UNIT "A RADICAL Departure FROM
OUR Way OF LIFE
Acceptance of Universal Military Training Will Indicate
We Are Willing To Break Down Our System
By JOHN GRIFFIN,
In Boston Sunday Post

Nobody knows what the next few
years will bring, but apparently the
advocates of compulsory military
training, or universal military train
ing, as they now call it, don't want
to take any chances of universal
military training being considered on
it's own merits, if any. They want
to rush it through now, to take eff
feet some years in the future.
And it looks very much as if they
are going to succeed. The Armed
Services Committees in both House
and Senate have approved a bill which
ties universal military training up
with the draft and other matters,
although they insist no actual move
be made under universal military
training for several years.
Why are they so anxious to rush
universal military training through
now when it won't become effective
for several years? Obviously, they are
afraid that under more normal con-
ditions and substantial peace situ-
dtiOu, thSy WOu2uu oS dpte TO
it over on an American people who
have always loathed the idea.
Universal military training is the
most radical departure from our way
of life since the start of the Re-
public. 1t will disrupt the education
of millions of American youths. 1t
it will put them under the Army
training and the philosophy of the
top sergeant during some of the most
important years of their lives, years
when the formation of character and
the basis of career are most eff
fectively achieved.

ture may designate certain towns as
inspection points for sampling and
inspecting grain in carload lots.
Places presently designated are Great
Falls, Harlowton, Shelby and Lewis
town. Laboratory testing is done at
both Great Falls and Harlowton, while
only carload sampling is conducted at
Lewistown and Shelby.
THE PART PLAYED BY
TESTING
From the above it is apparent
that testing of grains is the very first
step in arriving at an accurate de-
termination of the quality and mar
ket value of wheat. Without testing,
under public supervision and control,
it would be impossible to assure the
wheat grower of receiving a fair
price for his wheat based on pro-
tein content, desirability of his prod
uct for flour making, etc.
Grain inspecting and testing is
big business in Montana. Naturally
it would be when grain growing is
such a major factor in our states
economy. Some facts and figures and
background may prove interesting.
Aside from the testing lab ac-
tivities at Montana State College,
the first grain testing laboratory in
Montana was established in 1920 in
Great Falls-the center then, as now,
of the largest grain producing area
in the state. Farmers demanded es-

ment of Agriculture for the
year 1949 and six months of
1850. For that 18-month perl
cd, which included the short crop
year of 1949, the income over all
expenditures from testing was ST.
1886 for 1949 and $22, 2,662.26 for
six months of 1850, or total of
$29,82O.92.
The above figures show that grain
testing, in itself, is a very profit
able venture carried on by the state,
but such enrichment of the general
fund is only incidental. Why grain
testing anyway? What does it mean
to Montana wheat farmers? What is
the Importance of wheat to the Mon
tana economy? Why the necessity
for expanding testing facilities?
These are but a few of the ques-
tions that came to this editors mind
as he talked to Comm. of Agricul-
ture Alfred Anderson about this new
building, plans for which are pres
emily undergoing architectural revis-
ion to suit the drastically reduced
Appropriation. The answers opened up
an entire new field of information on
a S177,907, 900 (1950 estimate) in
dustry which is the major source
of productive income to the State
of Montana.

GOLDEN; that wheat played mighty
important part in our states econ
omy; that in good years a major
portion of our farmers were pros
porous or at least eating well, and
vice versa in years such as 1949. But,
frankly had only vague idea what
this testing business was all about,
other than the fact that in some way
or another it provided insurance that
John Farmer would get a square
shake" on protein content, grading,
bit off more than | bargained for.
WHAT WENT ON BEFORE
There was time not too many |
years, ago need you be reminded,
when the wheat farmer was pretty
much at the mercy of the elevator
men, the commission man and the
grain speculator. High protein wheat
brought higher returns to the middle
man, but the grower didn't share the
higher price his superior product |
could command in the terminal mar
kets. Short weight oft times was in
dulged in to the detriment of the
grower. Likewise there was time |
when commission men, brokers, etc,
were not bonded and growers were
without financial protection should
the buyer take grain on consign-
ment and then not be able to pay
off in full.
All this has been changed. Today
there is a Federal Grain Standards
Act governing wheat handled in in
terstate commerce. Then there are
state laws covering intrastate. Mon
tana grain laws are closely pattern
ed after the federal act. Under these
laws there are seven principal grades
and a number of sub-grades which
in addition to protein tests, deter
mine the basis for figuring the per-
bushel value. More than half of our
Montana grain is normally high in
test weight, is sound, dry, sweet and
of good quality, and commands
higher price than wheat grown in
other parts of the country, particu
larly the more humid Pacific Coast
states.
To see that the laws are enforced,
there are federal inspectors handl-
ing interstate and their counterparts
on the state level. Under Montana
laws, the Commissioner of Agricul-

In his blast at the Syracuse

THE kind of basketball they

Irish referred to the rough over

particularly deploring Syracuse's
tactics of deliberately swapping

According to Irish and Auer-
bach. the Nationals send in a
mediocre player to pick a fight
with good player on the oppos-

being banned.

Wilson was not expected to go
