station, met us and looked over the
grain samples. There was no doubt,
he said, that the wheat was in the
boot stage. 1t was in an early boot
stage, however, he added, and ac-
cording to his theory and limited
experiments at the station, could be
sprayed with little danger or dam
age to the head. Some "onion leaf
or curled leaves might cause crink1ed
heads. This damage would be offset
by the control of the weeds, how
ever.
Wheat treated with 2,4-D shows
two types of injury, according to
Krall. One is a malformity of the
head caused by spraying before the
head is formed, as in the first two
plants in the stage-of-growth photo
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01

series above. The second is the
twisting of leaves just mentioned,
which usually occurs from spraying
in the boot stage. This twisting of
the leaves causes the head to be
crooked or bent. Damage can also
result, of course, from spraying
wheat that is poisoning. However,
this last is a well known fact, and
no should treat when the wheat
is in the blossom stage.
In any case, Krall has left the
decision up to the individual farmer
when questioned about the problem.
If the farmer thinks the weeds are
bad enough to warrant a slight dam
age to the grain, he should go ahead
and treat the fields.
Application Rates Important
1t is important that recommended
tons on rates be followed, Krall
pointed out. The recommendation
for the experiment station area is
$40 of pound of parent acid per
acre. This rate will cause only about
5 percent of both deformed heads
and onion leaf damage, even when
applied at the wheat plants critical
stage.
Eradication of the weeds, on the
other hand, has given a "a percent
increase in yield the last two years,
SO any damage is offset by the weed
kill.
The second danger period comes
in the late boot and early heading
stages which would follow the size
of plant as in sc" in the stage-of-
growth photo series. The danger
here, says Krall, when onion
leaf develops. Chemical action
cause the upper leaf to twist itself
around the head, keeping it from
emerging from the sheaf normally.
The outcome is usually a crooked or
bent head.
In the instances of onion leaf OBJ
served by Krall, he has rarely seen
cases of over 5 percent damage. This
would cause about a 1h-bushel loss
he says, in yield per acre. Wher
grain with a normal weed popula-
ton is treated, a 6 to 8-bushel in
crease is ordinary. The damage from
weeds, then, offsets the damage t.
the grain from 2,4-D by Az bushels
so why worry?

makes me hungry just to look at
all the stuff that's in each book:
Tomatoes plump and scarlet red
and cabbage bigger than my head;
I'd swear those carrots stretch a
foot, I'm sure you wouldn't have
to put no butter on beets' purple

I figure that Mirandy needs
about an acres worth of seeds;
that should be just about enough
to grow the quantity of stuff that
we car eat or put in cans, and
also l must make some plans to
hire the plowin' done and show
her how to sharpen up the hoe. I
s'pose I'd better draw a chart so
she will know how far apart to
plant the squash and turnip
greens and how to stake up all
the beans; and then, to make sure
there's no waste and guarantee
the proper taste, I'll buy her an
instruction book on better ways

the grasshoppers. Therefore, it is
advisable to treat this type of crop
in the prebloom stage if possible.
If that is not possible, use toxa-
phene rather than chlordane because
it is not nearly as hard on the bees
as chlordane. Apply the insecticide
at the time of day when there r
no bees in the field, preferably the
early morning.
1t would also be advisable to
notify the local beekeeper Il hours
before spraying or busting the fields
in bloom. He will then have time to
take steps to protect his bees from
the insecticide.
Bait. Spray or Dust7
Present indications are that bats
will work satisfactorily where the
vegetation is not too thick or on dry,
thin stands of range grass, grain
stubble or other dry vegetation. In
thicker, heavier, more valuable
crops, however, sprays and dusts
have been doing a satisfactory job
of controlling the 'hoppers.
According to present information,
bats work better than sprays and
dusts where grasshoppers are de-
stroying newly planted fall wheat.
Until we have more information on
the use of the new, more expensive
sprays and dusts in these situations,
it would be advisable to continue
with the use of bats to control the
grasshoppers that are moving in on
your new fall wheat.
In counties that have mixing sta
tons, bait will be available as in
past years.

camped near Miles City Henry shot
and killed the colored roundup cook,
so Billy was taking a look at the
place where Henry had wintered on
First Point.
We Hit for Town
We decided if them fellows can
get around so a we. We'd had
more than enough of that woodchop-
per's old shack. That night we
stayed at First Point, where Tom
McAllister had his winter quarters,
and kept some of his thoroughbred
stations. Tom told us that Comp
ton had been held up there two days
by the ice breakup, and that on the
third day of the blizzard he had
driven his four horses and wagon
load of grain and groceries across
the new ice to the mouth of the Big
Dry, where he had his sheep camp.
AS soon as we got to Glasgow we
went to Bill Enright's to get the
news. There wasn't much news, just
bad weather, arguments between
the right and left points about which
was the worst winter-'87 or SO.
The Oriental Limited had been
stuck in the snow for three days at
Poplar. 1t was a big train loaded
with 1andseekers going west. Bill
told us they ate everything in town
before they got away except the
harness in the livery stable, and
that there had been several emf
grant cars pulled into a siding just
this side of Williston. They unload
ed everything, and the cars were
pulled out. They had livestock and
what a homesteader needs and tents
to live in until they could build sod
shacks.
Bill told us that after the biz
zard every hoof of livestock was
dead and seven of the women and
kids. What was left went back to
Minnesota. I've often wondered il
Bill was stretching it when he tolc

Winter of 18o8-00 Was
A Bit Rugged, Too
By H. GRICE. Yellowstone County

THE FIRST HARD winter I re-
member in Montana was 1898-1899.
My partner and I had been at Ia
coma, Wash, helping load horses on
the big Atlantic liners for the Phil
ippines the summer of '98.
When we got back to Glasgow,
Mont, in the late fall, we were bad
ly bent and no job, so we decided
to spend what few dollars we had
on flour, salt and ammunition and
shack up on the Missouri river.
There were lots of deer, so we knew
we would eat, but when we looked
at our clothes and flat bed on the
pack horse we hoped for a nice
warm winter.
We picked a woodchopper's old
shack up on Sixth Point about so
miles above Fort Peck to hole up in.
It was about a dozen steps from the
river bank, so it didn't take us long
W Qdub up Tile CllliiLlSy dIu CldChS.
After that we killed seven or
eight deer and hung them On a pole
from the north side of the shack.
All we had. to do now was to wait
until spring. Winter hadn't started
yet, but it wasn't long. In the mean
time we killed a few coyotes and big
greys.
We planned to go to Glasgow and
celebrate Christmas. If we could
make the 20 miles, we could get
$3.50 bounty on coyotes and SIS on
the greys. Then we could get new
overshoes and pants and flour and
beans.
Snow Came in Shifts
We were building air castles when
it started, just straight down the
first day. The second day it had q
good northeast slant. In a few days
we were crossing the river, but

one both in crops and experience
through the cooperative efforts of
all operators.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-01
Aerial Spraying

Since all farmers in the area were
members of the irrigation company,
it was voted that the company hire
the local flying service to spray by
plane all bitches and laterals OPP
Grated by the irrigation company.
This cost was $2.85 an acre.
Five tractor mounted spraying
machines were purchased by the
farmers who grouped together in
five different groups. The local farm
supply coop Immediately laid in a
sufficient supply of insecticides and
so all was in readiness for the out
break which had been forecast and
which did come about 10 days later.
80 Percent Kills
When it appeared that the first
Matching of hoppers were out,
bitches, l~aterals, fence rows, field
margins, roadsides, railroad right
of-ways and waste land which
showed any count of hoppers were
Immediately sprayed. Many report
ed 80 percent kills. From this time
on the tractor sprayers were kept
busy, with each operator spraying
his own farm. This took care of the
second Matching.
Later in the season when the hop
pers began flying, many alfalfa and
grain fields were sprayed by plane.
Not only grasshoppers but also
grey beetles and web worms were
taken care of. These also would
have caused severe crop damage if
the farmers had not been prepared.
In closing I would like to say eft

would have been a cropless year

down in shifts, two days on and two
days off.
We weren't worrying about our
saddle ponies leaving us afoot now.
They were belly deep and eating
the tops off the willows along the
river bank. Every day we chopped
down a few cottonwood saplings for
their vitamins. And we chopped
wood for the fireplace, and when
we got tired of looking at the buck
skin window, we chopped
wood, and we swore we'd never
shack up again for any winter. We'd
been hating the sight of each other
for quite a while.
Then one morning just about good
light our buckskin window COM
menced Tapping, held by one corner,
and no snow in the fireplace, but
rain from the west. We took a look
and counted the notches on our stick
calendar. 1t figured out the 10Th of
February, 1899.
That's too soon for spring, SO we
decided to chew our f~ingernails
about two weeks longer. 1t stayed
almost hot for three days. The snow
disappeared from the ridges, and the
water ran creeks down the coulees;
the ice rose in the river and started
moving.
4-DaY Fake Spring
Then on the fourth afternoon of
the fake spring the old familiar
northeaster, only bigger and better.
The four days of rest had given it
renewed energy. The cottonwoods
kept UP a continuous barrage, the
river put on its white coat and went
to sleep again, whilst we took turns
sleeping and keeping the fire going
That three days was cold with
capital c. 1t made us think well be-
fore quitting our shack, so we hung
on until we felt sure.
Then a rider rode in one evening
Joe LaForage. He was the first il
over four months. The DIS hat
dropped 1000 Texas billies along
the brakes the fall before, trailed il
from Dickinson, and Joe wanted t,
see what kind of meat we were
eating.
A couple of days later Billy Smith
and one of his deputies came ou
way headed for Glasgow, lookin,
for Long Henry Thompson, in Mon
tana; in Texas, Big Foot Wallace
Henry came up with that last her,

THE CROP SEASON of 1913
saw, I believe, of the heaviest
outbreaks of insects ever known on
an irrigated valley. This heavy in
~festation of insects was overcome,
however, through the cooperative
efforts of 76 farmers, railway Off
Gals, the local flying service, Jul
ty agent, bureau of entomology and
the soil conservation district.
Early in the season, Mr.. Wolff of
the bureau of entomology and plant
quarantine and Mr.. Kegel, county
extension agent, informed all the
farmers in the area to expect a
heavy infestation of grasshoppers.
Education Campaign
The soil conservation district
held a contest at the school at which
120 children participated in writ
ing essays and speaking on "Grass-
hopper Control" Some 300 farm
people attended the program to hear
the speakers. The two boys who
achieved first and second placing in
this contest gave their talks over the
local radio station of Miles City.
A meeting of the farmers and all
interested parties was held at the
local school. At this meeting in
secticides and spraying equipment
were discussed. So far all the meet
ings and programs were for the pur-
pose of education on the control of
grasshoppers. Then came the plan
of attack.
