In MemOriam

In memory of my dear son and
brother, Pfc. Robert E. Fink
(Dinky) U.S.A., who was killed
in action in Korea on August 6,
1850.
Sad and sudden was the call
Of one so dearly loved by all,
A bitter grief, a shock severe
1t was to part with one so dear.
Ny heart still aches with sadness
My eyes shed many tears,
Only God knows how much l
miss you
At the end of one long year.
| have only your memory, Dinky
To remember my whole life
through,
But your smiles will linger forever
AS | treasure the thoughts of
you.
You are not forgotten, Dinky
Nor will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last,
| will remember thee.

Horse and Buggy Reclamation

The old saying that cit takes three crops
of settlers to develop an irrigation project"
was tragically true of those earlier districts.
AS Roy Huffman of Montana State college
remarked recently, this means that the third
settler on the project succeeded because he
was subsidized by the money, toll, and
heartaches of the two settlers who preceded
him"
Fortunately this type of horse-and- buggy
thinking about western reclamation de
velopment IS rapidly passing out Of the
picture. The old generation type Of
farm development was bad enough in the
days when the cash outlay necessary to
start farming enterprise was compare
lively small. It is completely impractical
today in view of the capital investment that
is required for modern farming equipment
and the costs of operation.
The comparatively satisfactory progress
made by farmers on some of the new prof
ects where arrangements for clearing, level
ing and ditching were coupled with the
original development program should con-
vince any remaining doubters that the old
method is as outmoded as the Model-T.
Even with the land ready for cultivation,
the settler on new irrigated farm will
encounter plenty of problems to enable him
to develop his pioneer spirit to the full.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-11-15

HNHERE are few men in places of respon-
= sibility in the field of irrigation de-
velopment who still cling to the idea that
after the engineers bring water to the edge
of the unimproved Individual farming unit
it is the proper responsibility of the new
settler to carry on from there.
The pioneer irrigation farmers of 40 or
so years ago cleared off the sage brush,
1eveled the land a few acres at time over
a period of years, and constructed the
bitches necessary to carry the water to the
fields The early settlers described the rec
1amation policy of those years as one of
bringing the water to the farm and then
daring the farmer to try to make it run
over the land"
At a reclamation meeting at Great Falls
a few years ago one. of the leading irrigation
engineers, now retired, contended that this
policy was still sound, declaring that it
'he1ped the farmers develop their pioneer
spirit
Yet this same skilled builder would have.
thought it silly if someone had suggested
that he should develop his own pioneer
spirit by using a horse and buggy instead
of modern motor car And he would have
been equally contemptuous if he were urged
to abandon the modern mechanical equip
ment used in building dams and reservoirs
and revert to the kind of tools. that were
available a half century ago.

The highest present average applica-
ton of superphosphate is on fruits and nuts
"a pounds per acre); sugar beets 40, f1axseed
40 and potatoes "a. Heaviest average applica-
ton of nitrates are now made on fruits, nuts
and vegetables (56 pounds per acre); cotton
so, sugar beets and f1axseed 43, potatoes 81,
rice 81 and seed and speciality crops y.
Average application on 14500,000 acres
of wheat is only one pound of nitrates and
less than pound of phosphate. Pasture and
cover crops on 100000 acres averaged 5
pounds of nitrates and pounds of phos-
pilates per acre, although scientists estimate
that an eight-fold increase in nitrates would
raise pasture yields by 81 percent.
Soil specialists in Montana and northern
Wyoming agree that more profitable yields
on irrigated land could be secured through
more extensive use of fertilizers, including
manure Many Individual farmers have
proved this to their own satisfaction and
as these practical demonstrations increase
in number heavier applications of fertilizer
will come into more general use.
While many of our dryland soils are
rich in minerals as compared with other
regions, instances of increased yields and
profits from the use Of commercial ferti-
izers on such land have become more nu-
merous in recent years. A few dryland grain
growers now make regular use Of phos-
pilates, and in some instances of nitrates,
and there is reason to believe that this
practice will be more general as the soils
that respond to such applications become
identified
While the potential supply Of nitrogen
is virtually unlimited because of its prev
alence in the atmosphere, phosphates are

FertiIization-And Food Supply

NINTH most of the available land suitable
w for cultivation already in crop, any
substantial increase in production in the
United States in future years will have to
come largely from improved farming meth
DDS and the more extensive use of fertilizers
Even if all possibilities for new irrigation
development are utilized the increase in
cultivated acreage will be comparatively
small when considered as a percentage Of
the total acreage of land now under the
pillow. And this addition will be offset to
a considerable degree when the marginal
land that has been planted to crops during
the past decade of abnormally favorable
growing conditions is returned to the range.
There is still an opportunity for enlarged
production through the more extensive use
of weed chemicals, improved varieties of
seed, and better tillage practices but most
of the agronomists and other soil scientists
greater output Of food and fiber for
Americas rapidly growing population lies
in the increased use of fertilizers.
Some scientists believe that western
farmers in many instances are getting less
than half the potential yields on present
paintings of wheat, hay and other crops. A
recent survey of the influence of nitrate
and phosphate fertilizers on the yields of
10 crops planted on nearly 100000 acres
in the II western states indicates that in
creased use of such fertilizers would boost
hay yields nearly 100000 tons, equivalent
to 100000 acres under present practices;
wheat yields As, 900 bushels, or 100000
acres, and corn yields 10 bushels an acre
or a total Of nearly 100000 additional
bushels.
