Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-09-01

THERE ARE uncertainties in the future
outlook for agriculture, as well as for that
of other industries. But a general outline
is shaping up which can serve as a rough
blueprint of what grain farmers may antici-
pate in shaping their farm programs for the
next few years.
Unless war or continued serious drouth
occur, farmers can expect comparatively
tight production controls for several years.
The general pattern has been set for 1855
and it probably will not change very much
for the next two or three years at least. The
acreage allotments on price supported crops,
the cross-cOmpliance regulation and the
newly devised total acreage allotment" give
the producer very little leeway as to the
use ne can make OF diverted acreage.
Unless farmer is prepared to do with
out price supports and submit to severe
penalties for excess marketing, his use of
diverted acreage will be largely restricted
to SummerfallOw pasture and hay crops,
and green manure or cover crops.
Where water and other facilities are
available for cattle or sheep production, the

cipally of unemployment insurance and pub
lie employment offices.
The general aids" item includes, among
other items, public assistance grants to
states and food costs for the school lunch
program
Except for agriculture, these totals do
not include the many highly important bene-
fits enjoyed by different segments of the
economy as a result of price supporting
legislation. The manufacturing industry re-
ceives benefits from tariffs, fair trade laws
and other devices which operate quietly but
nonetheless effectively, And labor has been
able to maintain favorable wage scales
through the help of legislation which has
been enacted over the years.
The principal reason why farm support
program has been necessary has been be-
cause farmers have had to purchase their
labor, equipment and general supplies on
a protected American market If everything
were on free trade basis, farmers would
come out as well as anyone. else and prob
ably better than most But under such a syS-
tenn, open to the competition of much lower
production costs in many other parts of the
world, the American people generally would
be compelled to accept much lower stand
ard of living.
The continuing disadvantage of agricul-
ture in attempting to maintain a degree of
protection comparable to that enjoyed by
other segments Of the economy is that by
reason of the peculiar nature of the farming
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-09-01

ducerS, farm support programs and farm
support legislation are continually in the
public eye. A tariff or a favorable labor law
may cause considerable discussion at the
time of its enactment, but once passed, it
can operate quietly and effectively for many
years.
AS long as farm support programs must
function in veritable goldfish bowl, they
will be subject to continual attacks and
misrepresentation.
Another handicap under which agricul-
tural producers must operate in their efforts
to maintain equality of opportunity under
the American system is the inevitable con-
flict of interest between different agricul-
tural groups. Dairy producers and livestock
feeders are interested in cheap feed and
are naturally cool toward support programs
which will maintain higher level of prices
for grains and other feed supplies.
On the other hand, specialized producers
of basic crops like wheat, cotton, tobacco,
etc., are not particularly interested in pro-
grams that would have the effect of main
tanning higher price levels for meat, dairy
products and other things they consume.
These are some of the reasons why in
dividual farmers, as well as farm organiza-
tons, do not speak with one voice when farm
support programs are under consideration.

I'm a Goldfish Bowl

ONE EFFECT of the fight against high
level farm supports has been to leave the
general public with the impression that
agriculture is about the only segment Of
the economy to receive government sub
sides. Or at least is being supported to a
far greater extent than any other group.
Actually, the agricultural subsidies have
been comparatively modest.
Under the heading of government aids
and special services" the Bureau of the
Budget reports the following totals for the
period 1949-1955 with the last two years Of
this period estimated): Veterans, $32,687,-
100000; general aids, $3.50 900 900; bust
ness, $5,873, 100000 agriculture, $3,773,-
100000, and labor 1.435 100000.
The figure representing ''aids to agricul-
ture" includes losses on price support pro-
grams, payments for removal of surplus
commodities and administrative expenses of
loan programs, expenses Of international
wheat agreement and other aids to farmers.
Costs of aid through loans at favorable in
terest rates, soil conservation payments, rec
Iamation aids and certain others are not
included in this total.
Included in the "aids to business total
are applicable portions of the postal deficit,
maritime operation subsidies and other aids
to the shipping industry, aid to air naviga-
ton and net losses on defense production
aids. The total does not include expenses
to stimulate housing construction, provide
lower cost electric power and control floods.

NEW 4ONh, AGlODdl)-
Dear Miss Ball:
| watched mother from my
window the other day, vigorously
pushing her year-old son back and
forth in his stroller, while arguing
with her eight-year-old boy, who
stood just beyond reach, yelling at
her, apparently wanting his way
about something. The mother
threatened, cajoled, and even
chased him, but shouting back, he
went ons to do what he had started
to do. 1 could not help wondering
about various other aspects of this
family's life, and how those chill
dren will grow up. Maybe l am all
wrong, but l think this mother has
the wrong approach. Do you
agree?
Willie, Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Willie:
From the picture you paint, this
mother is truly creating problems
for herself, and for her boys later
in life. Although it might be advis-
able for him to explain his position,
youngster should not get away
with arguing with his mother as
you describe it, or doing as he
pleases. The incident exhibits lack
of parental control, which can
hardly be gained later.
There are times when parents
should reason with their children,
but never argue with them. Par
ents teach their children respect
best by showing respect. Also, the
spirit of the home is reflected in
childs behavior. A well-regulated
home where parents feel secure,
means that children will feel like
wise. Some children are wiser than
their parents realize. They really
do not want all parental authority
relinquished, but they often will
test a parent and take the cue from
there.
If this boys mother does not
handle him with firmness and un-
derstanding, he will grow up being
an argumentative, selfish, deter
mined person who cannot get along
without having his own way. Here
is a case where the fahter could
help. This boy is probably only hav-
ing interests and reactions that are
normal for his age, but which his
mother neither understands, nor
has the time or energy for.

CAN OR FREEZE
PEACHES NOW

PEACHES NOW
Notice those delicious looking
peaches coming into the markets
now? Why not put some up for
next winter. Frozen or canned,
they'll taste mighty good.
Look for Elbertas, Early Elber-
taS, Golden Elberta Clings, Hale
Havens, South Havens, and Golden
Globes, suggests Elsie H. Morris,
extension nutritioniSt at the Uni
versity of Arizona. These varieties
are recommended for both freezing
and canning.
For freezing peaches, first make
the syrup and pour it into mOis-
ture, vapor-proof containers before
working on the peaches. To make
the syrup, mix two cups of sugar
with two cups of water and heat
until the sugar disSolves. Then,
chill the syrup before using. Add
one teaspoon of citric acid or the
juice from one lemon to each quart
of syrup to keep peaches from
turning brown.
Fill containers 4 full of chilled
syrup. One pound of peaches gives
one pint of sliced peaches. Two
cups of sugar and two cups of
water make enough syrup for six
pints of sliced peaches.
Scald peaches in boiling water
for 80 seconds. Then, put them in
cold water for 80 seconds. This
loosens the skins. Peel the peaches
under cold water to keep them
from turning brown.
Slice peaches into the ready
containers. Fill container to u
Of an inch of the top. Cover
peaches with syrup and lay piece
of crumpled, waterproof paper on
top. This holds peaches under the
syrup. Wipe the edges of the con-
tainer and put the top on. Freeze
and store peaches at 0 degrees F..
or below.
Peaches can be frozen by adding
two cups of sugar to six cups of
fruit, instead of using a syrup. But,
add citric acid to the sugar before
putting it on the fruit. Mix the
citric acid and sugar by sitting
once.
For cold or hot pack canning, the
syrup is the same. To make it, add
one cup of sugar to two cups of
water and boil this for five min
utes.
Peel peaches the same as for
freezing. To keep fruit from dark
ening, mix one gallon of water,
two tablespoons of salt, and two
tablespoons of vinegar. Drop
peaches into this for a minute, and
then drain.
For cold-pack canning use clean,
hot glass jars. Pack the peach
halves-pit-side down-up to y
an inch of the jar top. Cover them
with boiling syrup. Remove air
bubbles by running a knife down
the inside of the jar.

for social security. The other
two per cent paid by the en-
ployer is sent to the Director of
Internal Revenue, along with a
list showing wages and social
security account number of each
employee.
The tax for the farm owner,
or operator is three per cent of
their earnings. They paid this
once each year along with their
income tax. The tax for both
worker and employer is paid
only on first $4,000 of wages.
For those coming under social
security for the first time, the
first and most important step
to take is to obtain a social Sc
curity card from the nearest
social security office.
Self employed farmers DO not
pay tax on 1854 earnings. Early
in 1856 you make a social Sc
curity report of your 1855 earn
-Lngs and pay the tax nn. them.
This report is part of your in
come tax return. The amount re-
ported is on Net earnings or pro
lit, after subtracting all farm
expenses from total receipts.
For farm workers-if YOU
earn SIS from one farmer and
SIS from another this would not
count toward social security.
You must earn at least Sl00
from one employer to have your
wages count. So if you earn $l00
from one, and SITS from another
and so on, these wages would
count toward your social Sc
curity benefits.

The new act is expected to

Hospital management is big

establish the general policy and
assist the management by decid-
ing ON the merit and advisability
of recommendations for man
agement. 1t should be the con
stant endeavor of the individual
members of the Board and the
management to improve the
hospital facilities to make pro-
vision for and incorporate new
and advanced medical techni-
ques, and to keep up to date on
all the latest and most scienti-
