FARM BUREAU PLAN
WOULD HURT MONTANA

"The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton recognizes that the problem
of SURPRISES of wheat and other COM
modities must be met and the tremen-
dous cost of storing surplus commodi-
ties, five hundred million dollars last
year for feed grains alone, must be
eliminated. 1t recognizes the only
way this can be done is by reducing
production. The solution proposed by
the Farm Bureau is the removal of
sixty to eighty million acres of land
from production of farm crops. The
Farm Bureau ADVOCATES the retire
ment of whole farm units through
the soil bank plan. The Bureau does
not favor high supports, rather it
fayors supports at approximately |
500 of parity.
eff the Bureaus proposal were
adopted the elimination of farm
units in Montana would be greatly
accelerated with a consequent re-
duction of market for Montana's
merchants.
II think every merchant in Mon
ANA should give careful study to the
,wo alternatives because he has a
'eal stake in what is done in Wash
ngton in 1862.

REDUCTION OF SURPLUS
MUST COME FIRST

while it would be wonderful if
Montana farmers were free to plant
and grow whatever crops they want
and in any amount the cold hard fact
is that our government now has nine
billion dollars invested in loans and
ownership of surplus crops. The tax
payers of the country will not long
countenance this situation. The Ken
needy proposal would by marketing
quotas eliminate the surplus in five
years, while at the same time MAIN
tanning farm income. Once that sur
plus is removed we can start talking
about removal of controls but not
until then. ~ rStoJ
Montana farmers have voted over
for controls in the past |
because they know what the prob
lem and how disastrous elimination |

History Bluffs Will
Find State Interesting

History bluffs will find much of
interest in Delaware this summer,
advises the Delaware State De-
velopment Department.
Particularly recommended by
the state information agency to the
summertime visitor are visits to
Fort Delaware, on Pea Pa h
Island, in the Delaware River, and
to Lewes and Milford, two lower
Delaware communities that will
be marking anniversaries with
special events during the summer
months.
Fort Delaware dates from 1913
when a wooden structure was built
on Pea Patch Island for the de-
fense of the river approaches to
Philadelphia and other upstream
ports. Destroyed by fire in 1882,
the fort eventually reappeared as
a larger masonry structure COM
pleted in 1859. During the Civil
War, it gained it's greatest fame
or notoriety as a prison for cap
tured Confederate soldiers.
After being in "active status
during World Wars / and ii, the
fort was abandoned and t h e
property reverted to the State of
Delaware W itch subsequently
designated it as a state park. Now
partly restored as a result of the
combined efforts of the State Park
Commission and the Fort Delaware
Society, it is gaining popularity as
tourist attraction and is playing
prominent role in the current
Civil War Centennial observance.

In order to prevent indoctrination,
would result in ignorance and hos

The bishops statement reads:
L deeply regret the Supreme
Court decision declaring that off

are unconstitutional However, this
ruling was made necessary by the
unwise and unfortunate action o
the Board of Regents of the State
of New York in creating an "offi-
ciap' prayer, however general that
prayer might appear.
Broadly interpreted, this decis-
ion will make unconstitutional the
reciting of the Lords Prayer, part
of our great religious heritage. We
are a religious people, this is our
tradition. The religious faith o
America has inspired our history
as a people and is embodied in our
institutions. If we therefore ex-
clude religion from the scope of
the public schools responsibilities,
we are in essence false to our re-

we are a religious people with a
religious tradition that all religions
