Rancher Moves Yard Of Dirt, Creek 10000
By LARRY GILL

1886 show deep assures that are
now completely closed in. Eight and
nine foot sheer-sided gullies are now
only slightly noticeable grass-filled
depressions.
These are on one small section of
the bottom land that circuit first
started experimenting with in 1886.
Now he is in full stride on his end of
the dirt moving project and will
complete loop or two of the creek
bed each year. Pumpkin creek will
take her time, but in 20 or 80 years
she is supposed to have her end of
the dirt moving program pretty well
completed, too.
Private Project
The circuit spread was put to-
gether on a shoestring, and is held
together today only with the money
his cattle produce. He has no other
major form of income. The de-
velopment work is definitely not
intended as a future irrigated
truck farm.
The $4,000 acres of range land
that fan out on either side of the
bottom land furnish summer range
for several hundred head of cattle.
The bottom land should produce the
winter feed. One cannot operate
safely nor economically without the
other. Eliminate either one and
you eliminate, or materially reduce,
the usefulness of the other.

Phosphorus

EAOSPnO10S
Phosphorus like nitrogen also
produces more abundant growth
of pasture crops, and it is observed
that pastures fortified with phos-
phorus alone have greater palata-
bility. Animals will Craze most in
tensively on a portion of a field
where phosphate fertilizer has been
applied.
Because it is the mineral element
that is so often deficient in the soil,
it is also deficient in the feeds and
causes deficiency in animals.
Application of Fertilizers
Irrigated and sub-irrigated pas
lures can be fertilized by broadcast
ing the fertilizer on the surface with
number of different broadcasting
machines now on the market, or the
fertilizer may be applied with a
combination grain and fertilizer
drill. For most other crops it is
necessary to apply phosphate ferti-
1izers down in the ground.
For the correction of phosphorus
deficiency the phosphate fertilizers
alone are used. Also this is all that
is needed on the 1egume crops which
get their nitrogen from the air. Two
hundred pounds of treble super
phosphate (042-0), or 400 pounds of
single superphosphate (0-18-O), are
NEEDED as minimum. This treatment
may be made every year, or at least
every other year. The phosphate
fertilizires may be applied during
any season of the year that it is
practical to get over the field, and
when the crop is not too high to
interfere. Fall and winter applica-
tons are very successful.
Nitrogen Phosphorus Combination
Where pastures are largely,
grasses a nitrogen and phosphorus
combination is best. The two we'll
known combination fertilizers are
10000 and $500. Two hundred 10
$50 pounds of either of these fertil-
izers every other year is practical
treatment. Where the pasture is
nearly all grasses, it is advisable to
apply the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COM
bination the first year, and follow
the second or every alternate year
with treatment of nitrogen alone.
The two fertilizers containing
only nitrogen are ammonium sui
plate (20-0-0) and ammonium nj
trate 5000. Ammonium sulphate
should be applied at the rate of
$50 pounds, and ammonium nitrate
at an equivalent rate of 100 pounds
per acre.
Irrigated pastures are usually
small areas. The fertilizer dollar
will bring good return when spent
on these acres to produce more feed
OF higher mineral content.

FertiIise Irrigated Pasture For
Maximum Grass Production
By JESSE GREEN

EDISON SAID, "GRASS is the
greatest invention" At least 1T is
the greatest crop that grows in Mon
tana. On irrigated pastures it pro-
duces a greater return per acre than
any other crop, considering the eff
fort required to produce it.
Because of the ability of grass to
produce, it needs plenty of raw ma
teria1, or plant foods, to build the
best crops. Experience has shown
that nitrogen and phosphorus are
the first elements depleted in the
soil
Nitrogen
On most pastures we grow mix
ture of grasses and 1egumes. The
legumes have the ability to get part
of their nitrogen from the air, but
the grasses must be fed nitrogen.
This element is the limiting factor
in the production of protein, and
protein is one of the principal food
materials we get from pastures.

So Billions in Housing
Financed BY Life Insurance

Life insurance dollars at the
start of this year accounted for
$8,232, 100000 of postwar housing
financing, the Institute of Life
Insurance reported yesterday.
Insurance companies have had
a significant role in postwar hous-
ing expansion, the institute noted
in analyzing an annual report of
life company mortgage invest
ments made by the Home Loan
Bank Board.
The total new mortgage financ-
ing of life companies in 1949
amounted to $3,312,000,0 900, of
which $1.747, ,000, 900 or SO per

do you think caused this blister
ing and peeling and what should
we do before attempting to re-

Answer: The cause of peeling
and blistering is the presence of
moisture behind the paint film.
This moisture might be due to
condensation forming on the

Court Of Appeals Upholds Income
 Tax Withholding

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-The U. s. circuit court of appeals upheld late Wednesday the right of Alas ka to require the Alaska Steam ship Go. to deduct a Territorial withholding income tax from em- ployees' wages.
 The appellate court upheld the federal district courts judgment.
 The Alaska Steamship Go. said it was caught in the middle of a fight between the Territory and the AF'L Sailors Union of the Pa cific. The company opera s steamships between Seattle and Alaska ports.
 After passage of the Territorial tax law last March, the company was directed by M. P. Mullaney. Territorial commissioner of taxa ton, to withhold the tax. The Sailors Union then got an injunc- ton prohibiting the company from remitting the withheld taxes to the Territory. The union held the sailors did not live in the Ter ritory and should not have to pay the tax.
 The company put the withheld amounts into a special reserve fund, then it sued for an injunc- ton to prevent Alaska from fore ing it to collect the tax.
