Help to Plan
Landscapes

If you want your home land
scape to look pretty as a picture,
start taking pictures Of it.
Good color slides of trees,
lawns and gardens can be in
valuable for future planning of
the landscape, according to NJ. V.
Staples, field representative for
the Davey Tree Expert Co. Color
negatives taken at various
seasons and properly dated can
help the home owner plan artistic
and colorful gardens on a year
around basis.
Long-range shots rather than
close ups are best for planning
purposes. These should include
some general views of the kind
the passing public might see.
Don't just include the good spots.

tive areas with show you how to
improve them. This also applies
to pictures taken during the off
season.
Trees, foundation stones of any
h o m e garden arrangement,
should not be overlooked by the
home garden photographer. Too
many trees will result in sad
looking borders, lawns and peren-

age. Also, the increased life ex-
pectancy makes it more worth
while to give a youth a long
period of preparation for his
career.
AT the other end of the age
scale, the average American can
now anticipate about SO years in
retirement, as compared with
only "a years in 1900. The NAM
explained that these figures in
clude both the conventional re-
tirement at age 65 to which we
are now accustomed, and involun-
tary retirements due to disability,
which can occur at any age. In
1900 conventional retirement was
almost unknown and practically
all men worked until they died
or were disabled. 1t should also
be pointed out that the averages
include individuals who die be-
fore they retire and hence have
zero hours of retirement.
All of these striking changes
during the half-century, 10000

Average Man Gains Extra
Decade of Work Since 1900

The average working life of
the American male has been in
creased by 10 years since 1900,
according to study made by the
National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The increase in the length of
working lives has been from 32.l
years in 1900 to 419 in 1850,
These averages would be greater
except for the fact, the NAM
pointed out, that they include in
dividuals who die during their
working years and hence never
reach retirement.
Although the average Amer
lean gets his first job at a later
age than used to be common, and
although he typically has more
years in retirement, he also, para
doxically, spends many more
years on the job, the NAM report
explained. The lengthening of
life which has occurred during
the present century permits indi-
viduals to spend more years in
every phase of their life history.
The average boy baby born in
1850 could expect to spend 1T
years in the preparatory period
before entering the labor force.
This is four years longer than his
counterpart born in 1900 could ex-
pect to spend before setting out
for his first job. The increasing
prosperity of the nation makes it
possible for families to keep chill
dren at school to a much later

others came pretty close to making the
grade.
What the experts are seriously trying to
do is develop a strain of turkey hens that
will lay unfertilized eggs containing poten-
tial gobblers. BY careful selection in breed
ing, they expect eventually to be able to
produce a super-robust bird by crossing
fatherless males with their mother hens.
Not to be outdone, livestock breeders at
the Beltsville farm are endeavoring to de-
velop strain of cattle that will give lots of
milk and still produce steers yielding high
grade beef. They have already developed
number of Milking Shorthorns which pro-
duce high milk yields and also steers whose
carcasses are of superior grade. They are
encouraged to believe they will be success
full in developing dual purpose cattle that
will surpass any of the dual purpose types
available today.

Fatherless Turkeys on the Way?

ARTIFICIAL DISSEMINATION with cat
tie has long since passed the experimental
stage This method of breeding is being used
extensively by the dairymen throughout
Montana as well as all over the United
States and many other countries.
Now poultry specialists at the federal
experiment station at Beltsville, Maryland,
are trying to raise turkeys without even a
test tube for father. In fact they have al
ready produced one such bird and they are
confident that they can produce more.
To prove that such unheard of reproduc-.
ton could actually take place, the poultry
research men locked eighty turkey hens
away from males The only key to their pens
never left the hands of the conscientious
men in charge. Eight weeks later over Us
of the $500 eggs laid by the mateless hens
showed embryonic growth. One fatherless
turkey was Matched alive and numerous

with this changed population picture
has come change in attitude says Frank
M. Atchley, agricultural consultant to Gro
Gerry Manufacturers of America. Whereas
in the past many millions of our population
were deeply sympathetic toward the farmer
and his problem, we today are developing
a definite urban consciousness and efforts
are made from time to time to align certain
urban groups against agriculture in gen
eral.'
Isn't it about time our big national farm
organizations developed a joint public rela-
tons program for agriculture and backed it
with enough financial support to make it
really tick?

A Defense Stockpile Of Wheat

when World War III started was far larger
than the average carry-over had been in pre-
vious years. But it proved none too large.
Had it not been available, this country and
our allies would have faced desperate food
situation. When we consider the possibility
of some future combination of a great war
emergency and a year or two of severe
drought in the major wheat producing ter
ritory of the United States, billion bushel
defense stockpile of wheat might prove none
too large.
Precious as this stockpile would be I'M
der such circumstances, it is now being ham
died in such way that it greatly complexities
the price support problem.
There may be some question as to the
proper size of the defense Stockpile of
wheat. A billion bushels may be more than
necessary for this purpose. But whether the
defense granary is set at 100000 bush
els, 800, 900, 900 or a billion, this reserve
supply should be permanently sealed off by
legislative action in such manner that il
would have no depressing effect on the do
nestle market.
This procedure coupled with the con-
tinuance of realistic production control
program would go a long way toward solving
the wheat supply problem.

A Press Agent for Agriculture

WHAT AGRICULTURE needs as much
as anything else right now is a good press
agent. Too many people are hearing too
many things that aren't true about farm and
ranch folks. The average city person still
seems to feel that farmers have a direct
pipeline to the federal treasury, that they
are guaranteed good income and that they
are being subsidized to far greater extent
than any other segment of the economy un-
der the American protective system.
Part of this lack of understanding is due
to the tremendous shift of population from
country to city. Less than 100 years ago only
1870 of the nations population lived in
cities. Today only 1870 of the population
lives on farms

Gently, sthe production from the minimum
allotment of 100000 acres would, with
average weather conditions, result in an an

a slow reduction in our carryover stocks.
Domestic wheat consumption plus ex-
ports now total about 100000 bushels.
The wheat carry-over on July |, 1855, was

The number of farm families in the

average annual rate of about $50, 900 during
the past five years. Non-farm households
have been increasing at the rate of about
10000 600 year during this same period.
The percentage of distribution of house

Montana is about 209o.
