One of the great dangers ahead
is that the process of adjusting
TO these changed patterns will lead
us into depression through failure
of consumption to rise sufficiently
But to be forewarned is to be partly
though not wholly, forearmed.
Major reliance should be placed
upon, and full encouragement given
to, those free automatic forces with
in the economy which bring about
adjustments. We must get from pri-
vately organized activities as much

sstart from here We can all SYM
pathize with that sentiment"
Throughout his public speeches as
Undersecretary runs Mr.. Acheson's
conviction that there is no easy way
out for Americans in trying to esta5-
lish a just peace in cooperation
with other nations. In 1876
speech, he put it this way:
Views on United Nations
TT is a long and tough job and
one for which we as a people are
not particularly suited. We believe
that any problem can be solved with
a little ingenuity and without in
convenience to the folks at large.
We have trouble-sho to do this
And our name for problems is sig
nificant. We call them headaches.
You take q powder and they are
gone. These pains about which we
have been talking are not like that
They are like the pain of earning a
living. They will stay with us until
death.
I'VE have got to understand that
all our lives the danger. the uncer-
tainty, the need for alertness, for
effort, for discipline will be upon u.s.
This is new to us. 1t will be hard
for us. But we are in for it and the
only real question is whether we
shall know it soon enough"
He remarked in that same speech
that he was often told "the way to
solve this or that problem is to
leave it to the United Nations" But
he emphasized that U. N. members
still are separate nations, and mo
more can be expected of this forum
for political judgment than the sum
total of the contributions" He add
ed that lin the Arab proverb, the
ass that went to Mecca remained an
ass. and a policy has little added to
it by its place of utterance."
His Definition of Judgment
President Truman's praise of Mr..
Acheson's "clear-cut judgment"
makes of interest the new Secre-
tary's own definition of the type of
Judgment needed in his job. "Judg-
ment,' he once said, lis formed upon
the evidence, all the evidence, and
this means the critical appraisal Of
the testimony of many witnesses
and many documents. Moreover, it
is a continuing judgment, and a
judgment which, like compass. has
to be corrected against the magnetic
effect of our own will to fashion the
result"
Mr.. Acheson has the ability to
shift his judgment of a situation
with changing facts, as demon
strated in his attitude toward Rus
STA. During World War II, he was
a leading exponent in the State
Department of President Roosevelt's
policy of giving all-out aid to Russia
and counting on Soviet co-opera-
ton in rebuilding the postwar world.
But he was one of the first to see
Russia's peace-blocking moves after

the occasion demands. But he ab-
hors the 'pernicious distractions

He is accept at putting his own
ideas across with a pointed story or

the need for "passable restraint and
judgment" in conducting American
affairs. and added The type of

to say. which leads a man not to

Emphasizing necessity for action
rather than mere words on another

tention by starting speech with
these words: Justice Holmes used
to say that the essential fact about
the pollywog was the wiggle. He
would then go on to el-cijote tie
parable-Man, he said, is born to

Hardened to Criticism
On the lighter side, he once
lodged an embarrassingly hot ques-
ton in news conference by telling
story about an oyster roast on the
Maryland Eastern Shore: "One old
fellow picked up an oyster and put
it in his mouth 1t was very hot
He spit it out and said, "A damn fool
would have swallowed that"
He jolted another State Depart

illustrate his attitude toward criti-

farmers dog who used to go to

farmer was busy, small boys would
catch the dog and tie tin cans to
his tail The dog got so used to
this that whenever he saw tin can
he backed right up to it."
On another occasion, Mr.. Acheson
remarked that the world presented
more to worry about than a good
worrier can handle"
A story he told to emphasize the
difficulty in trying to point the way
to a simple solution of international
problems involved the motorist in
the Tennessee hills who stopped to

times-and confidently enough-on

only to abandon each effort. Finally

THE MATTER of selecting herd
sire is one which will afford the pro-
gressive rancher topic of conversa-
ton for many hours. Characteristics
of the animal and details of the pedi-
gree are considered and weighed.
Consultation of experts and neigh
bors is welcomed.
The final selection is one of i'm
portance to the operator and right
fully so. The farmer selects new
machine or the variety of crop on
quality of seed with the same degree
of care and accuracy. These deci-
sions are factors that affect future
income.
The same care and methodical
consideration should be given to
selecting a system of irrigation for
each field and tract of land. Too
often we accept the system which is
presently in use and assume that it
is best because it is in operation
and working.
We changed to the tractor even
though the horse once was thought
to be doing fine job. Likewise, we
adopted the combine to replace the
thresher. We resist change. At the
same time we recognize changes as
one of the elements of progress.
Alternatives Available
When it comes to applying water
to a field, there are usually alterna-
tive methods which can be used. On
some fields, one method is better
than all others. On other fields, two
or more methods may work equally
we'll Tracts of land often are limited
to a certain method of irrigation in

Which Method Of Irrigation?
Select the System That Suits Your Land

their original state, but lend them
selves to a better system when
leveled.
In spreading water on land,
bitches and dikes are the principal
type of structures used. bitches are
the common means of directing the
water to the field. bitches may also
be used to spread water. These are
called lateral bitches, which may run
straight down the slope or straight
across the slope with slight grade.
They may also be run at an angle to
the slope or at random on ridges or
high points on the field.
When lateral bitches are run
across the slope with grade of
2 to a of a foot per 100 feet, we
call it the contour ditch method.
This method is adapted to slopes in
excess of " percent. 1t can be used
on gentle to steep and rolling slopes.
1t works we'll on such crops as hay,
grain, peas and pasture. The use of
the farm leve1er before seeding will
improve its efficiency.
Spacing Ditches
bitches should be from so to $50
feet apart, depending on the slope
and the type of soil. For sandy soils
IL Il IL
spacing is recommended. Gentle
slopes and heavier soils will permit
wider spacings. 1t is low cost
method to install and usually saves
water and labor when compared
with methods that run the bitches
down the ridges or high points, or
at an angle to the slope.
When the bitches are run straight
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-15

serve as a guide to the water, which
is run between the bitches. Very
few dams are needed. The land
should have slope of less than V
percent. It should have a uniform
slope and be well leveled.
This system requires that the
bitches be closer together than for
contours. Spacings will vary from
80 feet to so feet, depending on the
grade. For the flatter slopes and
most level fields, the 50-foot spacing
is used. For the slopes that are from
l to 1h percent in grade, the 30
foot spacing is used.
This system is also inexpensive TO
install and maintain, but requires
many bitches. An irrigator can ham
die more water by this method than
by using contour bitches. There is a
question, however, in regard to prac-
teal application Of border bitches,
since border dikes will do the same
job and the bitches can be elinai-
mated.
Border Dixie System
The border dixie system is one of
the most efficient methods of spread
ing water by means of surface irri-
CATION. An irrigator can handle as
much as 8 second feet 1920 miners
inches) of water, and irrigate up to
about 16 acres per day. This method
is very much like the border ditch
system except that dikes are used in
place of bitches. The dikes are con-
structed straight down the slope by
means of V-type ridger, plow, disc
or scraper.
The surface of the ground between
dikex must be level and the grade
down the slope quite uniform. The
dixie is built so that when it is round
ed off and settled it will have a
height of about 10 10 inches. The
base width is usually feet or more.
bikes are built from 20 to so feet
apart. On slopes up 10 1h percent,
the closer spacings are required. On
the hatter slopes and more level
lands the wide spacing are used
Farm implements may be operated
over these dikes and very little loss
of crop occurs.
The border is fed by head ditch
with turnout gate for each Dor
der. Once the system is properly in
stalled, all the irrigator has to do i
turn the water in and wait fo
proper penetration.
This method is fast and efficient
It is also limited in use to slope
under X percent and lands that ar
well leveled and properly prepared
Once installed it will save muc
labor and water.

Consider Land Slope

-~~~~~
In selecting the system of irriga-
ton it is advisable to first determine
the general slope of the land. If the
surface is irregular. possibly level
ing will be justified. 1t is always
advisable to use the farm leveler as
part of seed bed preparation.
For slopes under IL percent the
border system should be given first
consideration. For slopes over liz
percent the contour ditch system
should rate priority. County agents
and soil conservation service per-
sonnel are usually glad to help the
farmer plan his irrigation method
and system.
If the irrigator receives $40 per
day and get five acres irrigated, the
labor cost is 81 per acre for one irri-
cation. If the same man covers Is
acres per day by using a more eff
cient method, the labor cost is only
81 cents per acre. In other words,
one man would be doing the work
that would require three men by
using the inefficient system.
Sprinkler Irrigation
So much for surface irrigation. It
has its good points and bad features,
but has served as well for many
years. In Montana the overhead
method, or sprinkler, has been re-
ceiving some attention in recent
years. This method has some things
to recommend it. First of all, it more
nearly initiates natures method of
application than any other system.
Secondly, it eliminates bitches and
field structures that interfere with
tillage and weed control
It saves water, requires less ex-
perienced labor, controls erosion and
eliminates the need for land level
ing. With all these features to rec
ommend it, one would naturally
think it is time to plow in the bitches
and change to the sprinkler method.
The catch comes when we find that
it usually costs from $40 to $100 per
acre to install such a system.
If the present method of irriga-
ton is efficient and working well.
it is doubtful if this outlay of ex-
pense can be justified On the other
hand, if new land can be brought
under irrigation, or If high income
crops are grown, it may pay out
well. Again, if the surface method il
/. not giving satisfactory results it may
pay to consider an overhead system
). The total cost per acre for each ir'
rigation, including labor, fuel, re
1 pairs and overhead, will propabl,
average about 81 per acre. Costs viii
probably be divided about $3.50 be
: tween overhead and operating.
n Dealers usually design the system
y for the land to be irrigated. It
important to have the system prop
d erly designed for the acreage to b
e irrigated. There is probably a ten
ID dency to over-estimate coverage {
d the systems.

~ recommendations can be made r,

The term s1ength Of rum refers
to the distance water travels from
one ditch to the next, or the length
of rows or borders. The run should
generally not exceed 900. In the
case of contour bitches the run
varies from SO to $50 feet. With fur
rows or borders the run is usually
from 800 to 600 feet.
Sandy soils should be provided
with shorter runs and the clay soils
will permit longer runs. Likewise, in
general, the sleeper slopes should
have shorter runs than flatter
slopes.
