tors appears to be ahead in the race.
War and other things could change
this fast.
If a. more competitive situation is
ahead for agriculture generally, then
the break-even price point of the
individual farm OF ranch becomes
increasingly important. 1t is espec-
tally so when break-even prices are
high and there are ways to lower
them. They can be lowered either
by reducing the operating costs or
by increasing output efficiency or
by some combination of these two.
Labor and equipment costs are
now the two main cost items for
most Montana farms and ranches.
On some of the highly mechanized
operations, poor care and breakage
of equipment now results in some
fantastic equipment costs.
Some operators are now trying to
pull their wage rates down from the
recent peak. The success in this
varies considerably between locali-

ties. In some areas, such as the
Big Hole, the result so far seems
to be mainly the disruption of crews
and the loss of the efficient help.
Further mechanization to displace
high-priced labor will lower the
costs for some operations.
There are of course other means
for the reduction of swollen costs.
In the "easy times" of the last 10
years, we've nearly forgotten the
meaning of waste costs" and of
''budgetary control over COSTS"
Increased Efficiency
Of the other of the two means for
gaining a lower break-even price
for ranch and farm products, that of
better production efficiency, most
Montana ranches and farms can gain
quite lot. My own guess is that
as much, and perhaps more, can
be gained through that means as
through lowered costs. From my
observations and study of Montana
cattle ranches over the past Is years,
I hazard the guess that, as an aver
age, these ranches can increase their
output by 20 to Is per cent without
affecting their costs.
Those stock ranches whose records
I used in the cost figures given
above show results pretty much in
line with this guess on increased
efficiency, for the average. The
ranches with the lowest of the
break-even prices marketed an
nually 400 pound of good-quality
beef for each head of stock cattle
kept in the herds. They kept their
costs down by making as much as
possible of their beef production on
grass from good ranges and pastures.
At the other end of the scale, the
ranches with the highest of the
break-even prices were marketing
only 225 pounds of beef per year
for each head of stock cattle in the
herds. Some of them were making
more of their beef production than
necessary from hay and other stored
feeds.
High break-even prices for a
ranch or farm soon become the
| equivalent of 'going broke" prices.

Young Appeals 10 Benson
10 Halt Farm Price Drop


Senator Young. Republican, Of
North Dakota asked Secretary
Of Agriculture Benson today TO
act quickly to stop skidding farm
prices.
In a letter to the Secretary
Senator Young said the United
States should bar imports of
feed wheat, the Commodity
Credit Corp. should take price
depressing surpluSes" of the
market. and the whole Eisen-
hover administration should
explain further its farm pro-
gram.

The Aircraft Industries -Asso-
citation, calling attention to "the
fast-growing Importance of guild
ed missiles as an arm Of this
Nations defense" announced to-
day it is setting up a special
committee to deal with the flying
robots.
Meanwhile, the Air Force
spiked a rumor that the colored
aerial objects seen over North
Japan recently were Russian
guided missiles.
Pure conjecture" said an Air
Force spokesman. I'VE have
nothing to indicate any such ex-
planation."
The Air Force earmarked an
estimated $527 million for it's
guided missiles program in the
fiscal year starting July l.
Although detailed information
on guided missiles is classified for
security reasons, one missile
manufacturer, j. H. Kindelber-
ger, chairman of the board of
North American Aviation, Inc,
said recently the intercontinental
missile is ''just over the horizon"
Mr.. Kindelberger said such a
weapon will be capable of ac-
curately delivering to any point
on the surface of the earth, in a
few hours, a warhead carrying
infinite destruction and, because
OF its speed and altitude, will be
impossible to intercept"
The association committee will
act on behalf of guided missile
manufacturers on problems of
research, engineering design,
development, construction and
testing, the association said.

PIMA SubOrdinated.
In the Department reorganiza-
tion, the sprawling Production
and Marketing Administration
got a subordinate position and
lost control of the Agricultural
Conservation Program.
Republicans during last falls
political campaign, had their eye
on PIMA, which has run the Agri-
culture Departments key "ac-
tion" programs. The PMA-dom-
mated Agricultural Conservation
Program, gave individual farm
ers about $3.50 million annually
for carrying out approved soil
and water conservation work on
their own farms.
Republicans have complained
that much Of the money was dis
tributed where it would do the
most political good for the Dem
ocratS. Secretary Benson'S shift
ing the ACP out of PIMA, how
ever, does not mean definitely
that ACP will be either more or
less important politically.
Under the Benson reorganiza-
tion, ACP will be in the Depart
ment'S newly established group
for Research, Extension and

directed by Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture j. Earl Coke.

Dirksen Cites Other Issues.
Senator Morse, who delayed
confirmation of the other cabi-
net members earlier this week,
pointed out that General Mo-
tors has about S. billion in de-
fense contracts. and "it is not
in the interests Of good govern
ment" to have a former presi-
dent Of the company administer
ing the program.
Senator Dirksen said there
are a number Of considerations
that need careful attention;
Mr.. Wilson's stock was not the
only one." He did not say what
the other considerations are, but
added his mind is still open
on the appointment.
Senator Hunt. Democrat, of
Wyoming. a committee member,
said he is confident Mr.. Wilson
will make a bona fide sale Of
the stock and announced he
will vote for him unless some
thing else crops up"
Eisenhower Sees Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson conferred with
President Eisenhower late yeSter-
day. and it was after Z pm.
when White House Press Secre-
tary James c. Hagerty made this
brief announcement:
"The President has sent to the
Senate the nomination Of Charles
E. Wilson as Secretary Of De.
Tense. Mr.. Wilson visited the
President this evening and vol
unteered his intention to dispose
OF all his stock in General
Motors"
The former q. M. head also Il
entitled to a pension and to an
nual bonuses for three more
years for past services. Most
Senators have indicated they
saw no objection to the pension.
which would be for past services.
but Senator Byrd said yesterday
he thought Mr.. Wilson should
sell any part Of the bonuses that
takes the form of stock.
There was still no announce
ment from the White House as
to when the nominations of Mr..
Wilson's four subordinates in
the Defense establishment will
be sent to the Senate. The
earlier hearings showed that at
least three of these men have
had business connections that
made their cases similar to Mr..
Wilson's. Besides Mr.. Kyes, they
are:
Robert T. B. Stevens, textile
manufacturer, to be Army Sec
retary.
Harold Talbot. a Chrysler off,
cial, to be- Secretary of the Air
Force.
Robert Anderson of Texas.

Indecision on Rabbits S Status
Saves Seller From Fine or Jail

The questionable background
of a dead rabbit yesterday saved
Solomon Siegal a. possible $500
fine and six months In jail.
Whether or not the flesh o1
this particular bunny was meat
or something elSe-in the eyes OF
the law has been the cause OF
some heavy legal thinking around
Municipal Court since January
13.
And it's still an open question.
The case wound up before
Judge Andrew j. Howard. jr.,
when the District Department of
Weights and Measures hauled
Mr.. Siegal into court on January
13 for selling rabbit by the piece
at his grocery store in the 1400
block of Irving street NV.
It's against the law to sell
meat in the District by the piece.
You have to sell it by the pound.
The Point Of Difference.
But Mr.. Siegal's attorney, Jo-
Seph Sitnick. maintained the
rabbit wasn't meat-that it was
a rodent.
Judge Howard said he thought
it was game. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Hymie NuSsbaum
held that it was meat.
