Sc Wool Support
Announced

The Shorn wool incentive price
for the 1856 marketing year will
be 81 cents per pound grease basis,
the same as the price currently
In effect, Leo S. Kolstad, State
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation administrative Off
Ger, has announced. The 1856
wool market year begins April l,
1856.
The 1856 wool incentive price
Will be equivalent to approximate
ly 1867 of the August Is, 1855
parity price for wool. The Act
sets the top incentive level at
11O% Of parity and makes 7O%
of the tariff receipts from wool
available for financing the incen-
tive and support payments.
AS under the current program,
the Department of Agriculture
Will make payments under the
1856 program to producers of
Shorn wool on a percentage of
each producers cash return from
wool sales rather than at a flat
cents-per-poUnd rate, Kolstad x
planned. This is to encourage each
producer to try to get the best
possible price for his wool in the
market, because the size of his
incentive payment will depend
on the net amount he gets in sell
ing his wool. This is also and in
centive to produce high quality
wool, and to sheer and market
the wool in the way that will
best meet market demand.
Pulled wool payments under
the 1856 program will be made
on the marketings of live lambs
and sheep. The rate of payment
will be a certain number of cents
per hundred pounds, liveweight.
of animals sold and will be de-
termined after the price received
for shorn wool by all producers
during the marketing year is
known.
Although wool production de-
clined slightly this year as COM
pared with last ESTIMATED pro-
duction of 228 million pounds this
year as compared with 233 mill
lion pounds last year,, department
officials feel it is too early as
yet to apprasie the full effect of
the present incentive level on
domestic wool production. There
fore, no change in the incentive
level was proposed for the next

MONTANA TIL WEEK"

centagewise, Montana by no
means has reached her agricul-
tural potential, but the laws of
economics - and the laws of
congress - will determine in a
major degree how far our ex-
pansion can proceed in the ag-
ricultural sphere.
So, if Montana is to make con-
spicuous growth in population
it must come from industrial de-
velopment and expansion as the
primary factor. The state has
vast resources in raw materials
and water power, but how to
translate these into an indus
trial economy comparable with
these resources has been an I'M
answered question for decades.
It is contended, but the rail-
roads deny, that a freight rate
structure penalizing Montana is
the biggest retarding force.
Whatever the reason, it is appar-
ent that Montana, the Treasure
state, has much treasure that is
like money drawing no interest.
Even though Montana's popu-
lation growth does not seem to
be measuring UP to the national
rate, it is encouraging to observe
that in the 1865 projection Mon
tana will have gained 114,000
inhabitants in Is years. This
will be about 10000 more than
the 1850 combined population Of
the states three largest cities.
AS to the political effects of
increases and shifts in popula-
ton, it is obvious that the Pa
cific coast states will have a
more powerful voice in nation
al affairs. California with 80,
Washington with nine and Ore
gon with six have a total of
AZ presidential electoral votes,
the same number as New York.
But when California outdistances
New York in population, Cali
fornia will demand first place
in the number of congressman
and as a consequence, the great
est number of electoral votes.
In line with national trends,
Montana's biggest population
gains would be in the industrial
counties, giving these counties
reason to consider themselves
entitled to more representatives
in the lower house of the legis-
lature. But from a partisan po-
litical point of view, the ques-
ton is wider than control of the
legislature: Which political party
will have the advantage in each
of the congressional districts and
in statewide elections? To I'M
dertake to answer this question
would involve one in the haz-
ards of prophesy, or in the as
sumption that the relative
strength and alignments of the
political parties 10 years hence
will be the same as it is today.
Presently I see nothing to in
dictate that in 1865 the heavy
Democratic vote in Silver Bow
and Deer Lodge counties will
not still give the Democratic
congressional nominee in the
first or western district an adj
vantage. In the second or east
ern district Yellowstone county
is likely to be the crucial eIe-
ment in the congressional race
and not improbably in statewide
contests.
If I were to venture an opin-
ion, it would be that in 1856
Montana, politically, will still be
a toss-up state.

in 1865 will be $4,000 or a gain
of 9.8 percent in 10 years, accord
ing to a projection report. The
Montana figure would be a little
more than half of the national in
crease of II percent, which would
give the nation 1872 million in
habitants.
Greatest gain would be in the
Pacific coast states: Washington
26.7 percent, Oregon 1927 percent,
and California 1919 percent, de
throning New York as the most
populous state.
AS to the states bordering Mon
tana, it is calculated that Wyo-
ming would gain 17.6 percent,
Idaho 10.7 percent and South
Dakota 81 percent, while North
Dakota would lose 4 percent. 9th
er states for which population loss
is forecast are Oklahoma 4.8 per-
cent, Arkansas 81 percent and
Mississippi 1.8 percent.
Montana and Idaho would have
the same population in 1865, but
because of the difference in area.
Idaho would have nearly twice as
many persons per square mile.
However, it is risky to make COM
parsons in this realm because ter
rain and other factors, unless they
are reconeiled, may lead to err
roneouS conclusions. But for what
they may be worth, here are
population density projections fol-
1865 based on the u. S. News &
World Report calculations:
Montana - Population 7O5. 900.
area 147,138 square miles, aver
age population per square mile
40 persons.
Idaho - Population 7O5, 900,
area 1854 square miles, average
population per square mile 81
persons.
Wyoming - Population 374,-
600, area 1914 square miles, av-
erage population per square mile
4.02 persons.
North Dakota Population
$4,000, area 70,665 square miles,
average population per square
mile 8.8 persons.
South Dakota Population
10000, area 77,047 square miles,
average population per square
mile 9.3 persons.
It may be noted that the total
area Of the Dakotas is only STA
square miles more than the area
Of Montana.
Accelerated industrialization and
resulting population shifts appear
to be the dominant influences in
population trends, aside, of course,
from the overall national popu-
lation growth. Applying this to
Montana, we find that the three
most populous counties are also
the ranking industrial counties,
although two of these counties II
Yellowstone and Cascade - are
likewise very important agricul-
turally. The other is Silver Bow
county, which is nearly entire
" industrial as distinguished
from agricultural.
I have no population projec-
tions for these counties, so I shall
use the 1850 federal census fig
ures. They show:
Cascade - Population 53,027,
area 2,747 square miles, average
population per square mile 1913
persons.
Silver Bow Population
1922, area 698 square miles,
average population per square
mile $50 persons.
Yellowstone - Population 55,-
875, area 2,7O8 square miles, av-
erage population per square mile
20.2 persons.
1t is of interest that Yellow
stone and Cascade are nearly
equal in area and, as of 1850,
were nearly equal in population.
And these two counties contain
Montana's two largest cities.
The national study indicates
that on the whole the basically
agricultural states are not gain
ing population as rapidly as the
baSically industrial states, per-

OUTDOORS

Frankly, we hesitate to give
advice as to where to fish this
week end because of water con-
ditions. We have had so much
rainfall that practically every
stream is high and muddy. We'd
suggest that before you plan
a trip make sure the water is
fishable. The lower Patuxent
after white perch would be a
good possible and the South and
Severn Rivers as well. Then.
too, there is the. Eastern Shore
to be explored for perch and
crappie fishing, not to say
ponds in Virginia, where the
largemouth bass is fair game at
this season. Then there is Tria-
delphia Reservoir in Maryland
for bluegills and crappie if you
have a Maryland license. If the
Potomac is clear enough, perch
and herring should be running
fairly strong from the Three
Sisters up to Little Falls.
