New Comic Strip
Half Acre Castle
Starts Next Week

Look forward to meeting new
neighbors, the Barlows, next
week.
They're the family that arrives
on this newspapers comic page
in the strip, HALF ACRE CAS-
TIE, by John Milt Morris. Like
millions Of other American fam
lilies in towns and cities all over
the country, the Barlows are
proud owners of modest dream
castle.
Following their daily antics,
you may find that the Barlows
bear a striking resemblance to the
folks next door-or even to your
own family. The man Of the
house, Steve Barlow, for instance,
is really proud of his 20-year
mortgage and his right to tumble
about the castle, outdoing the ''do-
it-yourself' expert next door. His
wife Jan, and daughters Sue and
10, add to the fun. They run into
all sorts of household problems,
teen-age hi-jinks, and community
imbroglios.
Half Acre Castles" friendly
and funny satire Of home life 20
minutes by bus from the big city
stems from the pen Of an artist
and writer not unlike Steve Bar
low. A half acre castle proprietor
and do-it-yourself man himself,
Morris says
Sure, | know millions of Am
orleans are moving out to the
country or to small towns. What
do they call it? Shift in popula-
ton But I didn't have a socio-
logical tract in mind when +
started to draw Half Acre Castle
just wanted to draw life as I
know it and live ia lot of fun,
and most of the time pretty anus
ing"
Be sure you are on hand to
meet the Barlows. Once you get
to know them as they settle down
in your town, they'll become fast
friends with your entire family.
Watch for theml

Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-04-01

atlOnS OF most of our Montana ranching
areas, Montana stock ranches have a
more favorable opportunity for the de-
velopment of family type stock ranches
than do most of the other western
states. Probably in only one other west
ern state, Texas, do the stock ranching
operations have such a favorable situa-
ton in this respect
Where the use of the public lands
grazing is of much Importance in the
stock ranching operations, the family
type ranch is likely to have some def
mite limitations. This is true because
the public lands range allotments on
the national forests and on the public
domain grazing districts must as a rule
be large land units
AS a result the small to medium sized
ranches must, in order to use the pub
lie lands range allotments, use them in
cooperation with other operators. The
consequent problems of several opera
tors running their livestock in common
on a seasonal range allotment are sew
eral and difficult, to say the least.
But Not Impossible
Such cooperative use of public land
range allotments by a group of ranch
owners and operators is not impossible,
of course. We see such a cooperative
operation on some of the Montana ma
tional forest summer range allotments
that are adjacent to those mountain val
ley areas where family type stock
ranching has developed
Probably this cooperative use of the
public lands range allotments by family
type stock farms prevails more than
anywhere else in the Utah Mormon COM
munities. There, where the rural peO-
pie live in the village community and
where they are within fairly easy reach
of both the national forest summer graz
ing and the public domain desert graz
ing, the family type stock ranches have
been able to balance out the use of their
decided land and the public land rather
well
However, in the ranching areas where
most of the land is decided land it is
much easier to fit seasonal lands to-
gether into a balanced ranching unit
and to adapt the ranch size to the FAM
lily type of operation. This situation does
not as a rule prevail where highly sea-
sonal mountain land and desert land
grazing is an essential feature of
ranching operation. The ranching Oper-
atoms best able to make use of such
lands, often trailing considerable dis
tances to them, are as rule those oper-
ations considerably larger than we us
ualIy think of as family type operations.
Family Type Ranch
We usually think of the family type
stock ranch as one of sufficient size to
give full employment to the operator
and to any additional family labor, yet
not of a size in which the hired labor
is of such Importance that the operator
must spend any major part of his time
in supervision. It is difficult if not I'M
possible to define such size in terms of
an average or typical number of head
of livestock operated.
This is so because there may be more
than one family in the operation, ana
