in 1853 was a major cause of the de-
cline in farm prices and farm income
in that period.
Increases in agricultural produc-
ton abroad have reduced the need
for our SURPRISES. Competing ex-
porting countries have expanded
their production and are offering
their farm surpluses at less than our
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS prices. Our
foreign aid appropriations for food
relief, which financed our exports
partly on give-away basis, have
been reduced.
While recovery of an important
part of this drop in exports is I'M
likely, the chances of holding them
near present levels is fairly good.
Economic conditions in Europe are
better and dollars with which to
buy goods from America are more
plentiful. In addition, more agrees
sive efforts to promote foreign trade
appear to be in the making. The
main hazard, however, is that slow

supports, unemployment insurance,

While total consumer income may
be a little less in 1854, the number
of consumers will be greater. Pop
ulation is increasing at the rate of
about 81 million persons, or around
11A per cent, a year. The popula-
ton clock in the Bureau of the
Census in Washington, which reg
listers the increase in population at
the rate of one person every IL Sec
onds, probably passed the 161 million
mark shortly before the end of 1858,
and will be well past 1853 million a
year hence.
Smaller Exports
Exports absorb only a minor part
of our total farm products but are
extremely important outlets for
wheat, cotton, tobacco, fats and oils,
oil seeds, rice, dried skim milk and
certain fruits. The drop in total agri-
cultural exports from over 81 bill
lions in 1851 to about $2.7 billions
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-01

States will reduce our purchases of
foreign goods and services with
which countries abroad earn dollars
to buy our products.
Reduced Production
So much for the demand side of
the outlook.
Farm production probably will be
smaller next year. Acreage allot-
ments on wheat, cotton and prob
ably corn will take Is to 80 million
acres out of those crops. Use of the
best land, heavy fertilization and
other measures will bring high yields
on the reduced acreage and the di-
verted land will produce other crops,
especially feed and forage for live
stock.
However, it is likely that aggre-
gate crop production will be less
than in 1858. Weather, of course,
will have a good deal to do with the
outcome. Combined production of
meat animals and dairy and poultry
products probably will be much the
same as in the past year.
Carryovers of farm products on
Jan. l probably were greater than
ever before. A large share is i'm
pounded in the price support pro-
gram, so that they may not depress
prices further. However, they will
hinder prices from rising over sup
port levels if Strengthening forces
should appear.
Farm Program Changes
Changes in the farm program. will
have some influence on farm returns.
Partly due to declines in parity
levels, lower supports have been an
nounced on the 1854 oats, barley,
grain sorghum and flaxseed crops
and on the wool clip. The present
program carries on for another year
on wheat, corn and other "basic"
crops.
The dairy support level may be
changed after March 81. 1t certainly
won't be increased and it may be
lowered. A new overall farm pro-
gram to apply after 1854 is in the
mill The Administration is believed
to lean toward lowering supports on
many products, but Congress seems
to favor high supports.
Farm production cost rates are
about / per cent below the average
in the past year. Feed, seed and pur-
chased livestock show greatest de-
clines and taxes, interest and farm
wage rates show greatest increases.
Farm equipment, motor vehicles, fer
tilizer, building and fencing ma
terials, pesticides and other farm
supplies are about unchanged to
slightly lower. With income down
and curbs on acreage, farmers will
shop around more for bargains and
buy less of some farm supplies, per-
haps hire less labor, and thus reduce
their total production expenses.
While the economic setting APP
pears slightly less favorable than q
] year ago, the change in earnings Of
any particular farmer will depend
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-01

in 1854 because of record business
inventories and a little tapering off
in defense goods output, in business
spending for new plants and equip
ment and in the housing boom, all
of which contributed heavily to the
peak rate of national production
reached in 1858. These changes will
mean some decline in town and city
employment and income.
Once such a decline starts it is
hard to gauge how far it will go,
but there are strong reasons for be-
ieving that this shakedown will not
be severe. The bottom certainly will
not fall out. The decline in defense
spending will be only on the order
of S to 10 per cent. Surveys indi-
cate that business firms will spend
more for new plants and equipment
in the first quarter of 1854 than in
1858 and their plans call for a drop
of only per cent in such spending
for the entire year. While housing
is past the peak, it continues rela-
lively high and some other types of
construction are increasing. Gov
eminent agencies forecast that total
volume in the construction industry
will only be about per cent under
the record 1858 level
Thus far, layoffs have been rela-
lively few. With wage and salary
rates creeping upward, total income
is still near the high point. Con-
sumers are able to spend at rec
ord rate for personal consumption.
Supplying these wants of consumers
is at all times the biggest element
in business activity.
Take Home Pay Stable
While employment is likely to be
slightly lower in 1854, the drop in
take home pay is likely to be small.
Unions will continue pressure for
wage increases, although their gains
are likely to be much smaller than
in previous years. Starting Jan.
income taxes will be about 10 pei
cent lower, although part of that re.
duction will be offset by higher So.
cial Security payments.
Consumers never start a depres.
sion. AS long as their incomes are
high, they will continue to buy goods
This will maintain relatively higl
activity in the consumer goods in
dustries which are the mainstay O
business.
Severe depressions nearly Away
have grown out of monetary strain
usually preceded by enormous spec
ulation with borrowed money. Tha
condition does not exist now. Will

Money? There is no such

that in truth it was a drab and
lonesome land. To make matters
worse it was neither dark nor
light but a sort of perpetual
gloom halfway between night
and day.

seems good enough to us"

cause we have never had a Santa

| They climbed the solid gold
hill and when they reached the
top they saw below row after
row Of splendid palaces. Every
palace was made of solid gold.

Tom could see boys and girls
standing idly in the golden court
yards. These children were the
