Pure Stands of Grass
Give Most Feed

PURE STANDS of seeded grass
rather than mixtures of different
species are preferred for Wyoming
grazing lands, according to o. K.
Barnes, soil conservation worker at
the state experiment station.
Barns reported that there is a ten
dency for cattle and sheep to prac-
tice what is known as preferential
grazing" on mixed stands of grass.
The animals, he said, fail to make
optimum use of all the grass on the
range.
Crested wheat grass becomes
slightly coarse as the season adj
vances, and in mixtures with Rus
sian wild rye, for example, it is not
utilized by sheep. Where these two
grasses r grown in mixtures, the
grazing season is much shorter than
it is when the two species are seeded
in separate stands and grazed only
when each grass reaches it's prime
period.
Blue grama-buffalo grass mix
lures likewise show a tendency to-
ward uneven utilization, although
producing a large volume of forage.
Sheep, he indicated, will not touch
the buffalo grass until the blue
grama has been eaten to the CROWN,
and the buffalo grass gradually
crowds out the blue grama when
the two r seeded together.

walton with proper conservation
measures which have been planned.
But the gulch cuts through shale
and there is no satisfactory site for
a dam. Neither is there a place for
a spillway, which would be neces-
sary on account of the large drain
age tributary to the gulch. And
ven if the dam would be feasible,
the cost would be too high.
In the siphon system that was
substituted for the dam-pump plan,
water is diverted from the canal by
mean of a turnout gate a short dis
lance up from the gulch. From there
it is taken down slope, in a ditch
that is kept at the proper grade by
the use of a series of two-foot drops,
to the siphon which empties into
the irrigation system on the other
side. Drops used are of a type new
to the area-sections of pipe installed
upright, instead of the usual box
like type made of wood or concrete.
Automatic" Irrigation
'The siphon cost only a fraction
of the estimated cost of a dam and
pump" McFarlin said. "But what
pleases me about as much as any,
thing is the fact that when the irri-
cation system is finished it will be
as nearly automatic as irrigation can
be. No pumping, and we will be
able to set up for night irrigation

without having to stay around and
watch things"
Wheat was planted the first year
largely to help clean the land. This
will be followed by building bikes
for irrigating the more nearly level
land, which is to be seeded to alfalfa.
The more sloping land will be irri-
gated with contour bitches and seed
ed to grass for irrigated pasture.
"We expect to be able to irrigate
at least 200 acres with the waste
water from the other side of the
gulch-maybe more" McFarlin ex-
planned. with alfalfa for hay and
irrigated grass for pasture, this place
will be ideal for %wintering livestock.
And it'll also give me a good pasture
for spring, before the native range
is ready for use.
This last is important" he con-
cluded. We've got to keep our
range in good shape, and n of the
necessary steps is to give the range
grasses a chance to grow. This irri-
cation layout will actually affect
several thousand acres of range"

Sure There Was a Way

Seeing that waste water gets
away started to bother me as soon
as 1 bought the land under the
ditch" he said. "Id look at the
water getting away, and then at the
land across the gulch and think
what I could do if 1 had it and could
get water to it.
49," he continued, 81 bought that
land-it wasn't worth much without
water. 1 had been told that there
had one been some talk of trying to
go around the head of the gulch but
that it would be too expensive. I
was sure there was a way to use
that water, though.
Il first thought of building a dam
in the gulch and pumping water out
of the pond and onto the land on
the other side. So I went to the soil
conservation district for advice. The
soil conservation service men looked
the proposition over and suggested
the siphon instead"
The first thing the soil conserva-
ton service men did was to examine
the land to see if it is suitable to
irrigate. They found that about 200
acres could be irrigated satisfac-
torily. Only a little is class 4, or
land that should be kept in grass

Siphon System Salvages Waste Water
to lrrigate 12O Acres
By H. W. rick, Conservationist, u. S. Soil Conservation Service

BY III. w. RIEJ
BECAUSE he wouldn't believe that
~ a 60-foot-deep gully was the end
of the line or that waste irrigation
water dumped into the gulch need
ed to be wasted, H. F. McFarlin of
Yellowstone county has 100 acres of
ley land under irrigation on his
benchland farm about 8 miles
northeast of Shepherd.
This was just poor grade dryland
pasture a year ago, because no one
had thought of a way to get water
to it cheaply enough to be practical.
1t had been dry-farmed once and
Northumberland rainfall was too
low.
But in 1947 it produced a good
irrigated wheat crop, and it and
other land that can be irrigated are
counted on to tie McFarlin's winter
livestock feed supply up into one
neat little bundle.
Further, what McFar1in has done
should give the people of Montana
some idea of the possibilities in n
tapped irrigation resources that are
available now.
Night Operation
This new irrigation isn't some
thing handed to McFarlin on a sill
yer platter. 1t had to be planned
for night operation. Most of the
water in the canal is used during
daytime, and only at night is there
a dependable supply of waste water
with which to irrigate this new land.
And the means of getting the water
across to the new land had to be
something that would stand up in
spring, when snow melts in the hills
and the gulch becomes a turbulent
stream.
The present setup is a siphon ar
rangement, designed by soil con-
