Keeping in Touch With Washington
Farm Controls keystone
OF Managed Economy

many farms 10 lie idle and re-
duced production on others.
Memorandum No. IS by Selective
Service Director Gen. Hershey has
been dispatched to all local draft
boards to re-emphasize national pol
icies that farm deferment must
be made where necessary to main
tain essential farm production. The
order tells draft boards to work
more closely with their USDA coun-
ty defense mobilization committees.
Secretary Brannan has told the
county committees to keep closer
watch on the effect of the draft on
farm production in their areas and
to supply the boards with pertinent
information. The committees will
not make recommendations on de-
ferments, but they will supply the
boards with facts upon which to
base decisions in individual cases.
Congress and the farm organiza-
tons have been flooded with letters
complaining that harsh and unreal
sonable draft policies are playing
hob with farming operations. The
house agriculture committee called
Gen. Hershey on the carpet and told
him emphatically that something
had to be done about it.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-01

For instance: s"The net income Of
farm operators in 1850 wolid buy
only two-thirds as much goods used
by farm families for living purposes
as in 1945."
Farm operators had net income
of $12.8 billion in 1915. In 1850 they
had $13 billion, but 1850 collar
would buy only about two-thirds as
much as it did in 1945. Non-farm
purchasing power increased, mean
while.
Production expenses in 1850 were
so percent of farmers gross income,
compared with So percent in 1945.
Examples of increased costs, cited
by the committee, included farm
machinery, up so percent; building
and fencing materials, up 20 percent;
taxes, up II percent; farm wage
rates, up Is percent.

Song Of The Lazy Farmer

until the public gets so mad that
government decides to try some
price controls on things we buy.
That may be perfectly all right
but it is always a sight to watch
the boys in charge sweat DER the
price that farm stuff should sell
for. So once again, just like
done back there in nineteen forty
one, I'm headin' down to help
'em out and tell them what it's
all about.
Of course, no ones invited me,
but can't stand to wait and see
how inexperienced city men
might get things all mixed up and
then show great surprise when
farmers say, eve can't grow this,
it doesn't pay" If they'll keep
still while I explain bout feedin'
steers and CROWN grain, it
shouldn't take me very long to
tell them what they're doing
wrong. But even if I have to
take month to get 'em all awake,
I'm sure Mirandy (ain't she
grand?) will have the spring work
well in hand.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-01

MONTANA FARMERS plan to
seed the largest acreage of spring
wheat in their history, 4,568,000
acres, the bureau of agricultural eco
Monies reports. This would be 20
percent increase over the 3,807,00
acres seeded last year.
BAE said $4,000 acres were
seeded in winter wheat last fall, CIV
ing Montana an expected 6,161,O00-
acre wheat crop this year.
There were 5,282,000 Montana
acres in wheat last year.
Farmers told BAE they plan to cut
barley paintings 38 percent this year
to $4,000 acres; oats II percent to

435,00O acres and corn percent to

Flaxseed is expected to be planted

The bureau said moderate reduc-
tons are expected in all row crop
paintings.
Dry bean acreage is expected to
be down 5000 acres from last years
10000; dry pea paintings are ex-
pected to drop to 5000 acres this
year from 10000 in 1850, and sugar
beet paintings of $4,000 acres would
be Is percent below the 1850 total.
Potato acreage is indicated at 49,

FARM NEEDS TO BE NET

Farm labor and production
supplies. as well as price ceilings
and the draft. are problems
which the farm groups have
been forced 10 take to congress
after failure 10 get satisfaction
from the various defense agen-
cies.
1t was like pulling teeth, but the
farm bloc finally drew a concession
from defense officials that agricul-
ture will be classified as an essential
industry when scarce materials are
passed around. 1t was more than two
years after World war 2 started be-
fore that concession was made.
For months farm leaders ham
mered on the doors of Mobilizer
Charles Wilson, Stabilizer Johnston
and Production Chief Harrison, de-
handing the right to sit at the "first
table" when priorities on scarce ma
terials are passed around. They were
politely snubbed The answer always
was: "Come back again later
1t took scrappy little Tom Aber-
nethey, chairman of the house agri-
culture committee sub-group on
farm supplies, to smoke out the de-,
Tense bigshots. He summoned Manly
Fleishmann, chief of the National
Production authority, and before a
jam-packed committee room drew
from him a commitment that farm
ers will be given the same considera-
ton as "other essential users" of
scarce materials.
eve will take care of farm needs, {"
Fleishmann said. 'There will be,
barring about war, enough machin-
cry to keep production going at a
high level. We recognize that trac-
tors can be just as important as
tanks"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-01

100000 boxcars next summer and
fall. Railroads have $4,000 boxcars
on order, but steel is scarce and only
limited number are being built.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that many elevators in the main
production areas are filled, some of
them with government grains
that won't move before harvest. That
will mean longer hauls to storage
and less frequent trips by boxcars.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-01
TO CHECK FARM DRAFT

Something is going TO be done
about the drafting of farm boys.
Washington officials finally are
convinced that there is some
thing TO the thousands of COM
plains that indiscriminate and
unjustified drafting will cause
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-04-01
100000 BoxcARs SHORT

An already tight boxcar situa-
ton is due TO get tighter by sum-
mer or early fall. Official advice
is to order shipments you will
need well ahead of time. and 10
put in your order for cars early.
Conservative estimates are that
there will be shortage of up to

When cold war starts to gettin'
warm, it naturally blows up
storm of drafting boys and build
ing planes and putin many other
strains upon the whole economy,
which always upsets you and me.
But things don't really get too bad

that helps explain why officials
closed their minds to overwhelming
evidence that there aren't enough
brains in Washington to run the
whole livestock industry. Official
minds already were made up before
talks with. producers and packers
began.
The decision on livestock was
only part of the overall pro-
gram for a managed economy"
Farm controls are part of that
program. in fact the keystone of
the whole program.
Livestock and livestock products.
are the most important single farm
product Without controls on live
stock, officials couldn't make grain
controls work.
Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston
let the cat out of the bag at an off
the-record meeting with farm lead
ers not long ago. ExaSperated by
farm arguments that across-the-
board farm controls aren't needed,
Johnston snapped: Sim going to
control farm prices no matter how
far below parity I have to chase
them"
Livestock men who have talked
with Johnston, Price Controller Di-
Sale and others get the impression
that the defense officials are listen
ing only out of bored politeness.
''Tel us how to make controls work;
not whether you want them or not"
is a stock remark
Agriculture Secretary Brannan has
told farm leaders that he wants to
be ON their side in the battle with
Disable and Johnston, but it is hard
for him to fight openly with the de-
tense officials. "After ALL" he says,
''they have the final authority, not
me, to make the decisions.
Few here think he can straddle
the issue; that if he does he may find

chairs. He advised Johnston and Di-
Sale against cotton and livestock
controls, but publicly defended their
right to make the control decisions.
1t was the farm organizations
which led the fight to kill OPA, and
they are no more favorably inclined
toward OPS. An administration VS..
farm organizations battle already
:, has begun. Brannan must decide
which chair he is going to sit in, if
either. AS an administration leader
he is expected to support admins
tration policies, but as agriculture
secretary he is supposed to represent
farmers. He is in a tough spot, one
of the toughest in Washington.
Either way he turns, Brannan is in
a pickle. If he backs farmers against
Disable and Johnston he could lose
his cabinet post. If he doesn't back
farmers, he will cease to be a po
litical asset to the administration
and thus may find himself invited
''out." A friend quotes him as Ia
menting cts damned if do anC
damned if I don't"

NO GRAVY FOR FARMERS

rnittee got fired of seeing farm
