We are surrounded with the
heroism of cowards-people who
talk long and loud on the lofti-

firmness of their convictions; but
when Right IS wronged and JUS
tice is ruthlessly trampled upon,
like the ostrich, they bury their
heads in the sand and stand i'm
mobile in their cowardice.
The physical towards may
find protection under the wing
of discretion; but where does
the moral coward get his de-

Even our best friends desert

Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-09-01

$44 900 at 1850 prices. Equipment and
buildings were deprecated substantial
ly in arriving at these values. Con-
sequently, the cash outlay for the re-
sources is considerably greater than
the values of resources shown in the
table.
New capital costs and values in 1850
on the illustrative farm in the Lower
Marias Area were nearly SIS, In
addition, the farmer needs operating
capital and funds for living expenses.
The rate of development determines
which year these resources are re-
CURED Availability of capital and Gre
dit determines when the resources can
be acquired. An interviewer relation
ship exists between capital needs, capi-
tai sources and income. These factors
all affect each other.
Capital required by settlers varies
with tenure, size and type of farm.
Renting and credit decrease the need
for ownership of capital. The farmer
pays Tor the use OF this capital through
rent and interest. But it may be con-
siderably easier to meet these costs
than to obtain money for acquiring full
ownership in real estate and other re-
sources.
The farms shown in table 1 include
large amounts of equipment and live
stock Hiring, joint ownership and Sec
ond-hand machines can decrease the
ownership of equipment These arrange
ments may be preferable to full owner
ship of all new equipment, especially
in the early years of settlement. More
cash row crops and sale of grains and
forage crops could decrease the need
for livestock and farm buildings. Some
irrigation farmers may own large acre

please turn to page S8l
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-09-01

This is the first Of series Of four
articles by Mr.. Stewart in which
he analyses factors that will make
for success of new irrigation prof.
ectS in Montana. AS basis for the
analysis Mr.. Stewart refers to the
experience of the Buffalo Rapids
Project, which has proved to be one
of the most successful federal irri-
cation projects thus far. MIR. Stewart
is agricultural economist with the
Production Economics Research
Branch of the USDA Agricultural
Research Service, BOzeman.
SETTLERS ON FEDERAL irrigation
projects have been required to have
about $4,000 capital before they could
qualify for homestead. These settlers
have not needed money for land pur-
chase like families settling on projects
where the land is privately owned. Also,
present-day irrigated agriculture re-
quires several times $1,000 worth of
assets for a fully developed and ade-
quately equipped and stocked farm.
The need for owned capital in de-
veloping an irrigated farm differs
greatly, depending on rate of develop
ment, tenure and available credit facili-
ties. These factors are examined later.
In this article, resource conditions on
the Buffalo Rapids Project in eastern
Montana are considered largely in
terms of total capital requirements. A
look is also taken at potential needs
on new projects over the next several
years.
Price level is a critical factor in the
valuation of capital needs. Values for
Buffalo Rapids are similar to those of
1943-49, except for land and buildings
which were appraised on the basis of
1894 prices. The average us. index
of prices received from 194S-49 was 234
and the parity ratio was 100. The index
of prices received from 1889 to 1914
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-09-01

averaged IA and the parity ratio was
&C. Buffalo Rapids values are combi-
nation of these two periods.
Beginning Assets
The beginning assets required on
public projects in the past have con-
tributed substantially to the financial
success of settlers. But these initial
requirements have not solved the capt.
tai problem. Partly, this has been be-
cause initial requirements were small
in terms of total needs. Partly, the as
sets were not adaptable to develop
ment work such as clearing and heavy
leveliDg.
Settlement of IRRIGATION projects has
been done mainly by young farmers
and others who could not acquire con-
troll of a farm in an established area.
These settlers had few beginning re-
sources. The lack of owned assets was
the main reason they looked to home
stealing on irrigation projects.
Farmers in the Buffalo Rapids study
had beginning net worths ranging from
10000 to a net Indebtedness of 81, $50.
The average beginning net worth was
$4,650 for the 70 farmers in the study.
These resources were important even
if they did no more than show sin
cerity on the part of the settlers to

Look at Resources Needed for
Developing an Irrigated Farm

invest in farms and become members
of the community.
However, statistical analysis showed
that there was not significant rela-
tionship between beginning assets and
success in capital accumulation during
the average settlement period of about
6 years on farms studied in Buffalo
Rapids. Within this period, a farmer
with $4,000 at settlement apparently
was no more likely to be successful
after to 10 years than a farmer who
started with $4,000.
These statements may appear to be
inconsistent But the methods and spe-
cial facilities which were available to
Buffalo Rapids farmers apparently
more than offset the advantage of hold
inc initial resources of, say, up to
$4,000.
Capital Requirements
In 1850, farmers in Buffalo Rapids
operated resources worth about $17 1000
per farm table y. The indebtedness
was about $4,000 on these farms. A
group of farmers who bought farms
with buildings from the government
had resources valued at $4,000; their
Indebtedness was about $11, 900.
Assets on an illustrative farm in a
new area like the Lower MariaS in

mister Roberts, is the blister.
ing, yet tender, saga of the men
on a Navy cargo ship that mono
tonously plies from one Pacific
port to another, thousands of miles
away from battle areas. It's chief
character is Lieut.. q. g. Roberts,
who is eating his heart for a COM
bat assignment, but whose cap
tain continually refuses to auth
orize this transfer to a warship.
This commander is a hard-bitten
sea-bully who hates college men
like Roberts, and drives his crew
In the hope of getting a promotion
for himself and so spreads misery
and hatred throughout the ship.
Drake Circle will play the part
of 1t. Roberts, and his voice is re-
markedly like that of Henry Fon-
da, who played the original role on
Broadway. The part of the cap
tain is played by Ed Giesbert, we'll
known to local theater goers for
his excellent past performances
with The Key West Players.
The part Of "Doc," the ships
doctor, a great "mixer," is played
by Roger Gunderson, who, in real
life, is the dentist out at Boca Chi
ca. The mighty male. Ensign
Pulver, IS played by Fred Taylor,
whose professional theater back
ground was apparent in his out
standing portrayals in the last two
Players productions.
The two, feuding', fightin', crew
ring-leaders, insignia and Mannion,
are played by Andred Schlanger
and Richard Bonham, both of
whom appear for the first time
with The Key West Players. These
two characters" really set the
pace of the show with their very
first appearance and are doing a
terrific job In rehearsals.
1t. Ann Gerard, an army nurse,
the only female in the show, is
played by Nancy Calls and creates
havoc when she bares her brand.

The Auxiliary has taken an ac

They have given a basal meta

a modern incubator.
Their project this year is the
