Weed Control, Double Fallow
For Diverted Wheat Acres

Soils and Crops
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

crop of record in Montana is har-
vested farmers should sit back and
relax for a few moments 1t was a
strenuous year from the standpoint
of threatened drouth, floods, hail,
rust and insects. Damage resulted
but fortunately it was not too severe.
1t was necessary in northern and
eastern M tana to pile many
thousand of bushels on the ground
until storage facilities are available.
Needless to say, this should be
placed under cover" as rapidly as
possible. In the meantime protect
the piled grain to the best of your
ability. Keep livestock and fowl
away from the area and cover with
tarps in event of rain or snow.
Trench around the piles to prevent
accumulation of moisture at the
base of the pile. One dollar and
eighty cent wheat is worth protect
ing.
Diverted Acres
Acreage restriction on wheat in
1854 is causing the wheat producer
much concern. The question is,
what best use can be made of the
acres that must be diverted from
wheat? Many alternatives will be
discussed at home, on main street,
at meetings, in the newspapers and
magazines before next spring. The
decision you make will be an i'm
portant one. This adjustment, even
in event of short duration, may
disrupt farm operations, production
and individual family income.
Weed Control
The buildup of certain perennial
weeds in the dryland areas of Mon
tana has been apparent in recent
years. Experience has shown that
successful chemical control of an
nuals in growing crops has had little
or no effect on the perennials. Con-
sequently, infestations have spread
l
at the expense of the cash crop.
Maximum production is impor-
tant on your allotted acres in 1854.
Marketing quotas have also been
imposed but you are further ahead
to have 500 bushels in excess of
your quota than to fall that much
short. Consequently, seed only your
cleanest land to wheat and wage
war on fields with perennial weed
infestations. Perennial infestations
within a seed field may be put
under control, provided the area is
not seeded to wheat or allowed to
grow.
Tillage still remains one of the
most effective and efficient methods
of controlling large infestations Of
perennial weeds. On dryland g
combination of 2,4-D and tillage has
been successful in many cases. AL
operations must be properly timed
for maximum results. The first yeal
of a control program will require
that one early cultivation be per.
formed to control grassy weec
growth such as wild oats, cheat anc
pigeon grass.
Second Application
The second operation with 2,4-r
at a rate of to 2 pounds Il to
quarts of 2,4-D parent acid pei
acre should be applied before the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-10-01

not be cultivated for at least one
month. Then, if regrowth occurs
spraying may be repeated or Guilt
walton continued for the remainder
of the season. A duckfoot, sweep
or blade type implement is the most
satisfactory tillage tool.
During the second year of con-
troll program the area may be seeded
to grain crop Gall or spring. and
treated with 2,4-D at a selective
rate. Follow up with 2,4-D at a
rate of l to 2 pounds acid per acre
after harvest or by cultivation.
Another alternative for the second
year would be to repeat the first
years operation with no crop being
produced.
For the third year of a control
program repeat the first years oper-
alton. The fourth year may be
the same as that for the second year.
Double Summerfallow
Under an alternate wheat-fallow
program some farmers will have an
excess of fallow over and above
allotted wheat acreage. Double sum-
merfallow will be carried out on a
portion of this acreage. The ques-
ton comes up as to how sound this
practice may be. Unfortunately no
one knows definitely the benefits
that can be expected. However, on
the basis of data from dry1and ex-
pertinent stations at Huntley and
Havre, where l and Swear fallow
comparisons were made with spring
wheat, double-fallow program ap-
pears to be economically feasible
at present price levels for wheat.
The data presented cover a 14-year
period-1935-1948
l-Year fallow 3-year fallow
Havre 1876 bu. 21.9 bu.
Huntley ia bu. 800 bu.
Where wind and water erosion
may present a hazard double
fallow program can be detrimental.
Cultivation and weathering of fall
low causes destruction of a cloddy
mulch. A stubble-mulch is almost
entirely destroyed over an extended
fallow period resulting in little or
no wind or water erosion protec-
ton. The number of civilizations
should be kept to a minimum and
accomplished only at the shallower
depths to control weed growth.
Chemical control of broadleaved
weeds may well supplement cultiva-
ton. The erosion hazard that may
result under this system should be
studied and perhaps strips narrowed
down to point of absolute protec-
ton.
One major drawback of this sys-
tenn is the chance that the second
year fallow operation may take
place during most favorable grow.
ing season. This would result in {
reduction in total production, espec.
tally if the crop year fell during
an unfavorable growing season. It:
gamble and many a drylanc
farmer has been doing just that fol
a good many years.
Weed control and double summer
fallow are two possible alternative
