A report Of analysis of samples
of water sent to the state Board

Merchant was received Wednes-

The information should allay
fears that Browning's water sup

The information is gratifying
in particular in that it offsets re-

Ducks in the Corn Fields

Distribution of emergency feed supplies
by game department workers, cooperative
building of "deer proof" fences, use of chem
ical deer repellent compounds to protect
trees, and other methods nave proved more
or less successful in controlling deer and
elk. Protection of crops from game birds is
more difficult.
We have been receiving reports of dam
age done to cornfields last fall in some dis
tricts in the eastern part of Montana.
One farmer in a northeastern county tells
us that the ducks from the Medicine Lake
refuge moved into his corn field about the
same time he put his cattle in to feed. In
spite of all he could do to protect the field
the ducks got more than the cattle and he
had to buy feed to finish the stock for mar
ket. He got into some pretty hot arguments
with the game wardens over some of the
measures he took to scare the ducks away.
And he fears a repetition of his losses next
year. In fact, he may be compelled to aban-
don his profitable cattle-corn program. 9th

MARINERS and ranchers in some districts
Il of Montana and Wyoming have expert
enced difficulty in keeping deer and elk
from consuming valuable hay supplies. In
stances of damage to trees have also been
reported on numerous occasions. And some
farmers have suffered rather serious losses
from pheasants and other game birds.
Farmers and stockgrowers have not al
ways seen eye to eye with the game wardens
as to what steps can properly be taken to
protect crops, feed supplies and trees from
excessive loss due to invasions of wild game.
Rural people have as much interest as
anyone else in wild life conservation and
in most cases the problems can be solved,
or at least kept within reasonable bounds,
by working out a control program in coop
Grafton with the officials who enforce the
game laws.
But sometimes losses are so severe that
differences of opinion arise as to what
should or should not be done to protect
property.

er farmers in the district nave had similar
experiences.
Montana Farmer-Stockman doesn't know
the answer to this duck question unless per-
haps the government is in a position to
assign some army fliers to such areas to help
scare the birds out of the corn. And we
doubt whether that would be either prac-
teal or effective. Have any of our readers
any suggestions as to possible control
measures?

Straws in the Wind

Many farmers favor marketing quotas
rather than acreage restrictions for con-
trolling wheat SURPRISES. Marketing quotas
would enable growers to hold back produc-
ton of bumper years for sale in years of
short crops. But some farm organization
leaders are afraid marketing quotas would
be very difficult to administer. There would
be danger of "bootlegging." And heavy sup
plies of over-quota grain would probably
lave a bearish effect on markets. However,
provision is made for the use of marketing
quotas under the present price support law
so they may be tried. They might work bet
ter than critics predict.
4 * X
Word from Washington reveals that USDA
is preparing for a probable nationwide farm
er referendum within the next three or four
months on the question of putting wheat
under production controls. If approved, such
controls would apply to wheat planted for
harvest in 1850. They might be in the form
of acreage restrictions or marketing quotas,
or both. Final decision as to the holding of
a referendum will be postponed until 1949
production can be forecast with reasonable
certainty. But The present outlook is that
production controls will be deemed neces-
sary and that the referendum will be held.
Costs of ingredients are down but bread
prices stay up. Flour represents about 25
percent of the retail price of bread and it
is about Is percent cheaper than a year ago.
The cost of lard is down so percent and milk
is about 20 percent lower in average u. S..
price. But bakers say higher labor and
transportation costs make it impossible to
reduce bread prices.
Good management is going to be more
important than ever in the years that lie
ahead. Efficient use of equipment, timely
operations, good seed, proper tillage meth
DDS and careful marketing are among the
factors that will nave a lot to do in deter
mining profits.
Government wheat loans in Montana
were reported on 1885, 874 bushels stored on

Is Your Crop Sprayer Responsible?
The Editors Page

ONE of the important subjects discussed
" at recent weed control conferences in
Montana and other states was the matter of
responsibility for damage that sometimes
occurs when contract spraying or busting
is carried on. An instance was cited last
year when a farmer lost a shelterbelt
through wind-drift from the plane of a con-
tract sprayer who was operating on an adj
joining farm. There nave been other cases
where farm buildings have been destroyed
through plane crashes. These accidents have
usually been caused by inexperienced pilots.
In some of these instances the contracting
companies carried no liability insurance and
were not financially able to pay for the
damage done.
Contract sprayers are planning to treat
extensive acreages in Montana this season.
Some of these concerns are experienced and
financially responsible and carry adequate
insurance against public liability and prop
erty damage. But there is danger that some
individuals and companies will be out after
business this season that will be short on
experience as well as financial responsibility.
There is no state law providing for the
licensing and control of commercial spray
ing and busting agencies. Under the circum-
stances it will be up to the growers them
selves to demand satisfactory assurances
from the contractors that the operators are
experienced and that the company or indi-
vidual carries insurance, or is bonded suffi-
GENTLY to protect them against public liza
bility or damage to neighboring places.
Farmers should also make sure that the
spraying or busting material is of proper
strength and type for the crop to be treated.
There were cases last season where crops
were damaged because the solutions used
were too strong or of the wrong type for
the particular situation.
Recommendations recently made by the
Washington State Aviation association with
respect to desirable legislation reflect the
thinking of some of the responsible agencies
that have given consideration to proper
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-01

financial responsibility of contracting con-
This report makes the following rec
on this subject:
Each person, partnership, company,
corporation, cooperative or association
commercially engaged in the application
for hire of insecticides, sprays, dusts or
hormones within the state, for the pur-
pose of eradicating or controlling pests
or disease, shall:
() Submit to the state department
of agriculture evidence to prove he is
financially responsible, in the event of
public liability or property damage in
connection with crop busting or spray
ing activities, to the extent of a mini
mum of $4,000. This proof of response
bility shall be acceptable by the depart
ment in one of three forms:
(a) Certificate of an insurance COM
pany authorized to do business in this
state recording issuance of a policy to
the application for property damage and
public liability insurance.
(b) Certificate of a surety company
licensed in this state that it has issued a
bond on the applicator, guaranteeing
payment up to the $4,000 minimum, in
case of public liability or property
damage.
(c) Deposit with the state of cash or
acceptable collateral in the amount of
$4,000.
Unless you are willing and able to Absorb
any losses due to property damage or liza
bility that might occur in the spraying O
busting of your crop by a contracting con
Germ or individual, you will do well to insis
on satisfactory assurance in writing tina
you will be protected in case of damage o
liability.
Some of the contracting agencies are re
sponsible concerns carrying adequate insul
ance and employing only experienced opel
ators and pilots. Others cannot qualify ade
quately in either respect. Make sure 20

New Gas Seam Hit

Gas officials reported a gas seam
was found at depth of $500 feet
last Thursday in Canaan Valley, five
miles east of Davis, w. Va.
A company official, Robert E. Lee,
said the seam was much nearer the
surface than others discovered in the
area and was producing about 100000
cubic feet of gas daily. Drilling for
the lower gas is being continued.
Previously gas had been found
about 5000 feet below ground in the
Tucker county area. The company
has drilled three other wells in a
10000 acre tract in Canaan Valley.
Gas from those workings enters 12-
inch main at Thomas and supplies
the area covered by the Cumberland
and Allegheny Gas company.
