Montana Farmers Union Urges
Livestock Price Supports

private utilities have launched a
"galloping raid on the public do
main" and that they have stopped
''the public power program dead in
its tracks"
Plans Scorned
Patton dismissed three suggested
plans for supporting farm prices as
IAN economic second-table for farm
ers." The plans so scorned are the
sliding scale system, the two-price
system and the cost of production
plan. The last named, now being
advocated by Gov. Dan Thornton of
Colorado, Patton declared to be the
worst of all. Under it, he said, wheat
would sink to 80 cents bushel, or
SO per cent of parity. even during
the darkest days of the depression"
he said, farmers were still getting
go per cent for their wheat and thou
sands were going broke at that
price"
Patton said any new farm pro-
gram should include adequate, low
cost, long term credit for young
farmers plus broadened and ex-
banded insurance program. Addi-
tional research and marketing pro-
grams should also be included.
farmers Face Fight
M. w. Thatcher, general manager,
Farmers Union Grain Terminal As
ISOLATION, addressing a cap acity
crowd at the convention Thursday
night, soundly berated the federal
administration for its failure to act
on farm problems and declared that
farmers face the fight of their lives
just to keep what they have"
He charged that the administra-
ton is giving preference to other
segments of the economy and the
victims of this preferential treatment
are working people and farmers. In
stressing the need for and justice
of 100 per cent parity support
program he declared that in the last
20 years the total cost of all support
programs for agriculture had been
