trazimo, kao nikada do sada,
put k miru. Ina mnogo laz-
nih puteva, ali ma mama je,
da pronadjemo konacno pra-

lahkom i brzom razoruzanju
o zabrani atomskog oruzja.
Je Ii razoruzanje obmana ?
Iskustvo kaze, da jeste.
Ruski car, Nikolaj II, sa-
zvao je 1898. godine konfe-
renciju "a razoruzanje u Hag,
(u NizozemskoD. On je pie

ratnim brodovima zabrani, da
ma provi nose uredjaj (rams)
kojim bi presjekli neprijatelj-
ske brodove. Drzao je, da je
presijecanje drugih brodova
suvise okrutno, jer da mu je
posljedica "ubijanje u masa-
ma. Sto Sc desilo S ovim ma
stojanjem, da rat postane
"eovjecanskiji" Nista.
Pitanje razoruzanja pokre-
nuto je opet ma mornarickoj
konferenciji u Washingtonu
1921, a onda ma jednakoj kon-

1916. godine u Ujedinjenim

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Factors to
be watched in the cattle outlook,
say USDA insiders, include drought
condition first of all. If it becomes
worse, markets are sure to be under
heavy pressure in the case of low
grade stuff. Fed cattle may be
harmed little but there are other
worries on this score.
Outlook next fall is for plenti-
full supplies of both hogs and
poultrY-which could be added
competition for beef. With recent
favorable feed prices. livestock
men point out. there is the
chance that feed lots next fall
will be overcrowded.
In general, for this year, depart
ment economists look for livestock
products with some exceptions such
as eggs and milk to bring prices
about equal to those of last year.
Farm income generally, the depart
ment now says, probably will be
down from per cent to per cent
below 1858. Crop prices could be off
as much as 10 per cent, the forecast
ers think.
Cattle price factors include the
prospect that culling of dairy herds
may be heavier than usual-due to
lower dairy price support. This could
put additional pressure on prices for
lower grades of beef.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-01
BLENDED" PRICES?

Best bet. now. for unloading
dairy stocks. say insiders. is sale
to professors at heavy govern
ment loss TO allow retail sale of
surplus and new butter at
blended price of about As cents
per pound.
Retailers, in session here with
farm leaders, have said it will take
this price to attract consumer mar
garine money. But talk in trade cir
cles is that margarine makers would
then cut prices hard.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-01
MEXICAN IMPORTS?

Some added effects" can be
expected in cattle markets when
the Mexican border is re-opened
for imports into this country.
say USDA insiders. Agriculture
Secretary Benson has directed
that the border be opened next
Dec. 3l-if there hasn't been a
new outbreak of foot
disease in Mexico in the mean
time.
Once before, early last year, the
department thought foot-and-mouth
was finally licked down South of
the Border. But in May another out
break of the disease was discovered
in Veracruz. Now, the experts think,
that one has been stamped out" and
they have their fingers crossed, hop
ing there won't be another one.
Normally imports from Mexico
have amounted to about one-half
million head of cattle yearly. Most
of these have gone to western ranges,
and eventually into feed lots.

PROPS. CONTROLS LIKELY

Continued pressure of heavy
supplies on farm markets in
creases the likelihood of strong
price supports. and production
controls. farm leaders in Wash
ington believe. USDA already
has plans for keeping surplus
crops under quotas and allot-
mems for next year.
To make controls effective, spe-
cial funds probably will be voted to
encourage conservation use of acres
taken out of production. Benson &
Co. already have asked for $55 mil
lion in added ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
funds for calendar year 1855 for this
purpose.
Congress is likely to go along on
this-and may increase the amount.
Ninety per cent price support for
the ''basic" crops is thought almost
sure for at least another year. Legis-
lation was in a tangle on Capitol Hill
as this issue went to press-but most
farm lawmakers were agreed strong
price props would be maintained.

also been taken, with an average of
14.5 tons per acre at 20 per cent
moisture.
Since the station has only recently
been established, long time aver
ages are not available from the East
ern Montana Branch Station, but in
1852 the average. grain yield for the
variety test was 110.7 bushels per
acre and the average silage yield
was 14.3 tons per acre. In 1858 the
average grain yield was ITO bushels
per acre and the average silage yield
1875 tons per acre.
Variety trials conducted in West
ern Montana by the Northwestern
Branch Station, Creston, and the
Horticultural Branch Station, Cor
wallis, show that silage yields of II
to Is tons per acre can be obtained
in these areas. In the mountain val
leys of Western Montana production
of corn for grain is not promising.
Variety trials grown on dryland
for the past two years at the Central
Montana Branch Station, Moccasin,
have produced an average of As tons
of silage per acre. Corn in the dry
land rotations at this station has over
period of 40 years produced
fodder yield of is tons which when
converted to silage yields would
equal 3.75 tons per acre.
Through a breeding program
which is conferred at the Huntley
Branch Station it is expected that
inbred lines will be developed which
will lead to better performing va
rieties for Montana. In 1858 total
of 8 flint and dent inbred lines
were combined into 81 experimental
hybrids of dent, flint and semiflint
types. These experimental hybrids
will be grown in dryland and irri-
gated yield trials this year.
1t is anticipated that some of these
hybrids will excel under dryland
conditions and others will produce
high yields of storable grain under
irrigation. Many livestock growers
and feeders in Eastern Montana con-
slider corn silage as their best feed
crop.
Corn silage will yield tremendous
amount of carbohydrates per acre.
A dryland yield of tons per acre
will produce 1850 pounds of carbohy-
drates which is roughly equal to 2.5
tons of alfalfa hay or As bushels of
barley. A silage yield of Is tons per
acre would yield 1000 pounds of
carbohydrates per acre, which is
about the same amount present in
either rs tons of alfalfa hay or 1872
bushels of barley.
Corn silage is, however, low pro-
tein feed and in most feeding opera
tons would require experimentation
A 15-ton per acre silage yield would
produce approximately $50 pounds Of
protein per acre which would be
equalled by rs tons of alfalfa hay
or so bushels of barley.
The corn plant is rapidly grow
ing midsummer plant which will re
ward good farmers in many areas O.
the state with an abundance of gooC
feed either as grain or silage.
