Savings Bonds Help
Cushion Bad Times

FARMERS AND RANCHERS are
constantly faced with some kind of
financial reverse. One year it may be
drought, another time your prize herd
of livestock might feed on some poison
GUS plant, or sickness might lay you
up for the summer. A late frost can
kill your cash crop. or an expensive
piece of machinery might disintegrate
the first day you use it.
Savings Bonds do three things: First,
they are means of saving and earn
ing money to help the purchaser out of
financial trouble. Second, they make
idle money available to the government
in its time of need, and third, they
demonstrate ones faith, confidence and
hope in the government.

Crested Wheatgrass Pasture
Doubles Carrying Capacity
By DAVID JAMES, income County

Der of years, and reports that there
was insufficient moisture for the crop
to mature due to the extremely heavy
growth. However. where there was ade-
quate moisture, the crops we're excel
lent.
He has tried both Standard and Fair
way strains of crested wheatgrass and
finds that he gets best results with
Fairway.
Dam for Irrigation
Another phase of the David James
success story is the building of dams
and bitches for irrigation. It's not a
cheap way to raise a crop. he says,
but its life-saver in a dry year. In
the fall and winter of 1949-'50 James
and one of his sons worked day and
night with a 1928 model farm tractor
to build a dam 261z feet high. The
work had to be completed before the
spring run-off or the dam would have
been washed away The dam backs up
for more than a mile, and with 6 and
10-inch pumps, plus several miles of
bikes, water is provided for adjacent
hay fields, an acre OF potatoes and
pasture land.

''WHEN I FIRST fenced my land
could only keep 40 cows and when it
came fall the cattle sometimes we're
thinner than when l turned them out
in the spring Now l have over twice
that number and my cattle are always
fat when I ship IN the fall"
Thus speaks David James of Circle,
Montana. His success in developing a
sound livestock unit is the result of
hard work and good management prac-
tees.
In 1886 James seeded 225 acres in
crested wheatgraSs. Today he has about
400 acres in wheatgrass. He states that
it makes excellent hay and spring pas
ture, and that he has saved hundreds
of dollars by not having to feed hay in
late spring.
James has one 100 acre field that has
been in wheatgrass for nearly 20 years.
A crop of hay was harvested last sum-
mer and by fail the grass was over
six inches high. Last winter James said
he could dig through the snow and find
green grass.
Makes Extra Gains
With good spring pasture, James says
his calves make extra gains and aver
age 800 pounds when marketed in Oc-
tober. Last fall he sold cows, many of
which were old. wet cows, that aver
aged 1,4OO to 1,5OO pounds, and an g.
year-old bull weighing 1850 that had
been fed nothing but good hay before
being turned out in June.
James points out that in England
cattle have been fattened on grass for
the past 100 years. He feels that we in
the United States will have to do more
grass feeding if we want to produce in
expensive beef, as it takes less than
half the grain when fed with good grass,
he adds.
Wheatgrass in Rows
When James first began his pasture
and range renovation program in 1886
he planted crested wheatgrass in rows
one foot apart with the contour. He re-
ports that blowing of the light, sandy
soil was checked and he got a very
satisfactory stand. However, since hi
started raising his own seed he ha!
been making the rows 6 inches apart
A good stand can be expected on stubbl'
ground, he says, if the soil is not to,
hard.
James states that crested wheatgras
is very hard on moisture, but it ha
been his experience that it is a grea
soil builder. He's seeded grain on lam
that had been in Wheatgrass for mum

Good Bluegrass
Hay ON Dryland
ByL. Il. CAMPBELL
Lake County

E. C. CLAFFEY, now street commits
Sioner for Poison. but formerly dry
land farmer from the eastern part of
the state, is reported to have been one
of the first MontananS to try out Big
Sherman Bluegrass on dryland.
Claffey, who still runs a small herd
of cattle on his ranch south of town,
states that the city airport had become
a problem because of the difficulty of
controlling weeds and dust. The bench
land soil is mostly white clay with
large number of alkali spots, not an
easy soil to get a stand of grass on, he
says.
Explaining how Big Sherman Blue
grass was seeded Claffey goes on to say,
II tried it as an experiment seeding
about pounds to the acre each of the
bluegrass and Ladak alfalfa l borrowed
an old disc drill which did not have
a grass seeder attachment. So / took
the tubes out from between the disks
and let them bangle to give the effect
of broadcast seeding
ITO get an even distribution of the
seed put the grass seed in first with
the alfalfa on top. The latter being
heavier it sifted down through the grass
seed so that the two were fairly evenly
mixed.
''The land was summer fallowed the
previous summer. The sod was dry
plowed and in the fall knocked out the
air pockets. In the following spring it
was disced and lightly narrowed. All
seed was pre-treated with nitrogen and
sown early enough to get the benefit of
a good rainfall about the 5th of May.
''The first season the mustard was so
thick that the grass did not make
crop. However, the mustard served to
catch the winters snow and in the fol-
lowing spring it was raked and burned.
Burning killed some of the grass but
none of the alfalfa. 1t did get rid of the
Canadian thistleS.
''The second season I harvested a
crop of pa to 21S tons of hay to the
acre and have been getting about the
same yield each year since. The hay is
cut the middle of June and since the
grass and alfalfa mature within three
dayS of each other this makes an ideal
combination.
81 feed the hay to my calves The
grass is fine stemmed, high in protein,
and the calves like it. 1t is, however,
not recommended for pasture because
the stock feed it down too close and il
dies out. Big Sherman Bluegrass comes
up early, even before the snow leaves
and on this heavy soil has produced g
perfect stand"

Union Secretary Believed
In Revolution, Ex-Red Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

union members otherwise-in

that Travis told him in a num-

he believed in Communist revo-

Mr.. Eckert, now an interna-
