Feed From Flash Floods
system Waters 800 Acres OF Hay Land :.
B, JERRY LESTER
By JERRY LESTER

nicians of the Prairie county Coop
erative state grazing district. The
havland problem could be solved by
Getting water on 800 acres of land
living lust above the Yellowstone
river Some years ago a pumping
installation had been tried, but a
gravity canal was considered better
in the long run.
The engineers answer to the PROB
lem came in the design OF a az
mile canal to take flood water from
Custer creek and spread it out over
the fields. Two rather spectacular
features for such a private PROJECT
include a 30-foot deep cut through
a hillside and a railroad underpass
for the canal.
Flood waters from the normally
drv creek are diverted by a low
stone and willow dam. Two 24-inch
~cnlverts in the creek bank take the
water into the canal. Sos engineers
designed the canal, and a private
contractor was hired to do the work.
Total cost of the 41a-mile canal, n
Guiding the 30-foot deep hillside cut.
railway underpass and other struc-
lures was $4,000.
Sound Investment
While this cost figure may seem
high, the hay production in just one
dry year might well pay for the cost
of the project where such a large
scale livestock operation is involved
The 800 acres flood irrigated are IN
native hay, except for about lVt
acres of alfalfa. Eventually mos
of this land will be in alfalfa. Th'
system was finished about two year
r ago with the exception of additional
S leveling and diking that may con
: tinue for several years.

Hay, Water Problems

A lack of hayland and stockwater
reservoirs were the two problems
Mrs. Haughian brought to Sos tech
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

LAST WINTER proved to a good
many Montana and Wyoming
ranchers that their feed base was
insufficient for their needs, One
method of increasing feed that is
often possible is water spreading
from flood irrigation systems.
This. story tells of a flood irriga-
ton system established two years
ago that is already paying off IN
adequate feed supplies for the sheep
and cattle operation at Mrs. Susan
Haughian's ranch in Prairie county,
Montana.
Ironically enough, the same flood
waters that are being caught by this
flood irrigation system were re-
sponsible for one of the nations
most tragic railroad accidents about
IL years ago. Many of you will re-
member the story of Custer creek
and the flash flood that caused the
death of over 40 passengers when
a crack transcontinental tram
plunged through the weakened
bridge.
It's the same dry creek with the
same flash flood problem. But now
a good part of the water is being
diverted and spread over some 300
acres of hay and pasture land. Part
of the ranch lies in Prairie county
and part in Custer county. The
land total is close to $4,000 acres
including leased land and grazing
district land. About 1900 sheep am
$500 head of cattle have been KEEP
on the ranch.

There will also be much New
Year visiting back and forth, all
in the traditional seasonal. man
ner.
The whole holiday period has
been an extremely active one.
Many people had members of
their family visiting them for the
holidays, and large number of
winter residents arrived during
this time, to resume their social
activities here.
Some of the highlights of the
Christmas celebrations were the
dances that were given for coll
legc students home for the holi-
days. These were all charming
affairs.
Every organization had its
special Christmas parties for chill
dren and adults, and many
groups were active in projects to
supply entertainment and gifts
for inmates of the County Home
and all needy persons. Hospital
patients also were visited and en-
tertained. 49,.
1t has indeed been a busy holi-
day season.

New Years Eve was celebrated
last night at any number of pub
lie dances and parties, and there
was also a great deal of home
party giving.
Practically every organization
in town sponsored dance last
night, or will have one tonight.
Most of the larger places pre-
scented professional entertainers
for the enjoyment of the guests,
dance teams, singers, and special
orchestras, and from what your
reporter can learn today, dancing
and merrymaking went on until
very early this morning.
Home parties, though they
broke up a little earlier than the
public affairs, were nevertheless
gay. Gallons of eggnog, syllabub
and other refreshments were con-
sumed, and the number of New
Year greetings exchanged runs
into staggering figure.
The main thing is that society
managed to enjoy itself, despite
the cool breezes.
Today and tonight there will

five elaborate hospital systems to
give the same service to different
groups of ailing people. Perhaps
the height of absurdity is reach
ed in the Nays new $l4,80O,000
cancer hospital now under con-
struction. Surely cancer is not
peculiarly a naval disease. Since
cancer patient requiring deep
radiation therapy can rarely be
of further military value, as the
task force points out, the Navy
seems to be inexcusably invading
the general field of hospital
treatment.
These facts cry out for unifica-
ton of medical facilities operated
by the government. The services
and the Veterans Administrator
may fight against any interfer-
ence with their costly and waste
full separate hospital systems, but
in the opinion of the task force
the national interest points
directly toward one national
health agency. AS matter of
fact, the top medical officers of
the Army and the Navy both said
this morning that they did not
favor the merging of their medi-
cal operations with those of gov
eminent agencies. However, 1t is
a rare person who, in either
military or civilian life, would be
in favar of a proposal which
would cut down their own power
or scope of authority. We fully
agree with the opinion of the
task force. 1t will be difficult, of
course, to- bring together hospital
systems created by different
agencies and operated according
to varying rules and traditions.
Yet that difficulty is minor com
pared to the waste of the present
system. i
The National Bureau of Health
suggested to the Hoover Commits
sion by the task force would be-
come a major division OF the
proposed department of health,
education and security. 1t would
include a medical care division
in charge of Federal hospitals. a
public health division which
would give much greater en-
phasis to preventive measures,
and research and training
division. National health prob
lens would thus come under the
centralized supervision of one
specialist with immediate access
to the Cabinet. The effect should
be to give a great stimulus to
Federal interest and activity in
the sphere of public health as
we'll as to minimize waste.
