were raised on farms.
Why did they leave the farm?
For the same reasons that boys
do today-lack of interest in or
aptitude for farming or lack of
opportunity on the farm.
have read the story by Mr..
Allen in this issue of Montana
Farmer Stockman. 1t is a very
fair reporting of the problem.
But what of the implication that
experience in the service leaves
the boys ''too restless to want
to come back and settle down on
the farm.
All of the farms mentioned are
truly family type farms and, as
such, small. One is mentioned
in which three boys were called
to service. One returned but did
not stay. The question is, could
he or should he? We must re-
member that for all three boys to
stay on this family farm" it
would have to become a four
family farm. How many of these
farms really offer full opportunity
for more than one family?

Is Selective Service Diverting
Our Youth From the Farm?


SELECTIVE SERVICE inevi-

Farming is no exception. But

service is now major factor in
diverting our youth from the

have been in selective service
as a member of a board since its
inception in 1910. Being farmer
and a firm believer in the family
type farm, I have had an oppor-
tunity and have made it a point
to talk with many hundreds of
boys on this major selective serv-
ice problem.
First, let's admit that keeping
the boys down on the farm has
always been a problem. If we
go back just 80 or so years, before
there was any selective service,
we recall that boys were leaving
the farms in greater numbers
even than today. Now the boys
of that time are in their SOS and
COS. Many are the leaders of
industries and professions. All

More Income, Less Work, Less Erosion
Are Some Of Adpantages Claimed for
Summerfallowing Only
Every Third Season
By BILL STELLMON

mer work load and more timely
and efficient summerfallow-thes
are some of the advantages claimed
by j. Burton Long and other Chou
teau county farmers for their
method of dryland cropping.
These farmers haven't done away
with summerfallow, but they have
cut it down. They summerfallow
every third year instead of every
second, and thereby crop thirds
instead of half of their acreage each
year.
On Longs 600-acre farm, for ex-
ample, the rotation is winter wheat
followed by barley or other stub
bled-in spring crop, by summer
fallow and by winter wheat again.
Each fall Long seeds 200 acres of
winter wheat in fallow; each spring
he plants about 200 acres of barley
in stubble ground; each summer he
tills the remaining 200 acres.
And he's made money by it,
though addition to income wasn't
the only reason he switched from
standard cropping to his present
system six years ago.
More Machinery or Less Acreage
"For several years." he says, I'D
wondered if leaving the ground
horo Ia1f +Ia +i,,oo xxrae 4l,o ,;cb4
thing to do. Bare ground means
erosion. And" he recalls, year
after year I'd seen some of my
summerfallow need attention that
I couldn't give it at the right time.
That meant either that I needed
more machinery or less acreage in
summerfallow.
"Most important, though, won
dered if the land was earning what
it safely could earn. I asked N.Y.
self if the benefits of standard
summerfallow were worth their
cost-and I felt they weren't"
So Long reduced his summer
fallow program in 1947 by planting
about 70 acres of barley, which he
finds is his best spring crop, in
winter wheat stubble worked once
with duckfoot. Each year since,
he has stubbled in as close to 200
acres as he can manage.
The system has paid off in exper-
fence as well as increased income.
For instance, that first year showed
Long that he had to give the stubble
ground better preparation, since he
got little more than seed back.
Ground Worked in Fall
Now he duckfoots the wheat
stubble once in the fall in order to
make spring work easier. Then,
in the spring, as soon as the ground
is dry enough, he gets in the field
and works it two or three times
before seeding. For this he uses a
one-way or disc followed by duck
| foot-harrow operation.
st hate to take longer than a week
from the start of spring work until
the ground is drilled" Long says.
"And if anything but rain slows up
that work generally cut down on
the acreage I had intended to seed,
rather than get the crop in too late"
Winter wheat planted on the
Long place these last six years has
yielded about the same as other
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1952-12-01

increased nor decreased noticeably
with the change in cropping system.
Thus, the 200 acres he plants each
year produce about two-thirds of
the wheat he would receive by
planting 800 acres under normal
crop-fallow system, Long estimates.
Extra Barley Crop
But the stubbled-in barley crop
has more than made up for the
lower wheat production. Over the
six years, his barley has averaged
better than 40 bushels per acre; in
two of the six years, the barley
ground produced more income per
acre than Longs winter wheat.
Moreover, his higher total income
has been made with lower total
costs, Long says. Except for the
spring planting period, Long has a
third less tillage than he would
have under the alternate crop
fallow system. The lighter work
load means less time and money
spent summer-fallowing- per-
haps more important, means more
timely summerfallow operations and
therefore more efficient work.
Long feels the system also offers
a kind of insurance. If it's a poor
year for winter wheat, he has the
spring crop to fall back on, he
points out. Besides, in his winter
wheat area, adding another crop
means a more flexible farm oper-
alton, one better able to meet shifts
in demand through the years.
Weeds haven't been a problem so
far, Long says. The twice-over
spring operation before seeding the
stubble, plus one application of 2,
4-D on the growing crop, keeps the
stubble ground relatively weed
free. And summerfallowing every
third year helps keep narrow-leaved
weeds under control.
Moisture Controlling Factor
Nor has moisture limited spring
planting. Longs ranch has aver
aged about IA inches of rainfall in
each of the II years he's been on
it and, he says, $50 far I've always
had enough rainfall to bring the
crop up even though the stubble
was dry at first. Even in years
when I've had too much stubble
I've been able to burn the heavy
patches since I knew there was
plenty of moisture to bring the crop
up"
But Long acknowledges that
moisture is the limiting factor in
his system and that it's the principal
reason why he summerfallows his
ground at all. 'In dry year." he
says, ct know that summerfallow is
the thing to do. Suppose have to
summerfallow field where a stub
bled-in crop didn't make a stand.
Then I'm just asking for my ground
to blow away.
eff you have the moisture, though,
I think it's good bet to stubble in
a crop and cut down on summer
fallow acreage. But" Long says,
'Tm convinced that Mother Nature
has a whole lot more to do with
the success of farming than any
system man can work out, and il
will take more than six years to
make me sure I'm doing the right

perience in trying vainly several
times to appear in court against
a woman shoplfiter, a known mar

IF it wasn't one thing, it was
another" he said. "The first time
the case was delayed because the
defendant in the action refused a
court-appointed attorney and de-
manded a lawyer of her own
choosing. When the hearing came
up a second time, the defendant
demanded jury trial.

I learned the defendants lawyer
had won a continuance because
his wife was sick.
Nov. I ask you, what do we
have to do to get a trial going in
