This Community Pulled Itself
Out of the Mud
By GLENN SAUNDERS, Saltwater Co.ns,

NO ONE EXCEPT a rural resident
knows what it is to have muddy I'm
improved roads as the only means to
get to his market and sources of
everyday needs. Here is a story of
how a group in one Montana COM
munity got together and pulled
themselves out of the mud.
There r go miles of roads IN
Saltwater county. Of these only 210
miles are graveled or paved, leaving
700 miles of graded and dirt roads
700 miles of impassibility when the
gumbo and sundry other types of
soil get wet.
With the limited amount of mon
ey and equipment at hand, county
commissioners find it virtually i'm
possible to please their constituents
under the demand for improved
roads and constant maintenance
work.
About a year ago the Saltwater
Junior Chamber of Commerce, bet
ter known as the JayCees, began
circulating questionnaires in an eff
fort to raise public reaction to the
situation. Meetings with the COM
missioners were held, and when the
situation was clarified, the reason
for the roads remaining In their
present condition boiled down simply
to lack of money.
Then late in the summer of 1913
a final effort was made by the Jay
Gees to determine possible ways and
means to correct the situation. Per-
sons of various communities We're
invited TO attend a meeting where
opinions and ideas were discussed.
County-Farmer Cooperation
Among other ideas, was one Of
reciprocal help whereby county and
farmer crews and equipment would
combine TO apply pit run gravel TO
bad spots or sections of the road as
designated by the farmer. This plan
was literally sprinkled with cold wa
ter at the start because past expert
nee had seemed to prove that vol
unteer help and money sound fine
but just never materialize when the
crucial time comes. Nevertheless it
was felt the plan had possibilities.
Committee men were picked to pre-
sent this plan to their respective
communities and a meeting date set
ahead two weeks to give everyone
ample time to act.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-05-01

Countryman creek road, a few miles
from Columbus, got together and
drew up plans for action. Their road
was the usual type of mad +. . and
more mud that was impossible at
times, and they wanted gravel. Un-
like a great many people in the same
situation they wanted it badly
enough to pay for it with either help
or cash.
Armed with these facts the cora
mittee converged upon the second
meeting of the JayCees and laid their
cards on the table. Their proposal
was short and to the point: They
would Immediately get behind any
thing capable of putting gravel ca
their road.
County equipment at the time was
busy, but the commissioners pledged
themselves to defray the cost of a
loader to load gravel if the farmers
would furnish trucks and drivers.
Within "a hours a one-half yard
shovel had been hired, and plans
went swiftly ahead.
Farm Trucks Unsuitable
Originally, it was thought that
each farmer would furnish his own
truck or the equivalent in time or
cash. The commissioners soon made
it clear farm trucks, even though
equipped with improvised dumping
aids, were entirely unsuitable and
would slow up the job. And speed
was the essence of success, for with
out it money would be wasted ON an
idle shovel, to no ones profit.
Consequently, each farmer and
rancher contributed cash and thus
$4,000 was banked under the Coun-
tryman creek road improvement
fund. No set amount was called
upon, but each person contributed
what he thought he could personally
afford or what the gravel was worth
to him in terms of his real estate
holdings. A local contractor, owner
of the shovel hired, was authorized
to check on this money for dump
truck hire.
AS a beginning, the county was
prevailed upon to start the project
by crawling some two miles on the
lower end of the road and below
a crossroad which led in from n
other community. They obtained the
gravel for this near Columbus and,
although there was considerable
Over-run size stuff in it, expert work
on the road patrol soon had an ex-
eellent gravel road started.
Find Gravel Deposit
BY the time this first lap was fin
ished the hauls were getting long
enough to increase greatly the cost
of the gravel delivered to the road.
The farmers had already prospected
for and found a glacier deposit of
gravel Immediately adjacent to their
road and situated to cut hauls to a
minimum IN the beginning of their
part. For years the deposit had gone
UNEMPLOYED and was ideal in gravel
size, with practically no over-run,
and sufficient in quantity for the
job at hand.
The work now increased in speed,
as the hauls were shorter and less
gravel was applied to the road. Most
of the farmers thought a road some
what than the county had
quilt would do very nicely. and.

Farm and Ranch Experiences

WHEN L THINK OF raising corn, L
think of the greater results obtained
by using hybrid seed.
We raised some hybrid corn here
in Richland county in 1941 and were
not too well pleased with it. In the
fall of 1912 I took a trip to Colorado,
and on my farm there, which my
son was farming, 1 saw what hybrid
would do in comparison to open pol
linated corn. 1 helped hand pick
the corn on this farm and, to my sur
prise, the hybrid out-yielded the
open pollinated over 35 percent. This
seems unbelievable until you have
tried it yourself.
In 1948 my field was planted with
three different hybrids. Besides
these we had a test plot of four more
hybrids which were still better
yielders. We are using two of these
for our main crop in 1949. / always
believed / could raise 100-bushel
corn here when the right hybrids
were developed for this area. Having
reached this goal on land that could
easily have been more fertile, I now
expect to raise up to 1870 bushels per
acre and possibly more in the future.
Short Season HYbrids
Several hybrids have been de-
veloped for the northwest short yea
son area. Too many growers wait
until about time to plant before buy
ing seed, then, to some extent, leave
selection of seed to the dealer, who,
many times, does not know the char
acteristics of the hybrids he is sell
ing.
Seed does not need to be locally
grown, as maturity and all its other
traits are bred into each hybrid so
that it will produce i~dentically the
same regardless of where the seed
is grown or the corn grown. 1 know
of one college that proved this out
and of one company that has been
growing and testing hybrids for this
northwest area, some of them es-
pecially for dryland.
My son, who was field inspector
for a company, conducted me
through a large plant in Iowa. This
plant overs a city block and it was
very interesting to see how hybrid
seed corn is handled.
Strong Roots. Stalks
