erased WAYS
Stop Erosion
BY WILLIAM JOHNSON
Sheridan Conmty

ERASED WATERWAYS have
have solved the problem of water
erosion on our land.
Five years ago we had far too
many eroding waterways. There
were places in my fields that were
washed SO badly that it was impos-
sible to drive over them with a
tractor. They were as much as or
6 feet deep.
With the help of the soil conserva-
ton service we filled in these cuts
and made new, straight ways for the
water to run without sharp drops
or falls. These ways were all seeded
to slender wheat grass.
Since the development of these
ways we have had no further
erosion.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-10-01

that we need, some years none. In
1949 it took two irrigations and that
was the only year as long as we
have been farming.
The strips we summerfallow seem
to gain enough nitrogen to carry the
crop each year.
Summerfallow makes a good seed
bed that can be put in early and
with little effort This gives one time
to attend to irrigating right away if
it is dry spring. 1t takes only half
the seed and half the weed spray
ing.
There is also only half the COM
bining and we get twice the yield on
the seeded acres. The width of our
strips are 100 feet and that is the
width we irrigate, using border dikes
put up with a grader, taking the
dirt away from the summerfallow
strip. These bikes are turned back
any. time before harvest.
Of course, there are some disad-
vantages, too. This method takes
twice as much land because half
of it is always summerfallow. The
summerfallow will blow some
springs If it is not formed trashy.

Silo Saves First Crop
Boosts Butterfat and Birth Rate
BY ISAAC ROGNRUD, Lake County

and I think a lot Of that can be
laid to silage. This last year the IL
cows on test averaged 419 pounds
plus of butterfat, with herd aver
age test of 5.26 and this on about
one third less grain than before. No
concentrate is required. Silage takes
care of that.
Of course I feed some hay, as /
put up my second cutting of alfalfa
as always. That time of year here
we usually have some good haying
weather. But there is no reason why
second and third cuttings cannot be
silaged. It is rather hard to estimate
the tonnage in one of these trench
silos, but as close as / can figure, it
cost me from So to So per ton of sill
age. This can vary according to the
way it is put in.
Homemade Wire Sings
The chopper I have requires two
operations in the field. A chopper
with cutter bar was not available
at the time got mine, so have
to NOV first, then pick it up with
the chopper. use power mower
with pea rover and then pick it
up from there, putting wagon be-
hind and a tractor to haul to the pit.
We drive through the trench and
roll the load off the end of the
wagon Git has an end gate on hinges)
with homemade woven wire sling.
have also used trucks to haul with,
which of course is more expensive
and, in my estimation, is not any
more efficient.

We Summerfallow and Strip
Our Irrigated Wheat Land
By HERMAN & ARNOLD SEWING, Phillips County
By HERMAN 6 ARN(

OUR ALL-AROUND experience
with strip cropping and summerfal-
lowing irrigated land has been very
good in raising grain.
Continuous straight grain farming
under irrigation has many disad-
vantages. When the land is new or
first broken up, continuous grain
cropping under irrigation looks fine
and does well for a number of years,
but as the years go by the yield goes
down little each year until it is
Improbable. Also you invite weed
problem such as wild oats or the
grass weeds 2, 4-D doesn't kill.
If you want to pillow or work your
land in the fall for next year, it
usually is hard and dry and very
difficult to work. Most river bot
tom land is not suited for deep
working in the spring either; it
bakes and gets lumpy. So there are
many years that the grain goes into
a very poor seed bed.
In strip cropping and summer
following irrigated land, we use only
half or less than half as much wa
er, and from that we get good
crop. Generally one irrigation is all

HAVE LIVED here in Lake
county 81 years and have put up
lot of poor quality alfalfa and red
clover hay. I have seen a lot more
poor hay put up. Consequently, ]
began looking around for some other
way to save my hay. 1 had heard
about grass silage, but didn't know
much about it. Gathering all the
information I could through our
county agent and other sources,
decided to try it.
1 bought a pickup field chopper
and dug a trench into side hill
about 80 feet long and feet deep,
being about 10 feet wide in the bot
tom and about IA feet wide on top
e foot bottom with II foot top and
age settles it will stay tight at the

Unloading the chopped hay from the
truck. An anchored cable 's fastened
10 the front end of the Sing. which is
homemade of hog wire. and the hay is
rolled out as the truck moves forward.
7 feet deep would be the ideal di-
mensions).
The sides should slope; as the sill
sides. If the sides are too straight,
silage will settle away from the sides
and leave air pockets and spoil the
silage. The idea is the same as in
canning anything; make it as air
tight as possible.
Preservative Needed
Of course, some kind of preserva-
tive will have to be added to grass
silage, as legumes lack that. l have
used molasses, a by-product from
the sugar beet factory, at the rate
of about SO pounds to the ton of
green silage. There are several other
personalities on the market now
that can be used, also just plain
sugar.
What / like about this method of
putting up hay is that you don't
have to wait for hay weather. If
you don't mind getting wet, don't
stop for rain, just keep on making
silage. In fact, it is little better
if the hay does get wet With this
method one can cut clover and
alfalfa when it is the most nutritious
and here in Lake county where we
raise lot of red clover, the first
crop can be made into silage and
taken right off the field so as to get
the second crop ripened before too
much rain in the fall. Besides, one
gets some very good feed.
In the three years 1 have followed
this way of haying my first crop of
alfalfa and clover, have had better
results from my dairy herd than be-
fore.

ton, also the Artificial Breeding

Are We Americans?

:; An Illinois speech professor has
asked me to expose the myth that
"the United States is the only ma
ton in the world that has no name
for its inhabitants. We should not
be called Americans
This erroneous idea turns up reg
ularly in my mail. Indeed, reader
H. B., of Los Angeles, states on a
postcard received today: "An Amer
lean is any native of the Western
Hemisphere, from the North Pole
to the South Pole"
Let us discuss the two statements
in the order in which they appear
above.
/. Citizens of this country have
always been known as Americans
we were so called even before there
was United States. The terms
. America and American are recog-
nized all over the world as applying
: to this country and its inhabitants.
AL dictionaries known to me give
