Every farmer would like to be guaranteed $3.00 per bu shel, but the price he has to pay for that kind of a protected in come is becoming apparent to some wheat farmers. Politicians of both parties have made wheat growing so profitable that a lot of corn growers, bean growers and hog raisers have turned to wheat. Where wheat was not a profit able crop in many states prior to 90 percent price supports to day it is extremely profitable. But the profit of the corn grow er, bean grower and hog raiser has been at the expense of the wheat grower of the Great Plains and the Northwest. ' i Ninety percent price supports encouraged hundreds of farmers to plant up to 15 acres of wheat even though they had raised no wheat for years. You can ration and limit the right to produce, but you cannot legislate the right to plant without encour aging repudiation at the ballot box. For that reason the num ber of wheat growers in the na tion increases steadUy, while those who are best equipped to raise wheat are forced to share their right to produce. Perhaps there is a lesson for the wheat producer in what has happened to tobacco. Tobacco has had a 90 percent price sup port for years. In the beginning 90 percent was popular numbers of producers. Since only a cer tain amount of tobacco can be consumed, the right to produce tobacco had to be rationed so that more producers each year could share in the profits. The minimum quota for Bur ley tobacco is nine-tenths of an acre. Since no producer has an allotment of less than nine tenths of an acre, new allot ments for new producers must come from allotments of more than nine tenths of an acre. Today ninety percent of the Kentucky and Tennessee farms producing Burley tobacco have allotments of nine-tenths of an acre. In most communities there the tobacco allotment is the most valuable portion of the farm sale price, being worth $1,000 to $2,000 an acre to farm sale value. Fifteen acres is the minimum quota for wheat production. The number of 15 acre wheat quotas increases each year ninety per cent price supports are main tained. Wheat farmers only need look to the Burley tobacco grow ers to see the direction their commodity is headed if ninety percent or any high, rigid price support is long continued. if ri - w-5fvv wit" :s-ssx- SSSS - i. -Vs s ssss.'s S SSSS S. t S SV S JS gV S 4 SJ.S .s ss 4. t-' ' 4 s-. 5 s s5"- Livestock Market Is Pointing Up; Severa!

Cash Value of Com Silage Farmers wondering about the cash value of ' their corn silage should ask their County Exten sion Agent, for Extension Circu lar 131 "Corn and Sorghum Sil age" now available at his office. The circular points out that the cash value of corn silage may be calculated as follows: The amount of corn grain in well-eared silage is about 4 bushels per ton, and the total di gestible nutrient content of the stalk portion of one ton of sil age is equavaJent to about 340 pounds of mixed hay. A com mon method of arriving at the price of corn silage is to rate it at one-third the local price cfi legume hay on the farm. Silage made from well matur ed corn will be 25 to 35 per cent 1 higher in tot&l digestible nutri-; ents and dry matter than silage made from immature corn.
