THIS is CHILD
SAFETY MONTH
Children, Nations Greatest
Asset, Says Mrs. Ivy Baker
Priest, Treasurer of u. S.
MANY CHILDREN KILLED

One of the nations greatest as
sets is its children, according to
the Treasurer of the United States.
Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, speaking
also as a mother, pointed out that
this month is 'tChild Safety
Month" and that motor vehicles
kill more children every year than
any disease. Mrs. Priest, who is
one of the judges of the 1855 Carol
Lane Awards for Traffic Safety,
quoted National Safety Council
figures that $500 pedestrians were
killed last year. "Of that total, al
most a fourth were children under
A." she said. Spring means that
the motorist must be doubly alert"
Mrs. Priest pointed out. mot only
does spring bring more cars to
streets and highways, but it is also
a period of greater outdoor play
and activity by children. There
fore, motorists should drive with
extreme caution near schools, play
grounds, residential areas and
other places where children may
congregate.
Expect the Unexpected
always remember to expect the
unexpected where children are con-
cerned," Mrs. Priest warned.
Watch out for children suddenly
darting into the street in pursuit
of a ball, or for the youngster on
a bicycle or roller skates. Be
mindful of the fact that every
child pedestrian is a human eau
tion sign," she said, land you'll be
doing your part to preserve our
precious asset-our children-to
enrich tomorrow's world" Mrs.
Priest has a long record OF traffic
safety activity. Prior to becoming
Treasurer of the United States,
she served as vice-president and
director of the women's division of
the Utah Safety Council in her
home state.
Urges Homes to be Active
She urged individual women as
well as members of women's and
parents organizations to become
active in traffic safety in their
communities. Such women are
eligible to enter the 1854 Carol
Lane Awards for Traffic Safety
administered by the National Safe
ty Council through a grant of the
Shell Oil Co.-which are the ma
tion's only awards to recognize the
achievements of women in the field
of accident prevention. A $1,000
defense bond and a bronze stat
uette will go to first place winners
in both the Individual and group
categories. Three honorable mem
tion awards are presented in each
category. Nominations are open
through June 30, 1854. Women in
terested in entering the 1854 Carol,
Lane Awards may obtain addition

a short period Of moderate adjustment the

When the experts disagree. how can the
ordinary fellow plan intelligently for the flu

reasonably conservative basis but, neverthe-

Price-And Production Control

at minimum supports wheat would ordi-
narily be more profitable or less unprofit-
able, than other small grains the farm might
grow.
In 1926 acreage planted to wheat in Mon
tana totaled 3,7O1 OO0 The average price
was $121 bushel. The following year A.
900 acres were planted to wheat and the
average price was $106. In spite of this
price drop, growers sowed 4,448,000 acres
in 1923. That year the price went to &c
bushel. In 1929 the planted acreage rose to
4712,000 and the average price was $780, In
1880 the acreage was 4535, 900 and the price
dropped to SIC. Wheat acreage went down
to 100000 acres in 1881. Prices averaged
soc. Even with this destructively low price,
planted acreage rose the following year to
1884 900 and the price sank to 35c.
There is nothing in the Montana wheat
production record that indicates that low
er acreage follows a lower price. But there is
definite proof that moisture conditions at
planting time have considerable influence
on acreage. Dry weather, not lower prices,
has been the controlling factor.

TVHE theory of flexible price supports
IL is that when the support level falls in
periods of excess supply, farmers will re-
duce their production With smaller supplies
of the commodity on the market, prices will
rise to more profitable levels.
This would probably work out in prac-
tice with certain commodities, particularly
those where the production program in
wolves high labor cost. In the case of hogs,
for instance, production appears to follow
price quite closely. When prices rise, grow
ers breed larger number of sows. When the
market drops, they hold down on produc-
ton
But in the case of basic crop like wheat,
there is little evidence to support the conten-
ton that flexible supports would be re-
sultful in controlling production. Unless sup
ports were set at disastrously low level,
the lower price would have little effect
in reducing output. 1t would knock out some
marginal acreage, but such land contributes
comparatively little to surplus anyway.
In much of the Great Plains region where
most of the wheat is produced, there are
comparatively few substitute crops Even

tive capacity of his place will probably gain
by going ahead with his program even if it
must be on more limited basis than he
would like. There are few rewards in this
world for the one who stands still, awaiting
some future time when conditions will be
favorable More often success comes to
those who establish an objective and start
moving toward it regardless of conditions.
For the man or the institution the time
to move ahead is usually NOW

A WELL-KNOWN financier of genera
L = ton ago used to say, "any darn fool can
make money on a rising market"
The ideal time to start business or
farming enterprise is when economic condi-
tions are on an uptrend. The late '30s and
all through the '40s was that kind of pc
Rod Farmers and ranchers who survived
the early and mid '30s, or who started oper-
ations around the close of that decade, pros
pered substantially Even those of just av-
erage ability and industry were able to
make plenty of money under the combina-
ton of favorable growing conditions and
good prices. On the other hand those who
went into business or who purchased farms
or ranches in 1928 or 1929, just before the
boom of that period burst, found the going
hard
While timing is very important factor
in achieving success in any line of human
endeavor, it is quite largely a matter of
chance. Whatever his chosen line, man has
to start work when he reaches maturity,
whether that happens to be at the start of
an upswing or downswing in his particular
field. And even when an individual or an
institution has some control over the timing
of an important move, it requires both good
judgment and good luck to forecast future
conditions.
With an eye to past economic cycles,
most people anticipated a period of depres-
sion following World War II. Such dips had
occurred after previous wars Some farmers
and businessmen sold out about the time the
war ended. or shortly afterwards, thinking
they could buy back at a much lower price
little later on. But the bust turned into a
boom and those who had good luck or the
good judgment to start when costs seemed
relatively high made what proved to be a
wise move.
Even now there is wide difference of

agriculture Secretary Benson's defernain-

was emphasized by his action in dropping
butter 70 the minimum 7596 of parity level
provided by the present law. Lines are being
drawn sharply in Congress and battle
royal is shaping up the whole support
question. Bills have been introduced which.
if enacted. would nullifY the SecretarY's ac-
ton butter and raise rninirnums well
above the 7596 level. However. such legisla-
lion would probably be vetoed by the Presi-
dent. and If is doubtful that supporters could
muster the necessary fwo-thirds vote TO
override veto. If congressman from dairy
states fail in their attempt TO raise butter
support levels. they might turn against high
level supports for basic crops. Congressional
supporters of rigid high supports on basics
are not confident of success as they were
few weeks ago.
Lee Ford, Great Falls banker, reminds us that
grass used to stay green longer than the wheat
did in dry year. Now, because of modern till
age methods practiced by growers, wheat stays
green longer than grass.
National farm organizations differ widely
on the price support issue. Farmers Union
favors 1000 of parity guarantees and strong
lY opposes flexible supports. Farm Bureau
stoutlY defends the Benson flexible support
program. The Grange has adopted a middle
of-the-road policy. favoring some provisions
of the Administration program. criticizing
others and warning against the danger of
lowering supports too sharply al time when
farmers operating costs are high.
USDA's estimate of million more cattle on
farms January than year ago surprised many
cattle market authorities who thought the sharp
increase in marketing would lower total cattle
population. The government figures revealed no
trend toward heavy liquidation of she stock.
