HEW claims that this carmark-

would if state health authorities
had more freedom in use of the

to make unified public health

THE AMERICAN WAY
Overwhelming Superiority


nations have been able TO accurn-
ulate by and for themselves and
to store away against a rainy day,
is a mighty good barometer of
their comparative standards of
living. At the outbreak Of World
War II, here is how Uncle Sans
nephews and nieces stood on life
insurance holdings in comparison
with the peoples of the leading
totalitarian countries of that
time. Life insurance per capita
was as follows:
United States $84l
Germany t05
Japan II
Italy 81
Russia-Only government
insurance
AS 10 deposits in saving banks
per capita. at the start of World
War II, the United States was
also very far in the lead, as the
following statistics demonstrate:
United States $573
Germany ia
Japan 81
Italy 81
RusSia--No figures
available.
Another indication Of Americas
overwhelming superiority is that
the average American regards so
many things as CommonplaceS
that the peoples of Fascist and
Communist countries consider
luXuries, because in these latter
nations they are only available to
the very wealthy For example,
millions Of American working
men own. automobiles, thing un-
heard of in totalitarian countries.
At the outbreak of World War
II, for every ! million population,

mobile owners:
United States 226,068
Germany 24,800
Italy, 1929
| Japan 1882
For Russia, even then behind
the Iron Curtain, no figures were
available, but it is common
knowledge that workers in the
Soviet Union, now as then, do not
own automobiles. Only few of
the top Russian bureaucrats pos
sess a car which the average
American considers part and par
eel of his way of life.

Critical of Rigid Supports

the annual presidents banquet. Nov.
IS. Rigid price supports undermine the
basis of American freedom, he as
serted.
Intelligent farmers, WoolIey said. are
aware that commodities that have not
been supported are better off than those
that have been. He said those supported
are worse off because the supports de-
Stroy their markets.
AS examples he pointed to consump-
ton of butter which he said has dropped
from an average of 16 to 8 pounds and
what he called the potato fiasco. When
potatoes were supported they brought
an average of $1.32 bushel but today
average $1.52.
Hog producers, he said, resisted
drive for price supports and the price
went up as high as 12O per cent of par
ity. This never would have been pos
sible if hogs had been supported at
80 per cent. Instead, he said, it would
have resulted in a surplus which would
have been threat as long as it existed.
The Farm Bureau organization,
Woolley said, is fighting for farmers
to get the highest possible real income.
The answer, he said, is to produce for
the market because sooner or later the
market will catch up with the price.

PUSH 2-PRICE PLAN

The two-price plan for supporting
wheat markets is far from dead, de-
spite its failure to get through Con-
gress this past year. The National
Grange is pushing the twin-support
idea harder than ever.
At its annual convention recently,
the Grange repeated its strong stand
for the two-price plan Zone support

lower support level for wheat sold

WHEAT EXPORTS

Washington is optimistic that
some of the cOuntry's wheat stocks
can be worked off under the new
Agricultural Trade Development &
Assistance Act. This law authorizes
sale of us. SURPRISES abroad for
payment in foreign currencies. In
addition, the Act permits outright
grants of surplus foods to countries
in need.
Wheat, along with cotton, has been
in the limelight in negotiations already
started with various countries. Insiders
here figure that wheat exports this
season can be boosted by some 10 to
Is per cent above last. Exports under
the new Act are supposed to be in
addition to whatever would be shipped
abroad otherwise.

ton. An Agriculture Department sur
vey shows that butter sales have been
going up, and margarine down. Com
pared with the same months last year,
housewives bought per cent more
butter in April-September this year
and 6 per cent less margarine.
Still more aggressive promotion, mar
keting and research are expected to be
recommended by Secretary Benson as
the only sound way out of the gov
eminent dairy mess. Higher price sup
port, he observes, would only ''in-
evitably lead to even greater control
and regulation"

Keeping in Touch With Washington
Controls May Be Eased,
Feed Supports Reduced
G@fn

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Two moves of
special Importance to ranchers and
farmers were under close study by
USDA'S top officials as this issue went
to press: Cd Further easing of acreage
controls for 1855, and (2) reduction in
1855 price supports for feed grains.
Price support this year for oats,
barley, rye and grain sOrghums has
been IS per cent of parity. Benson,
about the time you read this, was
expected to announce a reduction
for next year-perhaps to as low as
IS or 20 per cent. Under present
law price props under these grains
may be anywhere from zero to 80
per cent of parity.
AS to acreage controls, there appears
to be at least an outside chance that
compliance will be eliminated for
next year. If this step is taken, most
farmers will find next years controls
no sitter than this year. Exceptions
would be one-crop wheat growers who
found it impractical to plant diverted
acres to alternative crops.)>
Cross compliance would require a
grower to stay within each allotment,
or to forfeit price support on all allot-
ment crops. It's good bet that certain
remaining features of the controls pro-
gram for SIS will be eased-even if
USDA does not knock out cross-com-
pliance entirely.

Winter Fair Dates
Are March 5-l2

GATES OF THE 1855 Winter Fair at
Bozeman will open Saturday, March S,
for Saturday through Saturday run
of the event, according to Howard G.
Lewis, Bozeman, president of the fair
association.
Fair Manager George Slime predicts
fully as many entries as in preceding
years and, in some categories, more
than before. Those divisions which are
expected to attract additional numbers
include the rabbit show, the tractor
jockey contest and the swine, sheep and
dairy shows.
The Montana Winter Fair has right
fully gained its place as an outstanding
winter exposition.

MORE SCS CHANGES?

Congress is not likely to go along
with any moves to transfer USDA's
Soil Conservation Service to the
states. Opposition of local soil con-
servatiOn districts to further SCS
changes would be sure to arouse a
storm of protest on Capitol Hill.
There is, however, another plan in
the works for shifting SCS to the states.
1t has been worked out by task force
of the Presidents Commission on Inter-
governmental Relations. This Commits
sion, due to expire next March, was set
up to examine the whole field of re-
lationships among federal, state and
local governments.
Leakage" of the task force recon-
mendations (not yet accepted or re-
Jected by the full Commission revealed
the transfer plan. Shift to states would
be carried out over Swear period, and
state colleges given increased federal
aid. Insiders who have worked on the
report tell us that there is no intention
of putting Extension Service into a
dominant position in conservation work.
"SCS ITSELF" said one of the planners,
would become a kind of extension
service"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-12-01
WESTERNERS NAMED

There was no concrete evidence
at press time that Agriculture Sec
rotary Benson would try to appease
Southern Democrats (who win be
in charge of most congressional
committees) by appointment of
Southerners to top jobs at USDA.
Recent Benson appointments con-
tinue to reflect his background and
interest in the West.
For his new Assistant Secretary. he
has named Erwin L. Peterson, former
director of agriculture in Oregon and
a dairyman. Peterson replaces j. Earl
Coke who has returned to his Job as
California'S extension director.
Another Oregonian, Milan D. Smith,
Pendleton, has been named executive
assistant to the Secretary. Smith is an
executive of two frozen. food companies
in Oregon, and, with his brother, owns
a 64O-acre farm in southern Idaho.
Smith replaces Lorenzo N. Hopes,
who left USDA to return to his Job
with Safeway Stores in Oakland, Calf.

35tb AznnaI Contention
State Farm Bureau
Reflects DiebI, OKs Farm Plan,
Organizes Commodity Committee


water use, field crops, dairy and live
stock, was an innovation of program
set up at the 35th annual convention of
the Montana Farm Bureau at MisSoula,
Nov. 1920
Members of the newly created COM
modify committees are:
Land and water use-Bruce circuit,
Miles City; John Paugh, Bozeman, and
Leonard Wing, Toston.
Field crops-Harry Helfert, Helena;
Max Maberry, Floweree, and Bob Len
hardt, Billings.
Dairy-Farry Dore, Missoula; James
Mcpherson, Stevensville, and Lawrence
Moore, Bohemian.
Livestock-Ed Adams ST., Melville;
Bill Gillin, Forsyth, and Dale Metlen,
Armstead.
Principal duties of the commodities
groups as outlined by Bill Howard of
Bozeman, executive secretary, in pre-
senting the proposed program to the
convention will be to study problems
and outline recommendations for con-
sideration as Bureau policies and to
compromise internal differences on
commodity issues so that united front
can be presented.
Diehl Reelected
George Diehl of East Helena was re-
elected state president of the Montana
Farm Bureau. l. Thayer Stevens of
Harlowton was reelected vice presi-
dent, and Walter Bromenshenk of Bill
Gngs and Ted Sorenson of Dutton were
reelected directors.
Mrs. Paul Reese of Belgrade was re-
elected president of the Montana Asso-
ciated Women. Mrs. Howard Bodine of
Livingston was reelected secretary and
Mrs. Fred Sasse of Clyde Park was
elected vice president.
President Diehl, in his keynote ad-
dress before the more than 200 dele
gates in attendance at the convention,
reported that in an intensive 2-day drive
last May membership in the Montana
Farm Bureau had increased from l.
500 to 1908.
Encourage Industry
Diehl characterized the Farm Bureau
as the only organization whose leaders
fight for what farmers and ranchers
are thinking. He urged lower freight
rates and taxes to encourage industries
to come into Montana, more federal
help in the construction of highways in
states of large area and small popula-
ton such as Montana.
Later the convention adopted a reso-
luton recommending federal legislation
giving sparsely populated states with
extended road mileages more road
money than states with smaller mile
ages and termination of the federal
gasoline tax so that this source of
revenue might be available to states.
Applaud Farm Program
The Bureau also adopted a resolution
applauding the farm program passed
by the 83rd Congress and commencing
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson for supporting it.
Other resolutions adopted recon-
mended:
The eventual elimination of all price
supports; greater return to states
rights; commentator for congressional
efforts toward decentralization; the
