Maine 0uads' Parent
Form Guardianship
For Thriving Infants
By the A.soe;o,.d Pres.


| PORTLAND. Me-, July 9.-The
Pinkham quadruplets may grow
up away from their parents rural
two-room cottage.
! A guardianship, proposed by the
2-day-old babies mother and
father, will have housing and care
to think of as well as business
that may come the quads' way by
virtue of their fourfold birth.
Home Unimproved.
There was no immediate an
nouncement of where the new son
and three daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. Silas Pinkham will be taken
on discharge, probably two weeks
hence. from Osteopathic Hospital.
The Pinkham home in Standish
has no running water Or cleo
tricity.
Charles A. Pomeroy, lawyer for
the Pinkhams, said the 45-year-
old carpenter and his wife Eliza
beth, IS, chose as guardians the
babies maternal grandfather,
Harold Eaton of Portland; DR..
Stanley Rowe. family physician,
and Albert E. Libby, vice president
of the Casco Bank & Trust Co.
Fear COmmercializing.
Mr.. Pomeroy said the Pinkhams
obviously want to do what is
right" for the quadruplets. The
lawyer said the parents have had
reports of offers to help, and fear
the youngsters might be over
commercialized.
Meanwhile. the quads- William
Rebecca, Melissa and Jane-con-
tinued to thrive in a hospital room
near that of their mother, who is
expected to be discharged in a
few days.

the NOW, and if he has a heavy
yield he bales some up right in
the field; he's even planning now
to try a scheme for getting his
hay dry, when sunshine isn't good
enough, by blowing hot air thru
the stuff; and then he'll sit with
out pain while my hay lays out
in the rain.
OF course with neighbor I
agree when he declares that there
must be a better way of making
hay than farmers used in Grand

makes me smile cause mine beats

as can be to get my hay into the
barn or stack and still avoid an
aching back. But while he's

Farm Land Prices
Population GrO1Vtb viii Alaintaiu
Long-T ERIN Land Values, Demand
By GILBERT GUSLER

since that warning was given. Those
who ignored it have won hand
somely.
The drop in farm product prices
in 1913 and 1949 caused a temporary
dip in farm land prices. The agri-
culture departments index of farm
real estate value per acre fell from
TT in November 1948 to 1863 in No
vember, 1949 But when product
prices began to recover and net re-
turns remained above mortgage in
terest rates and above returns on
most alternative investments, land
prices firmed up again and, after
Korea, they advanced sharply over
the 1913 peak.
Likely TO Level Off
It seems likely to this observer
that the rise viii soon level off and
may be followed by a moderate de-
cline within the next few years. A
drastic drop seems unlikely.
That conclusion is based, impor-
family, on the view that there will
be no World war for several years
at least. Like it or not, it should be
recognized that these boom times
have been due IN great measure to
war and war preparedness. While
the cold war is most likely to con-
tinue, war as an influence in mar
kets for farm products seems likely
to be of decreasing rather than in
creasing prominence after defense is
over the hump next year.
If a general war should break out,
of course, prices for farm products
would again press upward IN spite
of all controls and prices for farm
land would be likely to go still
higher.
Barring new war, further infIa-
tionary rise in general commodity
prices seems likely to be small In.
stead, the trend may be slightly
downward. With industrial capacity
greatly expanded, the outpouring Of
civilian goods can be huge IN spite
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1952-06-01

of defense requirements. Agricu1-
tural production will be heavy, I'M
less drouth years return.
Severe DefIation Unlikely
On the other hand, severe della
ton is unlikely. Defense spending
probably will continue heavy for
several years after the peak is passed.
Unions will try to push up wage rates
faster than productivity rises, which
will tend to raise production costs
of industrial goods.
The government and the majority
of the people probably are more con-
cerned about deflation, depression
and unemployment than about infla-
ton, so that inflationary counter
measures probably will be UNDER
taken if serious defIationary tenden-
cies developed. With our money no
longer redeemable in gold, money
and credit are not likely to be used
to force down prices and incomes.
Even if a further moderate rise
should occur in prices for industrial
commodities due to increasing wage
costs, the general level of prices for
farm products seems unlikely to rise
above recent top levels in the next
few years unless the shooting war
spreads. Population will increase at
the rate of l to IL percent a year
and per capita consumption of farm
products probably will continue on
the higher level established in the
last few years. But productivity in
agriculture probably will continue
to rise from application of improved
techniques. Decline in the horse and
mule population will permit in
creased production for human use.
Exports Will Decline
Agricultural exports probably will
decline due to increased production
abroad and some curtailment of for
eign aid. The high level of exports
in the last few years was maintained
in large measure by loans and gifts,
On balance, the net effect seems
likely to be little greater abund-
ance of agricultural commodities II
relation to demand IN the next few
years than in the last several years
Hence, the general level of prices Of
farm products probably viii not
continue to rise. But it is not likely
to undergo very drastic decline
Supplies are not likely to become
very burdensome and government

Farm real estate prices have advanced
over $50 percent since 1910. but may
soon begin to level off.
supports undoubtedly will be con-
tinued, although, under present laws,
some of the supports will be lower
next year.
This view may prove to be too
pessimistic, of course. Growth Of
population and high consumer in
comes might increase domestic de-
mand for farm products in the next
few years faster than the supply will
increase, particularly if weather
should be less favorable than in the
last few years.
Costs May Rise
Costs of farming are likely to aver
age higher relative to prices of farm
products than in the last few years.
Farm taxes and interest charges
probably will increase and prices Of
many industrial goods and urban
services farmers use probably will
continue at high levels. Some costs
may decline if farm prices average
lower. After defense jobs taper off in
another year or so, farm labor may
become little less costly.
With farm costs likely to absorb
an increased share of gross farm in
come, net incomes of farm operator
probably will average moderately
lower than in the last few years
. Allowing for the value of farmers
labor and management, earnings OF
farm investments are likely to b.
lower.
While average earnings on farm
real estate in 1851 were estimated BIZ
the department of agriculture al
slightly over s percent, they prob.
ably will be appreciably lower il
1852. Dollar earnings per acre are
likely to be lower and market values
Of farm land are about 10 percent
higher. The rate of earnings on the
new valuations may be around s.:
percent.
Earnings Exceed Interest Rates
That will still be slightly abov,
interest rates on farm mortgage
which averaged about AT percent il
1851. Over the last 40 years, ne
earnings of farm land, figured o.
market values in each year, hav
averaged slightly higher than mort
gage interest rates. In. more than hal
Of those years, however, net earn
ings were below mortgage interes
rates.
One may conclude that farm Ian
prices are not yet out of line wit
current earnings, but there appear
to be little left to discount. Henc,
leveling off of the rise seems nc
unlikely and, if earnings declin
moderately, land prices also might 6
somewhat lower.

that this observer always approaches
with fear and trembling" First, it
calls for long-run view where Wis
Utility is low. Second, it involves
such big questions as peace or war,
initiation or deflation, tax and debt
policies of the government, foreign
aid programs, future farm programs,
rate of population growth, and the
rate at which farm earnings will be
capitalized mainly outside the farm
field. Third, serious errors of judg-
ment as to the trend of land prices
are extremely costly.
Any reader can do as little

proposed to do If she were allowed
to attend the Methodist church with
her playmate. please let me go"
she pleaded. "Pll promise not to be-
ieve a word the preacher says"
Farm land prices have now
reached extremely high levels. The
U. S. department of agriculture's in
dex of farm real estate values per
acre, shown on the accompanying
chart (annually for 1924 and three
times a year starting in 1942), was
about 212 last March compared with
"a in 1910 and 10 at the peak of the
World war initiation. In the last
two years, it advanced about Is per-
cent.
$65 Average
The 1850 census showed the aver
age value of farm land and build
ings at $65.45 an acre compared with
$31.71 in 1910, a rise somewhat
greater than was indicated for that
period by the departments index.
Allowing for the further rise shown
by the departments index IN the last
two years, current values would
average about $50 an acre, an in
crease of 1853 percent over the 1910
level. Only a minor part of the in
crease can be attributed to improve
ments in buildings, drainage and
other features of the farm plant.
The rise in value reflects mainly
the marked Increase in net earn
ings from farm land. Net returns
from farm real estate in 1910 were
about SIS percent on 1910 valuations
and slightly under percent in 1856
on valuations in that year, according
to agricultural department estimates
If we apply those rates to tht
census reports of value per acre
they would mean average net re
turns of about sta an acre in 1914
and nearly $3.50 in 1850. Values pc
acre went up about "A percent il
1851 and net returns on the nev
value fell to a little over perceni
so that returns averaged Slight.

Membership doubled between

led. Note: From DR.. Arthur
Ruppin's Introduction to THE
Jews in the Modern Worldly
A few years ago a Japanese
diplomat asked a German states
man to recommend to him pro-
lessor of anti-Semitism. Being
told that there was no such Chair
in the University-"What!" ex-
claimed the Japanese, you talk
anti-Semitism day and night,
and have no one to teach it,"
'"But anyhow, what do you
need it for?" asked the German.
"You have no Jews"
mo, we haven't" was the re-
ply, "but we hear that they are
coming, and so we. want to be
prepared"
Presumably the japanese dip
lomat desired to obtain accurate
information concerning a people
whom he heard described as
dangerous and unpleasant; and
we Jews can wish that many
anti-Semites or potential anti
Semites should share his desire
:. We have a right to demand
that civilized people honestly
try to acquaint themselves with
the facts of the problem" and
that in forming their conclu-
sions they should show a meas
ure of good sense and common
kindness without which no diff
cult problem can be successfully
tackled.
