however, in time, produce the raw ma

products of modern industry. Even
when the colony becomes independent
and 1 want to emphasize this, the de-
velopment of backward areas of the
globe is mutually advantageous to the
developer and the developed, and the
raising of a colony to a self governing
state is a gain-not a loss-for both
parties.

WHY BRITAIN's PRESENT
PLIGHT
The present economic plight of Brit
ain is not due to the loss of colonies
but to the loss of investments in the
dollar area which formerly paid for
the greater proportion OF purchases in |
the US-there was no other way in
which the US could permit payment, |
other that in bullion perhaps How |
were these investments lost? They |
were dissipated in buying time for the |
US and the Soviet Union by way of |
and raw materials to hold |
the greatest military machine in hist
DRY, and fascism at bay. All European
have a similar dollar prob
lem accentuated by the ravages of
war. Should dollar exchange be denied
them, the US would lose a great mar
ket and unemployment in the US would
rise alarmingly, and as things are at
he moment, in Europe too.
Another factor, of course, that alters
and Europe's place in the
world is that they have to compete ,
With the Industrial might of the US,
by war. They have one
advantage, however, in that they need
he other fellows" goods as well as
lis market. j
The other derogatory references to
britain by Mr.. Locke are not worthy of b,
office. Given peace, Britain will pros =
ystem which has advantages as well
S grave defects. :,

Conservation Use
By M. 2. HANSMEIER

THE ACREAGE RESTRICTION
program will make possible and nee
essary a number of conservation uses
that have not been used to the fullest
extent because of the pressure for
land. Some of the practices that sug-
gest themselves are the following:
l. erased waterways. erased
waterways are needed and adapted
in almost every cultivated area in
Montana. So far, but little progress
has been made in the application of
this practice. Surely, in many in
stances, there is no better use of
diverted areas than a good grassed
waterway.
z. Regrassing low producing land.
Within the last few years, many
steep hill sides, gravel bars and other
low producing lands have been
broken out for cultivation. Such
lands should be the first to be re-
tired to permanent vegetative cover.
3. Contour strip farming with
grass 0uI1SI SIk1PSs one Oh The OD-
jections to contour strip farming has
been that an average of about 25
percent of the area is taken up by
grass buffer strips. The reduction
program should make it possible to
get big increase in this practice
in the areas where contour farming
is needed.
A. Straight wind stripping. IN
doubtedly one of the results of the
adjustment program will be an in
crease in the acreage of summerfal
low. Let's do all we can to see tha
fallow, which is always vulnerable
to wind and water erosion, is pro
tected as far as possible. Among
other things this is going to call fol-
an increase in the acreage of strip
cropping.
5. Grass rotations. Even where
grass cannot be used for livestocl
because of lack of water, it still has
a definite value as a rotation crop II

Two-Year Fallow
BY M. A. BELL

AS the designation implies, two
year fallow is land left uncropped
but in state free from plant growth
during a period of two growing sea-
sons. Thus if a field was cropped TO
wheat in 1949 the stubble would be
left standing over the current winter,
kept free of broad leaf and grassy
weeds throughout 1850 and 1851 I'M
til planting time in the fall when
winter wheat is to be sown, or
through another winter season until
seeding time for spring wheat in
1852.
Where winter wheat is to be
planted, the lapse of time from har-
vest in 1949 to drilling in the fall
of 1851 will approximate 25 months,
while in case of spring wheat sown
in 1852, the total fallow period APP
proaches 80 months.
Increased Yields

periments on medium loan soils of

lands to wind and water erosion.
Such grass seedlings may also be
used as buffer strips at intervals
across the field in connection with
strip cropping as wind erosion con-
troll measure.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-02-01

that two-year fallow, properly han
died, can be expected to outyield
one-year fallow by an average of
about three bushels of spring wheat
per acre.
At the Huntley branch station on
rather heavy soils, there is evidence
that the difference in favor of two
year fallow would possibly be con-
siderably greater than that at Havre.
Whereas the average advantage in
favor of two-year fallow over ordi-
nary fallow is probably not as much
as some might expect, results in GER
tain seasons could be of considerable
economic significance. In series of
years having below normal rainfall,
but where there was an opportunity
to build up soil moisture reserves
during the two previous falloW sea-
sons, it is conceivable that two-year
fallow might spell the difference be-
tween very good or only mediocre
yield. Under other more favorable
conditions, two-year fal1ow should
generally equal or exceed one-year
fallow in productivity.
Erosion Problem
Problem in handling two-year fall
low to prevent excessive wind or
water erosion constitutes the most
serious objection to the practice. Suf-
ficient ti1lage to reduce loss of soil
moisture from weeds during the two
growing seasons plus smoothing of
the surface due to weathering, would
no doubt destroy most clods while
repeated cultivation and the time
element would quite likely deterio-
rate and reduce trash cover to
minimum, thus developing soil
surface condition conducive to blow
ing and washing.
Fallow Practice
However, by taking advantage Of
present information, it is possible to
suggest a system of handling two
year fallow in a manner so that ero-
sion hazards could be greatly mini
mized. From a study of various dry
land tillage experiences, the best
indicated plan for two-year fallow
can be outlined as follows, using
as an example land cropped to grain
this year:
1. Leave the 1949 crop stubble
standing and rooted to the soil dur
ing the winter just after harvest.
Stubble land to be two-year fallowed
preferably should be weed free at
harvest, and NOT cultivated the first
fall
Chemical Weed Control
2. In the spring of 1850 when the
initial cultivation for ordinary fall
low is normally given, wait until
weed growth has started and instead
of filling the soil, administer a spray
ing of 2,4-D to kill or set back broad
leaf weeds, including mustards, Rus.

Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-02-01

But barley, too, will likely be I'm
der controls after 1850. In fact, it
was brought out at the conference
that there is almost no crop the
wheat producer can turn to that does
not or will not have its own prob
lem of surplus.
Except grass. It has been esti-
mated that for adequate control of
wheat surplus some 30,000,000 acres
in the nation should be taken out
OF production. 1t has also been esti-
mated that if all this acreage were
converted to livestock production our
livestock products supplies would be
increased by about percent, mar
gin which our increased population
might readily absorb.
Even for the dryland operator who
cannot utilize it in connection with
livestock, grass has possibilities for
diverted acreage use.
He can use 1t as a rotation for
conservation and rebuilding his
soil and he can raise If as cash
crop for seed. This latter posi-
biiify will be treated more fully
IN later articles.
Grass Rotation
Grass in crop rotation will be feas-
ible only where it can be regarded
as long term investment. Bell has
this to say on the subject:
s'The effect of grass in crop rota-
tons for the dryland areas has indi-
Gated that while the yield of grains
on fallow in such cropping systems
is usually no greater than on alterna-
ted crop and fallow, filth of the soil
and resistance to both wind and wa
ter erosion nearly always show
marked improvement, especially
where crested wheatgrass is used.
Inclusion of legumes in the crop
ping plan likewise has had negligible
effect upon yield and not as much
influence on the surface physical
condition of the soil as where
adapted grasses are a part of the ro-
tation.
''Sod crops in a dryland rotation
ordinarily do not follow any general
pattern of crop sequence. For ex-
ample, grass established on part Of
the land ought to be left for or II
years and perhaps longer, then re-
broken and brought under alternate
following and cropping, while a cor
responding area of the older farmee
land is returned to resting interva
in sod.
s'Just how long these better acre
should be left in grass is not sub
ject to any set rule, but good 500
cover established once or twice
generation might be beneficial il
maintaining reasonable degree @
stability.
THE benefits 10 be expected
are chiefly those of improved
filth. resistance TO wind and wa
Ter erosion and considerations of
physical character rather than
increased yields"
In addition to the extension {
conservation practices, the drylan
operator who cannot turn to live
stock might consider the possibilitis
of two-year fallow program. TIL
subject was discussed fully in
