assessment records viii be useful in
estimating this cost.
s., Shelter. Most studies of the value
of shelter for farm machinery fail to
give conclusive evidence that it pays.
This, of course. viii vary depending on
the type of machine being considered.
There is also such wide variation in
storage and shelter provided on Mon
tana farms that no general rule for
estimating its cost is available.
Variable Costs
Variable costs are those associated
with the use of the machine. The most
common variable costs are:
i. Repairs. This is difficult item to
estimate. 1t depends on the type and
condition of the machine, care in oper-
alton, and how well it is maintained.
Annual repairs usually run from 1 to 7
per cent of the purchase price of the
machine.
2. Fuel, OF, and grease are major
expense in operating power equipment.
Farmers can usually make close es-
Inmates ON fuel and oil consumption
from past experience Other sources are
equipment companies and neighbors.
3. Supplies such as twine and sprays
should be considered when comparing
costs of ownership against custom rates.
4. Labor is an important cost of using
farm machinery. One of the advantages
of large equipment is the amount of
labor 1t saves over small equipment.
Partial Budget Illustration
To illustrate how your partial budget
may look, let us consider the case of a
seH-propelled combine costing SIS 1000
to be used on 500 acres per year.
Fixed Costs:
Depreciation (1O years of life) 5000
Interest on investment $50 of

bring noxious weeds and their perform
ance may not always be up co your
standards. On the other hand, hiring
custom work may eliminate some in
vestment risk and the necessity OF
handling hired men. It may also pro-
vide an opportunity to get the work
done efficiently by skilled operators and
specialized equipment.
Your Capital Position
Another consideration in any de-
cision concerning the purchase of ma
chinery is your capital position. II
you are fortunate enough to have vir-
tualIy unlimited capital. your problem
is easier. IL it pays to own the ma
chine. as IN our illustration above, it
will be to your advantage to make the
purchase
If, on the other hand, you are In the
more typical position of having limited
capital, you win want to consider al
tentative investment possibilities. For
example, even though it may pay to
own the $4,000 combine, your limited
funds may be more profitab1y invested
in fertilizer, labor, gas and oil or per-
haps some livestock. The idea is to use
the money not only where it pays, but
where it pays the most
TimeIiness of Operation
Timeliness of operation is especially
important in deciding between larger or
smaller units of machinery or between
one or more than one units. It may
also be important in deciding between
owning, and hiring custom work Here
it is necessary to balance increased
costs against the estimated increase i'm
income that results from greater time
liness. Judgment, based upon the ex-
perience OF yourself and neighbors, and
experimental work, is essential in evalu-
ating the returns from more timely
operations
Value OF Labor Saved
Machinery substitutes for labor. In
other words, the addition of machinery
generally results in the need for less
labor How much is this labor worth?
The answer to this question depends
N several things. IF hired labor is re-
eased by adding machinery it Is worth
what you pay for it-in other words,
1.o rxrsx.rr w~,4x> Ec.~

machinery is an important aspect of
managing the farm. For example,
some recent studies of Montana wheat
farms show that machinery costs make
up about 80 per cent of total produc-
ton costs.
Several important decisions face
farmers IN determining machinery
needs. The decisions may be between
owning and hiring; between units of
different sizes; between new and used
equipment: between owning one or
more than one unit of a specific ma
chine.
The objective OF the farm manager
should not necessarily be to minimize
machinery costs, since this does not
usually result in highest profits. BY
the same token, he does not want to
minimize the amount of labor re-
quired. as this is not generally con-
sistent with getting the highest return.
Greatest Returns
The problem is to strike a balance
between use of labor and machinery
that will achieve greatest returns.
1t is generally known that per acre
or per hour costs of machinery decline
as use increases. This suggests that
one of the important considerations in
making decisions about machinery is
the amount of acreage on which it will
be used.
Other information you viii need con-
Germs the annual costs of owning the
machine whether it is used or not.
Also costs related to the use of the
machine and the rates charged by
custom operators viii be useful. And
finally, you viii want to consider other
factors not associated with cost in
making your final decision.
One of the most helpful ways to start
your analysis is with a partial budget
This tool of analysis is particularly
helpful in that it allows a farmer to
take account of special factors on his
own farm.
The usual procedure in using the
partial budget is to classify costs as
fixed or variable AS we will see, this
is helpful in making several kinds of
decisions.
Fixed Costs
Costs that go on even though the
machine is not used are called fixed
costs. The most Important of these are
as follows:
/. Depreciation represents one of the
most important costs associated with
owning machinery Although part of
the depreciation depends on how much
the machine is used, it is customary
to think of it as a fixed cost. The rate
of depreciation can be varied depend
ing on how much the machine is to be
used
e Interest ON investment is normally
charged on one-haIf the purchase price.
This recognizes that the investment
varies from full purchase price to zero
over the life of the machine.
5. Insurance should be calculated on
the same basis as interest; that is, ON
the average value of the machine over
its whole life. If you do not Insure your
you are carrying the risk
yourself and are justified in making an
charge.
4. Taxes should be figured on the
basis of your local tax rate. Your tax

Average Variable Cost
Per Acre ...... $1.0O
TO figure the Total Cost Per Acre for
this situation add the Average Variable
Cost to the Average Fixed Cost. To
calculate this, $3.50 divided by 500 acres
is $1.70 plus 81 gives Total Cost Per
Acre OF $2.70.
Compare With Custom Rates
If your Total Cost Per Acre, as COM
puted in the partial budget, is less than
the usual custom rate 1t suggests that
owning the machine would be profit
able There are some other factors to
consider, however, such as the adj
vantages and disadvantages of hiring
custom operators. It is difficult to as
sign a money value to some of these
factors.
For example, custom operators may
not be available when needed, they may

The Russians were delighted

BASIC TENETS INVOLVED
What Is the Real Extent of YugosIovio's Heresy?

for President Tito's independent
course will be balmier indeed.
Belgrade certainly shares, with
the rest of eastern and central
Europe, fears Of rising Germany
armed with nuclear weapons. This
fear-voiced in the Rapacki plan
submitted by Poland and rejected
by the United States on May g.
seems a non-political one. Worry
over the intentions of a revanchist
Germany possessing nuclear arms,
the Yugoslavs indicate, would be
the same whatever the political
system prevailing either in Ger
many or among her neighbors.
But no Yugoslav official has denied
the historical desirability, and in
evitability, of German reunifi-
cation.
Yugoslavia's hope for the fu-
ture-one optimistic in tone, when
considered against the dark back
ground of today's world situation
rests on the realization Of a
relaxation of tension between
East and West. If an easing in
the cold war is achieved, Bel
grade expects the heresies of its
own national Communist regime
to become commonplace in other
Communist countries.
These heresies are nothing less
than a denial Of fundamental
Soviet doctrine. In the program
for the Ljubljana Congress, the
Yugoslavs state fatty that %
"Marxism is not a system Of dog
mas -; (2) that socialism
cannot be static, but must de-
velop in many different areas in
as many different ways (thus in
the Belgrade view it is develop
ing in capitalist nations as well
as in areas where socialism has
been officially proclaimed").
Worst Of all the heresies, from
Moscow's standpoint, is the Yugo-
slav denial of the role of the
''proletarian revolution" as the
sole road to socialism. Not only
Yugoslavia, but Nehru's India. the
Belgrade leaders contend, illus
trates the fallacy of this cardinal
principle Of Leninism.
The conclusion of the preamble
to the draft program for the
Ljubljana congress used these
words: Nothing so far done must
be so sacred to us that it cannot
be surpassed and replaced by
something still more progressive,
still freer, still mSe human"

AIqerion Resistance
Has Deep Roots

In 1925. the growing forces Of
Arab nationalism found express

ton called the North African
Star" This movement. demand
ing national independence, was
speedily suppressed by the French.
In 1887 the Algerian Peoples
Party" with similar aims. began
functioning until it, too, was out
lawed in 1889. In 1y47. following
recurrent uprisings that begun i'm
mediately after the end Of World
War II, an organization calling
itself the Movement for the Tri-
umph Of Democratic Liberties" led
the independence drive until its
suppression In 1854.
On November /, 1854, Algerian
nationalist rebels launched a gen.
eral attack against French forces.
The rebellion, led by a National
Liberation Front" in which sew
eral Moslem nationalist groups
co-operated, created the Army Of
National Liberation" which, so
far, has effectively defled the long
and costly French effort to wipe
1t out.
Cheered on by Arab nationalists
from Cairo to Rabat. the Ale
gerians have insisted that inde-
pendence for Algeria is the only
basis on which the rebellion will
be called of. Efforts in Paris to
work out by negotiation a COM
promise Of the rebel demands
within the framework Of French
sovereignty have failed.
Almost four years Of ruthless
warfare plus government vacil-
lation in Paris have brought the
military men in Algeria. already

ever to defend their paramount
