RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson make it clear that
USDA is planning to penalize wheat of in
ferior milling quality in the future admin
istration of the wheat program.
A new and improved method of testing
the potential bread making quality of wheat
developed by USDA scientists is going to be
tested on broad scale. Preliminary results
indicate that this new method will make it
possible to determine the general quality of
any particular lot of grain in fifteen minutes.
It has also been announced that USDA
is 'favorably considering loan rate dis
count against inferior wheat varieties grown
in 1856" Such program, if finally ap-
proved would be announced well in advance
Of the fall planting season this year.
While the plan to discount inferior wheat
varieties is certainly step in the right di-
rection, it may not prove an unmixed bless
me for Montana producers of premium
wheat.
The wheat growers in other parts of the
United States have been turning more and
more to higher yielding varieties Of lower
milling quality in recent years. This trend
has resulted from the policy of paying essen

AS THE JUNE 25 referendum date
nears, the outcome of the national vote on
wheat quotas for 1856 remains very much in
doubt. Judging from expressions being re-
ceived by Montana Farmer-Stockman from
WheatgroWers, the quotas will be approved
in Montana. But it is far from certain
whether the favorable vote will be as high
as the 81 per cent registered in last years
referendum. Even with heavy favorable
vote in Montana the Dakotas and Minnesota
in 1854, quotas carried nationally by only
a narrow margin over the necessary two
thirds vote)
What farmers will be voting for in the
referendum was clearly outlined by Maurice
G. Taylor in his article "Quotas for 1862"
in the June / issue of Montana Farmer
Stockman Examples were given Of esti-
mated income of typical wheatgrOWer I'M
der the three choices: marketing quotas and
compliance, marketing quotas and non-com-
pliance, and no marketing quotas
Based on the examples given and the
estimated incomes from the three pro-
cedures, Mr.. Taylor's conclusions were as
follows:
eff a person thinks that without quotas
the price of wheat will not drop more than
~ VI IO per CGIlL DClOW W1ldC II WOulu NC
with quotas, he might vote against quotas.
eff he thinks the drop in wheat prices
will be large when quotas are removed, he
might decide to vote for quotas.
sOr if he believes that with quotas the
open market price for wheat will stay close
to the loan level, he may favor quotas even
though he may decide later not to comply
with fhp acreage allotment y
On the basis of the estimates arrived at
by Mr. Taylor, it is difficult to escape the
conclusion that most wheatgrowers would
make more money with marketing quotas in
effect and with the higher support price than
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-06-15
That Wheat Quota Referendum

without marketing quotas and supports at
SO per cent of parity
There is also the general wheat supply
picture to consider. 1t is estimated that on
July l the wheat carry-over will be approx
mately a billion bushels The prospective
wheat supply is nearly 20 per cent above
normal" Unless the surplus is kept under
control and reduced, the wheat situation will
become worse instead of better. For this
reason some growers who dislike controls on
principle will vote for quotas as the best
immediate answer to a bad situation
Of course, there are some growers who
because of disastrously small allotment or
some other circumstance, would clearly be
better off without quotas. Each grower will
have to consider his own Individual situation
in determining how he should vote
There has been some feeling that defeat
of the wheat quotas for 1856 might compel
Congress to enact better and more favor
able program. This, of course, is a posi-
bility. However, Judging from recent ex-
pressions of congressman from farm states,
the outlook for an improved program
through congressional action is quite uncer-
tain. Some congressional observers are of
the opinion that supports under any new
plan that could be enacted now, at best
would be no more than IS per cent of parity.
And there would be no certainty of even this
high a level.
Concern over the outcome of the wheat
quota referendum is being felt not only by
themselves but by producers
of numerous other commodities. Farmers
who grow feed grain such as corn oats, bar
lev and sorghum realize that If wheat prices
sink to feed basis wheat would be in direct
with other feed grains and all
feed prices would suffer. Many livestock
producers fear that surplus of cheap feed
would eventually result in such surplus of
meat that their prices too would be seriously
affected
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-06-15
Loan Discount on Inferior Wheat

tally the same support price for these poorer
varieties, as for superior wheat, under the
Federal program. This has encouraged
growers to produce the variety that would
yield the greatest number of bushels regard
less of milling quality
The shortage of wheat of high protein
content and good milling quality has caused
mil1ers to pay an unusually high premium
for such wheat That is why so many Mon
tana producers have been enjoying prices
well above the general market levels.
IF USDA starts discounting inferior
wheat varieties sufficiently in 1856 to cause
growers in some of the other states to seed
more of the better varieties, superior milling
wheat may not be in such short supply as in
the last few years. And this might have
some lowering effect on premiums.
Turkeys may not be as cheap next fall as
some consumers hoped. Number of poults
Matched up to June 1st was nine per cent
fewer for heavy breeds and % per cent less
for light breed birds as compared with
year ago. Cold storage holdings are also well
below last year and prices are on the up
trend.

Prudent producers are taking long cold
look at each farm and ranch operation to see
how it can be made more efficient and less
expensive. Many are finding that there are
still some cost corners that can be cut.
COmpactiOn of the soil which restricts
the movement of water and air is becoming
a problem in some areas where intensive
cropping is practiced. This soil COM
FACTION is caused by pressure on the
soil surface, especially when fields are too
wet for proper working Under such condi-
TONS traffic with heavy machinery can
cause this trouble. The result is a greater
water run-oM and more erosion. Plant roots
also find it difficult to penetrate such soil.
Research on preservation of food by
atomic radiation is being pushed vigorously.
Tests Of such foods made on animals have
failed to reveal any dangerous qualities.
Tests are now being made with people who
have volunteered to eat radiated food for
two or three months under medical OBJ
seryation. The radiation process produces
disagreeabIe odorS and bad flavOrS in GER
tain foods. Numerous other foods, however,
show no ilI-effects on palatability Foods
treated by this process keep indefinitely
without refrigeration.
Montana wool topped the nations price
in 1854 with an average of 81 cents pound.
This was 2 cents above the 1858 price and
Z cents over the national average. The next
highest ranking states were Texas and Ne
vada with an average price of So cents, Cali
fornia with So cents and Louisiana with Sc
cents. The average US. price was $50 cents.
Hearings on a new sugar quota law
will probably get under way at Washington
about the middle of June. Domestic sugar
growers and professors are insisting on an
quota for the domestic industry.
Cuban and other offshore interests are re-
sisting any reduction in their share of the
US. market USDA is siding with the do
nestle sugar people but the State depart
nent as usual is opposing any reduction in
he offshore quota. The stiff battle going on
nay prevent any action this year.
