Wanted-Livestock Feeders

the best advantage through livestock? 1t
YOU don't have the sheep or cattle or hogs,
borrow them on gain basis from the man
who hasn't been able to find an acceptable
buyer. You need no elaborate equipment or
supplies You need no great heritage OF ex-
perience Study the methods being used by
other feeders in your district-and use your
own common sense.
The pendulum still swings. With many
feeders in the cornbelt off the market this
fall, with meat consumption at an all-time
high, with an abnormal spread already
showing up between feeder prices and those
for finished cattle and lambs, the probability
of at least modest profits to those who feed
seems favorable.
The raw materials are right here in
abundance, this fall of 1853 Acreage allot-
ments for wheat indicate that forage and
feed grain supplies may be abundant next
year and for some years to come.
If you are new at the feeding game, don't
plunge in too heavily this first season. But
make start and as you gain experience,
you can expand from year to year.

Editorials

A LII along the plains and in every noun
4 n tain valley in this Notwithstanding
area there are plenty of beef calves and
yearlings this fall.
And along every river valley there is an
abundance of feed Here at home, and in the
states to the west and south, there is an
increasing demand for meat.
The cattle and sheep, the feed and the
market are here. We need only the feeder
to round out the program.
Beet-tops are worth no more than fer
tilizer unless fed to livestock. Soft corn can
best be used where it is produced. The same
goes for corn silage and grass silage, for
much of the oats, rye and barley and some
of the wheat. Irrigated grass pastures have
an important part to play.
Our feeding industry cannot be modelled
after the plan followed by the cornbelt
feeder His conditions and methods differ
greatly from those that need to be con-
sidered here. Let's face our own problems
and work out our own methods.
If you have the feed why not sell it to

Reorganizing Soil Conservation

the first effective soil conservation program
in world history Henceforth soil conserva-
ton district technicians will get specialized
technical guidance in these fields from 48
different state extension services with as
many different ideas"
AS most farm and ranch people will agree
there has been altogether too much duphca-
ton of agency services in the agricultural
field. The Bureau of Reclamation, for in
stance, established what amounted to
another agricultural research and extension
service. Instead of Strengthening the reg
ular agricultural extension service to the
point where it could adequately serve the
requirements of. the Bureau of Reclamation,
the government, in effect, permitted the bu-
reau to duplicate many of these services.
Somewhat the same thing happened over
the years with the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice, as the NASCD bulletin quoted above
indicates The Soil Conservation Service
built up a very considerable agricultural
extension service of its own.
Such duplication of agricultural extern
sion services can be not only costly to the
taxpayer but confusing to the farmer. There
have been many instances where one spe-
cialist would recommend one procedure in
connection with an Individual farm program
and another specialist would recommend
something quite different.
To the extent to which needless duplica-
ton can be eliminated, the reorganization
that is now underway will be a good thing.
In performing its basic function of provid-
ing the technical services that are required
in the action phases of the program, the Soil
Conservation Service should be in a posi-
ton to draw on the state experiment station
and extension service for information and
cooperation. For adequate service in this re-
gard, the extension service and perhaps the
experiment station will undoubtedly need
additional personnel.
The Soil Conservation Service has per-
formed an essential function in soil and
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-11-01

OFFICIALS of the National Association
" of Soil Conservation Districts, and Sos
men generally, are in state of high alarm
over what Secretary Benson's reorganiza-
ton of the United States Department of
Agriculture may do to the Soil Conserva-
ton Service.
If we were to take the almost hysterical
releases from the national association at
face value, we would be compelled to be-
lieve that the Soil Conservation Service was
about to be completely scuttled.
On the other hand, if we were to interpret
literally the statements that have been
made by officials of the Department of Agri-
culture, we would be pretty well convinced
that the changes the Secretary has in mind
would enable the Soil Conservation Service
to work more efficiently and just as effec-
lively as in the past.
The announced elimination of the re-
gional offices of the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice is being criticized severely. USDA says
that this is simply move in the direction
of efficiency and that the essential services
that have been performed by the regional
offices will now be handled by the state and
national offices.
But officials of the National Association
of Soil Conservation Districts contend that
this move is designed to place the state Of
fees of the Soil Conservation Service I'M
der the thumb of the Extension Service. Ex-
tension men, on the other hand, deny the al
legation vigorously and say that the last
thing Extension wants is supervision over
any of the so-called faction" agencies.
In an NASCD bulletin recently issued,
there is pretty clear indication of what a
lot of this shooting is about
'The world renowned Soil Conservation
Service is to be cleverly and effectively de-
stroyed as a technical agency" says the
NASCD. "Gone will be its famous staff of
agronomists, range specialists, woodland ex-
perts, biologists and grass pioneers who
worked as team so many years to develop

water conservation. Farm and ranch people
value the technical services of this agency
very highly The work of the state office of
the Soil Conservation Service here in Mon
tana, in cooperation with the soil conserva-
ton districts, has been very resultful. Sec
rotary Benson would be decidedly short
sighted if he were to weaken this extremely
important function in any essential way
that would interfere with the fine progress
that has been made in this field.
1t remains TO be seen how much ac-
tuaI reduction in production will result
from the wheat acreage allotment program.
The natural tendency will be for farmers
to withdraw their poorest acreage from
wheat production and to secure the utmost
production from the acreage that is seeded.
Obviously, the reduction in production will
not equal the overall 219o reduction in
acreage Moisture and growing conditions
are likely to be a more important factor.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson has
started an investigation to determine
whether there is too much spread between
the price the farmer receives for beef and
the price the housewife pays. While prices
paid producers have been going down, costs
of labor, transportation, etc., paid by the
distributor have been going up. So have
costs paid by the producer. Moving meat
from the feed lot to the table with the many
services demanded by present day consum-
ers is a complex operation.
Eternal vigilance is the price of safety in
farm and ranch operations. Most farm ac-
cidents are preventable but last year 81 out
of every 100000 farm residents lost their
lives and an additional 100000 farm people
suffered injuries through accident. Farming
had the third highest death rate due to ac-
cident among the major industries, being
surpassed only by mining and construction.
Eiqhty-five per cent of Montana's farms
and ranches are now electrified, according to
the latest REA report. This represents ire
mendous progress since 1885 when only 5
per cent of Montana's farm families en-
ioyed power line service. Montana ranks
second among the states in percentage gain
in identification during the year ending
June 80, 1858, with an increase of 81 per
cent.
Of the cultivated acreage in the United
States in 1852, about 6 per cent produced
feed for horses and mules, per cent pro-
duced commodities for non-food use II pei
cent produced for export, Is per cent fol-
cereals fruits and vegetables for domestic
food and So per cent produced livestock
products for the human diet.
