A Surplus of Bullheadedness

mood for realistic compromise. Most of
them continued to maintain an unyielding
all-or-nothing position with reference to
their own particular program or commodity
interest
An equally stubborn attitude was rigid
ly maintained by the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. In supporting the administration view
point, all proposals except the complicated
soil bank we're rudely brushed aside as
being uneconomic or otherwise unsound, or
impossible to administer
In such complex situation it is not
only difficult but useless to attempt to fix
the responsibility for the failure that has
resulted.
We hear much about the surplus of
farm commodities as the chief cause for
the price difficulties confronting agricul-
ture But there is another obvious surplus
which stands in the way of a constructive
solution to this problem, and that is the
deadening pileup of bullheadedness on the
part of congressional leaders on both sides
of the political fence, farm organization
leaders, and leaders in the agricultural adj
ministration Until these accumulationS of
human StubborneSS are in some way re-
lieved or equitably compromised, the out
look for a really satisfactory answer to the
farm price question will continue to be
a diScouraging one.

Thoughts on Beef Breeding

Richards told his association members
that dwarfism has been known in ali strains
of the breed as well as in all Of the beef
cattle breeds. But he said it has less than
one per cent incidence, can be bred out as
fast as bred in, and can and should be
stamped out.
''Sell any known carrier" he advised,
regardless Of how valuable otherwise"
In the same genetic vein, Richards in
sisted that more emphasis be placed on the
bull end Of the breeding program and less
on Individual COWS and COW families. He
had in mind that bull would have about
40 to so times more influence in the over
all breeding program Of a ranch operation
than an individual COW. For many years,
breeders Of Angus cattle have been prone
to emphasize the COW families of their
breed, so this and his other statements re-
ferring to dwarfism represent major de-
partureS from this associations previous
policy 1t indicates progress to all who are
affiliated with the beef production indus
try-progreSs that should ultimately de-
crease costs while increasing the value of
beef to the consumer.

Political maneuvering at Washington
has created such legislative Smog that it
is hard to guess what, if any, farm program
legislation will be developed this year.
AS things stand now there will be no soil
bank and no 900 supports. But even this
isn't certain. There is some behind-the-
scenes talk of simplified bill which would
combine the soil bank with payment, or
surplus set-aside," plan which would give
farmers what would amount to 900 sup
port on basicS. If such measure is enacted,
it will probably not be until July-too late
to have much if any, income effect for 1856.
But coming before the election it might
have considerable political effect.
For the 1856 crop, wheat supports will
average $500 a bushel. This amounts to
1870 of the modernized parity and 19c
bushel higher than the support level orig
inally announced by Benson. 1t is about &c
bushel under the 1855 support level. And
to give you the complete picture, it is 27c a
buShel lower than the 900 of old parity
provided by the bill which was vetoed by
the President
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-05-01

WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION and
Congress started work on the farm bill a
few months ago, there was reason to hope
that constructive Improvement in the farm
program might result. The farm leaders
had the trial-and-error experience of past
farm plans to guide them. And they had
the acute need for income improvement for
agriculture to spur them on to positive &C
ton Some promising proposals for practi-
cal improvements in the program were up
for consideration.
The stage appeared to be set for an
other forward step in the long struggle
toward the goal of equalityfor-ag agriculture
under the American protective system. 1t
seemed possible that even though this was
an election year political differences would
be submerged by a wholehearted effort to
provide the mechanism through which
farm prices could be brought up to a level
comparable with that enjoyed by labor and
industry.
However, as the legislative process of
committee hearings, followed by full con-
gresSional consideration, progressed it be-
came evident that many congressman were
more interested in securing partisan politi-
cal advantage than in achieving workable
solution to the problem.
And it also became clear that national
farm organization leaders were still in no

FRANK RICHARDS is the head of ma
tion-wide beef-cattle breed organization. He
has definite ideas on cattle problems and
does not hesitate to express them vigorously.
While on one of his many trips, up and
down the nation, he dropped in at the Mon
tana Winter Fair last month, looked over
the entries in the black cattle division
which comprises his major interest and
then, tapping his stick on the table for en-
phaSis, gave his association members look
into the future
''The American housewife has recog-
nized the need for red meat without excess
fat -. F. and we must produce that product
he said. ''Watch-charm type in beef cattle
must 60"
He declared too that "gainability' is
not the complete answer. eve must also
consider the grade. Let's keep Angus as
they are today. Do not sacrifice size for
quality, nor flat, dense bone for just plain
big bone; straight legs for sickle hooks or
post legs. And don't try to produce beef on
false economy. Grass is basic to the beef
industry, let's keep it basic"

disregard such realities as human nature
and sound economics in their efforts to
achieve their objective.
irresponsible dogooderS of this kind are
apparently not confined only to our own
country AS an extreme example of what
we are talking about we cite the drive being
launched in the United Kingdom by the Lon
don Committee of the Cats Protection
League. The sponsors of this organization
have decided that diet of mice and milk
is entirely too monotonous and inadequate
for pussy cats So they insist that better
food must be provided for all cats and par
ticularly for working CATS whose function
it is to keep the mouse and rat population
under control in warehouses, offices, shops,
docks, farms, etc.
The thing these kindly, but minimizing,
people overlook is the obvious fact that
well-fed cats aren't going to exert them
selves chasing mice. The inevitable result
would be a million or SO unemployed cats
in the United Kingdom. Of course, as has
been suggested, Uncle Sam would probably
take care of the unemployed British cats
with another overseas aid donation.
We have an idea that the cats would
heartily approve what the LC.C.P.L. is try
ing to do for them. And undoubtedly if the
campaign succeeds the mice, too, will be
delighted.

as a constructive policy for the general well

to be adjusted from time to time to meet the
effects of initiation or other changing con-

their heads in the clouds would shoot for

if they had their way.
