More Freedom to Farm
Than in Good Old Days

We do not have less freedom
than we had so years ago. We
have infinitely more freedom.
The controls" on farming are
the controls we ourselves de-
manded, because we had learn
ed the hard way that a farm
economy out of control destroys
the freedom to farm at all.
When you have lived as long
as we have, you don't expect
perfection, in farm programs
or much of anything else. You
don't expect easy solutions. You
don't expect to get anything
for nothing. Andrew and l are
going to vote eyes" for the new
wheat program, which is just a
new version of the old program
we worked so long and hard to
get and to improve. We won't
be voting for Santa Claus. Well
be voting to protect the hard
won gains of half a century.

factors in the Montana econ
omy.
If more than one-third vote
no, they will drastically under
mine both income and credit
and will kill the effectiveness of
wheat legislation as an economic
stabilizer, although a no-vote
will not eliminate the new
law. Even with a no-vote the
law will still be there, but the
value of the program will be so
grossly reduced as to leave very
little protection for farmers and
l might add that such a result
will leave little protection for
their businessmen and worker
neighbors, since the welfare of
these groups is closely inter-
twined with that of farmers, es-
pecially in Montana where ag-
riculture is the main industry.
The 1864 wheat program was

us. Senators and Congress
men the people voted for wrote
the program for wheat after
years of debate and months of
hearings and studies. Everyone
had a chance to be heard. The
measure was signed by a Presi-
dent who was elected by the
people. The program is being
administered by a Secretary of
Agriculture appointed by the
elected President, and the farm
er-elected community and coun-
ty committees.
Freedom is being expanded

Yes Vote Must 70

Voting yes in the May Il
wheat referendum is the only
way the small wheat producer
can assure himself of a price
that will enable him to stay in
wheat production, Edwin Chris
tianson, president of the Mimi
esota Farmers Union, said.
Under the old program, he
said, the small wheat grower
had a reasonable price for his
wheat only because there was a
program holding up the open
market price upon which he re-

Mansfield Says
Vote we"

Senator Mike Mansfield of
Montana, the majority leader of
the Senate, says the 1864 wheat
program at stake in the May Il
wheat referendum is a sensible
and workable" solution to some
of agriculture's most pressing
problems.
81 am confident that if wheat
growers study the economic
benefits they will receive under
this program they will approve
it on May 81" Mansfield said in
a recent statement to his sena-
torial colleagues.
The Montanan said he has
generally supported most farm
programs because he has seen
no other alternative to some of
agriculture's serious commodity
problems.
But, he said, he sees no rea-
son to consider new legislation
this year in the event farmers
should reject the referendum.
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-15

ing the huge carryover of wheat
down to manageable levels, to
maintain safe and adequate sup
plies of good food at reasonable
prices to the consumers and to
reduce farm program costs for
the taxpayers.
For the first time also in our
history the new wheat program
establishes a national bushel-
age quota for wheat at not less
than one billion bushels a year.
We understand the Secretary
will establish the 1864 bushel
quota at one and two tenths bill
lion bushels translated into
state, county and farm quotas
using 1868 acreage allotments.
1t is estimated that only 49.5
million acres of wheat cropland
will be needed to produce the
national quota. This is a 10 per-
cent diversion from the old ma
tional acreage allotment of 3d.
000, 1000 acres. The national
quota is translated into approx
mately a 10 percent diversion on
each wheat farm. | wish to en-
phasize this is a diversion from
the old or 1861 or 1868 acreage
allotment and not a new cut in
addition to the voluntary 20
percent of this year as some
people are enormously saying.
Nevertheless, the diverted acres
will still be in the income pic
ture through other uses.
In consideration for cooperat-
ing with this adjustment in pro-
duction growers will be assur-
ed, if they vote yes in the refer
endum, 81 a bushel national
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-15

average price support on an estl-
mated 80 percent of the normal
yield on the new allotment and
a price floor of $1.30 a bushel
loan rate national average on
the remaining 20 percent of the
production on the allotted acres
and the production above nor
NAL yield on all the allotted
acres. Montana growers must
take into account, however, the
freight rate differentials on the
negative side and premium pay
ments on~the positive side in de-
termining total income for
wheat.
For cooperating in the pro-
duction adjustments, growers
will receive payments for the
10 percent of the old acreage
allotment diverted from pro-
duction of wheat. The 10 per-
cent diversion is required as
part of the program. Another
diversion of up to 20 percent
more of wheat allotment acres,
on a voluntary basis, will be
available to growers, with in
creased payments.
There is an important 1nsur-
ance feature in the wheat pro-
gram: cooperating growers will
receive certificates to be worth
70 cents per bushel on 80 per-
cent of the normal yield on the
planted allotted acres for 1864.
The value of those certificates
will be available to growers
even with a below normal crop.
The function of the certificates
is to help maintain an orderly
flow of wheat to market and
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-15

help stabilize farm family in
come.
Another insurance feature IS
contained to some extent in the.
payments for diverting wheat
land to other uses. A grower
can receive half his land diver
sion payment in advance when
he signs up for the program.
A new feature also of the '64
wheat program is the inter-
changeability of acres of wheat
with acres of feed grain if there
is a feed grain program in 1864.
The if is a big one, of course. 1t,
is difficult to say now for GER
tainty that Congress will enact
a feed program for 1864. The
prospects look good. 1t will very
likely be a voluntary feed grain
law much like the one we have
in 1868. However, should the
interchangeability now author
lied in the new wheat law be
also provided for by a new feed
grain law there will be a new
element of flexible operation
available to grain growers that
looks very attractive and it is
understood such interchange
ability could be done without
loss Of allotment or base acres
for those who stay in compliance
on both programs.
In summary then, the new
wheat program, if approved by
growers, offers price support of
81 a bushel for most of the
wheat marketed, $1.30 loan rate
floor, additional payments for
diverting wheat acres to other
uses, and an opportunity to

1 certainly hope that every
eligible woman will vote in the
wheat referendum this year.
It's not only our right but our
duty to vote wisely in this mat
ter which effects both our in
come and our freedom.
We're hearing a lot of silly
talk about freedom, by people
who are really talking about an
archy. Some of these people
spectators, professors, and a
few very large farmers-are in
a position to profit from anoth-
er farm depression. The social
ed free market in agriculture
led to the blacklist depression
the world has ever known. A
very few got very rich, but the
rest of us suffered cruelty and
needlessly. Our young people
know little about this, fortunate
ly for them. But they will learn
very fast if they vote to "get
the government out of agricul-
ture." 1t could all happen
again. Along with unlimited
freedom to plant would come
the freedom to go broke, to
lose the farm, to leave the land.
Andrew and 1 know all about
the good old days." He home
steaded in Sheridan County
more than so years ago. This
was truly a land of opportunity,
but it was up to us to make the
opportunity unfold. God knows
it took hard work, but farm
work alone would never have
got the job done. So much of
the work in those days was
needless drudgery, because we
had no electric power. So much
of our work went for nothing,
because we had no bargaining
power; no laws to protect
prices, and no cooperatives to
protect our interest when we
bought and sold.
The most important work we
did was to organize grain and
oil and electric cooperatives,
and a Farmers Union to make
our voices heard where laws
are made.

No Matter How You Look
AT Ii Real Issue Is Wheat
Price and Income

No matter how you look at it,
the real issue in the wheat re-
ferendum May 81 is the price of
wheat and the income to the
producer.
There are 24,272 wheat pro-
ducers in Montana, according to
the National Wheat Committee
and they stand to lose a combin-
ed income of $48 million if a
"no" vote prevails.
The wheat referendum pre-
sents farmers a clear-cut choice
"a vote for or against a wheat
program; for or against more
farm income; and quite possibly
for or against future wheat, feed
grain and dairy programs as
well. This year the stakes are
greater and more far-reaching
than ever before.
A eyes" vote by two-thirds
of the growers will insure a
reasonably high level of income
for the farmers of our area. A
mo" vote, according to the best
authorities, could very well re-
suit in disastrous farm income
conditions for a long time to
come.
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-15

Two most important assets at
stake in the wheat referendum
are farm income and farm Gre
dit. Growers who vote yes will
be taking action to safeguard
those assets and will be keeping
opportunities open for develop
ing greater economic stability
for farm and ranch families.
For more than $50 years, I'M
til the 1905, American farm
ers carried all the risks of farm
ing and there are many. Mean
while, beginning early in our
nations history private indus
try with whom farmers must
deal sought and obtained many
government projections to soft
en- their risks.
Without a federal farm pro-
gram in the 1920's American
farmers piled up hundreds of
millions of bushels of unwanted
wheat.
Since 1860 Improvements
have been made in the US farm
program which have increased
net farm income more than 81
billion a year, cut government
carryover costs, and lifted the
exports of wheat to record lev
els.
When wheat farmers vote in
the referendum they will be
taking action on a major in
come producer in Montana. If
two-thirds or more of those vot-
ing vote yes in the referendum
they will be holding and i'm
proving their wheat income le-
vel and they will be holding a
credit base, two very important
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-15

The 15-acre producer will have
a chance to vote for the first
time if he chooses to come I'M
der the program. He will be
expected to divert acres from
his base much like the more
than 15-acre producers if he
wishes to qualify for price sup
ports and land use payments.
Production of the 15-acre pro-
ducers will be outside the ma
tional quota, and thus they will
not be absorbing quotas of the
larger producers.
The 1864 wheat program was
developed democratically with
in the framework of the form
of government set forth in that
great document of freedom, the
Constitution of the United
States of America.
Finally, the growers them
selves are going to choose by
secret ballot May Il the kind
of program under law with
which they want to work in
1864.
Approval of the higher bene-
fits to the new wheat program
will permit much freedom of
management. If the yes-vote
prevails a farmer will have
many alternatives he can choose
in planning for the most desir-
able operation during 1864. And
one should not have to mention
it, but it is a great deal easier
to make choices in daily living
when there is money available
than when there is poverty.

2. We are trying to enlarge
the market for wheat, to export
more wheat. The government
has helped to do this, at the cost
of subsidies and other payments.
Wheat and flour exports are

Print Unions
Plan Merger
By the Associated Press

A merger agreement by the
leaders of two printing trades
unions has been announced by
AFL-CIO President George
Meany.
Mr.. Meany said he would
recommend approval Of the
proposed merger to the ALL
CLIO Executive Council meet
ing which begins next Monday
Affected are the 20, 000-mem-
Der international Photo En-
gravers Union Of North Amer
lea and the 4O,000-membel
Amalgamated Lithographers Of
America. The. engravers are
affiliated with the AFL-CIC
and the photographers were af-
filiated before going independ-
ent in 1858. The merged unior
would be affiliated with the
AFL-CIO.
1.-THE presidents Of these two
unions reported to me that
after a year Of discussion anC
negotiation, the executive coun-
ellis of both unions were recon.
mending to their conventions
that the two unions merge,
Mr.. Meany said yesterday.
"It seems to me that such a
merger is truly in the interest
of labor unity and fully con-
sistent with the policies Of the
AFL-CIO."
Mr.. Meany's announcement
followed q meeting in his Of
flee with Kenneth j. Brown
president Of the lithographer'
and William ]. Hall, president
of the engravers.
If approved by the AFL-CIC
Executive Council the merger
proposal will be placed before
the conventions Of the two
unions later this year. If they
approve, the matter will be
referred to members Of both
unions for a mail vote. If they
approve it, a convention woulc
be called to write a constitu-
ton for the new union, which
also would have to be approved
lby the members of both unions
