Sugar Beets Are Popular

growers crossed more than $13 ton for
their 1858 production. And beets should hold
their relatively favorable position with other
crops for some time.
In certain areas beets are a possible crop
for acres that have been diverted from
wheat and cotton, especially cotton. Thus
some new growers are coming in.
With acreage allotments pending, regu-
lar growers have been expanding their acre
age to build histories against possible cuts.
All this is putting beet sugar production
up to the quota The American Sugar Beet
Association and other agencies are pushing
to raise the ceiling, but chances of success
are not too favorable.
Sugar beets are key crop on irrigated
farms and Montana growers are wise to
push their acreage up as much as possible
this year.

AS Montana Farmer-Stockman has said
before, there should be a more concerted
effort to remind consumers that food is
really cheap, according to any realistic
comparison with past conditions. We would
like to see one or more of the national farm
organizations take the leadership in inviting
representatives of other agricultural groups,
as well as food professors and distributors,
to join in conference to discuss ways and
means of keeping the American public con-
tinuously aware of the fact that food is rela-
lively inexpensive If agriculture and the
food industries do not shoulder this re-
sponsibility, no one else is going to do it for
them
Food is cheap, but too few consumers
realize that fact. And this misunderstood
ing is costing farmers and stockgrowers

MONTANA sugar beet growers plan to
AVA plant $4,000 acres this year, according
to Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service. That is still about 10000 acres I'M
der the 10-year average but 1000 acres
more than last year.
And Montana growers are using good
judgment in planning that much increase.
There are no acreage allotments this year
but professors are right up against the
Sugar Act quota ceiling. In many sugar beet
areas in the west farmers can't take on any
more production than they had last year.
For the first time since the establishment
of the sugar marketing quotas, beet raisers
last year produced their full share of the
quota.
Growing sugar beets has become more
popular One reason is that beets are now
one of the most stable cash crops Montana

Food Prices Lowest In History

WHILE the outcries about high food
w prices that were so prevalent few
years ago have subsidized, many consumers
are of the opinion that food is expensive.
In dollars and cents it is true that food, like
everything else, costs more than it did some
years ago. But in terms of the time it takes
to earn it, American consumers are enjoy
ing the cheapest food in history. And this
trend is continuing
In 1913 the average factory worker, for
instance, spent ga minutes to earn the
money to buy pound of white bread. In
1858 it required only So minutes, according
to the Department of Agricultural Econom-
les of Purdue University. In 1913 it took
9.5 minutes for an industrial worker to earn
enough money to buy quart of milk Now
it takes only minutes. And it required IS
minutes to earn a pound of hamburger in
1948, as compared with 20 minutes today.

A Hopeful Outlook for Wool

MONTANA'S sheep growers may soon
IVA take new lease on life-on profits,
that is. All indications point toward early
enactment of the Administration sponsored
plan for direct payment support plan for
wool. And under the provisions of the meas
ure now before Congress- the income effect
of this legislation might be even greater
than 5000 of parity. The support level would
be set at whatever figure the Secretary of
Agriculture decided was necessary to en-
courage a production of 30O,0O0,00O pounds
of wool year.
Domestic growers haven't produced that
much wool since 1915. Production in 1858
was 229,20O,0OO pounds So what the govern
ment is asking for is an increase of more
than 800.
The bill provides that at the close of the
marketing year, the Secretary shall an
nounce the percentage difference between
the national average selling price and the
support level Thus, if the average ranch
price should be 1870 below the support lew
ell, for instance, the grower would get a
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-04-01

check for 1870 of the amount he received
for his wool on the regular market
This direct payment plan will be fl
nanced from funds derived from tariff du-
ties on imported wool.
Most of the wool growers organizations
of the United States, including the Montana
Wool Growers Association and the Wyoming
Wool Growers Association, are supporting
this bill.
The administrations approval of the
measure stems largely from the fact that
wool is an important strategic defense
item. Production in recent years has been
dangerously below minimum defense re-
quirements, and it is deemed essential to
give growers some positive encouragement
to increase production. Every effort is being
made to speed enactment of the measure
SO that the new plan can be made effective
with the 1854 wool crop
Range operators who have stayed with
sheep during the difficult years, and farm
flock operators, will be in the best position
to benefit from the new program.

If crops are normal or better this sea-
son, the grain storage situation will be
critical. Commercial elevator facilities in
most of the terminal districts are COM
paratively full of carry-over grain. Avail
able space will be limited when harvest ar
rives. AS was the case last fall prices will
probably be lower around harvest time than
a few months later. Growers who are short
of farm storage will do well to make pro-
vision for added facilities now instead of
waiting until the rush is on Price support
loans are available only on grain in approved
storage.

Joint congressional committee on the
Economic Report has turned thumbs down
on lower price supports under present con-
ditions The committee took the position
that, regardless of the merits or dement's of
the flexible farm support program as long
range objective, any withdrawal from high
level supports at this time might be dis
astrous to the national economy. This report
will carry great weight in Congress and
may well prove the death blow to the flex-
ible support program during the present
session.

Some of the acreage taken out of
wheat production under the allotment pro-
gram will be planted to barley and oats in
Montana. These grains have IS per cent of
parity support, but approved storage is re
quired in order to get loans. Other farmers
plan to devote diverted acreage to corn,
alfalfa, grass or summer fallow.
Scientists are working on methods of us
