SUGAR. ANYoNE2

IF POLL were taken OF the most unoeSlraDle ciop -
the world market today, it would undoubtedly be sugar. AND
this is the crop for which most of the fertile land OF St Crolx
is being used.
HOW DID this ridiculous situation come about! II was
certainly not the result of careful planning. Powerful loDDles
are maintained in Washington at the cost Of many hundreds
Of thousands of dollars to be sure that the quota OF beet sugar
is proportionate with hat of cane sugar that Cuba does not
undersell Louisiana, and above all to prevent the price Of
sugar from falling too low because Of overproduction. Some
where in among the giants little ST. Croix is trying to balance
its economy with this unwanted crop.
IN 1854, WHEN the late Senator Hugh Butler published
his report on the Virgin Islands Corporation prior to the Re
vision Of the New Organic Act, Vicorp was in need OF deli
cheney appropriations. 1t was estimated that if the st. Croix
quota were. raised, and st. Croix could meet that quota, the
sugar-producing enterprise might pay for Itself. Just who was
going to buy this sugar was not indicated. Evidently Senator
Butler did not think much of Vicorps chances of balancing
its budget-he suggested that if it did not pay for itself with
in a five years period, sugar production be abandoned in
ST. Croix.
AT THE SAME that the fields of st. Croix are full OF
cane, the people must import almost all Of their vegetables
and a large percentage of fruits. High shipping costs put the
essentials of a balanced diet beyond the purchasing power
funds were diverted to the production Of foodstuffs for an I'M
dernourished people, rather than unwanted sugar and the
contingent rum industry which brings profits to the few.
THESE ARE the. problems which demand cooperation
between our Governor and Senate-good food for the people,
good schools for the children, instead of the senseess struggle
for privilege and power which. divides the Legislative and
Executive branches of our Government today.

The Farm Problem
By JESSE GREEN
By JESSE GREEN

There are two other alternatives to
doing nothing with the marketing prob
lem. One would be to furnish minimum
supports, and the other would be the
establishment of processing tax, as
in the case of beet sugar. In the case
of wheat, which is nearest to our
hearts, minimum support equal to
the bare cost of production would be
a partial solution. Such price would
not encourage over production, nor
would it allow the terrible repetition of
the price of the sos.
The processing tax used in the beet
sugar industry has been very success
full. There is a so cent tax on every
bag of sugar, which the user pays,
and which he should pay. The pro-
ceeds go to help the beet grower, who
has had the most difficult time of all
the people engaged in agriculture. All
through the boom period he received
$40 for a sack of sugar, which lot
of people object to paying, but sugar
is the cheapest product on the market.
Processing Tax
Returning again to wheat, why would
not processing tax on flour be an
equitable way to help the grower or
to guarantee him the right to exist
ence. There are not many flour mills
any more; the tax would not be hard
to administer. 1t would be necessary to
control acreage, which is most ex-
pensive and almost impossible to carry
out.
A better plan than acreage control
would be to allow the fund from the
processing tax to accumulate and pay
it back to the grower on the basis Of
bushels produced, only when more
bushels were needed. There would, o.
course, be lag of at least one veal
between the payment and the need O.
payment, and other difficulties too
numerous to mention.
All of these plans have been con
sidered before They are full of faults
they are just like the bird flying agains
the window to get out. The first plal
of just letting free production take it
course is the best policy, but what
mistake it is even to mention such
plan. No one will agree.
At least I am thankful to live in
land of plenty, and I don't want t
hear anyone complain about over pre-
duction, the best condition that eve
existed.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-05-01

THE TREND OF this column has
been along the lines of natural history,
but actually the farm problem is close
to us and is part of This Land of
Ours The experts have all had their
try at it over a long period of years
and should by now be willing to admit
their failure
All of the farm problem doctors fail
to accept their responsibility, and often
you hear the blame laid at the feet
of Secretary Benson or the Administra-
ton, who are only the victims of years
of attempts to get something out of
nothing The same old schemes have
been tried over and over as a bird
trying to fly out of a closed window
continues to bump against the glass,
and never learning from experience.
Not Ruined Yet
1t is never fair to criticize without
offering a suggestion for Improvement.
First let us be impressed with one fact
the farmer is not ruined yet He is
not getting his share of the wealth
at the present ime, but he must under
stand that in any event a perfect di-
vision can never be made.
The ailing agricultural industry will
live while longer if the doctors and
the patients would only allow a little
time to pass. A certain kind of medi-
cine has been tried, why continue to
force it down the patient. In medicine
if Nature is not allowed to help. there
is little hope. The economic doctors
would be well advised to let Nature
and Time have hand in this case
The entire problem is far more com
pick than we suspected. We never have
realized the completely of all the fac
tors We would do well not to interfere
with a delicate economic balance tina
is always in effect, and which work.
with speed and precision superior t.
anything that man can devise.
Leave 1t Alone
The first suggestion offered. here OF
the farm problem, in the light of GU
present knowledge and experience, i
that 1--WE leave it alone as much a
possible" that we ask our good Gov
eminent to continue with education
research and the collection of stats
tics, but that it let the marketing prob
lem run its course, The price of whea
will fall hard, but it is going to any
way, just remember, and see wha
happens.

Skiing Below The
Mason-Dixon Line

A story with paintings, entitled
Skiing Below the Mason-DiXon,
was published in the January is
sue of Ford Times, monthly publ
cation by the Ford Motor company
The story is reproduced, since it
, concerns an area very near to the
Garrett county line.
Early in the winter of 1851 two
strangers carrying boards on their
shoulders appeared at the door of
farmhouse near Davis, West Vir-
ginia, and inquired politely:
MAY we use the snow in your
backyard?'
The startled occupants of the
house, Mr.. and Mrs. Hobert Mauzy,
didn't know a ski from a barrel
stave and we're inclined to ques-
ton the usefulness of snoW-it had
to be shoveled out of the way on
cold mornings before they could
reach the barn. But with rural
cordially they welcomed the city
fellers and watched in amazement
as they balanced on their boards
and swooped through the upper
pasture and the apple orchard.
"A day on the Mauzy farm con-
WINGED the two members of the ski
club of Washington, D. c., that this
was their long-sought slope. They
had learned about it from someone
who heard about it from another
person who overheard an airline
pilot telling friend on a WISH
ington streetcar about mountain
he flew over regularly which pre-
served a large area of snow
throughout the winter.
Thus was born the Cabin Noun
tain Ski area, whose forty acres
of open slopes are now served by
two permanent gasoline-powered
rope tows, $50 and 400 feet long, a
shorter portable tow and three
warming huts. Half-mile runs are
possible from the top of the noun
tain, and the view from there is an
extra bonus. Even when general
cover of snow is missing, two large
drifts geographically protected
from the suns rays, provide good
skiing.
The area is open TO the public
and club members offer free les
sons to beginners.
The ski slope is on State route
80, ten miles south of Davis, d
mountain town which, with its rip
roaring numbering days all but for
gotten, had settled down to enter
tanning bird watchers, fishermen
spelunkers and visitors to nearby
Blackwater Falls. You can rent ski
