butterfat and cents for every hundred
pounds of milk sold. This plan will be put
into effect for 1854 if it is approved by 25 of
the state associations
The proposed program will be acted upon
in Montana sometime this fall when the
American Dairy Association of Montana
will hold a special meeting. Operations of
the Montana association are supervised by
a board of directors composed of IA men,
bers representing dairy farmer groups, farm
organizations, processing plants and dairy
cow breed associations Associate members
represent the Montana Extension Service,
dairy department of the State College, Live
stock Sanitary Board and the Montana De-
partment of Agriculture.
Dairy industry leaders are confident
that the proposed advertising and merchan-
dising program would do much to relieve
the present surplus problem. They feel that
the dairy industry will enjoy a steady
growth when consumers fully appreciate
the nutritional values of dairy products.

Pushing Dairy Products

MAYHEM the secretary of agriculture an
w nounced one-year extension of price
supports for dairy products at 80 per cent of
parity, he urged dairy farmers and dairy
interests to move aggressively in support of
their own industry. 1t was suggested that if
surplus supplies continued to accumulate,
the government might be compelled to dis
continue its. support effort.
Leaders of the dairy industry have ac-
cepted this challenge and are developing a
powerful advertising and merchandising
program that is designed to stimulate the
consumption of dairy products.
In recent years, dairy farmers have con-
tributed in a rather modest way to promo
ton funds administered by the American
Dairy Association. Here in Montana pro-
ducers who have co-operated with the pro-
gram have contributed l cent per pound of
butterfat sold during the months of June
and July. Dairy farmers in many other
states have co-operated in a similar way.
Eighty per cent of the states collection has
gone to the national office of the American
Dairy Association for national advertising,
research education and merchandising pro-
grams, and 20 per cent has been used by the
state organization for similar work on 10
cal level.
Under the new plan, the collection of
promotion funds will be placed upon a
year around basis. Dairy farmers will be
asked to contribute cent for each pound OF

Editorials
Questions To Be Answered

OECRETARY of Agriculture Ezra Benson
~ is a great believer in scientific re-
search. He has indicated that this broad
field of study and experimentation will have
strong support under his administration.
The recent report of the agricultural re-
search policy committee Established under
the research and marketing act of 1946) is
therefore of more than ordinary significance.
The committee recommends a vigorous
and continued research program designed to
obtain the best possible answers to IS funda-
mental questions These questions mot listed
in any order of relative Importance which
catalog the most serious shortages in the ma
TONS supply of agricultural knowledge are
as follows:
How can we reverse the downward trend
in fertility of our soils?
How can we increase the contribution of
forest range, and water resources to
local and national prosperity?
How farm work be made more pro-
ductive by use of power, equipment and
efficient work methods?
Can discover basic principles of life
and growth and thus improve our plant and
animal resources for human use?
How improve the nutrition of
plants, animals, and humans by better use
of soil resources fertilizers and feeds?
How can we increase yields and improve
the quality of our plant and animal prod
ucts by scientific breeding?
How we eradicate minimize losses
from recurring epidemics of animal, CROP
and forest diseases?
How can prevent the waste caused by
destructive insects?
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-04-15

How can research help farmers to or
ganize and manage their farms for profit
and income stability?
How can farmers obtain the capital needed
to own, operate and improve their farms?
How can rural families achieve more
healthful and satisfying home and COM
munity living?
What are the basic characteristics of farm
commodities and how can we utilize them
in new and improved products?
How does kind, quality and amount of
food affect human health?
How can we reduce spoilage and loss of
product quality between the farm and the
consumers table?
How processing and marketing costs
be reduced to benefit producers market op-
orators and consumers?
How can we provide market information
needed by producers, traders and consumers
for intelligent selling and buying?
How can we reduce the agricultural NAL
adjustments caused by changing conditions3
How can we reduce the lag time between
the findings of research and their widespread
use?
These questions are not new. Partial an
swers are already available to each of them
But in the opinion of the committee mem
bers neither these partial answers. nor cur
rent progress toward more complete solu-
tons, are satisfactory.
Science has made great strides during
the past quarter century. But to adequately
serve the needs of the nation and of human
ity it must make still greater progress in thu
years that lie ahead.

Local policY-forming and policy-execu-
ton functions of state and county PIMA Of
fees are being separated under a new plan
announced by Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son. Program and administrative policy
forming functions will continue to rest with
the state PIMA committee, which is selected
by the Secretary of Agriculture, and with
the county PIMA committees, which are
elected by farmers. Policies which are de-
termined by the committees will be carried
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-04-15

out by committee employees. In the words
of Secretary Benson 'The state and county
committees will in effect serve as a board
of directors to determine policy, but they
will not be asked to spend their time on
routine administrative matters. They will
be paid for the time they spend in policy
forming work, while staffs trained in office
management and administrative work will
carry out such policy"
There is revival of interest in dairying
in some parts of the state, including areas
supplying the Billings, Great Falls. Butte
and Missoula markets for whole milk This
is reversal of the trend that prevailed a
few years ago. Stable markets, improved
dairy equipment and development of hy-
brid corn varieties suitable for silage pur-
poses under Montana conditions are among
the factors RESPONSIBLE for the renewed in
terest in dairying.
Most cattlemen are against any direct
price support program, but cornbelt hog
producers feel differently. A recent poll
conducted by by Wallaces' Farmer showed
that 66 per cent of the hog raisers think the
government should support hog prices, %
percent advocate leaving the hog market
alone and IL per cent are undecided
Adjustment of conflicting views of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Benson and farm lead
ers in Congress during the coming months
will afford wholesome example of democ-
racy in action. COMPROMISES will be made
by both sides. The final result is likely to
be somewhat more realistic than idealistic.
Meat imports haven't had much to do
with declining beef prices during the past
year. In fact, beef and veal imports in 1852
amounted to only 3.9 per cent of the total
cent in 1851.
While equipment and supplies for farm
and ranch operation are more abundant
than in past years. it is still wise to antici-
pate requirements. If you wait until the
last minute, your local dealer may not be
able to take care of you.
When farmer overdraws his bank ac-
count he is notified Immediately by the
banker. But when he overdraws his soil fer
tility account Mother Nature doesn't send
him any formal notice He has to discover
his delinquency himself The penalty how
ever is just as certain. Bankers too should do
more to encourage their farm customers to
maintain fertility reserves. In the long run
that's where the prime security of any loan
lies
P1ungers and Spectators sometimes fare
pretty well on a rising market, but when
farm prices level out or trend downward
prudence and careful planning pay divi-
dends.

Lotest Achievement as
Milestone Of Progress
q az A.sosletsa .Ptsss

The United States today an
nounced the successful breed
ing" of atomic fueEthat is,
the production Of at least as
much, or more, new fashionable
material as is burned up in the
process of making it.
The development is one of the
most revolutionary in the en-
tire atomic program. 1t was
disclosed by Chairman Gordon
Dean Of the Atomic Energy
Commission in "a speech pre-
pared for the Edison Electric
Institute.
Mr.. Dean cautioned his audi
ence of 5000 electric and power
men not to assume that eco
nomic power from atomic energy
is here. But he called the
achievement a milestone of prog
reSs and said it "holds out the
promise of making a civilian
atomic power industry even
more feasible and attractive in
the long range than it has hith-
erto appeared to be-"
Process illustrated.
The process, Mr.. Dean said,
was worked out at the Aces
reactor testing station at Arco,
Idaho. He illustrated it this way:
ITO explain to you the impact
Of reaching this new milestone,
I would like to use an analogy.
albeit q greatly oversimplified
one.
II would like to ask you to
imagine a world in which only
100 gallons of gasoline existed.
When that gasoline was used up,
gasoline would forever be gone
from the earth. But let us
imagine that we could make gas
oline out Of water by burning the
gasoline we had in the presence
Of water.
Let us say. for example, that
by burning up our 100 gallons of
gasoline. we could change 80 gall
Ions Of water into new gasoline,

to give the name of the police
man who lost his weapon. Later
he was identified as Pvt. William
