Fewer Farms i'm us.

NUMBER OF FARMS in the United
States shrank 100000 between 1850 and
1854, more than 10 per cent, according
to the Census Bureau. In 1850, the re-
port said, the nation had 1892, 1862
farms; by 1854 the number was 4,782..
1893.
Reduction in number of farms was
So per cent in Montana and 81 per
cent in Wyoming.
Most of the reduction was in the
eastern and southern areas of she ma
ton and in small farms. For census
purposes the count of farms includes
any operation that has an annual pro-
duction valued at $3.50 or more.

Solid Meeting Ground

In contemplating retirement, parents
are leery of loosening their grip, with
good reason. Unless there has been a
solid meeting ground, the folks are ap-
prehensive of the kids going overheard
on new and yet-to-be-proven ideas.
This solid meeting ground is an impor-
tant solution evolving out of frank dis
cussion and riding herd together for a
few years on all ideas until the sick,
weak and Improbable ones are cut out.
When a continuous choice crop of ideas
and planned programs are corralled
and readied for market with the bless
ing Of both generations, then is your
solid ground achieved.
If, after 10 years of effort, there is
not enough trust intact from either
generation to achieve a solid ground,
then the younger generation should get
= out entirely rather than spend years
in a senseless, tiresome pickering
which will destroy all family relation
ships.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-02-01


in-law were charming and very kind,
but the realization of living with
cl0Se-knit family who had woven their
lives tightly together was terrifying.
But when the work was done that fall,
we were married.
Series of Crises
The next three years were a series
of crises. Bride VS.. in-laws VS.. crew
cooking, VS.. diapers, VS. cabin fever
all at once and all popping full blast.
Baby every year, disagreement with
in-laws every other day, ranch cooks
appearing and disappearing, gallblad-
der and teeth came out. And there
were horrible snowed-in winters when
all I'd accomplish would be smothered
new chickens and another pregnancy.
With enough ingredients in the pot
for a major explosion, there was one
prayer which helped when all else
failed. ''God give me the serenity to
accept what cannot change, the cour-
wisdom to know the difference"
An important last-ditch limb grasped
was, when you think you will not toler-
ate one more minute, wait a day, and
try another week of it.
No one is tranquil consistently. but
when you absolutely don't want TO d.
Give! If you'll try giving the first ten
times that you are certain you should
mt. you'll at least know you tried to
establish basic unselfish relationship
and that means a great deal more to
your self-respect than a determined
falSe-prided ''No" inserted by the in
Stinct for preservation of individualisnl.
Honest ReappraisaI
When we are living on a keg of
dynamite, we should make an honest
reappraisal of ourselves and stop to
realize that so often our own selfish
ness gets mixed up with injustice in our
minds and, as the Blackfeet Indians
used to say. Don't judge a man until
| you have walked in his moccasins for
six moons"
Though it is not what a man SAYS,
but the tone in which it is said that
impresseS us, wait before you answer
and attempt to understand the why Of
the insult-causing tone. Then try to
eliminate that in yourself that caused
! it.
1t is much easier for young people
under 80 to make basic changes in their
behavior pattern than it is for older
people. 1 don't mean hypocriticaI
change-for example, the woman 40
years old who still sneaks her ciga-
rettes in the bathroom rather than let
her mother-in-law know she smokes.
This and a me-tooism attitude of agree
ment simply build up further resent
ment and lead into a tragic upheavaI
of emotions where every slight, mag
ined or real, is distorted beyond all
proportion.
Skip Personal Advice
Parents should not hand the place
over on silver platter. 1t won't be ap.
preciated unless it is worked for and
earned.
But in giving advice to those newly
wed. stay away from personal advice
otherwise you're going to get hurt. 1
your children have to ask you for ad
vice, and they will if you don't give
it freely and by the volume, they viii
have much more respect for you

Squirrel Hunting?
Here Are Tips :

Want to be successful SPUR
rel hunter this fall? Chris Under,
noted outdoor writer, makes these
suggestions in the current issue of
Town Journal magazine.
Of the several types of squirrel
hunting, still hunting is the dead
lest. Amble easily through I'll
woods to likely spot just below
the brow of a wooded ridge, to
grove bordering cornfield, or TO
travel lane of trees connecting
two patches of timber.
Choose a comfortable spot at the
base of a tree or stump where
you can SLOUGH down to watch the
trees in the immediate area. Once
settled, don't move until you lift
your rifle. Squirrels may be
alarmed at mans approach, but
they quickly lose fear as the hunt
er fades quietly into the back
ground.
Most squirrel hunters prefer
quiet, neutral clothing with soft
boots or moccasins. Add a small
pair of field glasses and bottle
of mosquito dope.
Sit quietly with the sun at your
back and carefully study the trees
in your field of vision. Examine
trunks and main limbs one at a
time, following them up into the
foliage and paying special atten-
ton to forks, twisted limbs, and
knotholes.
Move with painful slowness; a
good hunter may take full min
ute to turn his head go degrees.
Sit with knees drawn up, rifle
butt in your lap.
The % rifle is an ideal piece for
squirrel hunting, with the % long
rifle cartridge in standard velocity

A Resel Report =
It's Up To Labor Leaders To
Clean Out Invading Monsters

June when the President suggest
ed that they get together and dis
cuss the mob invasion of some
unions.
Then the tens of thousands of
'aonest labor chiefs should stand
up and be counted. They are the
vast majority of Americas 485,OOO
union officers. If they permit the
mobster minority to pust them
around, they will find that all
labor will be blackened. What
good is it to point out over and
over again that the mobsters con-
troll only a handful of unions, if
the tens of thousands of honest
union officials don't fight back to
save the reputation of their own
labor movement? What price leth-
arby?
Labor Leaders Too Sensitive
1t these labor men move and are
joined by their national leaders.
then the local prosecutors will be-
gin. scratching about, Congress
VIII take a look at what's hap
pening, and all through the land
angry men will fight back. Why
don't they take up their battle
shields now? Because there is a
peculiar sensitivity inside labor.
And labor should not be sensitive.
There are crooks in industry.
There are crooks in government.
Yet only when crooks inside labor
are assailed do we find tighten
ing of class sentiment and of labor
ranks as though an attack on one
Is an attack on all. If labor would
indicate that it would not blast
those who would probe the mobs.
then the probe would be launched
Basically, both rank and file
union members and the public
are to blame. The unionists lust
don't seem to care. They don't
move. They don't come out to
meetings, they don't take pride in
their labor movements, just as the
public doesn't seem to care about
many OF its public officials.
So we all lose by default. The
fault is ours. Let's not pass the
buck on the responsibility for the
failure to fight the fast buck.

The nation may lift its collec-

New York State authorities only

Although this spectre haunts the
land, few authorities have moved

except for the hardhitting FBI,
which is limited in it's fight on
the rackets because its jurisdic-
ton is restricted to certain kinds
of Interstate crime.
Concerted Action Needed
For five years now, newspapers
have poured out oceans of ink to
tell the story. Private anti-crime
committees have worked their in
vestigators' feet to the bone-and
have gone into limbo. outlived by
the rackets they tried to expose.
Special state commissions have
been set up-and have found
themselves helpless despite pom

attorneys have come up with wire
tap evidence of mob movements
into labor-and have been de-
nounced for using such mean tao

From the nations waterfronts

the mobsters have flourished,
thumbed their noses and collected
their levies practically without
