Lieutenant Harrison had several

Such a test was made by the

length but to little avail The issue would
really be not chow good is an old teacher'?"
but show old is good teacher2" And that
can be answered as readily as the question,
show long is roper"
Nor is the question how to get more
good teachers easily answered. The solution
probably lies not so much in making it easy
to become a teacher as in making it worth
while to become one. In turn, making it
worthwhile is quite as much matter OF
recognizing professional standards as in es-
tablishing satisfactory pay levels. Only by
maintaining standards of training and ex-
perience, and thus honoring the profession
al status of teaching, can we attract the
caliber of teacher we need in Our Montana
schools.
Montana faces shortage of competent
teachers but the first and greatest assurance
that it will be solved is to be found in the
evident interest of Montanans in the prob
lem.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-06-01
How Old Is a Teacher?

MONTANANS are vitality interested IN
w the rural teacher situation. Their in
terest has been gratifyingly demonstrated
in the Letters to the Editor" columns in re-
cent issues of Montana Farmer-Stockrnan.
While the younger teacher VS.. the older
teacher was the issue that first touched off
the response, the able discussions of the pros
and cons really put the finger on the prob
lem we face in our schools. We need more
teachers and we need, always. the best
teachers we can get. Who are good teachers
and how to get them are, of course, the
questions
The answer to the first involves many
factors. Teaching is an art and profession.
AS such it demands talent, training and ex-
perience. In relationship to these qualifica-
tiens, whether a teacher is old or young
loses significance. The question as to which
is the better, a good young teacher or a
good older one might be argued to great

Can't better methods of freezing and
preserving meats be evolved which will
take the highs and lows out of the pres
emit marketing picture?
Those are just few of many important
questions that could be put to a marketing
research organization. For best results such
an agency should be financed and directed
by the stockmen themselves through their
established associations.
The cost per head of stock or per individ-
ual producer would be very small few
cents a head would bring in enough money
to support a thorough and comprehensive
search for the answers that would keep the
cattle industry or the sheep industry, or
the dairy industry, or the swine industry
headed toward a more stabilized income
Grain producers need this kind of help, too
In this modern world, intelligent re-
search is the key that unlocks the door to
progress.

Research-the Key to Progress

T7HE AVERAGE producer of beef has
u couple of hundred dollars tied up in
every cow and perhaps about that same
amount on his ranch In the physical plant
it takes to feed and care for the cow. That
means $400 or more invested in breeding
and IN management two of the three main
phases of livestock production. Producers
of sheep, swine and dairy cattle have SINH
lar investments.
How much money, or how much time
and effort, does the producer invest IN mar
keting, the third phase of his operation? Al
most none.
For many years There has been need for
a study in marketing and an investment
in research along these Lines. Now chang
inc conditions have made this need greater
than ever. Producers ought to know more
about consumer requirements and prefer
ences, about marketing trends and lnflu-
ences, and about many other things.
What is the present-day, reasonable
per-pound difference between the price
of a steer in the stockyards and a chuck
roast on the meat counter?

What Is Safe Wheat Reserve?

quotas and application of acreage restric-
tions are required when the prospective
supply of wheat exceeds the normal supply
by 20 per cent. Under present conditions of
normal demand this 20 percent reserve
amounts to about 1885, 100000 bushels.
Some congressman, some farm organiza-
tion leaders and some representatives OF the
grain trade are of the opinion that this re-
serve is too small for comfort In view of the
international tensions prevailing and the
continuing possibility of war. 1t might be
disastrous if a major war and a Serious
drouth should occur at a time when the ma
ton had no larger wheat reserve than that.
Under such circumstances the wheat
growers might not be able to ''bal out the
nation"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-06-01
Editorials

Nm the course of a recent discussion on
IL the wheat surplus situation, someone re-
marked that growers would have been in
trouble several years ago if World War II
hadn't come along and bailed them out.
Lud Strand, a Kansas farmer on Secre-
tary Benson's wheat advisory committee,
strenuously objected to that statement. He
declared that what actually happened was
chat wheat farmers and our abundant re-
serves bailed out the nation"
1t is true that if substantial reserves had
not been on hand, if farmers had not pro-
duced grain to the limit and if weather con-
ditions had not been unusually favorable,
the nation and the Western Allies would
have been in very serious food shortage
trouble.
AS the law now stands, proclamation of
