porting on a June l survey.
On May / the total was 1884,

"In the last few weeks it has
become apparent that a vast
number of new cars has settled
into the hands of used car and
non-franchised dealers.
Apart from any question as
to whether this is or isn't a dan

Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-12-15

MONTANA SUSTAINED a much small
er percentage drop in number of farms and
ranches from 1850 to 1854 than the country
as a whole In fact, only five states sur
passed Montana In having smaller percent
age loss in number during this period.
Preliminary reports of the 1854 Census
of Agriculture show that there were 600,-
900 fewer farms in the United States in
1854 than in 1850. The total in 1854 was
4,782, 1913, or 11196 less than the 1850 to-
tai. The national percentage decrease in
number of farms during this five-year period
was greater than for any other census period
for which records are available.
In 1850 Montana had 35,085 farms and
ranches. In 1854 the number was 33,059.
This was a reduction of only $3.50 as COM
pared with the national average of 11.1e0.
The only states showing a smaller loss were
Idaho, 1890; Iowa. $50; North Dakota, $3.50
and Utah, $500. Florida was the only state
in the Union to show an increase in the num-
Der of farms with a rise of ITO.
The greatest decline in number of farms
during this latest census period occurred in
the eastern part of the United States and IN
the South For the country as a whole, al
most half OF the decrease IN number OF
farms occurred i'm those OF less than so acres
in size. About 2 70 of the decrease since 1850
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-12-15
Montana Leads the Way

was with farms having valuation of farm
products sold of less than 81 200.
Among the states showing the largest de-
crease since 1850 are Maine, 1870; New
Hampshire, 1920; Massachusetts,, 1920; Ar
kansas, 2096; Connecticut, 1870; Alabama
1870; and Oklahoma, 1870.
When the relatively small reduction in
Montana is compared with similar data for
previous census periods, it seems clear that
farm numbers in Montana are tending to
level out. The peak was in 1920 when Mon
tana had ST GIT farms and ranches. The to-
tai in 1925 showed a reduction of 1870.
A small increase in number of farms in
the state occurred in the late '20s and early
'30s but decrease of IL. 800 was registered
in 1910 as compared with 1885 Farm num-
bers went down another 9.7e6 from 1910
to 1915 and 100 from 1915 to 1850.
The drastic readjustments in farm sizes
and development of economic family units
in previous years accounts for the compare
tive stability of farm and ranch numbers in
Montana today. 1t seems possible that con-
tinued irrigation development in the future
may counteract the trend toward larger
farm sizes which is still under way in some
districts of the state and that the number of
farms and ranches may remain around the
present level.
The trend toward larger farm and ranch

Changes in the Farm Program

THERE ARE CLEAR-CUT indications
from Washington that the administration
is going to move more positively in the direc-
ton of strengthened farm program than
appeared likely few weeks ago. It is now
known that Secretary Benson will propose
to Congress soil bank plan designed to
take about 10000 900 acres of land out of
crop production in 1856 If the plan proves
effective, it might result in the retirement
of as much as 25,000,000 acres during the
next few years.
Under the proposal which would be en-
tirely voluntary, farmers could sign five
year contract under which the government
would agree to pay the cost of installing
soil conserving grass or cover crops on land
taken out of production of such surplus
crops as wheat, cotton and corn.
Farmers would be able to use this di-
verted acreage for pasturing livestock The
government would also make incentive pay
ments to the farmer to compensate him in
part for the money he might have made on
his crops There would be a definite limit,
perhaps $4,000, on the amount of income
payments to an Individual farmer. These
payments would be based on 500 or go of
the value of the land The effectiveness of
such program would depend upon the ex-
tent to which farmers decide to take advan-
tage of it.
USDA officials are also exploring the
idea of restoring 5000 price supports on
stop quality products. This preferential
treatment for quality production is being
studied with particular reference to the
1856 wheat crop. Such change of policy
might be of special importance to Mon
tana growers because a substantial part of
the states wheat production would pre-
sumably be classified as stop quality"
Wheat which normally attracts premium
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-12-15

because of its high milling quality would
surely come in this category.
It is also understood that USDA is Civ
ing serious consideration to proposed
change in the crop control law which would
put $4,000 to $25, 900 limit on price sup
porting loans to any individual Those who
advocate this policy contend that it would
save hundreds of millions of dollars in tax
money, would give relatively more encour-
agement to family-type farms than the pres
ent program, and would discourage surplus
production of commercial farmers.
Some USDA men oppose such plan on
the grounds that it would constitute class
legislation. They feel that it might even be
unconstitutional to limit price support for
farmers who are compelled to stay within
acreage allotmentS in order to qualify for
such support. There is also the probability
that If such a law were in operation, the
larger operators would stay out of the pro-
gram and produce to the limit to an even
greater extent than is now the case.
Whatever may be the final outcome, it is
clear that the political heat is on in earnest
in Washington and that strong efforts will
be made to ssdo something for the farmers"
before election time. There is going to be
lot of maneuvering on both sides of the
political fence in Congress and it is quite
possible that any important changes in the
farm program will come too late to have
much effect on 1856 operations
Regardless of what may or may not be
done in Washington the success of most
individual farmers and ranchers in COM
batting the cost-price squeeze will probably
depend more upon their ability to step up
the efficiency of their operations than upon
any improvements in the federal farm pro-
gram.

sizes also may slow mp I'm the future Average
size of farms and ranches in Montana in 1920
was SOB acres BY 1925, IL had increased to
698 acres. 1t took big jump in the next five
years and the 1880 census showed an av-
erage of 94O There was little change. from
1880 to 1885. but by 1910 the average had
risen to LILO.
BY far the biggest increase in average
size occurred between 1910 and 1915 with
an increase to ], 557 acres, or 1920 over the
1910 average. 1t rose to /, 688 acres by 1850
and to I, $50 acres in 1854.
AS the census data show, few states have
equalled the progress made by Montana in
to farm and ranch units of the
size needed for efficient use of
modern power equipment

IL winter precipitation in Montana con-
tinueS at anything like the rate of recent
weeks, the snow accumulation in the noun
tains should be of record proportions. This
would mean an abundance of irrigation wa
ter in most districts. Some of the old timers
used to contend that lots of snow in the
mountains meant favorable rains during the
following crop season. Their theory was
that snow reserves remaining in the higher
attitudes in late spring and early summer
cooled the west winds enough to increase
precipitation.
