required at prices which, in relationship to
prices of farm products, would encourage
their full use. The committee agrees that
"cost-price relationships would have to be
favorable generally in order to encourage
farmers to make the extra effort and to incur
the higher costs and the additional risks
that are required in high-level production"
Individual farmers and ranchers may
find it both interesting and informative to
study their own situation and determine
about what would be required in changing
present methods and practices, and adding
to present equipment, and use Of agricul-
tural chemicals and other supplies, in order
to achieve one-fifth increase in average
production. In numerous individual cases it
might be impossible to secure such produc-
ton increase on profitable basis, assuming
average weather and growing conditions. In
other instances such goal might be fully
attainable with corresponding increase in
income.
Anyhow it will be interesting to estimate
what you would have to do on your place
to step-up your production that much-and
what conditions of price-cost relationship
and other factors would have to prevail to
make such expansion profitable.

Can You Up Production a Fifth?

OWEN average weather and favorable
~ demand and cost-price relationships
farmers and ranchers of the United States
could produce by 1855 one-fifth more both
of crops and livestock than in 1850. That is
the conclusion of a USDA committee that
has just completed a nationwide productive
capacity study. It is not forecast Of what
producers will do in the next few years but
is an estimate of what they could do if eco
nomic conditions were favorable and if they
went full speed ahead.
The committee suggests that most Of the
increase would be made possible by wider
adoption of improved farming practices, and
from greater use of fertilizer and machinery.
Labor supply and land requirements would
remain at about 1851 levels. The produc-
tivity increase would provide for higher
level diet through more emphasis on live
stock and livestock products Total produc-
ton of meat, including poultry, would in
crease from 178 pounds per capita in 1851 to
1919 pounds per capita for the population
expected by 1855.
Production costs would be an important
factor in achieving the suggested 1855 levels.
More machines and other equipment, and
greater quantities Of fertilizer, pesticides
and other chemicals and supplies would be

Tribute to Grass

GONE years ago we reproduced on this
- page the oft-quoted Tribute to Grass"
written by Sen. John ingalls, of Kansas in
1872. A reader has asked us to send him
a copy of this little essay which appeared
originally as part of an address delivered
by ingalls,, who was one of the gifted speak
ers of his day.
Since grass is coming in for lot of atten-
ton now as the most essential factor in
maintaining the greatly increased livestock
population, it may be that others will be
interested and perhaps inspired to new eff
forts in grass conservation by reading once
more this gem which seems assured of an
everlasting place in the literature Of agri-
culture So here it is:
@Next in importance to the divine profu-
sion Of water, light and air, those three phys
zeal facts which render existence possible,
may be reckoned the universal beneficence
of grass. Lying there in the sunshine,

quality, the higher the price you must offer.
And the better your own COW herd is, the
higher you must go in bull quality to main
tain the progress you have made
a number of other factors have come
into the bull valuation picture that were not
SO evident 10 years ago. One is the increased
baloney value of the old bulls. Another is
the federal income tax. When everything
is taken into consideration, the actual and
final cost of bull to the cattleman is often
but fraction of the price entered on the
sale record.
More than ever before, "a good bull is an
investment, a poor one bill Of expense"

of mountains, and modifies the history,
character and destiny Of nations.
"Unobtrusive and patient, it has immor-
tai vigor and aggression Banished from the
thoroughfares and fields, it bides its time to
return, and when vigilance is relaxed, it
silently resumes the throne from which it
has been expelled but which it never abdi-
Gates. It bears no bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but its homely
hue is more enchanting than the lily or the
rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, yet
should its harvest fail for single year, fam
Inc would depopulate the world"

How Much for a Range Bull?

Low MUCH should good range bull
IL cost? Perhaps 10000 Montana-Wyo-
ming ranchers would like 10 have an answer
to that question this fall. There have been
a dozen pat ones passed to them in the sales
rings and in the pasture lots, like, ''it's not
what bull costs, but what he is worth to
you," or about what three two-year-old
steers or 10 calves would bring" or even
fall that we can get out of him"
But as buyer you are interested in get
ting the best bull for just. as little as you
have to pay.
Bulls, like meat itself, are on a COMPETE
tive market and the further you go up in

Even blind man can see that price and
probably wage controls will be on the way
out after the election, no matter which party
wins, unless another serious war threat oc-
ours. Supports rather than ceilings will re-
ceive congressional attention. And we hear
that the production payment idea still has
lot Of vitality. Many congressional leaders
think it is the most practical way to handle
supports, particularly for perishables. But
there is still lot of farmer opposition 1t

Major soil conservation problems listed
in the annual report of Rosebud county
conservation district include surface and
subsurface drainage, improper use of irriga-
ton water, inefficient range management,
control of weeds, loss of fertility and filth
on irrigated land farmed heavily to cash
crops, development Of adequate feed base
for livestock, lack of sufficient livestock on
irrigated farms, and need for early spring
pasture for ranchers
Agriculture faces tremendous job in
the next % years. Our population is now
growing at the rate of 21a million a year,
and the census bureau estimates that by
1878, under moderately favorable conditions
it will reach 100 million. If we continue to
COuSULl1G 1OOO dIlQ 1lDGI at our CURRENT Ial6,
we will need the equivalent of an additional
lis million acres of cropland, assuming
yields per acre continue at about 1850
levels. DR.. Byron T. Shaw, Administrator
Agricultural Research Administration.
While synthetic fibers fulfill numerous
useful functions and are establishing mar
kets according to their service values it is
now generally recognized that they will not
replace wool for the many essential uses
for which woods exclusive properties are
adapted. The worlds increasing population
will assure continuance of and probably
an increase in consumer demand for wool.
Look moi sorrowfulIy into the past; it
comes not back again Wisely improve the
present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the
future with manly heart Henry w.

WHERE DO WE GO
FROM HERE?
By Ruth Taylor

Now It Is all over. We, the
people of the United States of
America, have made our choice.
We have, in democratic, free
elections, selected those whom we
wish to run our government. The
will Of the majority has prevailed.
Where do we go from here
We sometimes talk of govern
ment being merely a big corpora
ton with Us as its stockholders.
We say complacently that we
choose men for office on the same
basis as a company hiring exeeu-
tives. don't like that analogy.
don't like the "hired hand" So
briquet. Besides. votes at a
stockholders meeting are de-
termined by a number of shares
of stock, not the number of stock
holders.
| like to think of our elections
as a modern version of the way
they chose militia captains on
the frontier. Defense, then as
now, was mutual problem. The
men of fighting age selected as
captain that one of their neigh
bors who they thought could make
the best decisions in an emer-
gency, who could plan ahead, who
could fight hard :. and take the
fewest risks with the lives of
his men. Once they had made
their choice, they might argue
with their captain, but they fol-
lowed his orders.
Did your candidate get elected ?
Now don't go feeling big and
throwing your weight around.
This wasn't a contest. 1t was
an election. You wanted your man
in because you thought he was q
good man for the work to ba
done. So don't let up on your
end of the task. Don't expect
or demand favors. II you think
he is getting off the track, write

Did your candidate get defeat

the democratic system Is that
there is always another election.
And the majority won. Maybe it
was because your side didn't work

you TO show what stuff you are
