and as district attorney.
Silent in Mexico City.
After the close of the hearings
Mr.. ODwyer returned to Mexico
City and thus far has refused
comment on news stories saying
the committees report would Sc
verely criticize his official activ-
tiles as mayor and district attor-
ney.
The report dwelt only briefly on
one of the dramatic parts OF the
New York hearings-the testimony
Of John P. Crane, an official OF a
firemen's union, that he gave Mr..
O'Dwyer $4,000 during the last
mayoralty campaign. MFR. O'Dwyer
has denied fatty he ever received
such sum
The committee said it had in
sufficient evidence to form a con-
clusion regarding the transaction,
and added:
"It is hoped that the continued
investigation by the district attor-
ney of New York County will pro-
duce concrete evidence to estab-
liSh the truth"
Political Implications.
The report carried possible far
reaching political implications. In
addition to Mr.. O'Dwyer, it lev
eled a heavy barrage of criticism
at Democratic Cows. Fuller War

Tt seemed certain also to bring
renewed demands for President
Truman to remove Ambassador
ODwyer-a step the President
has not indicated thus far he was
even considering. Mr.. Truman
appointed Mr.. O'Dwyer to the
Mexico City post last fall few
months after Mr.. O'Dwyer hac
won another term as Mayor o1

THERE IS MORE official concern
over farm price trends than we've
seen in a long time. Growing indi-
cations are that farmers, and live
stock growers especially, may be
caught in 1852 price squeeze that
could be the tightest in years.
From February TO October the
average of farm prices dropped 2
percent. led by a II percent
average decline in crops and fol-
lowed by a / percent drop in
livestock and livestock products.
The decline wiped out more than
two-thirds of the 1850 gains.
Meanwhile, the cost of farm pro-
duction supplies has continued to
mount. At the start of October, costs
were up 10 percent over year ago
and percent over February. The
parity ratio, by which farm pros
perity is measured, dropped from 113
in February to 103 in September. At
start of the Korean war, at the low
point in several years, the parity
ratio was 81.
The downward trend in farm
prices that began in February, as
against rising costs, shows no signs
of an early let-up. Farm economists
figure the trend will continue into
next year, but they express hopes
that the cost-price relationship can
be balanced by then. But, they
admit, the point at which prices and
costs are balanced" may be less fav-
orable to farmers.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-10-15
LIVESTOCK EcoNoMY

Livestock growers and feeders
have. in the opinion of Wash
ington officials. been the fair
haired" boys in the farm price
picture since start Of the war in
Korea. They will get very little
official sympathy. if an when
livestock prices begin TO fall.
Price officials here think that meat
animals are almost certain to sell for
less next year. They point to record
numbers on farms and ranches and
argue that these have to come to
market some time. They think it
will be next year.
Beef cattle slaughter this year is
officially estimated at 100000
head, the smallest number in 8 years.
More breeding stock has been held
back, though Washington disagrees
as to why. OPS pouts and whines
that cattlemen are nasty people who
. hate controls. USDA says meat ami
NAL prices are profitable and that
is why farmers are expanding pro-
duction.
The agriculture department, which
for years has been preaching
livestock economy as the founda-
ton of prosperous agriculture,
ought to be happy, but isn't. It now
confirms our earlier reports that ex-
panding livestock numbers, against
dwindling feed reserves, is cause for
serious concern.
The bureau of agricultural eco
Monies also confirms our forecast
that cattle numbers on farm next
Jan. 1 probably will top 10000, 200
head, exceeding the 1915 record OF
86,0OO,00O head and representing an
increase of more than 100000 head
during 1851

lies entirely with the secretary's of

AS a matter of record, the general

State and local PIMA chairmen also

MARKET RIVALRY

Very little has been said. even
in Washington. but the renewed
rivalry between the United
States and Canada for wheat ex-
port markets is causing consider
able official uneasiness. There
have been number of quiet in
ternational talks on the subject.
The United States, as the result of
an earlier harvest, got the jump on
Canada. Exports from July through
September were at the rate of more
than 100000 bushels month,
some so percent over year ago.
Some Canadians are said to feel that
the United States was attempting to
sshog' the market ahead of the Ca
madam crop.
Indications are that the United
States is shooting for a 12-months
export total of around 4O0,000,000
bushels, to be financed largely
through ECA and Export-Import
bank funds. There is talk, too, that
because of worldwide initiation the
maximum price under the interna-
tional wheat agreement ought to be
increased.

BUG BEATS BoRER?

One of the most amazing farm
science stories in years is being
covered with the lid of official
secrecy. Agriculture department
entomologists believe they have
found way TO beat the corn
borer. perhaps the most destruc-
tive of all crop pests.
Some Is or 80 years ago entomol-
ogists, searching for natural enemy
of the borer, brought in % species of
insects, principally from Europe. But
nothing happened. Then, last year,
the losses from borer damage sud-
denly dropped from $500, 900, 900 to
$1OO,0OO,000. The decline continued
this year.
Searching for an explanation, the
scientists found that one of the para
site flies, of the type imported, lays
a maggot at the entrance of the
borer into the stalk. The maggot fol-
lows the borer and kills it. Large
areas have been found where the
borer kill was 100 percent.

Editors note: The following, written especial

of Jacksonville, Florida who is studying in Israel

Jerusalem, Israel = In 1929, group of II Sab
ras organized themselves for the purpose of form
ing communal settlement. These II came from
Tel Aviv and Herzelia.
The group grew in number. They had their first
training period in Hedera. They worked in the
orange groves there and most of them caught
malaria. They moved to the area of Elm Harold
In 1885 they were joined by group of chalut-
zim from Germany and Holland and came to their
present sight in the Emek Bet Hashita They were
hit during the "Arab Riots" of SO and lost several
men in the fighting. During the past War of Liber-
alton great deal of fighting took place on the
Mountains of Gilboa. Several men from Bet Hash
ita were lost in that fighting and many more
throughout the country. The tool shed was des-
troyed but the rest of the kibbutz received COM
paratively little damage. The close proximity of
the borders gives a rather cramped feeling the
borders are just on the other side of Mt Glboa to
the south and the Jordan to the east.
