Truck Valuable
In Elmer gencies

AN EMERGENCY truck that
rushes to irrigation canal breaks
like fire truck to a fire has been
found successful by the Twin Falls.
Ida, Canal company. The truck.
designed to make speedy repairs
and prevent potential damage to
canals, last summer enabled the
company to plug a 20-foot hole in a
main canal carrying 5000 cubic feet
of water per second within two
hours after the break occurred.
According to Reclamation Era.
Bureau of Reclamation publication,
the truck assisted in preventing in
estimable damage by checking this
and other breaks last season.
The emergency vehicle is equipped
with a variety of repair equip
ment. Key item is collection of
3l16-inch steel sheet piling in 4, 5
and 10-foot lengths. The sheets are
IA inches wide with interlocking
edges, and are sunk one at a time
directly across the break to form a
cofferdam which permits easy per-
manent filling.
Other equipment includes heavy
hammers and weight for driving the
sheets into place, rolls of canvas
sheeting, bales of burIap bags for
bank sealers, chains and hooks and
miscellany such as picks, shovels,
hammer and a number of 3x12
timbers used to form an emergency
walkway across escaping water.
The truck is kept always ready
to move whenever a break is re-
ported on any part of the company's
202,000-acre tract. Speed is the key
to effective handling of canal breaks,
company officials point out, and
speed is what the Idaho company
now has.

Loan Request
Approved

APPROVAL OF a $395,000 loan
to the Lincoln Electric Cooperative,
Eureka, has been granted by the
Rural Identification administration.
The loan will be used to finance
construction of 81 miles of distribu-
ton line to serve 70 additional rural
consumers in the temperatures area.
Part will be used in system improve
ments and part to acquire, rehabi-
litate and integrate the Tobacco
River Power company, which now
serves the town of Eureka, into the
co-operative's system.

nual broadleaved weeds. However.
in several areas of the country, good
grass weed control is being obtained
by the use of TEA and IPC. TEA
is apparently doing a good job of
controlling pigeon grass in sugar
beets in the midwest. IPC is being
used for the control of wild oats and
several other weedy annual grasses
in a number of crops on the west
coast.
In research work conducted to
date by the Montana Agricultural
Experiment station, both IPC and
Tea have shown considerable
promise but results have not been
consistently good enough to war
rant their use under prevailing eli
matte conditions. Observed field
scale applications have behaved in
the same manner. The probable
reason for these chemicals not
working as well under Montana eli
matte conditions as in other areas
is that they have to be absorbed by
roots to give control. In Montana.
the rainfall received is often insult
ficient TO move the chemical into
the soil so that it can be absorbed.
When the chemical is on the soil
surface, it will not give control.
Mixing the chemical into the soil
by thorough discing just before
planting is recently advanced idea
which may prove to be the way to
get around the lack of rainfall.
However, on the basis of one years
results, it is impossible to say that
this procedure will help enough to
give good control in worthwhile
percentage of the cases.
In summary, it will be seen that
methods for the control of grass
weeds leave much to be desired and
that considerable work is necessary
If measurable progress in their
control is to be made within the
next few years.

Weed Control

SOME OF Montana's grasses are
weeds. They are few in comparison
to the many desirable grasses, in
Guiding grains, which are the basis
of large part of Montana's agri-
cultural income, but the weedy
members of the grass family make
themselves very prominent by their
noXious habits.
The most serious of these grass
weeds are wild oats, cheatgrass,
pigeon grass and quackgrass. Barn
yard grass, switchgrass, sandbur,
goatgrass and foxtail barley are also
serious in smaller areas throughout
the state.
The control of most grass weeds
by presently known methods is
often difficult. A large amount of
detailed research work is needed in
order to develop effective control
methods.
Complaining Factors
It is generally known that re-
search on grass weed control has not
advanced as far as that on other
kinds of weeds and there are several
reasons why this is true.
l. Chemicals for grass weed con-
troll in crops either have not been
developed or, in the few cases where
chemical control is possible, fool
proof methods for their use under
Montana's semi-arid conditions have
not been found.
2. Chemicals which will kill grass
weeds in a grass crop Gncluding
small grains and corn) are difficult
to find because of the many similar
tiles between the weeds and crops.
8. Because a large part of Mon
tana's cropland is best adapted to
the production of grass crops, in
Guiding cereal grains, the production
of a nongrass crop for grass weed
control will often result in reduced
profits.
4. The culture of small grains cor
responds very closely to the needs
of some grass weeds so that these
grass weeds do well in grain crops.
5. The length of the weedy grass
seed life in the soil-with the ex-
ception of cheatgrass, is several
years.
6. Quackgrass has the ability to
spread rapidly by rhizomes and
these rhizomes cannot be killed by
normal cultivation in connection
with crop production.
Life History
To obtain control on the basis of
these conditions, it is necessary that
the life history of the plant be
known and that it be attacked at a

Weed Control
Research Needed on Control
OF Noxious Grass Weeds
By ROBERT L. WARDEN
Extension Weed Control Specialist

time when the weed is vulnerable
and when control will interfere the
least with the best use of the land.
A lot more must be learned about
possible methods of control, such as
a means of terminating all the seed.
In the soil at one time so that they
can be killed by cultivation or a
chemical or by killing the seeds out
right. The experimental herbicides
which continue to appear must be
tested thoroughly to determine their
possible uses for the control of
weedy grasses.
Methods for the control of grass
weeds do exist but, for the most
part, they are not as effective, cheap
or as easy to use as is desired. If a
method of control is to be widely
accepted, it needs to be something
which farm or ranch operator can
use without upsetting his normal
operation to the extent where in
come is seriously reduced and some
thing which can be done cheaply
enough so that the cost of the oper-
alton will be paid out of increased
income within a period of several
years.
Low Cost Control
The use of 2,4-D on broadleayed
weeds in small grains is an example
where effective control has been OBJ
tanned at a low cost with a result
ant profit the year of application.
When an effective method for the
chemical control of grass weeds
becomes as practical and effective
as 2,4-D for controlling some broad
leaved weeds, then the control of
grass weeds will be a much more
disable tool to assist in lowering the
production costs of crops and in
creasing yields and profits.
Although present methods of
control for grass weeds are not as
good as they should be, some may
be used that are at least partially
effective. There are as follows:
1. Keep them off the land in the
first place. To do this, use clean
seed and feed and keep ditch banks
and fence rows free of the weed.
Most grass weed seed will float and
accordingly clean bitches are the
only method of keeping seed out of
irrigation water. A desirable
perennial grass on the ditch bank
will keep most of the weedy grasses
out.
2. Control infestations while they
are small or scattered A few wild
oat plants in a field can be pulled
and carried out of the field before
the seed scatters. A small patch
of quackgrass can be controlled
cheaply and easily with TEA.
3. A perennial crop such as alfalfa
or pasture will control most annual
grasses at least until the perennial
crop is plowed out. An exception
to this is the ability of cheatgrass to
infest dryland alfalfa. Quackgrass
is a perennial and is not controlled
adequately by perennial crops. Con.
troll by cultivation seems to be the
best answer for extensive infesta
tons of quackgrass.
