What's Ahead
Continued from page y

on spring blowing or stubbled-in
seems high unless moisture reserves
are high.
The use of recommended varieties
in Montana is very gratifying in
many counties, but there is still room
for improvement. All varieties rec
commended are satisfactory both in
the field and for baking and milling.
To avoid selling mixed small grain,
further use could be made of reg
istered and approved seed supplies
The expanded use of Rescue wheat
in areas infested with sawfly and of
Compana barley on dry land for
feed and mailing purposes are two
examples of fitting varieties to their
best use. The standard list carries
enough varieties to fit the need of
every section of the state.
Back to Grass
Many acres that have been in
crops for the last decade should go
back to grass. The increase in crop
acres in this state in the last few
years has come from sod breaking
and the tilling of marginal land that
had been seeded to crested wheat
grass. When less favorable years
come, these areas that contain the
least humus as well as the least de-
sirable soil for cultivation will prob
ably be the ones that will cause the
most damage. Rather than allow
them to reach the stage of aband-
oned land, it would be well to seed
them down to crested wheatgrass
and make them productive. A sys-
tenn of taking acres out of tillage by
seeding grass as more sod acres are
plowed up is sound.
It is surprising how little addi-
tiona1 moisture is required to pro-
duce more grass and legume feed
or seed. There are thousands of
acres of bottom land that with very
little time and expense could be
transferred into feed and seed pro-
duction areas. A diversion or check
dam is small waterways, a ditch here
and a dixie there would make the diff
ference.
Sound Management
The acres under irrigation in Mon
tana are not producing maximum
yields. Now would be an excellent
time to get at the real cause and, if
it isn't already too late, try to make
the necessary corrections. Drainage,
the proper use of water and fertiliza-
ton are all SO closely tied together
that the whole problem rather than
one segment must be tackled at
once. Coupled with this problem is
the establishment of a definite ro-
tation system.
These are just a few of the adjust
ments that could take place now for
the sake of being set if less favor
able years do hit the Treasure state.
just because we hope we won't have
a tough winter, we don't put off
banking the house, putting on storm
windows or buying that heavy lum-
berman's jacket. No, we're going to
be set if it does come, and if il
doesn't-we're happy about it.
So it should be with production
operations in Montana. Getting pre-
pared while we can for something
which may come when we can't dc
much about it will act as a cushion
and reduce the bruises.
