Song Of The Lazy Farmer

be done, she figures that she
naust, some way, complete a
months work all today. The
woodbox may be short one stick
but even so she wants it quick,
speck of dirt can hardly land
before a mop is in her hand, the
level in the cookie jar is not
allowed to drop too far; when
ever her days work is thru, she
tries to do tonorrow's too.
Of course, that strange philoso-
ply makes not a bit of sense to
me; you can't do ev'rything to-
day, it just don't work out quite
that way. You never really get
ahead, you just invent more work
instead; no matter how hard you
might try, you just can't get all
set to die, and if you work too
hard each day you'll shorten your
life anyway. What's wrong with
loafin' now and then, it gives you
extra pep for when there's work
that simply must be done; be-
sides, find it's lots of fun. There
amt a chore I have to do but
what can wait day or two; of all
the language I have heard, ITO
morrow is the finest word.

our mountain areas. Consequently,
agriculture is carried on high up the
mountain sides where we would not
think of trying to farm.
We have all heard the joke about
the farmer who fell out of his corn
field, but at Trabzon I saw farmers
hoeing corn with rope around their
waists securely tied to a tree at the
edge of the field. Actually, corn is
cultivated in this area on slopes that
approach the perpendicular.

Turkish Farmers Seek American KnOW-hOw
By M Hanseer Soil Specialist

Furthermore, 80 percent of the
population are farmers. With so
many people farming small acreages
of poor land, it is obvious that large
percentage of the population is not
growing food enough for themselves,
let alone adding anything to the ma.
tional supply.
The country is unbelievably noun
famous and I am sure that the per-
centage of good land in Turkey is
less than it is in Montana despite

they come up, shake hands, look you
in the eye, and say, welcome" and
mean it.
Perhaps the best description of
the Turkish farmer that I have heard
was given by one of the % young
men from this country now studying
agriculture in the United States. In
discussing Turkish agriculture before
a group of men in Washington, D. c.,
he said:
'I want to tell the important, out
standing characteristics of the Tur-
kish farmer. The first, without ex-
ception, all farmers are very hos
pitable. When you go to their houses
they offer all they have-either poor
or rich. Second, they are very hon
est. Third, they are very religious.
Fourth, they are endurable. Fifth,
they are very faithful, and sixth,
they are very sympathetic"
Eager TO Improve
We have found that the Turkish
farmers has an almost fanatical adj
miration for the United States. This
is true of the city people as well,
but, of course, we have noticed it
more among the farm people. Where
ever we have gone they have been
so anxious to know how they could
improve their agricultural methods
and practices and to learn how
things are done in the United States.
Nearly all farmers live in villages.
This means many of them must go
some distance to work their land.
Furthermore, some farmers may own
several fields at some distance from
each other. 1t is customary to go
out very early in the morning and
return at dark. During the harvest
we saw farmers in the fields at 4
a. m. hauling in wheat to be threshed
Shortage of Land
The Turkish farmer is seriously
handicapped by shortage of land
Turkey is an area twice the size o.
Montana, but has 100000 people
compared with our 100000.

OUR GROUP WAS invited by the
Turkish government to help improve
agricultural practices and increase
agricultural production in Turkey.
AS you know, the Marshall plan has
been sending tanks, ships, guns and
other instruments of war pretty well
over the globe. 1t is heartening to
see agricultural development rec
ognized as an instrument of peace,
and to see trucks, tractors and other
farm machinery, with the Marshall
plan emblem, scattered here and
there in Europe and Asia.
Our group is drawn from the great
plains area, and is headed by Elmer
Starch, who is known to many Mon
tanans. The group includes spe-
cialists in farm machinery, cotton,
economics, corn, extension, livestock
and soils. Mr.. Starch is assisting
with the organization and co-ordina-
ton of the entire department of
agriculture.
The colleges and the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture loaned us to in
ternational work in the interests of
international understanding.
None of us had ever been to Tur-
key before and 1 am sure that all of
us had our own ideas of what to
expect. am just as sure that we
were all surprised when we found
the people here looked for all the
world like those in Great Falls,
Plentywood or Chicago. Later, as
we got to some of the villages, we
found that habits of dress varied
considerably but nevertheless, the
people are pretty much the same
all over Turkey.
Much Like Montana Farmers
We were very much impressed
when we had an opportunity shortly
after arriving here to visit severa
villages and become acquainted with
some of the Turkish farmers. Ac
tually, they are much like Montan;
farmers. When you visit village

Caution Grips Traders
As Stock Market Ends
Third Declining Week
By Roder Wineet
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, May 26.-A broad
streak of caution tinged Wall
Street bearishness today as the
stock market ended its third de-
clining week.
Bearishness is the product OF
accumulated developments that
Wall Street believes will unsettle
the Nations economy - Korea,
Iran. taxes, Government controls,
material shortages.
Caution comes from the fact
that the stock market is in q
so-called critical area from which
Hcould move strongly either way,
and from signs in several basic
industries that business is better
than 1t seems.
"A new high for this year was
established May 3 with the Asso-
ciated Press average of go stocks
at $97.80. Today that average
was $1,000, only slightly above the
years low of $89.40.
Average Edges Upward.
Today the average edged up a
dime, the second consecutive adj
vance. Only once before in the
past three weeks has it gone up
twice in a row.
Neither today nor yesterday was
there any particular buying surge
that would match on the upside
the power shown by selling pres
sure in declining markets.
The Eastern seaboard gasoline
price wars depressed interest in
oil shares when the big companies
started reducing tank wagon
prices.
Plant closings because Of ma
terials shortages caused surprise
although warnings of such eventu-
alities have been frequent. They
hit such fields as automobiles, rub
Der manufacturers, household ap-
planes, and motor accessories.
A continued tagging in depart
ment store sales and wage in
creases brought on by the rise in
the cost of living. and the esti-
mated $97 million year wage

Capital Store Sales Drop.
Washington department store
sales in the week ended May 10
dropped IA per cent below the
previous week. but held 3 per cent
above the like 1850 week, the Fed
Ieral Reserve Bank of Richmond
reported yesterday. Sales in four
weeks ended the same date were
only one per cent above a year
earlier.
The small year-to-year gain for
the latest week was a slight i'm
provement from April when the
months sales were 8 per cent be-
hind a year earlier.
Sales in four months of this year
showed II per cent increase from
Ia year earlier.
Banks Back Loan Curb.
The Washington Clearing House,
which includes all 10 banks and
trust companies in the Capital,
last night announced that mem
bers had pledged their full support
for the Nation wide voluntary
credit restraint program.
A resolution signed by all mem
Der institutions is published in
large advertisements appearing in
Washington newspapers today.
It recited the purpose of the
program sponsored by the Fed

Personnel Director
Submits Pay Plan to
Cost $4,000

Ullmont L. James, Director
Of Personnel recently submit
ted to the Governor and the
Municipal Councils a revised
pay plan which would cost the
municipalities $188,000. Saint
Croix's share would be $50 900.
Mr.. James pointed out that
the Municipalities are operat-
ing On a 1851 pay scale that
was a marginal adjustment in
l947. He suggested a joint
meeting on his proposal to see
what we can do. The Director
said that while all the funds
may not be available for the
total cost in all budgets he is
convinced that something can
be done.
Substantial increases a r e
suggested for employees in
many categories. A policeman
of Clerk /, would receive a
minimum of $500. a month, a
teacher who is a high school
graduate would get a begin
ming salary Of 500 a month,
while one with a masters de-
gree would get from $2,760 to
$3.50 annually. A nurse
would get a beginning salary
Of $1,000 a year. Under the
plan the minimum salary in
the budget would be $720.
Mr.. James points to the fact
that since the fall Of 1949 the
United States Congress has
given all federal employees
four salary adjustments; the
basic reason for each adjust
ment being the increasing
cost of living in the United
States is the same malady and
to the same extent which is
now obvious in the Virgin Is
lands. He questioned if we can
be content to pay our employ
ees on a 1947 wage scale.
