Farmers Fail to Gain
Ground During 1859

on farms and a net increase In
the value Of farm machinery.
It is generally recognized
that agriculture's economic
problems arise out Of the fact
that production outstrips mar
kets. Last years crop volume
equaled the previous years
record. But total farm produc-
tion-crops and livestock-set
a new record, slightly above
the enormous output of 1858
and rs per cent above the 1947-
49 average.
The year saw a continuation
Of the long debate on what the
Government should do to bring
greater stability to farm prices
and income.
The administration continued
to insist upon a policy of Gov
ernment withdrawal from ag-
riculture. but the Congress,
with the backing of many
farm-belt Republican members,
insisted as strongly on meas
ures for more rather than less
Government aid.
In 1860, presidential elec-
ton year, the farm problem
may become q major issue. At
stake would be an important
bloc Of Midwestern electoral
votes.
Under existing conditions,
the Democrats believe they
have much to gain from the
farm vote. But Secretary of
Agriculture Benson disagrees
He says the loss in income from
farming is being offset to q
large degree by an increase In
income from nonfarm sources
Many farmers or members OF
their families now work of the

Last year brought many
disappointments-mostly eco
nomic-to the Nations agri-
culture.
Farm product prices lost
further ground. Income from
farming declined IS per cent
from 1858. Farm production
costs went higher under the
influence Of rising prices of
machinery, equipment and
other things farmers buy and
Of advancing taxes and interest
charges.
Furthermore, troublesome
crop surpluses grew larger. The
farm mortgage debt went up.
Farm production continued to
rise faster than markets for
farm products.
IneSe oeVelopmentS we're
capped by Government and
private forecasts Of a further
decline in 1860 farm prices and
income, Of another increase in
crop Surpluses and a decline In
farmer purchases Of new ma
chinery, cars and some con-
sumer goods.
OF course, the year did not
bring a depression to agricul-
ture. Agricultural income per
person did not decline as
sharply as the total because the
departure of additional people
from agriculture left a smaller
number to share the income.
Offsetting the drop in in
come, to a small extent, was q
further rise in the value of
farm assets. This rise reflected
higher land values, an increase

Retired Ranger
Receives Second
MeritorioUs Award

Rudolph L. Grimm, retired dis
al Park, received the Meritorious
Park, received the Meritorious
Service award from Superinten-
dent Edward A. Hummel at the
opening of the Ranger Confer
ence. Grimm retired on Deem
Der 81, 1859. The Meritorious
Service award was the second
such award received by Grimm
during his Park Service career.
Mr.. Grimm entered on duty
in Yellowstone National Park on
June 16, 1923 as a Park Ranger.
While at Yellowstone, in addi-
ton to his regular duties, he
made intensive scientific studies
of the winter range in the north
ern section of the park. These
studies were an important con-
tribution to the scientific knowl-
edge of the natural history prob
lens. The research he carried out
largely formed the basis for the
elk and bison management pro-
gram and policy.
Grimm also did an outstanding
job in managing the buffalo herd.
While developing the studies on
the northern Yellowstone winter
range, his findings were publish
ed in the Journal of Wildlife
Management.
In 1854 he was assigned as Act
ing Superintendent of George
Washington Carver National
Monument. Grimm transferred to
Glacier National Park in October
of 1856, as Supervisory Park Ran
ger - the position he held until
his retirement.
An excerpt from the citation of
the Meritorious Service Award
cited him for his unusual and
valuable contributions through
out his long career of exceptional
service.

Tribal Council Closes Popular
Duck Lake To Public Fishing

The Blackfeet reservations
famous Duck Lake is definitely
closed TO fishing for everyone ex
cept members of the Blackfeet
tribe, it was announced during q
call to the tribal office.
The ban went into effect at
shutdown yesterday evening, and
the area was posted today.
Inability of tribal officials to
negotiate mutually agreeable
terms with the Glacier Park Sad
die Park Horse Co. interests con-
corning public access rights on
the lake prompted the Blackfeet
Tribal Council to vote the ban.
The tribe owns only a small
portion of the acreage surround
ing the lake but owns the lake
itself and the fishing rights, and
only an agreement with the Mon
tana Fish and Game Commission
enables non-Indians to hunt and
fish on the federal reservation.
The private interest owns a
great majority of the land in
question, has allotted parcels for
public sale, and the general pub
lies access rights to the lake
shore Is the point Of contention.
IL is the tribes wish TO use the
lake as a public recreation area,
and its negotiations during the
past several months have been
with that end in view.
Tribal officials point out that
the ban is revocable, but since
the general feeling among them
is that negotiation attempts have
been overly one-sided, it will be
up to the decision of the private
interests whether the ban is ever
lifted.
Both the tribes game wardens
have been instructed to police
the area.

Pipeline Survey
Gives Employment
.ToLccuI Residents

Preliminary surveys in connec-
ton with the proposed pipeline
to import natural gas from Can
ada to Cobb Field availed en-
ployment for eight area residents
according to Robert LaFrom-
chairman of the Blackfeet Tribal
Land Board.
LaFromboise said the Black
feet Tribal Council recently ap-
proved the rights-of-way through
the reservation for the Montana
Power Co. to construct a pipeline
that will eventually import 80
million cubic feet of gas daily
from Alberta.
The Land Board chairman add.
ed that an arrangement with the
Montana Power Co. enables half
of the eight employed to be OF
Blackfeet Indian blood and that
the crew has been in the field
for several days.
A portion of the proposed un'
foreground 7000-acre natural gas
storage facility at the Glacier
Toole county line is state owned
and certain legal aspects involv
ing constitutionality of the right
of members of the State Land
Board to sign up yet-unsigned
lease agreement with the Mon
tana Power Co. are presently
undergoing court processes.
Whether further employment
of personnel depends on the out
come of the legal proceedings is
not known here, but when the
project does come up" the add
ed employment of area resident:
will be such as to enhance great
ly the economy of the genera
community.

Boyd 50 graciously presided in the
absence OF our Pastor, Rev. M. L.

Evangelist Noah Smith brought
the morning message using for his
subject What Is the Gospel ?"
The text was from Romans 1:16,
For I am not ashamed of the
gospel Of Christ; for 1t is the
power Of God unto salvation to
everyone that. believeth." The
speaker stated that the important
part of the gospel is the lamb Of
God that taketh away our sins,
who suffered, died, was buried and
rose again.
In conclusion Evangelist Smith
stated that one should re-examine
his belief, for God said we may be

Heving the gospel.
