Lines From LeiIl
At R.M.H.S.

Richard Montgomery 7, Laurel
2. That was the final score at the
game Friday night at the Ag Cen
ter in Gaithersburg. 1t was a
hard-fought game and we sure
deserved the win. At the half the
score was even, nothing all.
Then in the third period, Rich
ard Montgomery, who had been
running well all night, exploded
Jay Dawson over from the 3, to
make the first tally of the game.
Garrett Kaufman added the ex-
ira point to make it Z to 0. Late
in the fourth period Richard
Montgomery fumbled in their
own end zone. We recovered, how
ever, and Laurel scored a safety.
Score, Z to 2.
That win is a far cry from last
years score: Laurel 50, r. M. H.
S. 0. With that win, our record
now shows one win, one tie, three
losses. I'm sure that win will spur
us on to further victories.
School was closed Thursday
and Friday of last week for the
teachers convention in Baltimore.
So there isn't too much news to
report from school this week. The
officers of all grades have now
been elected. Let's hope we elect
ed the right ones and that we'll
have a great year.
One thing that has hurt a lot
of people in school these first
few weeks are grades. Many of
the football and band players
have become ineligible. This is
going to hurt the band and team
badly. The theme around school
this year is: BRING US THOSE
GRADES! That wraps it up for
this week. I hope that next week
l can report a winning score
from our football team.

Soul Saving and Phone Conversations

lea. We are told that the Utah Basin Tele-
phone Association recently installed de-
vice at Tabiona, Utah. which automatically
cuts off long-winded conversations. This
wonderful gadget permits the user of a
party-line to converse for four minutes and
then it interrupts to warn that there is only
one more minute to go. At the end of that
time the connection is automatically cut.
So drastic an interference with the pre-
viously unlimited privilege of those who
unchallenged. In fact, some of the COM
plants may seem halfway legitimate Who,
for instance, can discuss adequately the
plans for a church social or a community
farm program in five minutes. We under
stand there has also been stern criticism of
the new gadget on the grounds that it vio-
lates constitutional rights. 1t seems clear,
however, that the prohibition against any
thing that would interfere with free speech
does not apply since telephone converse
tons are paid for in one way or another at
the end of the month.
Of course, the anguish that will be suf-
fered by Aunt Henrietta in being compelled
to condense her customary leisurely hour
long visit on the phone to such an unthink-
ably short period as five minutes is some
thing to be considered.
Nevertheless, we hope this party-line ex-
pertinent in condensed conversation will

BACK IN THE GOOD OLD, or were
they, days when this century was in its early
teens, young minister of the gospel in
Great Falls won the admiration and respect
of his growing congregation by the excel
lence and ShOrtneSS of his sermons. No
doubt, based on the experience of his earlier
years when he was listener to, rather than
a giver of, sermons he was convinced that,
as he expressed it, ''No souls are saved after
the first fifteen minutes" So unlike most
of his fellow clergymen of those days. he
never preached for much more than quar-
ter of an hour.
The fame of this wise Montana minister
quickly spread and he was soon called to
take charge Of large church in an eastern
city. He later became bishop.
Going from the pastoral to the political,
we suggest that some of the boys who are
out beating the bushes for votes these days
might well follow the example of this min
lister of the gospel in cutting down the word
age of their campaign discourses. We doubt
whether many votes are won after the first
fifteen or twenty minutes. The time thus
saved could perhaps be more resultfully de-
voted to the shaking of hands and kissing
of babies.
We note that this laudable trend toward
the use of fewer, but better chosen, words
has at least gained tongue-hold, as it were,
in the vast telephone network of rural Amer

What About SURPRISES in 1865?

IF FARMERS AND RANCHERS knew
what the agricultural surplus situation was
going to be ten years from now, they would
be in better position to adjust their OPP
erationS intelligently. There has been good
deal of wishful thinking about this question.
And there has been an inclination to rely
heavily upon the increasing population to
wipe out SURPRISES within comparatively
few years.
Some folks, including some top agricul-
tural officials, keep saying, Get rid of our
present surplus stocks and we'll be all
right"
Others point to the steadily improving
efficiency of production and question
whether increasing population will solve the
problem, even if a way could be found to
eliminate present stockpiles of food and
fiber.
In an effort to get some facts, instead of
wild guesses, the National Planning Asso-
citation asked two highly regarded econo-
mists to study population and farm produc-
ton trends and other factors, and do some
informed forecasting about what will happen
to supply and demand relationships in the
next ten years. The men who tackled this
job are John D. Black of Harvard Univer-
sity and James Bonnen of Michigan State
College.
The easiest part of the work was the
formulation of population estimates. The
economists report that by 1865 we'll have a
population of about 100 million That's 1870
more than we have now.
But when they took look at production
trends thew found that AGRICULTURAL output
will probably increase $3.50 by 1865, unless
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-05-15

a workable acreage and animal unit control
program is developed.
These estimates are based on average
weather conditions, full employment, con-
tinuation of farm program at least as eff
fective as the one in operation in 1855, and
no general war.
The economists say the livestock outlook
is quite hopeful, unless feed supplies in
crease too fast. They estimate that Is mil
lion acres of wheat and million acres of
cotton will go into forage and feed produc-
ton during the next ten years.
Economist Black summarizes the studies
by saying that unless production control is
made more effective, San extension of pres
ent trends will give larger volume of pro-
duction than 1870 larger population will
consume in 1865"
What is needed he believes is not that
farmers abandon the use of the new and
more efficient techniques but that they APP
ply them to fewer acres Of crops and fewer
animal units.
The economists feel that in making these
adjustments quickly, farmers and stock
growers are going to require the help of
workable federal support and control pro-
gram.
They recommend that high support
prices be modified and prices allowed to
move toward their free market level. Then
make up the difference between these prices
and ''near normal income through direct
payments.
Such planning, coupled with cooperation
and good judgment on the part of individual
farmers and ranchers, can result in a stead
lily improving situation during the next ten
years.
