Furthermore, they intend to make pro-

it a good place to live for those who were
citizens of the country. And to lay aside
hostile feelings toward former antagonists.

ticularly encouraging in view Of some of the
comparatively gloomy reports that have
been coming from other parts of this

A Message From Turkey

IN THESE critical times when the flame
l. of freedom is burning rather feeb1y in
some countries across the seas and when the
spirit of 'slet Uncle Sam do it' is all too
prevalent, it is gratifying to know that there
are people who appreciate American coop
Grafton and who are still eager. to help
themselves.
An encouraging example of willingness
to work and, if necessary, to fight for demo-
cratic progress is cited in an informal note
received from Elmer A. Starch, former
economist of Montana Experiment station
and now associated with the bureau of
agricultural economics, who heads a group
of American agricultural specialists help
ing to organize broad agricultural pro-
gram in Turkey.
"For those of us who are interested in
helping to stake out the ways (dim trails
of peaceful means of world progress there is
no other place like Turkey for these people

Is 1t Easy to Start Farming Today?

easier, for young fellow to get started to-
day as it was in the demonstrating times.
In comparing his first-year experience
in 1912 with the corresponding experience
of young fellow who started from scratch
in 1850 he presents the following facts and
figures:
Whitman borrowed $500 in 1912 He
paid $1,000 for four horses and harness. The
other $500 went for equipment. He planted
80 acres. to wheat and got 20 bushels to the
acre. He sold the wheat at soc bushel for
a total of $1,2S0, which was 1920 short of
paying his indebtedness.
Now for the experience of young Bill
in 1850. He rented one section Of land with
$50 acres improved and another half sec
ton with SO acres improved, or a total of
200 acres that he can seed to wheat. He
worked for neighbor free in return for use
of machinery to farm his 200 acres. He
averaged 20 bushels to the acre or total of
1000 bushels Holding 200 bushels out for
seed, he sold $500 bushels for So bushel or
total of 1900. Cost of gasoline and other
expenses amounted to $4,000 leaving bal

could buy, pillow, level, irrigate and seed
land that was submarginal without water)
for about $3.50 acre. And according to the
best information he could secure, such land
would enable him to greatly reduce his beef
production costs.
Today, Rodgers is growing about 1,5OO,-
600 pounds of beef year on irrigated pas
lures. He is getting about 900 pounds of
gain per acre. And one acre is producing
more beef than 80 acres of his range land
used to do The payoff is that he is making
lot more money.
: This is just another example of what
some simple cost accounting, plus some
common sense, some determination and
yes-some capital, will do when rightly APP
piled. There are similar opportunities in
Montana. and Wyoming And they aren't
confined entirely to the stockgrowing
business.

Grass, Water, and Common Sense

A RANGE improvement program that
a paid off in a big way was outlined be-
fore the recent range management confer
ence at Billings by Allan Rodgers, a stock
grower of Ellensburg, Wash. Rodgers told
of his earlier range cattle operations. He
was doing as well as most of the ranchers
but he wasn't satisfied. One day he started
figuring what it was costing him to produce
100 pounds of beef When he had the answer
down on paper he was more dissatisfied
than ever.
So he arranged for some specialists of
the range management division of the soil
conservation service to make a survey of
his spread He worked with them and their
figures checked pretty closely with his. For
one thing his land investment was around
$240 per cow. And his labor costs were out
of line too.
Before he got through studying the sit
uation and looking around, he found that he

IN HIS interesting article, Changes Bring
= New Problems in Montana Rural Life"
in the Feb. issue of Montana Farmer
Stockman, DR.. Kelso of the Montana Ex-
pertinent. station refers to the problems en-
countered by the youth of today who wants
to get started in farming.
''There aren't farms enough for all, there
is no free land, it takes money capital, to-
day, as well as strength and intelligence
and frugality to get started in farming. -.
The methods of so years ago that helped dad
and mother aren't as helpful to the youth of
today as they were then" wrote DR.. Kelso.
But G.. H. Whitman, a successful pioneer
farmer of Blaine county takes issue with
this point of view and quotes some figures
to support his opinion. Mr. Whitman started
farming in Montana in 1911, when he lost
$3.50 month job and filed on 320-acre
homestead. He has developed the farm un-
til it has grown to 1880 acres and is COM
pletely mechanical with about $4,000
worth of equipment, electricity, telephone,
water system and graded roads. Neverthe-
less, he thinks it is just as easy, and often

ance of SIS, 500 with which to start in 1851.
While this example of young Bill tends
to over-simplify rather complicated situa-
ton that prevails in these changing SOS it
does serve to bring up an interesting and
important question: Was it easier for a
young fellow to get started farming in the
homesteading days? Or is it easier today?
Well be glad to have readers of Montana
Farmer-Stociman write us their views.
Let's thrash the question out in our Letters
to the Editor" department and see whether
we can arrive at some conclusion. So take
your pen, or pencil, in hand and tell us
what you think about it.

Droperies Can Make Windows Fit Decorative Plan
By GIodYs Miller

Finding windows in the right
places is next to impossible these
days. Surprisingly, it makes little
difference whether the house is
old or new or whether it was de-
signed by an architect or built
by a speculative builder.
The Older houses had windows
OF different sizes placed to look
well outside-and break UP good
wall space inside. In the new
home, the windows in the two
small bedrooms may be there, but
where oh where, can you place
T. the beds?
Architects and builders still in
sist that beds should be placed
against the inside walls.
Camoufiage for Balance.
Decorators are forced to COM
promise, and we camouflage to
achieve order and balance. We
covered the window wall with dra-
peries and place the bed in front
OF the window. In the summer
when increased ventilation is
needed, the draperies are drawn
back at night. The sleepers are no
more exposed to air than they
would be if they slept in a Sleep
ing porch.
And if the headboard of the bed
is wood, the wind does not hit di-
rectly on the head. When it is cold,
the draperieS and windows are
closed. The other window in the
room provides all needed air.
This arrangement leaves the
wall space intended for the bed
open for much needed storage
space. The tall chest for the hus-
band, the double dresser for the
wife. In the space between the two
chests, a pair of slipper or reading
chairs may be placed.
In the newer homes, with clere-
story windows placed above one
wall, the bed may be placed under
the window. In this case, curtain
these in a solid-colored marqui-
sette. or voile in color that
matches the wall, even if you use
a patterned fabric at the larger
window.
