the jolt of their lives recently

gresham Crawford, whom
they counted as one staunch

The press 0 fthe Virgin Is

calling for the promotion of
Mr.. Schade to the presidency.
There are a number of indivi-

in this demand.

asking: Will Interior officials

Chinese Communists and for using
Chinese Nationalist troops.
These delegations refused for
days to go along with an American
proposal to call the Chinese Com
munists aggressors until they had
received definite assurances that
the United States Government did
not intend this decision to be the
signal for bombing Manchuria or
using Chinese Nationalist troops.
The Russians were not talking
at this stage, but they have re-
peatedly attacked Gen. Macarthur
and all his policies, both as occu-
patton commander and as Su-
preme commander of the U. N.
in Korea.
A committee of IL Arab and
Asian countries also had been
fearful of an extension of the
war. The Arab and Asians have
resumed conversations trying to
find a settlement of the Chinese
Korean crisis and Gen. MacAr-
thurs custer is certain to spur
these conversations.
The U. N. Good Offices Com
mittee, made up of President
Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, Sven
Grafstrom of Sweden and Luis
Padilla Nervo of Mexico, has been
working since the middle of Feb
ruary trying to get the Chinese
Communists to recognize it. This
committee has had no luck, but
it is expected to make another
effort now that the situation in
the Far East has changed so rad
ically.
Viewed as U. S. Affair.
Mr.. Entezam is away on vaca-
ton, but Mr.. Grafstrom and Mr..
Padilla Nervo are at the U. N.
headquarters.
The official reaction of Security
Council President Daniel j. Won
Ballyscek of the Netherlands and
other delegations was that the
Macarthur affair was a matter for
the Americans and not for any
u. N. decision. There will be no
meeting of the Security Council
or any other organization on this
specific point, but every committee
and organization dealing with the
Chinese crisis is expected to step
up its work in a new effort to avoid
a stalemate in Korea.

to handle the grain crop in Texas and Okla
homa were sent to those states despite ac-
curate data as to the short crops in that
region made available by the department of
agriculture
Another complicating factor in the situ-
alton is the congestion that has developed at
Duluth and Buffalo on the Great Lakes, as
well as on the Pacific coast Many boats
normally available for grain shipments are
being used to transport iron ore The result
is that more grain has to move by rail to
the seaports thus tying up boxcars that
would otherwise be available to the grain
producing territory.
ALLEGATION Of transportation facilities is
an economic problem and the lack of COM
pletely adequate supplies of freight cars
makes it all the more necessary that the
regulating agencies exert every effort to
secure efficient use of the cars that are avail
able. It should not be necessary for pro-
ducers' organizations, grain companies,
chambers of commerce, and Individual
growers to apply political pressure in order
to secure proper attention to Montana's
transportation requirements from the inter-
state commerce commission, the office Of
defense transportation and the other agen-
cies involved in controlling car movements
and territorial ALLEGATIONS But past ex-
perience has demonstrated that until the
backfire Of public indignation develops,
and until congressman make vigorous COM
plants, Montana's needs receive too little

Beef Surplus Appears Unlikely

ton in excess of 15O,O0O,O0O, there were only
80,277 900 head of cattle, of which approxi-
mately 30 percent were dairy animals. In
1915 cattle numbers were at an all-time high
of 86,OOOOOO head In 1916 and 1947 pro-
ducers marketed cattle heavily because of
future uncertainties. By the end of 1947
numbers had been reduced to 100000
head.
Producers then began increasing their
herds and by January, 1851, numbers
totalled about 83,000,O0O. Some observers
are of the opinion that 1854 or 1885 may see
total cattle population of 9O,0O0,00O head.
In the past 25 years beef consumption
per capita in the United States has ranged
from low of 464 pounds per capita to a
high of 691 in 1947.
In the light of these facts about con-
sumner preferences, comparative weights at
which cattle are marketed, per capita con-
sumption, increased numbers of consumers,
and present numbers of cattle compared
with earlier periods, it is difficult to arrive
at the conclusion that cattle numbers, even
if they reach 9O,OOO,O0O head by 1855, will
be excessively large, unless employment and
income drop seriously.
If cattle producers make every effort
to increase the efficiency Of their operations
and keep production costs in line in order
to meet competition of other forms of meat,
and barring severe economic depression,
there should be no serious problem of over
production during the next few years.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-09-01

TESTIFYING before recent hearing
4 conducted by the senate committee on
agriculture, a representative of the depart
ment of agriculture, summarized the chang
ing consumer preference for beef as fol-
lows:
"Now over the years there has been
quite change in the cattle production prac-
tices and consumer preference Today the
housewife wants small cut of beef. She
wants one that does not have too much
outside fat.
@On the cattle production side today,
with the early maturing cattle they come
to market at ages of one to two years
younger than they used to, and are five or
six hundred pounds head lighter.
Il can remember my father in Kansas,
and also my grandfather, would never think
Of shipping cattle until they weighed 1000
or 100 or 1900 pounds, but today these
cattle would never top the market. They
are just too heavy"
Unless the difference in weight per head
between today's cattle and those of previous
periods, as well as differences in population
and eating habits, are considered compare
sons of total numbers of cattle become mean
ingless.
In 1890 with civilian population of just
a little more than one-third what it is
today, (189O census: 62,947,714) there were
more than so OOO, 900 head of cattle on u S.
farms, of which -25 percent, or 100000,
were dairy cattle.
AS Of Jan /, 1850, with civilian popula-
