Outguessing the Weather

But most of the experienced operators
went ahead with their seeding on schedule
anyway, even though they knew that it
would take almost miracle to give them
good crop Some farmers decided to wait
until the rains came before investing their
seed, labor and gasoline. Then the clouds
opened and moisture came In great abund-
ance. The growers who had the seed in the
ground were sitting pretty. Those who had
waited couldn't seed until well after the
optimum time because their fields were too
wet to work.
While moisture conditions in Montana
are somewhat erratic and vary considerably
from year to year, the proportion of fair to
good crops exceeds the poor crops by
healthy margin. That is why experienced
farmers have learned to plant as close to
schedule as possible every year and not try
to outguess the weather.
Not all Montanans fully appreciate the
extent to which the state has become one of
the greatest bread baskets of the nation.
The record crop of 100000 bushels this
year was second only to Kansas 154, 100000
bushels. In 1852 Montana's $4,000 600 bushel
crop was exceeded only by Kansas, North
Dakota and Nebraska. Still more significant
is the fact that Montana's 10-year average
production (942-195D of 100000 bushels
was topped only by Kansas and North Da-
kota. Moreover, the milling quality of Mon
tana's hard wheat surpasses that of the
grain from any other state.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-12-15
Editorials

NNOST Montana farmers have learned that
1Vx the moisture outlook at the beginning
of production season is an unreliable in
dication of the crop conditions which may
prevail as the season develops.
If there is plenty of moisture IN the sub
soil and a reasonably satisfactory condition
in the topsoil at seeding time, there is con-
siderable assurance that there will be at
least fair crop On the other hand, as the
experience of the 1858 season demonstrated,
unfavorable conditions at seeding time are
far from conclusive in forecasting crop
failure
When Montana's winter wheat crop was
seeded in September, 1852, the outlook was
discouraging. Subsoil moisture in much of
the area was below normal and the topsol
was exceedingly dry.
Many farmers had the choice of seeding
in the dust or holding off until spring with
the intention of putting in spring wheat if
the moisture conditions were more pronis-
ing then. The vast majority of course, plant
ed fall wheat as usual. Although the fields
in some sections were rather spotty, most
farmers secured good crops because of the
ample spring rains.
In some of the spring wheat areas in
northern and eastern Montana, growers
were confronted with a similar problem
when seeding time arrived. In certain east
ern Montana districts there was virtually
no moisture in either the surface or subsoiL

Benson plan would let wool prices seek their
own market level and then make direct gov
eminent payments to growers to bring their
returns up to a level approxirnating 900 of
parity. A processing tax on wool to apply
on both domestic and imported wool would
be depended upon to finance the payments
to growers.
Secretary Benson and his associates ap-
pear to be taking a more realistic view of
farm legislation than they did some months
ago. While the program that is to be advo-
Gated represents what the Secretary believes
should be done about the farm problem, it is
doubtful that he will make any effort to
high-pressure Congress to enact it at the
coming session. Even if he had any such
idea, he would be restrained by other adj
ministration leaders. It is probable that
President Eisenhower and Secretary Benson
will propose this program as a long-range
objective for the consideration of Congress
rather than for immediate action.

of this wheat as evidenced by the substan-
tial premium that is paid for it year after
year. The exportable surplus is made up
largely of the soft and lower quality wheats
produced in other regions.
Flexible price supports are recommended
for corn and other feed grains under the
Benson program. Where no extensive sur
plus existed, the objective would be 900 of
the new corn parity price (new parity on
corn is about $1.58 now as compared with
the old parity price of $1.78). When above
normal surplus supplies were on hand, sup
ports would be lower than GOETHE bigger
the surplus, the lower the support
Soybeans, cottonseed, flaxseed and pea
nuts would also be under the flexible sup
port plan.
The Benson program contenplates flex-
ible supports for butter and cheese but the
bottom support would be lower-from the
present 1870 to 500 of parity. For chickens,
turkeys and eggs a continuation of the pres
ent program with government buying as the
basis is recommended.
Marketing agreements which would tend
to keep supply in reasonably close balance
with demand would be relied upon to keep
prices of fluid milk fruits, vegetables, ETC.,
on profitable level. Efforts would also be
made to promote increased consumer de-
nand for these products.
For cattle and hogs, principal reliance
would be on government buying to ease
programs is contemplated for wool The
price adjustments in periods of surplus sup
ply.

Benson's Farm Program

A THOUGH most Washington observers
II agree that it hasn't ghost of a chance
of being approved by Congress, Secretary
Bensons farm program will be presented
early in the coming year. The Secretary's
recommendations are now in what might be
called semi-final form. They will be given
last working over by his agricultural advis-
DRY commission and will be checked again
by the White House staff The general plan
will then be outlined in the Presidents
"state-of-the-union" message early in Janu-
airy.
The program comprises several different
plans for different groups of commodities.
A two-price plan is recommended for wheat,
cotton and rice. The general objective would
be to give farmers 1909 of new parity
price (new parity is about $206 compared
with old parity of $2.45) on that portion of
the wheat crop consumed in the United
States, and lower or world price on the
portion sold abroad. The reasoning is that
farmers should have an American price on
the wheat marketed at home, but if they
want to produce for the export market, they
should take their chances on a world price
basis for that portion of their production.
While the details of the proposed two
price plan have not been announced, such
program would be unsatisfactory to Mon
tana's producers of hard milling wheat If
they were given the same proportionate
production allotment for the domestic price
that is given producers of wheat generally
in the United States. Very little of Mon
tana's high protein wheat is exported and,
for all practical purposes, there is no surplus

Some of the Sos district committeeme

Some of the Sos district committeeman
are still skeptical as to the way BenSon's
reorganization plan will work out. But they
have been encouraged by reports from
Washington that the state offices are to be
strengthened. 1t also appears that area
specialists will perform some of the func-
lions previously handled by the regional
offices 1t is understood that another
"blue book devoted entirely to the conser-
walton program will be issued soon by
USDA. 1t is to be hoped that this new bulle-
tin will keep away from meaningless gener-
alities and will outline specifically and in
detail what the Secretary has in mind
Continuation of present price supports
on basic crops was advocated by the Ma
tional Grange at its recent annual conven-
ton. This change in policy resulted from
strong membership pressure on Grange
leadership. The Grange position now is that
present high level support should be con-
tlnued until broader markets can be deveI-
oped to reduce burdensome SURPRISES.
Federal beef buying has already absorbed
100000 head of cattle, according to USDA.
Officials say prices paid have been high
enough to enable efficient producers" to
pay SO or more per hundred pounds live
weight for Gamer and cutter grade cows.
Prices for lower cattle grades will be
helped by the government buying of canned
beef this fall. The buying program will
absorb between 2 and per cent of the an
nual slaughter. What to do with the gov
eminent beef is the next problem.

HeoyY RuinfuIl Puts
Modern Telephone
System Out 81 Order

The new, modern" tele-
system installed just a little
over one year ago, was all
but knocked out BY the recent
heavy rainfall. III some cases
10 per cent Of the calls could
not be put through. Not one
call could go through to the
several phones at the Virgin
Islands Corporation; attempts
to reach the Chairman Of the
Municipal Council and others
are virtually impossible.
A comparison between the
old and new systems showed
that the old lines went dead
during rainfall but would in
variably, come to life when
there was sunshine; the new
lights up like a beautiful
Christmas tree; thus i will be
necessary e. jiggles your
phone as vigorously as possi-
BE and the Pickering light
assures the operator that q
subscriber is calling. The com
ing Of sunshine does not al
ways bring the new system
back to life, however.
Another interesting expe-
renee with the new telephone
IS to be told by someone that
they had been trying to get
your number but the line was
BUSY" or there was no ans
wer. During all that period
the telephone was completely
silent.
The helpless operators have
been blamed and abused by
subscribers who had never
taken time out to visit the cen
trail to see for themselves.
