Source of Friction
In FACT, many working couples
who find themselves facing a
breakup of their marriages are
surprised to learn that this ar
chaic conception of masculinity
is at the root of their difficulties.
In one such family" said one
of these social scientists, lit took
me four months to dig through
the mass complaints, minor irri-
tations and family squabbles to
get at the root of the trouble.
Neither husband nor wife had
any idea what the source of fric-
ton was. ShOrn of it's surface
camouflage, it all stemmed
from hurt masculine pride.
The husband felt cheap
ashamed that he couldn't pro-
vide for his family. Everything
about his wife's job, and eventu-
ally his wife, annoyed him."
If the necessity to work solved
these problems, relatively few
women would have to worry
about the right man" But only
five per cent of all working wives
do so through choice; the rest
must work to supplement the
husbands income. Naturally it
behooves them, even more than ,

Flatbead County Producers Can
Dig 10 Acres a Day With 2-Ro1O
Potato Harvester
By BILL STELLMON Roping Reporter

THE HOMEMADE, two-row po-
tato harvester shown in pictures on
this page has been one of the bright
spots of this falls potato harvest for
A H Small & Sons, Flathead County
farmers.
The digger, built by son Milt Small
and used for the first time this year,
has more than replaced two one-row
machines. Using less man and tractor
power, the two-row digger h
turned out more potatoes under COM
parable field and yield conditions
than pair of one-row machines did
last year, and the potatoes them
selves are cleaner.
The reason, the Smalls say, lies
in the digger's dirt-removing fea-
tures-mechanical features which re-
place much of the Manipulating of
the one-row machines and at the
same time permit faster field speed.
Keeps Trucks Going
Truck drivers vouch for this, be-
cause it keeps four of them humping
to roll their to 8-ton loads over
some eight miles of highway to the
Smalls' warehouse, unload and re-
turn in time to keep the potato dig
ger going. Output, under average
conditions, has been about % tons
an hour-and 10 acres of harvested
potatoes day.
No one can say this two-row ma
chine is the ultimate in potato har-
vesting equipment, but Milt Small
is sure of this: Its practical po-
tato digger" In building it, he in
corporated the best features of other
diggers with many of his own ideas,
including some tried out previously
on first, small sacking machines and
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-11-15

then the one-row bulk-handling dig
gers that the Smalls used until this
year.
And, where the one-row diggers
cut potato harvest work by a third
or more over the sacking machines,
so has the two-row digger made har-
vest even more economical in both
time and labor.
Potatoes have been major BUSH
ness for the Smalls ever since A. H.
Small began growing them 35 years
ago in the Flathead. They grow
around $50 acres of their own each
year and are active in contracting
acreage as we'll.
Using foundation certified seed,
they plant their potatoes about May
10 each year on land that's been out
of potatoes at least three seasons.
Small grains are included in their
rotation plan, with green manure
sweet clover crop preceding potatoes
in each field.
Besides the green manure crop,
they fertilize with 100 pounds of
phosphate in the fall before planting
potatoes and another 200 pounds of
$500 at time of planting. Then, with
their first irrigation, they put 20
pounds of available nitrogen through
the sprinkler system with the water.
From digger to their 1,000-ton po-
tato warehouse, the Smalls' potatoes
are handled in bulk, a system which
they've found means fewer bruises
and quicker work than sacking. Once
in the warehouse, the potatoes are
left until spring and then sorted,
washed and sacked for marketing.
Son Harold Small has charge of
warehouse operations.
