CONSERVATION LOANS

Officials of Farmers Home Adj
ministration say that county FILA
offices soon will be ready to make
new conservation loans, recently
authorized by Congress. The loans
may be obtained for almost any
water facility or conservation prac-
tice, including these, FILA reports:
e.. to pay the costs for materials,
equipment and services for soil
conservation, water development, con-
servation and use, and drainage. This
will include the construction and re-
pair of terraces, dikes, bitches, ponds
and tanks, and establishment and i'm
provement of permanent pastures, ba-
sic (but not annuaD application of fer
tilizer, tree planting, well drilling and
the purchase of irrigation equipment. !"
Loans may be obtained from banks
and other private lenders, and insured
by FILA, or from FILA directly. Interest
rate will be per cent. Liens on live
stock and equipment, and real estate
mortgages Including second mort
gages) will be acceptable security.

STABLE CATTLE MARKET

Most signs are pointing to con-
tinued stability of cattle markets,
say fOrecasters here. Relaxation
of controls is expected to help live
stock producers in two ways: ID
by maintenance of feed grain acre
age, and (2) reducing temptation
some farmers may have had to get
into the livestock business, or ex-
pand herds, in order to make up for
income lost on crops.
Benson & Co. are considering another
move that would tend to keep down
costs in future months of
supports under oats, barley, rye, grain
sorghums and soybeans. Support for
these crops, which has been at IS per
cent of parity this year, is non-manda-
tory, may be anywhere between zero
and 80 per cent of parity, depending on
supply, prices for other feed such as
corn and the Secretary's estimate of
the situation generally. Talk, inside
the department, is that supports for
these ''nonbasics'' next year may be
dropped to somewhere around rs per
cent of parity.

The delegation of wool men included
two men from Montana-Wallace u
mer of Miles City, vice president of the
National Wool Growers Association,
and Everett E. Shuey of Helena, Sec
rotary of the Montana Wool Growers
Association.
The Agriculture Secretary, by direc-
ton of Congress in provisions of the
new farm law, is required to consult
with wool producers in establishing
support levels. The law permits sup
port for wool up to 80 per cent of par
ity through loans and purchases-and
on up to ITO per cent of parity through
direct, incentive payments to produc-
ers. Purpose is to increase annual
production to 300 million pounds.

Keeping in ToNcb With Washington
Total AllOtments Out But
Not Cross-Compliance

WASHINGTON, DC. = Wheat grow
erS and stockmen, along with cotton
producers, are to benefit most from
USDA's decision to relax next years
acreage controls. Elimination of ''total
allotments'' won't allow more wheat to
be planted-but it will permit more
freedom in use of acres forced out of
wheat.
The controls change means that
acreages diverted from wheat
and other allotment crops now may
be planted to almost anything else
except another allotment crop.
Had total allotments gone into eff
feet, growers with 10 or more diverted
acres would have been required to
leave them idle, or put them into pas
ture and forage. Acreages of non-al-
lotment crops on total-aliotment
ranches and farms also would have
been limited in 1855 to whatever had
been planted in the base" year of
1881
Note: One limitation has been placed
on use of diverted acres. They may
not be used, USDA has ruled, to plant
more commercial vegetables, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, and dry edible beans
than in the base years of 1928.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01
WOOL SUPPORT

Price support for wool next year,
under the new program recently
approved by Congress, is expected
to be placed at or near the top level
of ITO per cent of parity.
1t is possible that an announcement
to this effect may have been made by
the time you read this. Twenty-one wool
leaders were meeting in Washington
with USDA officials as we went to
press to work out details of the wool
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01
CROSS-COMPLIANCE HOLDS

Your controls worries, it should
be kept in mind, are far from over.
Cross-compliance provisions of the
program, says USDA, will be kept
in force.
This will require you to stay within
each individual crop allotment, or lose
price-support privileges on all of them
with this exception: Growers who
plant less than Is acres of wheat may
overplant allotments, and lose price
support only on the wheat. They would
not lose support on other crops.

BEEF-BUYING ISSUES

Whether the government this
year, as last, would buy some cut
ter and Gamer beef to maintain
markets for low-grade cattle was
still $64 question at press time.
The fact that the American National
Cattlemen's Association, a group which
has influence with Secretary Benson,
had put in formal request for gov
eminent help, was prompting specu-
lation that USDA would do some buy
ing. But other factors were working
against it.
Main one was the unusual stability
of cattle markets generally. Also,
while prices of old cows were down
some from last year, markets for feed
ers were more than offsetting that diff
ference. In August of this year, for
instance, feeder prices averaged $17.51,
compared with $15.S2 in August, 1858.

Whether You "Lve Too Long or Die Too Soon"
Life Insurance Can Contribute
To Your Farm or Ranch Success
By CLYDE HOWARD

certain future date for the specific
purpose of leaving the farm or ranch
free and clear of debt to the heirs.
Funds for Education
Since agriculture is becoming
more specialized and more techni-
cal know-how is required in all
phases of the industry, it is increas-
ingly important for boys going into
the business to have an opportunity
for a college education. Obviously,
the same is true of other professions.
So the average parent wants his
children to have an advanced edu-
cation. But this costs money. If the
parents live, no doubt the children
will get an education. If death
strikes, these plans usually fade
away. An additional step in planning
an insurance program will surely
recognize the need for setting up
funds for this purpose.
Up to this point, we have tried to
take care of some of the situations
which may present very real, and
very serious problems to farm or
ranch family if death occurs too
soon" for the head of the family.
We have provided:
1. Funds for last expense and bur-
ial.
2. Income for the family.
8. Mortgage cancellation.
4. Educational needs of the chill
dren.
All of this has meant more life
insurance. But there is a brighter
side to the picture-let's suppose the
head of the family lives. He has
provided for unforeseen emergencies
and has enjoyed peace of mind over
a period of years, knowing that pro-
vision has been made for his loved
