[ Found It Takes Skill
To Use Primitive Tools
By BURTON BOSCH
IFYE Delegate to Iran

place with no separation at all, be-
gin to learn that just because method
is primitive, it is not necessarily easy.
Iranians amazed
A statement that never ceased to
amaze Iranians I talked with was the
one concerning the size of our farms
and the fact that only one family lived
on the land and did all the work.
In Iran, there is no pure dryland
farming as is practiced in Montana and
there is very little intensive irrigation
on the scale that is practiced on my
120-acre farm in the Milk River valley.
So a great deal of explaining was nee
eSsary to get the idea of summer fallow-
ing, irrigation districts, etc., across to
them.
In Iran, very few farmers own their
own land. Instead, a landlord usually
an absent one) owns the land and the
farmers are tenants who seldom work
the same piece of ground two consecu-
tive years. This means there is no long
range planning and only cash crops are
planted because the landlord wants
cash.
Insulting Word
The farmers then live in villages, so
the word farmer is synonymous with
villager and in Iran it is word that
is looked down upon. A farmer means
an illiterate, poor, and ragged individ-
ual who has to use his hands to make
living. In the Persian language it is oft
en- used as an insulting word
So there is great gap between the
conditions grew up under in Montana
and the conditions that farmers son
in Iran would have to endure That
does not mean the gap cannot be and
is not being bridged. Working with the
soil provides common basis and it
was on that ground that tried to talk
with farmers and their sons.
And it works! have found that they
have many of the same hopes and ideals
that we in America have, and that they
are on the brink of great progress.
Everywhere l went in Iran, found a
great deal of respect and friendship for
the United States. When a taxi driver
would ask if we were Americans and
we would answer, ''yes," then he'd
smile and say, 'khaley khub" Every
good and proceed to rattle on about his
machine ttaxD or pretty girl on the
sidewalk. Then I would feel pretty
proud of the work that Americans have
done over here. I only hope that have
contributed to that good work.

Veto Of Social

BY the Associated Press

The Chamber of Commerce of

chamber said it opposed two

permitting qualified women to
retire at So and disabled workers

Mr., Eisenhower. would only "ini-
tial steps" which might lead
some people To expect greater
premiums on premature retire
ment and a greater relaxation of
standards of aid for permanent
and total disability
Mr. Coleman said payment of
benefits for permanent and total
disability at age so would es-
tablish an unnecessary and I'M
warranted system.
Such a program is a new
concept on which the National
Government should not embark, "
he wrote. The local commu-
nifty should continue to be the

a program would induce many
persons to rely on a regular cash
benefit. rather than to rehaoili IL

Mr.. Coleman said Congress
voted for the lower retirement
age for women despite increased
longevity and the reduction it
would bring in the labor force.
He said the trend in private pen
