To Inaugurate Speedier
Parcel-POSt Service

Speedier nationwide and worldwide
air parcel post service is being in
augurated September l, according to
information received here by w. E.
Spoerlein, postmaster of the Oakland
postoffice.
The occasion recalls to minds of
oldtimers the introduction of similar
surface operations 35 years ago when
parcel post first made its appearance
in the United States.
The service at that time was es-
tablished primarily to aid farmers and
hamlets located off the beaten paths.
Transportation facilities then were
slow and it took days to transport
parcel post packages across the coun-
try.
The annual poundage has scared
from a few million to billions of
pounds of assorted commodities.

Spring Development
Waters 400 Acres

A N EXTRA 400 acres of irrigated
land is what a spring develop
ment program meant to John Bloom
quist, B~eaverhead county.
A swampy area in his field indi-
Gated a possible spring, SO he started
digging down. The deeper he dug
the more water appeared, so he
tried a well and brought an ~artesian
flow at SO feet. Then a dragline was
brought in, and after digging about
10 feet in several directions, the
flow really appeared-150 inches of
water.
The well was dug about four years
ago for stock water. The work later
with the dragline proved to be even
more valuable. An estimated S 5000
was spent on the project but, as
Bloomquist says, it doesn't take long
to get that amount of money back
from 400 acres of good irrigated
cropland. The water flows heavily
from a layer of broken rock I'M
covered by the digging into a ditch
and from there to a night dam
where the water is held for use the
next day.
The land on the place is irrigated
in the winter when possible as well
as during the crop season. Describ-
ing it as the best thing that ever
happened on his place, Bloomquist
is well pleased with his exclusive
water right"

Home Hydro Electric
Plant Pays Way

A HYDROELECTRIC home power
plant built 10 years ago for $4,000
has paid for itself many times in
both home conveniences and power
for pumping irrigation at the Parker
brothers farm in Flathead county.
The dam and generator were re-
garded at first with skepticism by
neighbors, but the late Neil Parker
went ahead with his plans that re-
suited in a complete change in the
farm economy.
The dam itself is in a narrow but
deep ravine and was built by horse
fresnoes and hand labor for $4,000,
including the intake remember this
was 10 rs ago.. The reservoir is
filled by an underground spring. An
additional investment of $4,000
bought a second hand generator and
turbine capable of a Is kilowatt out
put.
Water drops % feet from the dam
intake down a 24-inch pipe into the
turbine. The 24-inch turbine drives
a direct current generator with
alternator attached. This gives a
220-volt a. C. output which is
dropped to lis volts for ordinary
house use. A special governor and
output control board give the best
power output control possible. The
generator house has a concrete
foundation and floor set on 30-foot
pilings. Insulated double walls keep
the temperature above so degrees in
the worst winter weather with no
heating units necessary. The plant
has had no major breakdown since
the installation.
The dam has another 24-inch pipe
for overflow, and the turbine can be
stopped to nearly cut off the flow
of water from the reservoir. Power
from the plant is used to supply
electricity for two houses, includ-
ing such conveniences as lights, cleo
tric stoves, heating units, and refrig,
orators. Two small electric motors
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-15

driving pumps for the sprinkler ir-
rigation system on the farm are also
powered by the plant. When both
pumps are used at once, power from
the REA line recently installed is
used for house electricity but other
wise all electricity used on the place
mt from the home built genera
tor. Irrigation water is pumped from
the reservoir created by the power
dam.
Results of the irrigation possibih-
ties from the dam-generator installa-
ton on the Parker brothers place
are well known to most people of
the state. A specialized seed crop
operation was made possible and
proven highly profitable. Crops have
included crested w~heatgrass seed,
clover, orchard grass, fescue, seed
peas and certified potato seed.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-15

trict was formed in 1943, and COM
prises about $4,000 acres. 1t lies in
the Little Bitter Root valley and
takes in the Camas division of the
F1athead Indian irrigation project.
Due to war conditions, nothing much
had been done until the past season
except to sell chemical to farmers
who requested it.
We think we have made a very
good start on the weed control pro-
gram and expect to continue to fight.
We are lucky in the fact that we are
comparatively free of noxious weeds,
considering some other surrounding
territories. We raise quite a large
amount of clover and alfalfa seed in
the valley, so we want to keep our
lands as free of weeds as is possible.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-15
Farm and Ranch Experiences
We've Been Fighting Perennial
Weeds for IS Years


WHEN WE FIRST came here in
1910, when the valley was opened
for settlement, noxious weeds were
unheard of for many years.
Eventually spots of white top and
Russian knapweed showed up in
alfalfa fields, morning glory patches
in old garden spots and Canadian
thistle along government bitches
where horses had been used and fed
with hay and grain shipped in from
outside the valley. Apparently the
seed and feed we got contained more
than the label told about and more
than we had bargained for.
For the past Is years we have been
fighting them in a small way. Most
of this work has been done on small
spots, using chemicals, although we
have done some cultivation work.
Sodium chlorate is what we have
used for spot treatment, except for
a few patches in experimenting with
2,4-D. I might add right here that
the latter weren't any too promising.
Practically all of the sodium chlor-
ate was applied in spray form mixed
2 pounds to a gallon of water. This
spray was put on with an ordinary
small garden pressure sprayer, about
the time that the weeds started to
come into bloom. This is a good time
to catch spots of white top in an
alfalfa field, for at any other time
they are very hard to locate.
Also, according to what I have
read, a weeds vitality is at about
the lowest point when it is in the
early blossom stage. Any regrowth
on these treated spots was sprayed
later on in the season, after growth
was sufficient to warrant it.
Amount of Chemical
l have worked on four of the five
noxious weeds listed in the state
weed laws, leafy spurge being the
one not found around here. Ac-
cording to my experience, it takes
about 8 to 10 pounds of sodium
chlorate per square rod to get a good
kill, possibly sometimes mor and
others a little less. A patch that is
several years old and has a well
established root system, seems to re-
quire more chemical to kill than {
patch that is just getting a gooo
start.
One fall in October, on a patch o.
Russian knapweed that measured
out 2 square rods, I applied II
pounds of sodium chlorate on on,
square rod and 6 pounds on thu
other. The next summer, on check
ing these, I found the 10 pounds pc
square rod resulted in a 100 percen
kill, while the 6 pounds per squar,
