First, many teen-agers have

these teen-agers do not consid-
er "payola" to be immoral.
However, I do feel that pay

to give an unfair advantage to
those who can afford it. In this
way I agree with you.
"The effect Of payola has
been grossly exaggerated. One
cannot deny that hearing q

tions, IL 1t is not good" it just

it probably would have made 1t
anyway. There are countless
examples Of this.
"Of course, many other fac

USDA Planning To
Tighten PCS Law

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)--
The Department of Agriculture is
drawing up proposals aimed at furth-
er Tightening the Packers & Stock
yards Act for the benefit of the indie
pendent producers.
One proposal under study would
require market agencies to have sepa-
rate bank accounts for the purchasing
of livestock and poultry, giving the
USDA authority to audit these ac-
counts.
This would end widespread prac-
tice today of using the farmers mon
ey to operate the agency, by requir-
ing the marketing agency to either
pay cash or have sufficient money
to cover the. purchases.
Another proposal would prohibit
packers or other marketing agencies
from charging sellers any commission
or Service fee" for buying their live
stock for slaughter. This proposal
would put an end to buying lots which
are not registered under the Prs
Act but who charge "service fees"
to sellers in competition to stock
yards and auction agencies.

Coop Leader
Predicts Farm
Income Climb

RICHMOND, Va.-(CNS)-In the
next 10 years farmers incomes will
approach the level of the early 1950s,
w. T. Steele, Jr., manager of South
ern States Cooperative, predicted
here October 26. Through cheap food,
he said, Farmers have subsidized
consumers as much or more than the
governments have ever subsidized
farmers"
Reporting to the regional co-op's
members. Steele said sales dropped
go this year-to $131, $4,000. Feed
tonnage dropped $50 and fertilizer
%, while petroleum shipments
rose II %.
The coop also marketed a sharply
increased volume of grain for its
members and somewhat more eggs
and poultry. They'll get back 60 cents
for each $10O they spent with the
coop last year and | " cents bushel
on grain they marketed.
Steele pointed out that Southern
States Cooperative had cut back
broiler output, hoping to get better
prices for it's members. However,
competitors expanded output, result
ing in further market glut and lower
prices.

The federal agencies, according to
these alleged economists, should be
forced to comply to the shifting
propaganda of the Montana Power
Co. (Which exerts more than an I'M
due influence over Don Nutter and
his Birchite companions) in these
following ways.
1. Abandon the theory of beneficial
use in water rights and have water
rights operate the same as property
rights.
2. Abandon the practice of null
tiple-use projects, such as Hungry
Horse and Yellowtail.
8. The payment of perpetual black
mail if federal project should dimin-
ish private right recognized by Mon
tana. A reverse twist stab at IVA
type developments.
A 'That where a federal agency
takes an action which damages rights
of present owners, such agency should
purchase or condemn such rights with
due process and payment of just
compensation This idle suggestion
implies that we presently use FBI

Points 5, IL and IL hinge on the
federal power to control navigation
of the rivers and streams. The man
agement of federal projects would
be superseded by state laws. The
Federal Power Commission would be
superseded by state laws. The super
session was limited at in the Flood
Control Act of 1914 which allegedly
gave state laws west of Minnesota
precedence over navigation for the
purposes of domestic, municipal, irri-
cation, stock water, mining and in
dustrial consumption. The pressure
of committee intellect is very low
in this zone. Ns a
6. Recognition of property rights
to water should be first considera-
ton of the Corps of Engineers and
the Bureau of Reclamation. The laws
of physics just don't work in this
committee. How can you have a prop
erty right to a free flowing fluid?
z. Underground water belongs to
the surface owner. We want nickel
a cup for any that seeps out of Mon
tana.

ity. We want to drink our own pollu-
ton.

and wild life are ours only-our only

Fish & Wildlife, go back to D. G.
10. We also should run the Forest
Service and the Indian Bureau be-
cause their lands have Montana water
under them.
13. No regional authorities to con-
troll water. They might know what
they are doing. Stick with the in
effectua1 laundering interstate COM
pact.
IA. Geological preference clauses,
whatever they are, in all future water
projects. Neurological low pressure
might keep all the water in Montana
and drown us all.

about underground water

Geological mysticism is an inter-
esting new facet on the Montana poll
teal scene. Professor Sid Croft from
the Butte School of Mines, who has
announced he may be a candidate
for the Republican bid to unseat
Arnold Olsen in the Western District,
gave the Governors Economic Com
mittee taste of geological mysticism
last week.
According to Croft, and some oil
we'll promoters from Denver, the
Blackfeet reservation contains one
of the five great new wonders of the
world-a low pressure area. In these
places the laws of physics don't work
anymore because of peculiarities of
the earth's structure. They say that
everything (water, oil, earth) tries
to push into these areas therefore it
would be safe to dump the atomic
wastes from Hanford into oil wells
that didn't produce oil, on the reser-
walton. The catch is that the Atomic
Energy Commission is supposed to
drill the wells. If they don't get dry
holes the corporation formed by the
Denver boys and the Blackfeet won't
charge thing for the holes and will
gladly find another place in the slow
pressure area" to dump the deadly
concentration of radioactive liquids.
Everybody wants to help out for a
fast buck or two but the Hanford
plant is not too sure that it's wastes"
should be dumped anywhere. Because
of fast developing scientific and in
dustrial information in the radiation
energy yield, the waste may be new
resource. Methods are. being devsl-
oped to make the waste into a more
storable solid. r
The Governors Advisory Commit
tee on Economic Studies is another
wonder of the earth with it's low pres
sure zone of political thinking. In a
14-point paper they in effect say
ego to help to the rest of the world.
They intend to abrogate the basic
tenets of water rights in their con-
sideration of the underground water
of the state which is probably, of
more volume than exists on the sur
face.
The only reason a water right is
given to private, corporate or state
and federal governments is on the
premise of beneficial use.
The NeanderthaI economic brain
trust imagines that the old political

Wheat interests from farm bin to
mill roller are studying what's going
to happen when the new sedimenta-
ton (Zeleny) test takes over next
year. SASt
AS you know, the u. S. Department
of Agriculture has announced that
the sedimentation test will replace
the protein test for determining pre-
MUM payments on all 1962-crop
wheat in the loan program. &@
1t has already set the schedule of
premiums to be paid, ranging from
three to "a cents per busheI for vary
ing qualities of hard red spring, hard
red winter, and hard white wheat.
p The sedimentation test, developed
by DR.. Zeleny, USDA cereal chemist,
is a measure of the baking quality
of wheat, which now is related in the
market places to protein content.
THREE REASONS FOR
i PUTTING INTO EFFECT,
The test, which will replace the
well-known protein test as basis for
wheat premiums, is being put into
effect for three reasons, says the De-
partment of Agriculture. Those rea-
sons are: 1893 as1st9
l. Protein percentage of wheat is
not reliable test of the bread bak-
ing strength of wheat. @@ J
2. Present wheat marketing prac-
tees do not provide for premiums or
recognition of wheat with good glu-
ten strength and therefore producers
of this wheat may not receive ade-
quate premiums.
g.. Wheat is currently exported on
grade basis and therefore the for
eign buyer is unable to determine the
value of United States wheat for
blending before purchase.
Despite the governments explana-
ton, however, considerable argument
has developed in many trade quarters
over the merits of the sedimentation
test. The pros and cons are many
and range from scientific criticism
to details of reconciling the new test
plan with the old protein test when it
comes to settling up for the wheat
from previous-year crops already in
storage and ibargained for.
GTA people have, been attending
government meetings held
at various points in the Upper Mid
west. in order to become thoroughly
acquainted with all sides of the ques-
ton. A program is being set up to
keep farmers informed of all phases
of the program.
{ GTA officials have made it clear
that the real test of any program of
this kind is whether the premiums
really get to the farmer instead of
being channeled off to other sources.
p Will premiums paid be higher than
under the present protein system?
There's argument, but Doty Labora-
tories of Kansas City, Missouri, a pri-
waite research group that gathers in
formation and sells it as service to
bakers and millers, has analysed what
could happen in North Dakota.
WOULD DOUBLE ND. PREMIUMS
According to the FARGO FORUM,
the laboratory believes the new test
would about double premiums paid in
that state. They are now receiving
an average of seven cents bushel, |
or total of $6,566,350. Under the
new test and schedule of premiums,

kota farmers of $11, 256,6OO.
The analysing was done using the
10-year average production of hard
red spring wheat in North Dakota Of
93,805,0OO bushels, and the 10 cents
per bushel premium paid for wheat
grading so to "a points in the Zeleny
test, the FARGO FORUM reports.
The schedule of premiums an
nounced by the USDA runs from
three cents bushel for wheat testing
40 to "A points to "a cents for wheat
testing 65 and higher in the sedimen-
tation test. The Doty firm said that
North Dakota wheat would average
about so points.
USDA says the sedimentation test
tried commercially for the first
time in export last December on six
test shipments to Japan-can open
new doorways to foreign markets.
The test, a product o marketing re-
search by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is quick and
simple to perform, and inexpensive to
make. 1t indicates the bread-baking
qualities of wheat better than any
other single test except the actual
baking of loaf of bread. As such,
it is designed to offer buyers advance
knowledge of the baking strength of
the wheat they buy, according to.
USDA. r s
New varieties of wheat are continu-
ally being developed to resist disease,
insects, drouth, and other crop haz-s
ards or to better suit improved farm
ing methods. Sometimes in the breed
ing process other qualities are weak
ened making the new variety less
desirable.
ADDS TO INFORMATION
This has resulted in wheat varieties
that are 'less strong" and less de-
sirable for ultimate baking use. The
test. by measuring the strength of
wheat, adds to the information the
miller and baker have in working out
their flour and bread-making for
mulas, USDA claims.
For the most part, United States
bread flour is made from hard red
winter and hard red spring wheats
grown chiefly in the Great Plains.
The test reveals which varieties of
these two classes are the stronger"
and thus superior for bread
baking use.
In the past, the subsidy rate under
the "payment-in-kind" program from
west coast ports has been based on
white wheat prices. This has resulted
for the most part, in a lower rate
for hardared winter wheats at these
ports than at other port locations.
With the establishment of a uni
form subsidy rate for hard red winter
wheat exports from all coasts, USDA
has moved to open new markets in
the Far East. Also, the special export
to Japan, for which the sedi-
tests have been made, will
permit pricing commercial-size lots of
United States-produced hard red win
ter wheat comparatively with compar-
able quality wheat produced in other
countries.
To popularize bread and other hard
wheat foods in Japan, USDA repre-
sentatives, producer groups including
and others have carried
on a market development program
there since 1856. This has been done
