could stand the flies no longer they
took off across the range on a dead
run and presumably were seen no
more.
How serious this situation really
was did not come to light until the
roundup produced only SIS calves for
ove 400 cows.
Hay Reserve Best
But the experiment did prove that
an adequate hay reserve is far better
insurance against drought than mi
grafton. But, had the trip proved
successful, it is probable that stock
men would have continued to stock
to the limit, banking on a quick re-
treat to the southwest when condi-
tons turned favorable.
Conditions have changed consid-
ably during the last quarter of a
century and stockmen considering
the same experiment today prob
ably would not meet the same cir
c~umstances. However, it is well to
consider them, at least casually, for
an unexpected dry year might place
stockmen, who have played too close
to the margin, in a position where
the same decision might again be
necessary.

brought only falling markets and
abundant pickings for the bone
collectors.
Gamble on Migration
But that is all history now, told
and retold by those who vainly
waited for a chinook as they plowed
through ever deepening drifts to ra-
ton out the meager supplies of
store bought hay. But there were
others too, such as the Price Bros.
of Avon, who in a final act of des-
peration, gambled on migration, the
age old curse of the herdsmen.
1t was perhaps the Prices good
fortune that the day of the open
range had drawn to a close and they
rel cutting down their herds to
fit the home ranch which, in a more
glamorous day, had been merely a
nerve center of a sprawling cow
empire.
Even then when the snow began
to fall late in October it brought
only grim forbodings of impending
disaster. During the war years they
had built up their sheep holdings,
for which feed now had to be allo-
Gated first. The sale of all market
able stock did not balance feed Cup

Siphon Tubes Assure

SIPHON TUBES for irrigation are
of the best things in the world,
says Alec Kaufman, Sheridan
county, Wyoming. He gets particular

as used on the Kaufman farm showing

The tubes rarely plug and water COM

out soil washing.
satisfaction out of being able to set
the tubes and come back later to
find them still flowing. He uses l.
inch splines for each row and has a
set of 81 but needs mor of them.
A slow flowing ditch with an even
grade will allow the tubes to work
much better. Water is siphoned di-
rectly out of bitches located around
the edge Of the field. This eliminates
cutting the ditch with a shovel and
the soil washing problem that
usually comes with this old method.
Land LeveIing
Land leveling is another favorite
project on the Kaufman place. The
latest job, not yet completed, was
done on a 27-acre beet field. Over
$500 yards of dirt were moved with
a tractor and carryall scraper and
some 5000 yards remain to COM
p1ete the job. Some fills were nearly
three feet deep. Such a program is
expensive but Kaufman is con-
WINGED that it will pay in higher pro-
duction through better irrigation.
Kaufman uses heavy applications
of n~itrates on his soil and some phos-
phate. About 1875 pounds of both
fertilizers are used to start the beets
and later he side dresses more nj
trate on the plants. He also applied
some nitrate onto a wheat field with
short grain and a played out look.
The result was a surprising growth
in the wheat. Nitrate was also ap-
Piled on a new pasture with excel
lent results. The use of this fertilizer
in irrigation was not successful be-
cause of the run-off.
Russian Wild Rye
Another experiment on this pro-
gressive farm is a test plot of Rus
sian wild rye. BY the middle of May
this grass was up and in good pas
ture condition. 1t shows promise Of
being an excellent early pasture
grass that is highly drouth resistant
for this area.
Kaufman has 200 head of Here
fords on a 918-acre range. He picks
40 to As head of 2~-year-old steers for
the feed lot each fall. They are fat
tened up on dry beet pulp, wheat,
oats and barley and some molasses.
He is not in the sheep business now
for lack of help but he knows that
the lamb feeding program is good
and intends to be back in this bust
mess when possible.

, When testing fertilizers all
WAYS use a fertilizer that carries
one element only, as against US
ing combinations of fertilizers or
fertilizers containing more than
one element
3. Apply fertilizer treatments
across the field in strips parallel
to the unfertilized strips.
a. Use different rates of the
same fertilizer side by side In
parallel strips.
5. Be sure you know how much
fertilizer is applied at the differ
ent rates. 5s
IF these rules are followd, the
county agent says it will be easy
to see at harvest time whether the
crop responded to the fertilizer
applied.
If there is no obvious difference
between the fertilized area ano
the non-fertilized area, it certain
" wouldn't be economical to ap'
ply that fertilizer to the whoi'
farm. Also If there is not an on
vious difference between the rate
of fertilizer applied, the lower
| rate is the most economical.
Another important observation
to make is the number OF year
that the effect Of the fertilizet
strips across the field can be seen
This observation will tell yo'
whether it is necessary to feruliz
every year or whether enough fer
tilizer can be applied at one tim
to last for three or four years
An example of this is fert1lzatio1
with phosphorus fertilizer. In mos
irrigated areas phosphorus fert'
Tiers need to be applied ever
wear. However, in some areas IN
effect of an APPLICATION OF phos
phate can be seen for a couple 9

18th Street Hill were to be held in a few days. That's what you had been waiting for that big chance to try it out. Sure, you'd had it on the sidewalk sev- eral times. before without the wheels falling off, but you were sure anxious to see how the pride of your life acted on her first run down the hill. You were sure she'd perform just as exepected but none the less, you could hard ly wait to run her down the hill.
 And it happened just as had ev- erything else, when they showed you off the starting blocks you had the broadest smile of any kid on the hill, but when your steer ing gear broke just 50 feet away from the starting point, life had just ended as far as you were concerned However, when she was all fixed up two days later and ready for the next run, life was really worth living again.
 Well, here it is, time for the race. Since that day last April when you went to see the soap box movies in the grade school gymnasium, you've had one big thing on your mind winning the race. You've worked in the afternoons when you would rather have been swimming; you've saved your money when the downtown movie would have been the more enjoyable and many, many times you've been in the dog house with mother and dad because of the racer. Look back at it now, see it as a lot of fun and practical training, and best of luck to you tomorrow.

BIG RACE TOMORROW AFTER } MOS. WORK; B RACERS ENTERED

It'll all happen within few hours tomorrow afternoon when up- wards of thirty-five boys from Sit- ka, Douglas and Juneau race their stream-lined and newly painted soap box cars down the 18th Street Hill to determine which boy has the fastest car and who makes that coveted race to Akron for competition in the national event.
 When the last spectator has gone home and most painstakingly built racers have found their way to the shed for the kid brother to build from next year. the boy to compete in the national race in Ohio will be known. Regret full as it is, the fellow with the fastest car is the only one Of the entire field who can make the trip to AF~on. To him, the race has just i.<gun, but to most other eI.- tries, sponsors and spectators, the classic will be buried in the files until summer rolls artund in l949. But that isn't the case; every boy in the race tomorrow tWh or lose) will at many times in his life to come look back to the final run on July 18, l948, and class 1t with the best times in this life. True. the deserving Juneau cham pion will be the envy of every en- s CSC, and 18th Street will be just ancthed h.ll until next yoar. but tomorrow's race will live until tho lJst participant is gone.
 Take that day around the first of April when a few feet of snow was still on the ground and soap box racing was a distant thought. After thoroughly reading the fun nies, you glanced at the sport page and then tossed the messed up paper on the divan for dad to read when he came home. Hey, wait minute, what's that on the back page about soap box movies being shown at the grade school gymnasium tomorrow night?" Yep, that was the first thought you had given to soap box racing in nearly a year, but from then until now you've had a good portion of rac- ing and car building with every meal. And it's been fun!
 Well. the first thing was to start making plans for the. car. Too, there was one outstanding item to be considered before getting on with the actual project. The regu- lation soap box wheels were scheduled to be in Juneau within the next month, and by some scheming method you had to have the cash on hand before making !. further plans. A few years from now when you're working in the downtown office, ten dollars will be nothing more than a bill the
