IT'S fair time again and with another Of
i Montana's best crop years reaching a
climax, the fairs promise to be the best ever
from a f~arm-livestock point of view. And
from a standpoint of entertainment, an
other year of the best seems to be assured
with nationally famous rodeos, the finest
carnival midways, lavish stage shows,
horse racing and spectacular exhibits at all
of the major expositions.
This years fair season extends from July
20, opening day of the Central Montana fair
at Lewistown, through Sept. Il, closing
date of the Chouteau County fair at Fort
Benton. Fair managers throughout the
state report that rentals for merchandising
displays featuring the latest in farm and
home equipment already exceed those of
previous years. Registrations for livestock
and agricultural exhibits are also reaching
an all-time high.

surface floor and the new dixie material.
This caused the dikes to wash out in many
places.
Then too, the bikes were put where the
eye would say they should be and allowed
some grade so that the system would flow
smoothly. This was found to be an error.
and a contour map was drawn on the area.
The original system allowed the water to
flow too fast, and channels began to be
formed. The dikes washed out that first
year, and a stock water reservoir built in
the CCC days also went out again.
The next year, the bikes were put in on
the contour of the land. Stakes were placed
to mark the position of the dikes and then
a two pronged ripper was used to rip up
the hard pan as deep as possible. Then a
bull dozer or motor patrol was used to
build up the 3 foot high bikes. Toward the
upper end of the system or in the lower
places, wherever it was assumed a con-
siderable amount of sill. would settle, the

but the water never stayed on the ground
long enough to do any good.
"The work was begun" explained Dud-
ley, with the purpose of stopping the water
erosion and facilitating water spreading
through a system of dikes that would il
turn allow the production of more forage
on the range"
Prior to construction, the 1000 acres of
land were given a N animal carrying capac-
ity of 10 head but three years later this was
raised to 50 head, an increase of 312 times.
The cost of development was about So an
acre.
The work was started in 1915 and fol-
lowed along the usual lines considered
common practice in the area. The dikes
were laid out herringbone style, following
the practice of most ranchers in the area,
who diked across the cuts in a manner that
allows the water to spread but also flow
down the slope of the land. The slope here,
incidentally, was from " to IL percent.
First bikes Unsatisfactory
This initial diking, lone with a motor
patrol grader, was unsuccessful in many
ways. The position of the dikes was scraped
clean by the blade and then the dirt was
thrown up onto the smooth surface. The
result was a lack of bono between the hard

CHANGING the gumbo-hardpan sage
~ land of southeastern Montana into pro-
ductive range with 3Ha times the animal car
rying capacity it formerly rated sounds like
nothing short of miraculous, but it has been
accomplished on the Alzada water spread
ing project of the bureau of land manage
ment in Carter county.
According to Tom Dudley, range man.
ager, bureau of land management, Miles
City, the secret of increasing forage on
this type of land lies in spreading the water
(mostly spring run-off and heavy flood
waters from rains) over the range with a
system of dikes that will hold the water
for a time but also allow it to flow around
and Hood lower diked areas.
l.000-Acre Project
The project involved 1000 acres of gumbo
land, much of which was cut up with deep
gullies and washed-out draws. The area was
one of baked, hardpan soil with sage brush
and very little range grass. Surrounding
hills formed a considerable drainage basin,

years later "a good stand of native range grass

In the Aid to Dependent Children

needy children living with one
parent or other relatives up to their
10th birthday or up to their 18th
| birthday if they attend school
regularly. The maximum amount
allowed under the state law IS SIS.
for the first child in the home, $40.
for the second and IS. for each addi-
tional child. The Federal law is
much more liberal, but grants can
not be increased until our State
law is changed.
For the month of August, checks
averaging $26.31 were sent to 6,470
homes representing 1920 children.
IF the home is at all decent and
respectable. it is much better to-
keep the children there, if possible,
than to snd them to an institution.
Because of the interest in TAX
