Agencies at Your Service
to Develop Irrigation
By III. L. DUSENBERRY

THIS MONTH the Montana Rec
lamation association is meeting in
Bozeman to hold its annual con-
vention. Much interest will be dis
played in the reclamation programs
of various federal and state agencies.
Quite often the individual is puz-
zled by the completely of the sys-
tenn.
In order to clear up some of the
questions concerning how reclama-
ton can take place, some of the
facilities are here described.
Let us start with small projects.
Most small projects benefit only
one or a few land owners An indi-
vidual may put his land under irri-
cation at his own expense entirely
Or with a small amount of assist
ance from federal or state agencies.
If the Individual can finance his
own project but needs technical
help, he may call on the soil conser-
walton service or extension service
to assist him.
Extension. SCS Assistance
For many years the extension
service has been helping farmers
individually and in groups to re-
claim and develop their lands. In
Montana this has brought many
acres of new land under irrigation.
The assistance given by county
agents has consisted mostly of adj
vice on how to proceed and with
giving technical assistance in some
cases.
In recent years Soil Conservation
districts have been organized in most
Montana counties. These groups
have the right to call on the Soil
Conservation service for technical
assistance. This service consists of
help in engineering and farm plan
ming. Such features as reorganiza-
ton of the farm irrigation system,
land leveling, installing irrigation
structures and studying and correct

To-Day Weather Outlook
Montaaa-W yoming Forecast: NoU. Is to Dec. L
By OSCAR L.. MoLDENHAUER


COLD, WET and dsagreeable during the first week, followed by a
trend to mnder weather during the last eight days of November is the
outlook for Montana and northern Wyoming. The period as a whole
should see a wide variety of weather, as one of the months principal
snowstorms at the beginning will be contrasted by some warm, dry
weather later in the month. The precipitation is expected to be sf-
fcient to increase the moisture supply at first, but the drier weather
later may dissipate some of it.
From now on the temperature averages fall rapidly and most pre-
cipitation comes in the form of snow. The November normal of snow
fall for Montana is SO inches and for Wyoming it is rs inches. These
are state averages and are greatly influenced by the heavy mountain
snowfall
Weather Changes
The period is expected to begin with a snowstorm, promptly fol
lowed by a cold wave to overrun Montana Farner-StockInan territory
for several days of cold, wet, disagreeabe weather. The precipitation
at this time should be fairly well distributed. Rising temperatures are
due by Friday, the 18th, followed by another frontal disturbance and
cold wave to reach Montana owe the weekend and reach Wyoming
within a day or SC. Light snowfall is likely, especially along the con-
tnental divide, at this time.
About Tuesday, Nov. %, a wave of warmer weather is expected
to cross the continental divide from the west and generally dominate
the weather pattern in Montana and Wyoming for the remainder Of
November. A disturbance indicated to cross Montana about the 25th
or 26h may result in some snow in the storms path. Otherwise the
precipitation is expected to be light and the storm activity decline 70
the end of the month.
Precipitation: About normal average. Temperatures: Near normal
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-15

quite a bit of time would be saved
if it could be eliminated. We do
have reason to believe that it may
be unnecessary. We have set quite
a number of posts deeper than they
were peeled off, and they are lasting
o. K, though of course they may
not stand up as long as the others.
We treated several hundred posts
this spring without peeling them.
They seemed to take the bluestone
as well as if they had been peeled.
A strip of bark should be peeled
from the bottom to the top of at
least some of the posts, as this will
serve as an indicator. Along this
strip the bluestone can be seen as it
creeps toward the top of the post.
One post out of every 10 or 20 in
the vat should serve as a good in
Dictator of when treatment is COM
plete.
Treatment should be complete
when the bluestone can be seen to
have risen to the top, or nearly to
the top of the posts.
Peel JUST Before Treating
We think it is a good idea to peel
the butts of the posts, and peel the
indicators, just before they are put
in the solution. If they are peeled,
and then allowed to stand or lie for
any length of time, they will dry out
considerably on the surface which
has been peeled. This hampers the
treating process.
In treatment the bluestone. solu-
ton permeates the entire post, ex-
cept the center core, coloring it blue,
which is the same color as the solu-
ton.
1t is hard to say how deep the
solution should be. We have gener-
ally used a solution Is to "a inches
in depth. A solution this deep is
probably a good idea. However, it
may be that it might be possible to
use a shallower solution successfully.
We have seen one of our neighbors
treat, with apparent success, posts in
a solution which didn't appear to be
IL inches deep.
1t doesn't seem necessary that they
be immersed in the solution to the
depth that they will be set in the
ground, because the solution travels
up the post. We have set quite a
number deeper than the solution
they were treated in, and so far they
are satisfactory.
Ends Fresh-Cut
The ends of the posts which are
put in the solution should be freshly
sawed off. This is because the end:
dry out rapidly, and when this
happens the posts will not take treat
ment as well or as fast. In warm o.
hot weather the ends will dry on
enough in a very few hours to ham
per treatment. With all the saving
that is necessary in treating posts,
power saw is a necessity, if a larg'
number of them are to be ~processed
Posts to be sharpened for driving
may either be sharpened before o
after treatment. We have Away
sharpened them afterwards, though
it might be better to sharpen then
before, when anyone would be sur
of them being green and easier t
cut.

and the development of farmstead

AOAAt pan btAl1l1l1 up ~
as much as 20 years, depending on
the ability to repay or the life of
the facility. The maximum loan that
can be made is 500, 900 to any one
group of farmers. This provides an
opportunity for individuals to de-
velop their own water resources no
matter how small they may be.
During the past fiscal year 1885
acres of land were brought under
irrigation and 1925 acres of land
received supplemental water by this
loan program.
State Water Conservation Board
Another important means of recla-
nation is through the State Water
Conservation board projects. This
board was set up by the state legis-
lature during the drouth years to
build small projects that would serve
a small group of land owners The
board will construct the project and
sell the water. The Water Conserva-
ton board does not take a lien on
the land, but contracts with a water
users association and the individual
farm operator to sell the water.
This organization is not set up to
compete with the Bureau of Recla-
nation but rather to supplement
their program by serving the needs
of smaller groups. The Water Con-
servation board will build the stor-
age if needed and the main distri-
button laterals. This may not even
bring the water to the land of all
users. This means that further
technical help and financing may be
needed.
On these projects there is a big
field for the Soil Conservation serv-
ice and FILA to assist in getting the
farms ready to receive water. By
the end of 1913 the Water Conserva-
ton board had completed Is major
small projects and $50 minor prof.
ects. These projects have a potential
benefit for 355,000 acres of land.
Bureau of Reclamation
The agency designated by the fed
eral government for large scale irri-
cation development is the Bureau
of Reclamation. This agency is now
in the process of expanding irriga-
ton in the Missouri basin as a part
of the Pick-Sloan plan, or the Flood
Control Act of 1914.
The portion of Montana west of
the divide is not included in this
act, nor does similar legislation exist
for the development of the Columbia
basin part of the state. Nevertheless,
the Bureau of Reclamation is active
and ready to serve western Montana.
The Bureau of Reclamation works
through irrigation districts organ
lied under the laws of Montana.
When a district is organized, the
bureau can execute an agreement
to construct the main facilities
needed to bring a block of land
under irrigation. The district agrees
to repay the cost of construction al
a specified rate and maintain the
system. All of the land included in
a district which is benefited by the
facilities is obligated by lien until
repayment is made in full.
In 1947 the Bureau of Rec1ama-
tom had nndo urntor arrai1nh1o te
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-15

ing seepage problems, have been
prominent in the Soil Conservation
district programs.
During the past fiscal year 2,841
acres have been brought under irri-
cation by pumping, 9,557 acres
drained, the water distribution sys-
tenn reorganized and improved on
46, 189 acres and 8,671 acres of land
leveled in Soil Conservation districts.
In other words, farmers in Soil Con-
servation districts or in county
agents counties have a certain
amount of technical assistance avail
able to them without cost.
PIMA Practice Payments
Another type of assistance may
be had through the Production and
Marketing administration by prac-
tice payments. This federal agency
makes payments for the construc-
ton of irrigation dams. These pay
ments must comply with program
limitations, but in most cases prove
of great assistance in building stor-
age for irrigation water by small
dams.
The PIMA will also make payments
for the revision of old irrigation
systems to accomplish conservation
of land and water. In these cases
the government is sharing with the
owner the cost of development or
construction. The Soil Conservation
service or Extension service may
render technical assistance on these
projects.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-15
FILA Loans

When finances are needed Tor
small projects either for one land
owner or a group of land owners,
the Farmers Home administration
can give assistance. Loans are avail
able for the purpose of installing
new irrigation systems and facilities
appurtenant thereto, repairing and
rehabilitating old irrigation systems

Law Concerning
Lead Paint Given

maryland now has a law (chap-
ter SIT of the Acts of 1949) which
requires all toys, playthings and chill
drcn's furniture decorated with any
thing that might be injurious to
children to be labelled poison" Mr.
J. Davis Donovan, Chief of the De
pattmcnt's Division of Legal Adj
ministration, reminds the parents of
young children. THE new law, which
became effective on June lst, covers
all such articles made, sold or Of
fercd for sale in the State and pro-
vides penalties up to $4,000 or I'M
prisonment for violations.
"The records of the State Depart
mcnt Of Health and the Baltimore
City Health Department do not dis
close any cases of poisoning result
ing from children eating materials
used in decorating new toys and
furniture However, in Baltimore City
since 1881 there have been 2l3 cases
and n deaths of children under ten
years of age from lead poisoning. 1t
may be assumed that for the same
period Of time the cases and deaths
from this cause in the counties
would about equal these figures.
more than half Of the known
cases have been children two years
old, and IS percent have been chill
T., C
Of the cases investigated almost
every one was the result of the
child's chewing painted surfaces or
eating paint from repainted interior
walls and woodwork.
parents should prevent children
from chewing any painted surface or
from eating any paint which was
faxed off. Exterior paints and
varnshes usually contain lead and
should, therefore, never be used on in
terror walls, woodwork, furniture OF
toys. On such surfaces only lead free
paints and those free from other
poisonous ingredients should be
used. If a child becomes Ill after
chewing on painted surfaces or eat
ing faxed Off paint it is imperative
. that the family physician be con-
suited Immediately.
| "Although the State Department of
Health is making every reasonable
effort to enforce this law, the con
slant vigilance of parents and others
responsible for the well being of
young children is necessary to make
| it truly effective. Increased aware
ness of this threat to Maryland's
boys and girls can prevent needless
suffering and loss of life"
