cereal production, as well as helping
to fill in a few weak spots in the
livestock industry. Such use will
strengthen both without any sacri-
flee to either.
Seed Production
The possibilities of the production
of grass and legune seed both under
dryland and irrigated systems in
Montana are tremendous. Seed pro-
duction is an exacting type of farm
ing that requires time and effort.
The soils and climate Of Montana are
particularly adapted to seed grow
ing, and with the development and
release of new varieties and strains
such production is needed not only
for state use, but for the entire ma
ton. With such a need and for such
a wide area Of adaptations the acre
return is favorable.
While acre yields are much larger
on land that can be irrigated, dryland
production gives satisfactory return
and presents fewer problems of iso-
lation and greater possibility of pro-
ducing seed of high purity.
Only by encouraging a large in
crease in seed production in those
areas where conditions are favorable
will the national grassland program
be able to meet its ultimate goal.

Montono's Grassland Program
Dryland Grass Uses
By RALPH MERCER, Agyonomia
Montana Extension Serpice
b. RALPH MERCER, Agronomis
Montana Extension Service

Editors Note: This is the third
in series of five articles dealing
with the major phases of the
grassland program sponsored by
Montana State college in coop
GRAFTON with the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture.
THE PRODUCTION Of grass in
dryland crop areas is confined to
three types of use: "a Erosion con
troll, % supplemental feed produc-
ton, and 90 alternate uses.
The problem of erosion control on
our dryland crop areas requires not
only the application of present prac-
tees, but the introduction of any
new methods that will help fortify
the systems now in use. Grass and
the products of grass seem to offer
many ways of strengthening erosion
control practices.
The use of grass in effective water
spreading, seeding to grass of high
spots vulnerable to wind erosion,
seeding of grass strips to further pro-
tect strips that are in an alternate
fallow-crop farming system and the
seeding of grass in permanent grass
waterways are samples of the effec-
tive use of grass in erosion control
Feed Production
Since feed is the limiting factor
in the livestock industry in Montana,
thousands of acres of dryland crop
land temporarily retired from the
alternate crop-fallow rotation, or
land too shallow. for consistent yields
under cereal cropping, could be used
in the production of grass to help
stabilize the industry. Early pasture
and hay produced on these acres
would help to supply additional feec
for livestock at time when it is mos
urgently needed.
AS weather and production need:
60 in cycles in Montana, SO does the
acreage of crop planted each year
The blowing of scotland in the las
10 years has added tremendously t.
the number of cultivated acres. Il
this cycle, as planted acreages g
up and down, those areas which ar
either temporarily or permanent,
retired from production should b
seeded to grass.
This would not only protect thos
lands from erosion, but it would ais
produce much needed feed. In add
ton, there would be added to thes
soils much needed vegetable matte
which would put them in better cor
dition for cultivation should futur
needs require their being used fo
cereal production.
Grass used in such ways unde
dryland crop production will hav
a tremendous effect upon futu1

THERE IS A government main

of the Fisher river in Montana where
many people from all over the north

quantities of huckleberries for mar

I came to Lincoln county over 20
years ago and worked for the U. S.

dents and the bears. got to thinking

After 1881, I started picking and
buying berries from handful of
neighbors whom / could get to pick
for me. Then an Indian family picked
one summer. 1 got them interested
in getting more of their friends to
pick, and by 1888 / had so Indians
picking for me. furnished the
fresh berries to stores in all the
principal cities of Montana. BY 1886
81 we had over 500 Indians in camp.
The Indians, the original buckle
berry pickers, once picked and dried
the berries in the sun for winter con-
sumption, and still do to some extent
With this great horde of pickers, we
got more berries than we could
handle and two other buyers came
in. We furnished the cities in north
ern Idaho and western Washington
There were $4,000 gallons picked
each year and every year until the
war. Since the war we have hac
more people in camp, Indians from
all over the United States.
We start picking huckleberriei

the first part of October. We star
to pick the low berries that start t
ripen on the sunny slopes about ~
miles from camp.

OF Minnesota, Douglas of Illinois
and Lehman Of New York, failed
in long series of efforts to bring
the bill closer to the administra-
tion's $40 billion request. Il
During more than a week of
floor battle, Chairman George of
the Finance Committee backed by
Senator Millikin. Republican, of
Colorado. won every major skirm-
ish with the administration sup
porters. Committee supporters
argued the bill already imposed as
much of new burden as taxpay-
ers can stand, short of all-out war.
The liberals argued that corpora
tions and individuals in the high
brackets should pay more to avoid
the deficit that seems unavoidable
for the next few years, as defense
spending increases. N...
The vote on final Senate passage
was 81 to 10, with SO Democrats
and 10 Republicans supporting the
SIS. .450 900, 900 measure. Five DEM
ocrats and IA Republicans voted
no" Senators Humphrey, Leh-
man and Douglas voted against
the bill because they regarded it
as inequitable. But some of the
Republicans voted against the
measure on the ground that the
administration should cut spend
ing before raising more taxes.
One of the questions to be de-
cided next week by the conferees
is how soon employers will begin
taking the additional tax on wage
earners out of pay envelopes.
The House bill was intended to
start September l, because it
passed the bill in mid. Summer.
Due to long Senate hearings,
the bill now fixes November / to
start increased withholding, and
this date probably will be met,
unless there is unexpected delay
in getting a conference agree
|ment. There is no sentiment in
Congress for making the indi-
|vidual tax boost retroactive. Cor

be collected back, either to April
or January of 1851. .
