Planning Future Water Needs

just 19 years hence-we will require 500
billion gallons of usable water per day."
With such rapidly growing water re-
quirements for domestic, agricultural and
industrial purposes, the pressure on water
resources will increase rapidly. Montana and
other headwater states that fail to develop
master water plans for future needs, and
fail to move realistically toward their full
fil1ment, will find themselves in an increas-
ingly vulnerable position.
Montana cannot safely follow "dog on
the bale of hay policy with reference to
water supplies. With such urgent needs de-
veloping in downstream states, the present
protection may disappear. Provisions should
be made through the Montana Water Con-
Servation Board, or some other state agency,
to proceed with the development of mas
ter water plan for Montana, in cooperation
with all of the agencies and industries con-
cerned with future water use.

There is considerable evidence that such
seeding carried out consistently in cloudy
weather, and even during periods of rain,
would increase precipitation and build more
substantial moisture reserves that would be
valuable during dry periods.
Such reserves would result in higher
yields almost any year, they reason, because
in most seasons there are times during the
growing season when soil moisture is at
less than optimum levels. And any excess
moisture accumulated in this way one year
would be particularly valuable the follow
ing season if drought conditions should de-
velop.
Senator Francis Case of South Dakota
is endeavoring to develop a long-range
weather modification research program for
the northern great plains. What rainmaking
research has been done in this region has
been of spasmodic and limited character.
Further studies of continuing nature
might bring worthwhile results.

A Sharper Eye on Tax Returns

be even more difficult in the future than it
has been in the past.
IN fairness to taxpayers who abide by
the rules, the IRIS is determined to seek out
and penalize those who deliberately try to
play sharp and fast with Uncle Sam.
Prices for basic farm products could
rise considerably without having much
effect on food prices. Here are few rea-
sons why this is so: There's 2.3 cents worth
of wheat in 20 cent loaf of bread; corn
in a 26 cent box of corn flakes cost "a
cents; cotton in 81 business shirt brought
the farmer 20 cents and the producer of
choice grade beef received 81 cents from
each dollar spent by the consumer. USDA's
studies show farmers received 38 cents
for each dollar spent for food in 1860 The
other 81 cents of each dollar spent for
food by the consumer went for costs of
transportation, processing, storage, sales
and other expense which necessarily ac-
cumulates as the product moves from the
farm to the table.

ALTHOUGH A FEDERAL law gives
Montana and other headWater states de-
gree of priority in water use over down
stream states, no one knows just how long
this protection will last. Water needs are
becoming more pressing with every passing
year and political pressure may bring
changes in legislation which will give up
stream states less protection in the future.
American families now have 80 per
cent more children than they had so years
ago." Dr. Frank J. Welch, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture, told the National Water
head Congress recently. To-day our eSti-
mated population is about $4,000, 900. If
present trends continue, just 80 years from
now we will have to provide water for twice
as many people as we now do.
"And while our population is rising rap
idly, our demand for water is going even
faster This year we are using about 300
billion gallons of water per day. In 1890

A New Angle IN Rainmaking

ATTEMPTS AT RAINMAKING by
cloud seeding with silver iodide in Montana
were made in some areas about 10 years
ago. Results we're unsatisfactory in most
instances and no further efforts have been
made since that time with the exception of
some experiments that have been carried on
by the us. Forest Service in western Mon
tana.
One reason why this method of rainmak-
ing proved unresultful is that there were
too few rain clouds during the drought
period What clouds there were seemed to
be 'sjust empties going back to the coast
as one farmer expressed it.
Some meteorologists are still of the
opinion that there are promising possibili-
ties for cloud seeding in the northern great
plains region Pointing to frequent deficien-
cies i'm subsoil moisture they suggest that
these soil moisture reserves could be main
tanned at higher level If there were con-
tinued program of cloud seeding.

INTERNAL REVENUE Service is warn
ing taxpayers that federal tax returns will
be checked more carefully in the future.
There has been an increase in the number
of agents and every effort is going to be
made to plug some of the loopholes that
have not been watched too carefully in the
past
Special attention will be given to deduc-
tions for contributions, interests, taxes, med
ical expenses, etc. Another thing that is be-
ing checked more carefully than ever is
interest earned on U.s. Savings Bonds. IRIS
is being notified by the Bond division when
ever bonds are redeemed.
Most farmers and ranchers have been
careful to follow regulations in making out
their tax returns. AS in every other group
of citizens, however, there may be some
who have played angles that are not entirely
legitimate. It is clear that the collectors
are going to keep a sharper eye on such
returns SO the way of the transgressor will

"The legendary Greek historian HeSiOd
in his work on agriculture, The Works
and Days. told these ancient farmers
when to plow, when to plant and how to
build a plow, and then said TO the aspiring
farmer First of all get yourself an OK for
plOWing, and a woman-for work, not to
marry-one who can plOw with the oxen
In those days, the farmer was fortunate to
be able to grow enough for himself and one
or two others. Today, as we all well know
one us. farm worker produces enough for
some % others. Edmund F. Buryan.
Agricultural loans by banks continue to
increase at approximately the 5 per cent
rate experienced in 1860, according to
American Bankers Association. Requests for
all types of agricultural credit are up, with
the greatest increase in loans to purchase
livestock The sharpest increase in loan vol
ume during the past months, "A per cent,
was reported in the northern plains area.
Farmers and rancherS in this region are
diversifying their operations by adding live
stock to their grain enterprise.
"One thing essential to overall farm
program development is recognition by
the urban public of agriculture's out
standing accomplishment. IN his recent
farm message to the Congress, President
kennedy referred 10 the prOQucLIOn JOD tnlS

will blend tremendously with the
