sprinkIing System
Makes Berry Crop
By Ed LINE
FIafbead Coanfr

WE HAD NEVER grown straw
berries but it looked as though they
should do well, as our land was full
of wild ones where the stumps were
not too thick.
We set 1000 plants in the spring
of 1899 and, as our experience has in
creased with the years, we have gone
to strawberries almost exclusively.
In the early years we did not get
much per acre. Then we set on we'll.
made ridges and mulched with saw
dust instead of straw. Our berries
seemed to grow and produce much
better.
Then it was the same old story
lack of moisture. July and August
are usually dry months and to get
full production we had to have rain.
The life blood of the berries was
flowing on our farm in the White
fish river. We visited the FSA Of
flee in KalispeH and had a talk with
Russell Marsh. the supervisor then,
about irrigation.
The following summer we set up
our sprinkler system. We have ir-
rigated for four years and we GER
tainly think it is a good investment.
We have a 6-inch main line with
4-inch sprinklers. We can make it
rain, where and as much. as we
want We don't get the land water
logged in places and dry in places.
The water is evenly placed over the
field

We Find Bindweed
Can Be Controlled
By E. E. SCHELSKE
Big Horn Conntr

FROM MY EXPERIENCE firmly
believe that morning glory or bind
weed is comfortable if surrounding
territory is not infested with them so
that the seed will be carried into
your fields by wind and water.
We have obtained good kill by
spraying with about two pounds Of
actual 2,4-D acid per acre after the
bindweed had emerged or mostly
all come out of the ground, or in.
other words when they start to bloom
well. This is mostly in June. Then
we give another application in the
latter part of August for those which
come up later or have been missed.
Where grain was planted to the
infested area or field in the spring
we sprayed the grain with solution
Of 11z pints to / quart Of 2,4-D when
the grain is to inches high. If
sprayed later it may set the grain
back considerably. This application
will kill most of the morning glory
and those that it doesn't kill it will
set back enough that they won't 60
to seed.
Then as soon as the grain crop is
harvested, spray with a two-pound
or two-quart solution in the stubble
and we have received a good xii
from such method.

them was my good fortune in being
affiliated with Mr.. Brewster, and it
was his tractors and other heavy
equipment that made it possible for
me to clear this land and prepare the
proper seed bed that resulted in the
stand of alfalfa that we obtained.
Another big factor was the help and
advice that we received from our
local agent, Harley Roath, the Mon
tana extension service and Mr.. Ralph
Mercer. This advice we certainly
appreciated and carried out to the
best of our ability.

Pastures Provide
Grazing Plus Hay
By ERWIN MOSER
Lincoln COnnts, Wyoning

THE OLDEST of our three irri-
gated pastures is now in its fifth
year. All are on land that took much
leveling to get them. into shape, but
the leveling and careful placing of
bitches paid out in reducing the work
and time needed for irrigating. All
pastures are watered every IL days.
The bitches on the first pasture Of
Az acres are laid out across the slope
so that the water from the top ditch
runs down to a second ditch and is
picked up to be spread below.
The mixture used in this pasture
includes tx pounds of smooth bronze
grass, 71k pounds of orchard grass,
pounds of timothy and pounds of
white Dutch clover. The first year
we did nothing with the field, .but in
the second year we put in head
of stock Zone COW and three yearling
heifers) from June to September and
then cut tons of hay. Last year,
the fourth year, the pasture carried
5 heifers from June to November, 10
cows at night from June to Sept.
is and horses for 3 months.
We have applied barnyard manure
and SO pounds Of superphosphate per
acre every three years.
Another pasture of 2 acres was
planted in 1949 to 10 pounds Of white
Dutch clover and Is pounds of straw
berry clover. The first year we did
nothing with it-almost gave it up
as being nothing but what it looked
like, a perfect stand Of fan weed, but
last year we pastured it with 81 little
pigs plus IA brood sows from July to
October.
The third pasture Of 80 acres was
planted just last year on gravelly
bench land that took extensive level
ing. We took seven stacks of hay
off the 80 acres last fall.

Moved IN july

The middle of July the entire acre
age was moved, with the exception
of five acres. BY moving we hoped
to keep what weeds there were from
going to seed. The five acres we did
not NOW we kept for an experiment.
We gave it the same cultivation that
the rest of the field received, plus
a hand hoeing to get what few weeds
there were in the rows.
This five acres was planted on
May %, and was no better or worse
than the balance of the acreage. We
cut this about the 10th of September
with a windrower. It was hand
shocked and combined out of the
shock and gave 1873 pounds of clean
seed. Not crop to crow about, but
one has to have a really good growth
to give any seed at all the first year,
and we are very well satisfied with
the stand as it is today. In our opin-
ion, the reason for the good stand we
obtained was due mainly to the
really good seed bed we were able
to obtain.
Preparation Counts
In ALL and not including the doz-
ing or clearing of this land, we went
over the 1876 acres IL times before we
started planting. This included plow-
ing, discing, narrowing and floating.
In my opinion, it does not pay to use
the shot gun method Of farming.
Have your seed bed in as good con-
dition as possible, plant good seed,
use your cultivator and you are
mighty apt to raise crop now and
then.
Our success to date on this ventur.
is due to several reasons among

Farm and Ranch Experiences
Ne Concerted I05 Acres From s.
Sagebrush to Alfalfa
By JAMES T. MURPHY Rosebud County,
By JAMES q. MURPHY, Rosebad conntr

but | have been very successful in
obtaining really good stand Of Ger
titled Ranger alfalfa on 1875 acres of
virgin sage brush land along the
Tongue river in Rosebud county on
the ranch holdings of the x Diamond
Bar Cattle Co., owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Lyman Brewster, who are CO.
partners with me.
On July Z, 1949, we started clear
ing this land by having one tractor
push over cottonwood trees, and they
were considerable. On another trac-
tor we put 1O-foot subsurface tiller
blade and set it to run about 2 to 3
inches under the surface, clearing
sage brush. But on the second day
we had to give up on the blade, as
it was so dry that year that we could
not get it to go into the ground.
42-Day Clearing Job
So on July 10, the two tractors
with dozers went to doing sage
brush, trees, chokecherries, etc.
Nearly all of it had to be dozed "
mile and some as much as " In
order to clean the field, but in about
AZ working days we had the ground
cleared and ready for blowing.
All this land was disced twice with
two-way disc behind which pulled
an Australian harrow. It was plowed
with a 5-bottom mold board plow
inches deep and disced twice more
after blowing with a two-way disc
and harrow. We finished the last
time on Dec. Z, and that night it
froze up.
About April 10 we started float
ing. All of this land was floated three
times and about half of it four times,
and when the float left too smooth a
top surface, we sent a harrow over it
to leave firm, we1I-packed, cloddy
mulch, not too large clods, about the
size of walnuts, if possible. This
eliminated the danger of surface
crusting in case Of snow or rain. Al
falfa seedlings are quite delicate and
cannot penetrate much crust.
On April II we started planting.
We took the cultivator shoes and
arms off two-row front mounted
cu1tivator and with welding torch
cut an iron bar to fit across the beams
Of each cultivator gang and hung .
vegetable planter on each bar, thus
making two-row planter.
Seeded Too Much
The planter can be moved on The
bar to regulate the width Of the rows
We spaced ours to plant 42-incf
rows, and by using the smallest holt
in the smallest plate, it seeded a
the rate of 1k-pound per acre, which
in our case proved to be twice to,
much. We also treated our seed be
fore planting. Whether we received
any benefit from this, don't know
but we do know we got a perfec
stand, except that it is too thicl
and will have to be thinned out thi
spring by cross cultivation. Cros
cultivating will give us rows A
inches each way, and that is what W
are striving for.
Due to the snow that came on tn
weekend of April %, and the rain
weather for the first part of May, W
did not complete our planting unit

Guard To Start
Outdoor Drills
Receives Authority to Hold II
Drills In Next Two Months

The Delaware National Guard to-
day announced that it has received
authority from the National Guard
Bureau in Washington, D. C., to
conduct 12 outdoor drills during
the next two months in addition TO
the regular weekly night drills.
The special session will be con-
Quoted on a basis of four hours for
each one. Guardsmen will be paid
on a regular drill basis.
The drills will stress specialized
training, motor operation and
maintenance, mess, supply, indivi-
dual and group operation weapons,
and administration.
Schedule Is Announced
A tentative schedule, announced
by 1t. Col. Warren E. Perry, 261st
AAA Brigade operations officer,
calls fer drills for all units in the
state on Feb. 10 to II and Feb. II
to Is. The 156th Automatic -Weap-
Ons Battalion Wilmington; the
945th Automatic Weapons Battal-
ion, Georgetown and the 193rd
Gun Battalion, Dover will conduct
problems March 10 to IL and the
160th Group, Dover, and the 19Sth
Group, Wilmington, will conduct
field training March II to 49,.
Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Joseph J.
Scannell, adjutant general, has an
nounced that all transfers of Guasd
personnel to active duty with the
armed forces has been banned by
an order from the national bureau
received here yesterday.
The general made the announce
ment in a talk at the Wilmington
Sertoma Club meeting in the Hob
Tea Room last night.
Want Fuiiy.Staffed Units
The order is based, he said on the
desire of the National Guard Of
ficials to turn out fully stated
units. During the past four years,
a considerable number of men have
left the Guard ranks for full time
service.
The order also recognizes the
shortage of recruitment potential,
due to the current draft. The Guard
is "up against it" he said, because
there is no one to recruit.

old information, he said adding
that none Of the communities sur
veyed in the price study are within
800 miles Of Delaware"
Saying he concurred in Senator
klair's questioning, Senator BEN
ger declared that "the facts in this
letter seems distorted in compare
son with the present times.D
Returning to the discussion, SEN
ator Klair said he considered the
move for triangular shaped oleo an
insult to the public's intelligence. .
Recalling that his bill would re-
quire oleo packages to be offered
for sale with a plaeard bearing
oleO-margarine in letters at least
an iEeh high, Senator Klair asked:
What are our schools for I'M
Delaware if not to teach reading?"
Later, Senator Barnard told his
colleagues that it is Common
knowledge yellow oleo is being
sold in Delaware -palmed OF as
butter"
Replying to that assertion, Sena-
tor Steen said he knew of cases
where it was being sold, but mot
one instance of where it is being
sold as butter If I did, would re-
port it"
When Senator Klair raised the
point that there are enough federal
laws to cover oleo sales, Senator
Cubbage entered the discussion.
"As understand the amead-
ment,p said Senator Cubbage, ''the
contents of an oleo package will be
in four triangular parts. Such an
arrangement would remove the
necessity of policing eating places
to enfore the oleo law; with tri-
angular parts, everyone would be
his own policeman. consider the
amendment reasonable"
TriangleS Called NAsinine0
At this point, Senator, Cannon
asked if the amendment means
colored margarine in eating places
would be in triangular pads. Told
that it would, the senator remark
ed:
That's the most asinine thing
I've ever heard of"
AS the debate drew to a close,
Senator Barnard criticized the
"Oleo trust for initiating butter"
"The day we pass legislation per-
mitting the sale of yellow oleo will
be the day we take away from the
poor families of this state a cheap
substitute for butter," he declared.
"And at the same time we will
have liQuidated one-quarter Of the
dairy industry in this state. The
dairy industry has a moral right
to protect its common law trade
mark"
The vote on the amendment fol-
lowed.
