Recipe for Successful
Irrigation Farming
BY H. L. DUSENBERRY

much they took in and about how
much it cost to produce the crops
and livestock this year. Mr.. A and
Mr.. B are on irrigated farms and
each of them is typical of a lot of
other farmers.
Let us look at MI. AS record and
see how he made out. Several years
ago MI. A discovered that his yields
were dropping off and became
alarmed about it. AS a result he be-
gan studying up on soil fertility and
finally adopted a rotation that put
one-third of his land in cash crops,
one-third in hay crops and one-third
in grain crops.
His rotation consisted of barley
one year, alfalfa three years, oats
one year, beans one year, sugar beets
one year. Manure and phosphate are
used with each beet crop. 1t was a
little difficult getting started on this
rotation, but after about three years
he had the farm divided up into nine
fields about equal in size and was
well under way with the rotation
Good Yields
This year his beets yielded 1875
tons per acre, alfalfa averaged 3.5
tons per acre, oats IS bushels per
acre, barley 70 bushels per acre and
beans 80 bushels per acre. In order
to obtain these yields he had to do
a good job of irrigation and it kept
one man busy most of the time.
Mr.. B also realized the need for
maintaining soil fertility. but was
not set up in a definite rotation. He
usually raises about the same crops
but has no regular sequence. One of
his fields should have been reseeded
two years ago, but the high cost of
seed discouraged him, so he has not
reseeded any land for two years
now.
During the war fertilizer was
scarce, so only small applications
were put on the beets. Also, good
labor has been hard to get, and cost
ly, SO the fields were not manured
for the beets. MIR B decided to do
his own work with his family and
save labor. AS a result, irrigation
was often late and the crops suf-
fered.
MI. B harvested a fair first crop
of alfalfa and a short second crop,
total yield is tons per acre. The
beets yielded IL tons per acre, bar
ley SIS bushels per acre and oats IS
bushels per acre. No beans were
grown this year.
Comparative Cost
This fall Mr.. A got to figuring how
much more it had cost him to pro-
duce his crop, as compared to his
neighbor. He came up with a set of
figures that looked like this:
For labor he had paid approx
mately $1,000 more, for fertilizer $50,
for alfalfa seed $75 and gas and oil
$50 more, or a total of S1,715 more
in operating costs than had his
neighbor, Mr.. B. Quite a handicap to
overcome. When he added up the
figures due to yield difference, he
found his barley crop was worth
$500 more than his neighbours, hi:
oats $3.50, alfalfa $3.50 and beet:
1920 more than his neighbor, Mr.
BIS crop. The total difference wa:
$500. MIR. A was quite relieved be

based on "a defnable. identifiabl

as our retirement from the extent

Senator Vandenberg pointed to
repercussions abroad since the
House action to point up the impact
OF American moves in foreign af-
fairs. Communists abroad have been
saying the cut shows that the United
States will not go through with its
foreign aid program.
In reply to a question by Sena-
tor OMahoney. Democrat. of Wy
oming. Senator Vandenberg said
We are not proceeding abroad as
either economic or military imperial
lists as repeatedly charged by the
Communists.
The Michigan Senator said he has
very deep confidence" in ECA Ad-
ministrator Paul G. Hoffman and
that the committee should have as
much confidence in his handling of
the last billion as you place in him
for the first four billions"
The ECA appropriation was cut
by the House from S5,745 ,000, 900 for
u months to S4,o00,000,OOO for IS
months
1t was clear from committee ques-
tioning that the majority favors
partial If not complete restoration
of the House cuts but indications
were that some compromise figure
will be reached when the bill goes
to Senate-House conference. The
intensity Of Senator Vandenberg'
attack on the stretching of the
funds over three additional months
may be expected to result in a
Senate reversal of this particular
House move.
Others Will Testify Today.
