Will Heavy Demand Continue

an adequate market for the long term is
gratifying but the possibility of rather sharp
adjustments during the years that lie more
Immediately ahead is naturally disturbing.
The sag in hog prices in recent months has
been reminder Of what may eventually
happen with other commodities. Hog pro-
ducers have reacted to the lower markets by
reducing production and price recovery
appears likely later on this season. And it
appears unlikely that there will be any
widespread drop in agricultural prices this
year. So for the present, full production
seems to be the wise policy for most farmers
and stockgrowers to follow.
Prudent operators will always strive to
maintain the greatest possible efficiency
and to take full advantage of mechanical
production, agricultural chemicals and time
" operation to keep production costs down.
There may be no serious surplus problems
ahead. Heavy demand may continue indefi-
nitely and less favorable growing conditions
during the next few years might lower the
output of Americas farms. But whatever
the future holds, the operator who strives
increasingly to produce efficiently and eco
nomically will be in the strongest position.

practical inventors and by farmers who
first developed the crude implements and
equipment that were later perfected and
manufactured in quantity in the machine
shops and factories.
Research whether carried on by indi-
viduals, by industrial concerns or by pub

XTHILE the rapid increase in population
w in this country and throughout the
world seems to guarantee an outlet for all
that agriculture can produce in the long-run
future many farmers are concerned whether
there will be profitable markets for all they
can produce during the next few years. They
know there are hungry people throughout
the world who will be glad to consume all
the food they can get But will this never
ending demand be coupled with ability to
pay a price that will be above cost Of
production?
Here in Montana and throughout the
United States there has been a great in
crease in production of livestock and grain,
as well as many other crops during the past
decade. This production has been absorbed
at good prices partly because Of the increas-
ing population but more largely because of
the unusual demand for our armed forces
and for foreign relief. High incomes of in
dustrial workers has also played an impor-
tant part particularly in the case of meat.
But farmers and livestock growers are
wondering what will happen if defense
activity subsidies, if there is a reduction in
the subsidized export demand and if mod
Grating industrial activity results in a low

of income.
Under the law the producer who has no
income can secure no tax relief. This seems
like an inequitable provision and one that
merits the attention of the lawmakers in
congress. Unless there is an early change
in the law some farmers and others in flood
areas of the Missouri basin and elsewhere
will be at serious disadvantage. It is like
adding insult to serious injury to bar a pro-

clearly in mind is that this deduction must
be taken on the income tax return for the

of it can be carried forward to following

capital assets.
This requirement that casualty losses

Fertilizer supplies have been short of de-
mand for several years but this situation is
being improved steadily. USDA estimates
that by 1855 nitrogen production capacity
will be 20 percent higher than in 1851,
phosphates SIS percent higher and potash 81
percent higher. This rapid expansion has
been due in considerable measure to the fact
that the increases in fertilizer capacity have
been recognized as defense production goals
The essential priorities for construction have
been made available.
This is critical season for feed supplies
in Montana and Wyoming, as well as ma
tonally. Larger livestock populations
coupled with severe winter conditions in
some places have depleted reserve stocks
Of hay and feed grains. Many farmers and
ranchers will make feed production their
top project this year.

Churchill Leaves
For USA Today

OTTAWA Up - Britain's Prime
Minister Winston Churchill leaves
for Washington today after declar
ing that the West will stand
shoulder to shoulder against
aggression should our hopes of
peace be blasted"
Churchill is primed to deliver
a tough talking address-his
second in three days-before a
joint session of Congress Thursday.
1t will wind up his visit to Canada
and the United States.
Churchill ended his weekend of
conferences with Canadian govern
ment leaders Monday night with a
speech which hailed the 12-nation
Atlantic alliance as the Vests
surest guarantee" of peace.
Speaking at a lake trout and
roast beef dinner given in his honor
by the Canadian government, he
declared:
mo one can predict with GER
tainty what will happen.
"All can see for themselves the
strange clouds that move and
gather on the horizons, sometimes
so full of menace and sometimes
fading away"
Peace does not sit untroubied
in her vineyard" he added, with
typical Churchillian flourish.
But this time, he said, in con-
trast to the days of Hitler, the
key Western nations already have
started to mobilize their vast eco
nomic and military strength.
"We are all united from the be-
ginning" he said. 1--WE all mean
to stand by each other, here in
Canada, in the U. S., in Britain,
in Western Europe"
With the help of an all-EurOpean
army b0lStered by German units,
he said, I'VE stand with the United
States, ready under the supreme
NATO North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization) commander to face
whatever aggression may fall upon
US"
The Atlantic Treaty, he de-
clared, ''is the surest guarantee
not only of the prevention of war,
but of victory, should our hopes
be blasted"
The T-year-old British leader,
because of bad weather, cancelled
plans to fly back to Washington
this morning. Instead, he planned
to leave by train, arriving in the
capital about noon Wednesday.
