The wheat carryover is also uncomfort-
ably small for such period Of emergency.
It is estimated that reserves on July 1, 1851,
will total no more than 40O,OO0,0OO bushels.
This is a scant margin over what may be
considered normal carryover of 3OO,00OO0O
in peacetime. But it will be still smaller in
1852 even if production this year totals
billion bushels, and that is becoming increas-
ingly doubtful as the season progresses.
Export demands for wheat are increas-
ing. Total shipments for the year ending
June 3d. 1851, are now estimated at $40 OOO,-
600 bushels India is in desperate need of
food and indications are that congress will
soon approve sending at least million tons
of wheat, and possibly two million tons, to
that country.
Production Of wheat and feed grains has
been abnormally large during the past dec
ade chiefly because of unusually favorable
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-05-15

stock after May 20 while producers wait to
see whether producer and professor pres
sure will cause abandonment of the OPS
plan.
Whatever disruption of the normal flow
of beef to market is caused by this rollback
program, the long-run effect as we have in
dictated will almost certainly be less beef
and, in the end, higher price levels than
would otherwise have been the case
Powerful pressure is building up against
the rollback program All of the livestock
producer associations and most Of the gener-
al farm organizations are strongly opposed
to the ruling. So are the packer and process
sor groups who are convinced that the plan
will cause enormous black markets and con-
sumner rationing. Vigorous opposition has
also been voiced in congress.
The singing out of beef for arbitrary
price reductions contrasted with lack of eff
fective control Of other segments of the
economy seems more like capricious ges-
ture on the part of bewildered officials than
a sound economic procedure. In view of the
storm of opposition that is building up it
seems possible that the order may be recon
sidered. And it is extremely doubtful
whether the July and September rollbacks
will ever be applied.

Phones for Isolated Districts?

receiving station, which would exchange
signals with a similar station located near
the district telephone exchange. REA de-
signers hope the equipment will be devel-
oped so that from the subscribers stand
point, the service would be the same as that
of any other subscriber. The phones could
be the dial type, and the operation entirely
automatic.
Aside from making service available on
an economical basis to groups of presently
isolated rural people, there would be several
operational advantages. There would be no
long stretches of wire to be put out of opera
ton in storms and requiring regular main
tenance And the system could be especially
useful where swamp land, mountains or
heavily wooded areas make conventional
line construction difficult

Grain Supplies Dangerously Low

THERE is reason for concern over the lack
j of reserve supplies Of essential grains in
this critical period when an about defense
program is considered vital to the security
of the United States and its allies.
Defense officials are worried over the
probability of a shortage of feed grains this
year. They know that unless feed is in ade-
quate supply, meat production will be seri-
ously short of requirements of civilian con-
sumers and the armed services.
During the feeding year ending in Sep
TENDER 1850 about 1S2,0OO,O0O tons Of con-
centrates were fed to livestock and II ,OOO,-
600 tons were used for other purposes. The
carryover at the end of that feeding year
was estimated at 81, 100000 tons as compared
with an average prewar carryover of IT,
100000. Our carryover last year was thus
only about 100000 tons more than what
was considered normal before the war.

Rolling Back Beef Prices

WHILE the recent OPS order rolling
back beef prices may be temporarily
pleasing to some consumers it will defeat its
purpose in the long run. The principal rem
edy for high prices, particularly in the ag-
ricultural field, is increased production.
Lower prices arbitrarily fixed will discour-
age such an increase.
The schedule providing for three sepa-
rate rollbacks to become effective May 20,
July %, and September 80 will inevitably
cause producers to rush stock to market to
beat these headlines before the normal feed
ing period has been completed. This in it.
self will rob consumers of millions of pounds
of meat.
The rollback order puts an unfair squeeze
upon producers of feeder cattle as compared
with cornbelt feeders because sharper re-
duction in price is applied to the unfinished
grades.
While the rollback of prices to producers
does not become effective officially until the
dates indicated above, the effect has already
been felt because producers have increased

the important southwestern region this sea
son reminds us that period Of less favor
able production years may be starting.
No one knows what lies ahead in the way
Of crop conditions or the international situa-
ton But there is a sufficient degree of I'M
certainty with respect to both of these
factors to make it extremely important that
the production of grain and other basic food
and feed commodities be maintained at the
highest possible level.

Protests Fail 10 Ban
Dances and Bingo al
Brentwood Legion Hall

Bingo parties and teen-age
dances will be permitted to con-
tinue in the Brentwood (Md)
American Legion Post Hall 225,
while the Mayor and town council.
with the aid of the police, try to
determine whether the activities
are disturbing the peace.
If so. the board believes the de-
fendant groups should be given a
chance to correct the situation,
before any action is taken.
About a dozen of the residents
in the immediate vicinity of the
hall left no doubt about how they
feel, when they appeared at a
stormy hearing last night. They
brought with them a petition
signed by 20 citizens. complaining
that the non-Legion groups are
a nuisance to the residential COM
Imunity.
The Legion is renting the hall,
at Thirty-eighth and Varnum
streets, to the Women's auxiliary
of the Brentwood Voluntary Fire
Department for bingo games every
Monday night and a teen-agers'
social club every Friday night.
The petition stated that, after
the bingo parties. some of the
players gather on the corner
of Thirty-seventh and Varnum
streets and talk loudly while
waiting for the bus.
The teen-agers, the petitions
charged, throw beer bottles and
waste paper in the yards and
drive their cars recklessly around
the streets. Both groups. it was
said, often park so carelessly that
residents cannot get in or out of
their driveways.
Finally. the petition charged,
the area is zoned residential and
the hall should never have been
erected in the first place.
OF the 100 people who signed
a contemplation. more than so
were present in the small council
room to defend their rights to
meet in the hall. They contended
that any loud talking or improper
parking is police matter. They
also charged that the beer bottles
and waste paper are thrown in
the yards by gang of boys from
Brookland, in the District, and
not from Brentwood.
Mayor James L. Russell called
police Chief Lawrence G. Miller
to report on conditions in and
around the building. Chief Miller
said that. in the last four weeks,
a plainclothes officer has been at
the hall when the teen-agers were
there and that he saw to it that
they left the building in order by
II pm.
Chief Miller said the young
people should have a place like
that to meet, because it reduces
juvenile delinquency. He added
that the sharp decline in the
areas delinquency was due largely
