Our Soil, a Trust to Keep
By LOREN EVANS, Lake County, Winner,
State FLA Public Speaking Contest

A MERICA wake up! it is time for
a every individual to start taking
an interest in our land. AS citizens
and Future Farmers, 1t is up to each
and every one of us to do this.
Living in western Montana, one
of the most beautiful and produc-
tive areas in the United States, we,
as elsewhere, depend on soil.
This soil produces our food, our
clothing and our shelter. Besides,
it is our home now, and the home OF
generations to come.
Most people realize that a ma
TONS wealth is based upon her nat
ural Her marching army
could not stand up if it were not for
her soil. Nor could any factories or
mills operate were it not for her soil.
Yes, our soil is a great trust. 1t has
been given to man to use as a paid
servant, a servant, nevertheless, that
requires u care and attention.
Soil a Servant
AS an example, picture our so1 as
a dutiful servant that has been
faithful and has given is her best.
Then comes the time when this
faithful servant grows old and is at
tackled by diseases OF disabling ac-
cidents and is about worn out in
the struggle. You are the only one
at hand to help. So you start fight
ing without delay.
That faithful servant is soil,
and we are its overseer, or master.
1t is true that vi soil is lying help
less before its enemies-wind ero-
sion, water seepage and weeds.
Living in Lake county, where
there is diversified farming, | have
chosen it as an example of how our
precious soil is being overrun by
her enemies.
Lake county, as far as a be de-
termined, emerged from a lake about
$4,000 years ago. Farming is very
young here compared to other places
In New England some farms date
back 10 generations. This land was
open for demonstrating in 1910, Or ir
other words, farming has been going
on here for only one generation. Ye-
during this short time, we find the
following has taken place:
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-01

MANY of the leading sheepmen
AVA in the western states have con-
clusively demonstrated the value of
grading their ewes for higher pro-
duction. Real progress has been
made in New Mexico, Wyoming and
Montana. Much remains to be. done,
however, if the range sheepman is
to continue. He must realize that
he is already In closer competition

ing.
with the foreign woolgrower as the
result of the IS percent reduction
in the wool tariff.
Increased production by the ewes
can definitely be accomplished by
the consistent and thorough applica-
ton of two principles.
1. Grading - Examination of
every breeding eve and each re-
placement eve, lamb or yearling
and disposing of all individuals that
do not meet fixed, high standards.
2. Breeding = Adopting a specific,
longtime breeding plan aimed at
improvement of the selected ewes
and breeding only the kind of rams
which can accomplish improvement.
Proved Principles
These two principles are tried and
proved, both experimentally and
practically, and a grower who APP
plies them car be assured of definite
results toward higher returns.
There are many supporting factors
to the two principles, many of which
most sheepmen already recognize
and use. For example, many opera
tors mouth and bag" all their breed
ing ewes each fall. These two jobs
should eve be neglected. Shipping
all shelly" ewes and those which
have lost their fleeces is likewise
a must" Lamb crop percentages
cannot be maintained or increased
if these things are not done.
Other factors which are less COM
monty considered are large, smooth
bodies; open faces; heavy bone;
heavy milking; uniformity; and as
regards the wool production, long
staple, strong fiber, density, high
clean : yield full body covering,
uniform fineness, attractive white
fleeces with a bold crimp. All of
these add up to more dollars per
head of sheep shorn. ,
It is even more important that
most of these factors be applied to
all rams that are used for breeding
selected ewes. Any ram which does
not measure-up should be either
sold or shipped.
Staple Length

this article illustrate a distinct diff
ference in staple length. This factor

were about three tons per acre. Now
on the same land, the best that can
be expected is ~ tons. What does
this mean? 1t ear a great loss in
top soil which amounts to about
100 acres of crop land, per year, due
to seepage and land becoming aka
liked. This is caused by poor surface
and underground drainage. Much of
this surplus water which causes
drainage problems, comes from leak
ing supply canals. Much, too, comes
from over-irrigation by individual
farmers whose land is not properly
prepared for irrigation.
There are about 100 farms on 3d.
900 acres of dryland in Lake
ty. This land is subjected to both
water and wind erosion.
There are about so livestock oper-
ators on 100000 acres of range land.
Some of it is in good condition, due
to good management, and will sup
port large numbers of livestock;
other ranges have been overgrazed
in the past to a point where the de-
sirable grasses, such as bunch grass,
have disappeared and inferior
grasses, like cheat grass, have
taken ver a large portion of the
range. In earlier years it is reported,
too, that it was possible to cut hay
OF the range, but a person would
find difficulty in doing so now.
In 1947 the crop return from ir-
rigated land alone, was worth $4,-
212,000. The return from cherries
was about 100000. The return from
wheat on dryland was about $1,000,-
900. Do we want to neglect this
golden land, this servant, that gives
us such fine returns?
Problem Worldwide
Lake county it not the only place
where our soil is being wasted or de-
stroyed by erosion.
In eastern Montana, the Dakotas,
and the western part of the United
States, soil erosion is carried on the
year around because of our large
acreage of overworked wheat land
and overgraZed pasture.
This problem is not only in west
ern Montana or in the western
United States, it is occurring all
owe the world, but mostly in the
younger countries where the people
have not been alert
We need to treat around 45,O00,-
900 to So 900 acres per year if we
are going to Outright the forces of
nature.
Even considering the world as a
whole, rough estimates by agricul-
ture experts show there are about
1000, DOC, 900 acres of arabic land
upon which the world must depend
for food. Think of it-this is scarcely
two acres for each of the worlds g.
000, 1000, 900 people.
In some countries there is less than
n acre per person, despite the esti-
mate of certain nutritionists that 212
acres of fairly productive land are
needed to produce an adequate diet
for person.
Yet, seven years ago our chief
oncern was with surplus. Now our
chief worry is scarcity in many parts
of the world.
Every one of us should be aware
of the need to practice conservation

Abe Board Studies Charges
Tavern Sold Beer 10 Minors

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today has under consideration
charges that Michael Psarakis, pro-
prietor of the Newton Grill, 3416
Fourteenth street NV, sold beer to
four youths and girls under 1S.
Complaint was made to the board
by the father of one of the youths,
who said he had peered through a
window and had seen waitress
serving beer to his son, another
youth and two girls. He said he
went into the establishment after
the young people left and both the
waitress and the proprietor denied
selling them beer, contending they
drank only soft drinks.
The two girls and two youths ad-
rnitted on the witness stand, at
hearing yesterday, that they had
ordered and been served beer. The
waitress told the board she had
served the two youths a glass of beer
each but that the girls had drunk
soft drinks.
Attorney Peter Chaconas, repre-
senting Mr.. Psarakis, told the board
his client Is selling his place OF
business and asked them not to hold
up the transaction by suspending
the license of the defendant.

Marauding Wild Elephants
Cause Big Damage in India

NEW DELHI.-To various minor
tribulations of Free India now are
added problems of marauding wild
elephants and the approaching ex-
tinction of the scaly anteater.
The anteater is a pet Of farmers
because it devours destructive white
ants and does no harm.
Both of these odd varieties of nat
ural history are occurring in agricul-
tural areas of the United Provinces,
according to newspaper reports
from there.
Wild elephants, the slaughter Of
which has been banned for several
years, have multiplied greatly.
They are doing so much damage
to crops and fences and even attack
ing villages that the United Prov
inces government has issued special
arms licenses for killing elephants
and is planning to hire expert

Uncle Sans entomologiSts admit
that insects can develop resistance
to the insecticides used against
them, as in the case Of the apple
codling moth against which lead ar
senate lost it's effectiveness. More
over, Uncle Sans bug men say they
have, in the laboratory, been able
to develop a DDT-resistant strain of
flies. It is not likely that a DDT-
resistant strain would develop nat
urally in the short time since DDT
was first used.
It is more reasonable to believe
that the occasional failure on farms
where DDT already has been used
with good results is due to careless
ness or inferior product.
One thing in particular that should
accompany the use Of DDT is the
destruction or removal of fly breed
ing places, such as manure piles,
weed piles, old stack bottoms and
wet spots in barnyards. One or
more such spots may be able to
turn out flies faster than DOT can
kill them, for DDT is not noted for
fast action. A fly may survive for
hours after alighting on surface
coated with DDT.
