we call a natural. background
one that serves as stage setting
for the action being performed by
the person in your picture. A
proud fisherman would probably
look best against the wooded bank
of his favorite stream, the profess
sor at his desk in his book-lined
study. The garden would be a
natural setting for the attractive
young girl carrying a basket of
flowers, the home workshop for
the "do-it-yoursef" weekend car
penter.
Whichever type of background
you choose, however, remember
that color contrast is important for
the best results. Be sure to pose
light subjects against rather dark
backgrounds, and vice versa. You
can readily see that dark green
hedge would be poor background
choice for a dark-haired girl in
black dress-but she would GER
tainly be a stand-out against
white garden-gate or a cream
colored convertible!

CHURCHILL'S NIECE
Lady Eden Returns
To No. 10 DOWNING

LONDON. April 6 R.-In
her younger days politically
conscious Clarissa Spencer
Churchill did more debating
than dating. And at 80 she
made Anthony Eden propose
several times before she said
yes.
The blond, blue-eyed aris-
tocrat is now, at "a, complet-
ing a round trip. AS the niece
of Prime Minister Churchill
she left No. 10 Downing street
to go to her wedding. Now
she goes back as the wife of
Churchill's successor, and the
Edens take over the official
home of British Prime Min
listers.
Like her husband, she has
been understanding her new
job for a long time. Sir An
thony has watched and
learned from Sir Winston dur
ing the years of the latter
Churchill era. Lady Eden has
been studying under Lady
Churchill.
Because of the admiration
she has for Clementine
Churchill it is probable
changes will be few in the
running of the official resi-
dence and in the manner of
serving as hostess for Brit
aims Prime Minister.
Britons generally agree a
Prime Minister'S wife can best
do her job by being OCCASION
ally seen and never heard.
Lady Eden fits the mold. She
would be at home in the line

: Yield Vas High and Protein Content Good

By MAURICE c. TAYLOR

County had an experience. similar to
that related for Nelson. Sievers has
1,O58 acres of cropland and a 1855 wheat
allotment of 369 acres. He ignored his
allotment completely and planted ssh
acres of wheat This acreage produced
IL, 500 bushels of 141k per cent protein
wheat which Sievers figures would sell
for $215.
This would give gross income of
$37, 625. The excess wheat in this case
is estimated at 2,73O bushels. The cash
penalty on $3.50 bushels would be 3d.
O84.9O. leaving an adjusted gross in
come of $34, 540.10.
Had Sievers observed his allotment
he estimates that barley would have
yielded 35 bushels per acre. His allotted
1863 acres of wheat at the yield actually
obtained would have produced 11,72O
bushels worth SOS, 1873. The 1872 acres of
barley would have raised $3.50 bushels
worth 81, 1896 80 Under these conditions
the wheat and barley would have
crossed $29, 593 80; this is So, 946 80 less
than the adjusted gross estimated under
noncompliance.
Compliance Cost $4,000
These two cases are examples in
which the farmer actually gained from
noncompliance. Other farmers who
did comply with the program might
have made more money if they had
overseeded. Here are some examples
of farmers who might fall in this cate
CORY.
Jim Trott farms $40 acres of crop
land near Fort Benton. He complied
with his allotment and harvested 299
acres of winter wheat and 100 acres of
barley. His wheat averaged almost Al
bushels and the barley about AZ bushels
He sold most of his wheat for $178
and the barley should bring about III
cents if he chooses to take loan on it.
These figures give an estimated gross
income of $24, $50, compared to an adj !.
listed gross of about $26,641 under
noncompliance alternative. These
ather conservative estimates indicate
hat Trott would have gained about
2, 900 by seeding all of his 44O base
creage to- wheat.
Lloyd j. Michels of Sheridan County
aid a 690-acre wheat allotment on his
$50 acres of cropland. He harvested
30 acres 500 bushels) of 1415 per
ent protein wheat and $40 acres IA, 500
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-11-15

of crop1and in Valley County. He had
a 215 acre wheat allotment and planted
215 acres of wheat and 95 acres of
barley. His wheat yielded IA bushels
and his barley about 80. His estimated
gross is ST, O48 Had he not complied his
adjusted gross income is estimated at
81, 563, a loss of $485. The reason for
this situation is that the barley yield
was more than double the wheat yield.
Another farmer in Sheridan County had
SO bushel barley and rs busheI wheat,
and would have lost an estimated $28
by noncompliance.
This bit of hindsight tells us that some
farmers gained or could have gained
quite a bit by overseeing as things
turned out for them this year. For some
farmers it didn't make much difference
in their income whether they complied
or not And others would have lost
money by noncompliance. AS we have
pointed out before, a farmers chance to
gain or lose from noncompliance de-
ponds on several things: Cd The price
he can get for wheat and barley in
the open market compared to the loan
rate. % His protein content. go The
yield he can get on wheat relative to
barley and relative to his normal
yield.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-11-15


Farmer-Stockman carried a series of
three articles dealing with the general
problem of wheat allotments and mar
keting quotas These articles dealt with
the question of whether Montana farm
ers would be better off to comply
or not to comply with the allotment
quota program. Now that the crop
year has ended and the returns are all
in we will use little hindsight and
see how farmers actually came out I'M
der various lines of action.
Perhaps we should emphasize again
that we are treating the compliance
problem as an economic, not as an
ethical or legal question We have
pointed out that every farmer has the
legal right to comply or not comply
with the program as he sees fit.
You may remember from previous
articles that under some circumstances
a farmer may be better off if he COM
plies with the allotment program. I'm
der other circumstances he may be
better off to ignore his acreage allot-
ment and overseed. Most Montana
farmers observed their acreage allot-
ment in 1855, but many farmers over
seeded their allotment and made money
by doing SO.
$1,000 More by Overseeing
Take the case of c. w. Nelson who
farms northeast of Plentywood in Sheri-
dan County. Nelson made about So. 700
by overseeing his allotment He has
7G0 o1~oc of o~or1orI ord ~. TArE 10
was allotted 612 acres of wheat Instead
of complying with the allotment he
seeded 791 acres of wheat and 2O6 acres
of barley. Even after the assessment
of $1.13 a bushel for his excess wheat
Nelson came out over So, 700 better
than if he had used all of his excess
land for barley.
Here's how his gross income figured:
(see box)
If Nelson had complied with the pro-
gram he could have had 612 acres of
wheat and 385 acres of barley. If we
assume that the per acre yields would
have been the same, these acreages
would have produced Is, 568 bushels of
wheat and 1902 bushels of barley.
With wheat priced at So 10 and barley
at 20 cents this would have given a
gross income of $48, 1920. This is
;5,711.21 less than the adjusted gross
income calculated under non-com-
,liance.
IF Nelson had ssgone all the way and
'lanted the entire 997 acres to wheat,
he adjusted gross income is estimated
It $50, 127.05. This acreage at the
verage yield of 1904 bushels would
ave produced 3O,249 bushels of wheat
7orth 500, 522 80. From this we must
ubtract 6,545 bushels of excess wheat
1856 excess acres multiplied by the II
ushel normal yield at the penalty
ate of $1.13. The total cash penalty in
lis case amounts to $7,395. 85. This
caves an adjusted gross income of
IS, 127.O5, almost So 900 more than the
ross under compliance
Word of Caution
But word of caution is in order
ere. Along with the chance to gain
rom noncompliance goes the chance
lose. And the gain or loss may be
roportionately related to the amount of
