had one pothole that had been nuisance to
him for IA years. Crops were frequently
drowned out, and just as frequently he was
unable to fallow the area when he worked
the rest of the field
A survey made by the soil conservation
service showed that the hole could be
drained with ditch running to the north
west. Formerly Hawkins had assumed it
would have to drain to the east. He rented
a whirlwind terracer from the soil conserva-
ton district and in 10 hours constructed a
ditch about 800 feet long, u feet wide and
2 feet deep in places.

Drainage bitches for Dry Land

There have been heavy spring runoffs
since the ditch was built and last year
there was cloudburst during the summer,
but the ditch carried off the water easily
and the summer fallow in the area was
never flooded as it often was before This
ditch and several other constructed on the
place have paid off well, Hawkins says, dur
ing the wet harvest seasons this. year and
last.
Yes, there's dryland draining to be done
on many farms in Montana Projects such
as these prove it can be done and this is the
time Of year to do it.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-10-15

DRAINING DRY LAND may sound like
a project on par with providing ice boxes
for Eskimos, but many Montana farmers
are doing it.
The problem, of course, is potholes These
depressions in fields collect spring runoff
water and create swampy areas that cam
not be farmed over with machinery They
dry up too late in the spring to be seeded
with the rest of the fields, and after heavy
rains they often hold water so long that
growing grain may be killed out In short,
they create constable areas of waste land
in otherwise productive fields.
But they can be redeemed. This has been
demonstrated by many farmers who have
established small but highly effective and
profitable pothole drainage projects.
Reclaimed IS Acres
There's Clarence Nelson, for instance, who
farms under the Reserve soil conservation
district in Sheridan county. With the help
of the soil conservation service he has
drained off 10 potholes to reclaim directly
Is acres of land and materially improve
many more surrounding acres. The project
involved about 5000 yards of dirt. At IS
cents a yard the cost amounted to $3.50.
In one unit 10 potholes were connected
with bitches and drained into two large
slough areas. These areas now stay well
filled with water and make year around
wildlife habitats.
The principle involved in dryland drain
age is the construction of bitches or chan
nels that are deep enough to drain the area
yet wide and sloping enough to permit full
use Of machinery over them. One cut in the
Nelson project was A feet deep but the aver
age was III feet. In one field where many
potholes were drained some years ago the
cuts are now seeded over and hardly visible.
Plagued for IA Years
Then there's E. j. Hawkins who has
drained several spots on his farm on the
Highwood bench in Chouteau county. He

Secret Of successful pot
hole drainage projects is
bitches that are wide
enough TO be worked
easily with machinery.
The ditch shown in the
center picture is 4 feet
deep but its easy slopes
make il a part Of the
field. The slough shown
in the bottom picture is

lot of people skating around a

The turning point, for some
reason johnson cannot explain,
was Philadelphia. Good crowds
came and officials from Madison
Square Garden and Boston Gar
den secuted the show, liked it and
booked it. It has had smooth
skating ever since.

first hectic tour. Shipstad and
Johnson spied a young man put
ting on an acrobatic act as spe-
cial feature of the Silver Skates
in Madison Square Garden. They
signed him and that's how Harris
Legg of Ontario met Phyllis Reb-
holz of st. Paul. They were mar
ried in 1941.
Legg is the big stunt man of the
Follies. Besides the silt act,
which he does with his wife he
does an act of his own in which
he leaps over the pretty heads of
show girls and winds up jumping
through a fearsome- looking sphere
with many sharp-edged revolving
parts.
