Norway seems to be in the
middle of the present inter-
national jostling, and that's
as comfortable as fish bones
in the gravy. The western
countries want Norway in the
North Atlantic Alliance, while
Russia has been offering the
Norwegians an opportunity to
play doubles with them on a
non-aggression pact. It's a
hot spot in a cold war. No
Scandinavian country has cas-
lily been intimidated, but Nor
way has 122 miles of COMMON
boundary with the Russ.
That's a mighty sharp talk
ing point. In these days it
seems that staying neutral is
tougher than putting tooth
paste back in the tube.

on dryland were made
m rows 7 TO 10 feet apart and seed
ed at the rate of "a pound of seed
per acre. The stands on these fields
have been sufficient and the yields
have been satisfactory.
Grasshoppers have in many years
caused the seed crop to fail but, with
the introduction of insecticides that
will do a good control job, this loss
can be eliminated.
This type of production requires
work and care, but it does offer an
opportunity to use these acres in a
profitable way. Besides, there is a
very urgent need for an expansion
IN the Ranger alfalfa seed acreage
of the state. The demand for seed is
far in excess of the supply. There
is every reason to believe that the
outlet for seed will be good for a
number of years.
Sagebrush Land Good
There are also many areas where
water can be diverted onto land
during periods of runoff that could
be utilized for seed and feed produc-
ton. Thousands of acres that are
now growing very little except sage
brush could be growing alfalfa for
hay and seed without a very high
land preparation cost. Sage brush
land pretty generally makes good
alfalfa land.
The production of Ranger alfalfa
seed is different from the production
of Grimm, Ladak and Cossack.
Three requirements must be OBJ
served-O Foundation, first genera
ton seed, must be planted. This seed
is allotted by the Montana Seed
Growers association through your
county extension agent. ~ Ranger
alfalfa must be isolated at least II
mile from any other alfalfa. g,
Ranger seed is not Ranger alfalfa
seed unless it is certified by the
Montana Seed Growers association
This includes field inspection tn,
year it is planted and every year
cleaned to grade and tagged ant
sealed by the association.
The production of alfalfa seed j
a particular type of production.
works well when combined wit
the livestock industry. Sufficier
acreage should be planted to pay
producer to take care of it. Whe
seeded in an area where an auxiliar
supply of water is available, any siz

All-Time Crop Records Expected
From Nations Farms This Year

year for some time when such crops
as wheat, corn, cotton, ETC., may be
planted without being subject to gov
ernment controls. The prospect of
heavy surpluses of these crops is
beginning to appear, and controls
likely will be the picture by the
time another year rolls around.
A third factor is the weather, for
except in a few southwestern areas
there is a plentiful supply of sub
soil moisture, a condition extremely
favorable to maximum crop output.
In addition, farmers are equipped
to expand production still further,
for much farm machinery has been
added on countless farms during the
last year. Farm labor supplies also
are improving, and more and more
farmers are using fertilizer to in
crease their yields.
The agriculture department has
recommended total crop acreage Of
about 365, 100000 acres. This is ap.
proximately the same as the acreage
planted last year, but at present
there is every indication that a new
record will be established this sum
| mer.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1949-05-05

Bluffton area farmers may join
others of the nation in establishing
new total crop production records
this year, according to information
CLEANED in a survey by the U. S..
Department of Agriculture.
Despite ID per cent drop in the
general level of farm prices during
the past II months, most farmers
apparently are planning for in
creased acreage in farm crops, and
some agriculture department officials
expect that new records may be set.
Heavier planting schedules are
spurred principally by the fact that
this may be the last year during
which producer prices of major
crops will be supported by the gov
ernment at wartime levels.
New farm legislation scheduled to
go into effect for the 1850 crop
year authorizes lower support prices,
and most farmers expect TO cash in
on the last war-level payment by
seeding as many acres as possible
this year.
An additional factor entering into
| the forecast of a record crop output
is the fact that this may be the last
