Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

In the seven District Rural
Progress conferences held last
winter under the guidance of
the Montana Extension service.
farm and ranch people in the
state expressed themselves on
the things they believe must be
done if Montana's agricultural
advancement is TO continue.
While many new avenues of
research were suggested in the
conference reports. ii is signifi-
cant that several committees
recognized the need for wider
application of known good
farming and homemaking prac-
tees.
One agricultural res URGE
committee summed this up
rather neatly in these words:
In spite of the substantial pro-
gress made in farming and
ranching efficiency in the past
quarter century. there is still
wide gap between known good
practices and their application
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

prove soil structure and those with
extensive root systems improve the
porosity of the subsoil as well as
the surface soil. They also get all
or part of their nitrogen from the
air and in many cases leave nitro
gen residue for other crops that
follow.
Legumes in rotation may also be
turned under as green manure
Legumes, principally alfalfa, are
the chief source of animal feed and
manure. However,, the growth of
''legumes only" will not prevent soil
depletion since they are heavy users
of phosphorus and other plant nutri-
ents.
Small grains are intermediate in
their soil requirements and under
irrigation serve in a capacity SIM
liar to legumes in reducing Excess
sive soil erosion caused by water.
Row Crops
Irrigation farmers should not
overlook the value of such row crops
as sugar beets, potatoes, corn and
beans when following legumes in
the rotation. They utilize a high
nitrogen level and since they are
cultivated crops they offer an OPP
portunity for weed control.
Of the row crops, sugar beets are
the most important in Montana since
they are readily marketed and are
more widely adapted to Montana
climatic conditions. Because of its
broad adaptation and the valuable
by-products produced, this crop is
especially useful in a rotation and
livestock feeding program.
In its maximum crop production
experiment" the, Huntley field sta
ton has learned a great deal abou
rotations and the results of thi

Fertilization

Depletion of soil fertility is a fac
tor to be reckoned with in Mon
tana's irrigated agriculture. How
ever, there is no answer to the prob
lem and it must be approached from
the standpoint of one or more basic
principles which have proven APP
plicable under most Montana con-
ditions.
Green manure crops fit into the
crop rotation program in that they
furnish organic matter to the soil,
increase succeeding crops and pro-
tect the soil from erosion and leach
ing. The leguminous crops are best
adapted for green manure purposes
since besides the benefits named
above they are capable of fixing
atmospheric nitrogen in the soil for
use by following crops.
Barnyard manure should be
looked upon as a supplement rather
than substitute for other sound
management practices. lntertlIled
crops and grass pastures generally
respond best to manure applications.
The irrigated sections of Montana
stand to benefit by the use of COM
mercial fertilizers used in conjunc-
ton with other sound management
practices. However, since recon-
mendations for their use are based
on pounds of plant nutrients to be
applied per acre, commercial fertil-
izers should be bought on the basis
of the amount and kinds of nutri-
ents they contain and the total re-
quirements of the individual oper-
ator. Consult your county extension
agent for specific recommendations
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

RURAL Progress committee on
irrigated agriculture called atten-
ton to a number of practices that
are essential to successful irrigation
farming and on which information
is available. Among these were the
following:
Best Use of Water
To keep irrigated lands producing
at full capacity, the application of
sound irrigation practices is neces-
sary If water and soil are to be
used effectively, the development
and preparation of land for irriga-
ton is most important. Where land
can be economically 1evelled to
desired grade, it should be done to
save soil, water and time during
irrigation.
Other desirable practices include
surface drainage for the removal of
excess water that accumulates in
low areas, installation of irrigation
systems and structures that give
maximum control of water, and the
employment of effective methods of
irrigation. The best method for a
given field will depend upon the
soil type, topography, crops and the
water supply.
Much helpful information on
these essentials will be found in the
following Montana Extension Serv-
ice publications: Bulletin 259, SIR
rigation;" Bulletin 100, Irrigation
Structures and Equipment" and
Circular M-220, Measuring Devices
for Irrigation Water" Technical
assistance and information is avail
able through the Soil Conservation
service. Other agencies offering
assistance in encouraging sound ir-
rigation practices include the Farm
ers Home Administration and the
Production and Marketing Admin
istration.
More Livestock
A livestock enterprise on the ir.
rigated farm tends to stabilize the
income over a long period of time
and provides barnyard manure tina
is so essential in maintaining sol
fertility.
The cheapest possible feed TO
livestock is good, well managed ir
rigated pastures. However, produc
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

tive pastures depend upon the pro-
per preparation of the land before
seeding and upon the type of mix
ture that is used in seeding.
Equally important is the manage
ment that the pasture receives after
it becomes established. Proper ir-
rigation, fertilizing and rotation
grazing are important in maintain
ing good pasture. For information
on pasture mixtures and manage
ment farmers are referred to Extern
sion Circular ZIG, Irrigated Pas
lures"
Successful production of livestock
on the irrigated farm is dependent
not only upon the quantity of feed
grown but also on its quality. In
the past few years the preservation
of forage crops in the form of silage
has been gaining in favor since
silage conserves higher percentage
of nutrients than cured forage. In
addition, silage can be put up in
weather that would be unfavorable
for hay making.
More Silage
Other factors that are encourag-
ing more farmers to make silage are
the field chopper and wider use of
the trench silo. Farmers interested
in putting up silage will find Exten-
sion Bulletin M-261, ''Silos and
Silage" useful guide.
For the irrigated farmer who is
interested in livestock fattening and
feeding, the following publications
are available: 'Fattening Lambs in
Montana" Montana Agricultural
Experiment Station Bulletin 433
and "Fattening Montana Cattle,
Extension Service Bulletin 203.
Most crops contribute something
to the soil in the way of organi'
residues and in the effect of th'
plant roots on soil structure. Whe,
crops are taken from the land tn
mineral nutrients. that are removes
tend to cause soil depletion. Ply
steal as well as chemical propertie
are affected differently by differen
crops, thus the practice of GRO
rotation can be used to take advar
tage of the beneficial or detriments
effects of Individual crops.
Legumes generally tend to in

the small farmer would have
to abandon the land he is now

About Federal Loans

runs the risk of later having to
pay all or part of the debt result
ing from a default by the new
owner.
Should the new owner of the
property fail to keep up the mort
gage payments, the holder of the
CT mortgage can foreclose.
When the proceeds of the sale
resulting from the foreclosure do
not cover the amount of the CT
loan outstanding, the difference
may remain a debt against the
veteran. The VA has to pay the
holder of the mortgage for the
guaranteed portion OF the debt.
The veteran will then owe the
Government the net amount of that
payment, plus interest.
In many areas throughout the
country, foreclosure may take
place without notice being given
directly to the original veteran
borrower (fOr example, foreclosure
by publicatiOn) even though the
veteran remains liable for the debt.
For this reason, the veteran is
urged to keep the holder of the CT
mortgage and the Veterans Admin
istratiOn advised of any change of
his address. He should also re-
quest the lender to notify him if
the new owner defaults.
VA, when notified of property
sales and of any change of ad-
dress, will inform the veteran
when it learns that the loan is in
serious default or in danger of
foreclosure. The veteran can then
contact the holder of the CT mort
gage and the owner of the proper
ty to protect his interest. In many
instances, the veteran might be
able to obtain title back from the
owner and either sell the proper
ty to cover the unpaid balance or
rent the property for enough to
Keep the loan current.
Under certain conditions. VA /
might agree to release of the vet
Grams liability and substitute the /
purchaser, who assumed the debt. /
without impairing the guaranty. I
This is done generally to cure or
avoid a default.
Veterans faced with the problem
of foreclosure on property thew
nave sold with the CT mortgage in |
effect can obtain assistance and !
advice from their nearest Veterans
Administration Regional Office.
