy toll of their troops. Their
tactics are elementary Colonel Marshall
characterizes the theory that they have taken
over the Russian tactical system as pure
drlp." Their medical system is so poor that
not zenith of the troops needs in this de-
partment are met.
i Newspaper readers have come on ac-
count after account of suiVidal Red mass
attacks. Of this, Colonel Marshall saws.

about, in which screaming hordes of Chi
nese moved like human tide straight into
the face of fire, and up and over the Ameri-
can line, never happened at ALL They

Finally, Colonel Marshall deals with the

Important matter regardless of future devel-
Opments and changes in the Korean situa-
ton, 1t has become a tough and splendid
Army, which knows its business, can &C
Ce1t and deal with severe hardships without
whining, has high morale and great pride
in itself. In the beginning it was afraid
of the Chinese, and of such devices as the
footing of horns and the blowing of bugles
in the night. It is no longer afraid it has
confidence and purpose. Colonel Marshall
gives great credit to General Ridgway who,
he says, "came to the command at just the
right TINE" When he came, the Army was
at rock bottom. Now, to quote Marshall
again, II will say without a qualifying word
that the men of the Eighth Army are the
hardest-hitting, most wOrkmanlike soldiers
have yet seen in our uniform in the course
of three wars. Day by day these formations
Army and Marine-are as capable of high
action as any troops alive" That, certainly,
is some of the best news that has come from
Korea. For, if the need should arise, our
great new armies of the future will be built
upon the nucleus which fought and learned
in Korea.

DELAWARE MEMORIAL BRIDGE

After years of labor, the Delaware Mem
Orial Bridge, which connects Delaware and
New Jersey, was opened for traffic at one
minute after midnight on Thursday morn
ing. Reports from the bridge were to the
effect that over 500 vehicles had passed over
the structure during the first hour of oper-
alton. We attended the dedication exercises
on Wednesday and were much impressed
with the enormous amount of labor involved
in its completion. We talked with men
prominent in the civic life of our neighbor-
ing states of New Jersey and Maryland.
Some of them brought up the subject of the
impact of the use of the bridge on the sew
eral sections of the territory adjacent to
the structure We were impressed with the
argument advanced by one prominent EaS-
tern ShOreman. He raised the question Of
the benefits and damages to be expected when
the complete road system connecting the
Delaware Memorial Bridge and the as yet
incOmpleted Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Mat
apeake is in use He had an interesting angle
on the subject. The main thought advanced
by this gentleman was that Kent and SuS-
sex Counties in Delaware and all of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland counties will
probably be more affected by the Maryland
Bay bridge than by the Delaware River
bridge. He advanced the theory that Balti-
more business interests are ready to make
an intense drive for business on the pen
Ursula once the bridge is in operation. And
he WoI3ered whether Wilmington would not
suffer as a direct result. That, of course, re-
mains to be seen.
Whatever the future holds for this sec
tiOh the Delaware Memorial Bridge with
its connecting links across the Chesapeake
is bound to change the travel habits of thou
sands. The beautiful structure certainly will
add, we believe, to the development Of all of
Delaware.

TOWARD THE AUTHORITARIAN
STATE

A short time ago the Saturday Evening
Post published "a remarkable article by
Charles Stevenson called "HOw Government
Pressure Boys Squander Your Money" It's
theme was we'll described in the Posts sub
title: with expensive books, cocktail par
ties and thousands of paid press agents, gov
eminent agencies beat the drum to glOrify
and perpetuate themselves. They are to
teach yOV what to think-at your expense. -
In the course of his revealing article, Mr..
Stevenson went into considerable detail con-
corning government propaganda on behalf
OF sOcialized electric power schemes Here,
in part, is what he had to say on that SUBJ
ject "In the Pacific Northwest it is a mat
ter of record that the Interior Departments
Bonneville Power Administration hired po-
litiCal leaders and officials of farm Organiza-
tions to tell the people they could not be
assured of hydrOelectric power unless they
took over their private utilities.
''This method has secured a Northwest
Federal power empire. SO now the area is
so inundated by government employees and
programs that the Interior Department has
been prOpagandizing for a sUpergovernment
as essential to coordinate them. This is the
proposed Columbia Valley Authority, which
could go beyond power generation, compete
in other private enterprise, and, it's OppO-
nents contend, be dictator of the entire econ
Omy." Mr.. Stevenson then added that an
Assistant Secretary of the Interior spent
months in the Northwest working with the
Bonneville clique in behalf of this campaign
and in opposition to a system by which the
states would help coordinate and develop
their own Columbia River program"
What is. true of the Pacific Northwest is
true of the other regions where government
has or seeks political electric power mono
poles. Here is a perfect example of how
every possible device and evasion is being
used imam attempt to force socialism down
the Threats. of the people, And here is a per-
feet example of how local rights, powers
and responsibilities are being deliberately
undermined and destroyed.
Even the Socialist Party has been alarm
ed at the lengths to which the government
has tried to gO-it described the eva pro-
gram as ga step in the direction of the
authoritarian state" But still the political
propaganda goes On-at the expense of ev-
cry man and woman who pays tax bill.
