Mrs. Bessie 3. Russell has
shown her pictures of South and
Central America to MANY
groups, both large and small.
throughout this area, but re-
Gently had her smallest = but
by no means least appreciative
- audience for. a showing of
the travelogue.
While in Huntley to show the
pictures to a group of women,
she learned of the plight of
Earl Mead, an invalid, and took
her picture equipment to his
home to present her picture
tour of the south. ?
Mr.. Mead, who has been bed
ridden for many years following
injuries received in an automo-
bile accident, is honorary may
or of Huntley, a ham radio
operator and has had national
publicity concerning his "dog-
catchers" club. Among his ahon-
orary dog catcherS of Huntley''
are such famous personalities
as movie and radio comedian
Bob Hope and mayors of a
number of the larger cities of
the United States. eE
For those who enjoy beauti-
full scenery pictures and inter
esting observations on life and
culture in South and Central
America, Mrs. RussellS collec-
ton is tops.
The dime isn't entirely worth
less. 1t makes a fairly good
ScreWdriver. -
While the cost of many items
is rising, the Big Horn county
librarian announces that
henceforth all new fiction books
at the library will not be placed
on the rental shelf and may
now be borrowed free of charge.
Some new fiction books had
been available at the library
by rental only, but that policy
has now been discontinued.
Some startling figures, pre-
pared by the National Small
Business Mems association,
showing the growth in peace
time spending of a few depart
ments of the federal govern
ment have recently been pub
liShd.
Department of Commerce,
1O49 per cent; Department of
Interior, sos per cent; Depart
ment of Labor, 1888 per cent;
Department of Justice, 158 per
cent; State Department, 1884
per cent, and Independent Of
ficeS, 176 per cent.
Seems to us a little federal
spending control would do much
more good than trying to con-
troll prices.
If anyone is still interested,
here is another comparison Dug
out of statistical information:
During the II years between
1921 and 1888 citizens lost two
billion dollars from bank clos
ingS; during the nine years be-
tween 1941 and 1850, citizens
lost 116 billion dollars from in.

According to a recent news
release, President Truman is
highly concerned to the point
of being angry about the ac-
tivitieS of some administration
officials which were exposed by
a house ways and means Sub
committee Investigating lax
scandals.
He's "to the point of being
angryl" If things get bad
enough he may write somebody
a nasty letter.

THE LULL in the battle over beef
cattle ceilings will be broken in
few days when congress decides
what to do about extending the de-
tense production act scheduled to
expire on June 80. The big issue will
be the price rollbacks scheduled for
Aug. and Oct. l.
Whether if is a new law or
just a temporary extension of
the present law. cattlemen will
battle to kill OPS authority for
further rollbaclks. They already
have made a strong case against
the rolIbaclxs. but it isn't known
yet how many congressman they
convinced.
There is very little chance that
the new DPA will get through con-
gress by the end Of this month. Most
observers here believe debate over
controls will last through most of
July. Intentions now are to ask for
a 60 or 90-day extension of the pres
ent act.
Cattlemen, backed by most of the
big farm organizations, will fight to
block extension unless it contains a
provision specifically prohibiting
further rollbacks on beef cattle
prices. Prospects of their getting
such a provision now look good, but
the administration is determined to
oppose it right down to the final
vote.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-06-15
BEEF BATTLE HOT

The beef battle has been one of
the hottest in years. II has been
marked by charges of bad faith
and double-crossing. Some Of
the charges appear TO observers
here to be justified.
Price Administrator Disable is ac-
cused by cattlemen with breaking
a promise that there would be no roll
back of prices. Meat control officials
in OPS told newsmen a week prior
to the order that no rollback was
planned.
Inside story, however, is that Di-
Sale changed his mind almost at the
last minute Packers convinced him
they needed a rollback to January
freeze level on beef to make up for
higher live animal prices. Neither
packers nor OPS has issued any fig
ures, however, to justify the so per
cent increase in packers take" out
of live animal prices.
Disable reasoned that if he gave
the packers an increase and didn't
promise consumers anything he
would have both producers and con-
sumers on his neck. So he promised
lower prices to consumers for later
this year. He reasoned that congress
probably would reverse his order and
that consumers would blame con-
gress instead of OPS.
Agriculture Secretary Brannan
argued with Disable against the fu-
ture rollbacls, but when the argu-
ment was taken to the White House,
President Truman backed Disable.
Brannan then was forced to go to
congress and defend an order which
he had told Disable was completely
unjustified

The agriculture department.
bowling TO pressure from the
state department and ECA. has
consented to schedule grain ex-
ports at 4O.000.OOO bushels a
month for the fiscal year starting
July l. They are. however. un-
easy about committing that much
grain for sale or as gifts abroad.
Grain officials point out that ex-
ports of that size will whittle U. S.
reserves of wheat to under 100000
600 bushels before the 1852 crop is
harvested. In the past they have in
sisted that reductions below 450, 0O0,-
600 bushels would leave this country
in danger of shortage should we
have only one bad crop year.
An equally serious threat is pre-
scented by feed grains. Consumption
of feed grains this year will exceed
1850 production by from 10O,0O0,O00
to 200,00O,0O0 bushels. Unless this
years corn and other feed grain pro-
duction is exceptionally large, feed
reserves next spring will be the low
est in many years.

Cuts also are planned for agricul-
turaI chemicals going into fertilizer

ment, against USDA protests, has al
located $4,000 tons of scarce sui
phur for export this year. The re-
suit, say USDA officials, will be a
reduced supply of fertilizer and
shortage of some insecticides next

HIGHER COILS IN 81


The big reason why USDA
fears a cut in farm production
supplies is that such cut would
seriously upset their plans TO
ask for another year of record
food production in 1852. Farm
ers can't meet high production
goals if they are short of ma
chinery. labor and fertilizer.
Department planners are working
on 1852 production goals earlier than
usual. They want 1852 wheat acre
age of approximately 100000 acres
and they want more corn and other
feed grains. They will ask livestock
producers to keep their 1852 sched-
ules at least as high as this year.
Some officials, however, are not
optimistic that big goals can be
reached if OPS continues to squeeze
farmers on prices and defense Of
ficials take away a sizeable portion
of their production supplies. Some
of them are becoming pretty dis
couraged.

LABOR SHORTAGE LOOMS

LABOR SHORTAGE LOOMS
The shortage of farm labor for
the fall harvest may be more
severe than had been expected.
Congress still is arguing over
passage of a bill which would
open the way for importation Of
100000 or more Mexican work
ers.
At the same time farmers will need
help most, plants with defense con-
tracts will be making drive for
additional employees. They viii offer
workers higher wages and undoubt-
eddy many will 60 to cities. Some
estimates place the number as high
as $4,000.
Agriculture department officials
estimate that there will be some
100000 to 100000 fewer workers
available for work on farms this fall
than last.
