traces of remover with turpen-
! tine or benzine. Be careful of fire.
Rough Garage Floor.
Question: The concrete sur
face of our garage floor is very
rough. Can anything be done
about resurfacing it?
Answer: If the surface is very
rough and you have in your COM
munity terrazzo contractor, he
could grind the floor down
smooth with terrazzo grinding
machine. If the area is not too
large, you might be able to do
the same by rubbing with a
coarse abrasive stone. This,
frankly. requires lot of "elbow
grease" Otherwise, you will have
to put down a topping of con-
crete l to 2 inches in thick
ness. Be sure there is no grease
or oil on the floor before putting
down the concrete.
Powder on Lead Windows.
Question: Is there anything
we can do to loaded windows so
they will not powder and smear
when washed?
Answer: I presume the white
powder comes off the metal
frames. Wipe the metal strips
with boiled linseed oil; then
after an hour or two wipe off
all excess. Do not wash the
windows for a week to 10 days
after application.
FlOOrcOvering for Porch.
Question: We recently inclosed
our porch, which runs across the
width of the home. The floor is
concrete with an air space of
about 3 feet between the ground
and the floor itself. We wish to
cover this floor with tile-asphalt
or rubber. What is your recon-
mendation? Also do you think
it necessary or advisable to put
a deadening felt between con-
crete and tile to insulate it?
Answer: Since there is an air
space under the concrete slab,
you can cover it with any type
of floorcovering. The choice of
asphalt or rubber tile is up to
you, since both materials are
satisfactory for the purpose
Rubber naturally is more res
ilient, but asphalt tile is less

less than 81 per acre to about Sic per
acre. Some illustrations point out
other reasons for these differences
table o. With the assumed yields, it
is seen that rents for wheat and corn
are considerably smaller than rents
for alfalfa and sugar beets. A farmer
with relatively large acreages of beets
paid much more rent than a farmer
with large acreages of small grains.
Table 2 also shows the differences in
rents per acre on farms with and with
out buildings. The difference on a per
farm basis can be demonstrated by
using crop acreages similar to those
in Buffalo Rapids in 1949 Rents on the
illustrative farms were 1894 and
$1489 per acre, respectively. The
charge for buildings amounted to $3.50
on this farm. Building expenses out
of this amount would be taxes, fire in
surance, repairs, depreciation, and in
terest on Investment The adequacy
of $3.50 in meeting these expenses de-
ponds on the amount and quality of
buildings on the farm.
Apparent Inadequacies
Studies of renting in the United States
have shown several weaknesses of
rental practices. Sometimes the tenant
doesn't have enough freedom in his de-
disseminating. Frequently the length
of lease is so uncertain that the oper-
ator has difficulty making plans Pro-
visions seldom are made to remuner-
ate the tenant adequately for perma-
nent improvements and for Soil-build-
ing practices. Consequently, profitable
investments frequently are not made.
These inadequacies apparently pre-
vailed on many rented farms in the
Buffalo Rapids Area.
Rents usually are determined by Gus
tom. Crop-shares are essentially the
same from farm to farm regardless of
soil quality or size of farm This meth
cd does not assure that tenants and
landlords receive the rent due them on
the basis of contributions. Customary
rental practices may result in substan-
tial inequities among tenants and land
lords.
Farm Buildings
Residences and farm buildings on
= some rented farms were unsatisfactory
in Buffalo Rapids Houses frequently
were small and in a poor state of re-
pair. Farm buildings were inadequate
or absent. Thus, operators could not
adequately care for a livestock enter
prise. Livestock numbers were low on
most rented farms.
Suitable farm buildings and houses
on, rented farms are attractive to ca
pable operators In the long-run they
may be profitable both for the landlord
and for the tenant. Good buildings ado

Leases by the Association contained
several provisions that were not in the
private leases. Corn acreage was re-
stricted to 20 per cent of all crops ex-
cept by special agreement. The Asso-
citation furnished 100 pounds of COM
mercial fertilizer per acre of sugar
beets.
On the study farms, II crop-share
rent paid to the Association in 1949
averaged about $3.50 per acre. Consid-
cradle variation in crop yields and
kinds of crops existed among farms
so there was large range in rents paid

NetO Irrigation Projects
Study Shows Rent, Leasing
Provisions Need Revising
BY CLYDE E. STEWART

This is the third in series of four
articles by Mr.. Stewart in which he
analyses factors that will make for
success of new irrigation projects in
Montana. AS a basis for the analy-
sis MIR. Stewart refers to the ex-
perience of the Buffalo Rapids
Project, which has proved to be one
of the most successful federal ir-
rigatiOn projects thus far. Mr..
Stewart is agricultural economist
with the Production Economics Re-
search Branch of the USDA Re-
search Service, BOZeman.
A LARGE PORTION of the irrigable
land in the lower Marias area in north
central Montana is owned by absentee
owners-persons who live outside the
three counties that contain the project
1t is not known what these owners will
do with their land when irrigation wa
ter becomes available. Some owners
will sell out. Others may retain land
and develop irrigated farms. These IT.
rigated farms could then be sold or
rented The possibility of renting on
the project seems sufficiently great to
warrant its consideration during the de-
velopment period and subsequent years.
Renting was used extensively in the
development of the Buffalo Rapids
Project in eastern Montana. The pur-
pose of this article is to examine these
renting experiences and the possible
significance of renting in the future.
Kind and Amount of Rent
Rental arrangements were practical
ly all standard crop-share leases This
applies to leases both by private own
ers and by the Buffalo Rapids Farms
Association.
The shares of crops paid to landlords
and other rental arrangements are
shown in table 1. By 1850, all Associa-
ton farms with buildings had been sold
so that lease rates for this kind oil
farm no longer applied. The same rates
were used on privately owned farms
The general effect of buildings on rents
can be seen from the table. For eX
ample, share rents with and withou
buildings for small grains were - anC
"a, for alfalfa hay y and 2/5, and fol
sugar beets Us and 1/6. Real estat,
taxes and water charges were paid b,
the landowners.

Thompson ROmps
Thompson came up with it's
first victory in four starts with
their surprising romp over
KenSton.
With Byron Heath and Bob
Ondrick pacing the attack, the
Redskins scored twice in each
of the first two periods and
added another goal in the third
period for their margin.
Kenston threatened only
twice in the game, once get
ting to the Thompson one-yard
line but the Thompson line held
to take over the ball on downs.
1T was a team victory, -
Coach Ray Brannon exclaimed
but the Redskin Mentor had
special praise for the work of
tackle FRANKIE Zehe for his
fine blocking and tackling.
Lee Murphy opened the scor-
ing for Thompson early in the
first quarter after Thompson
had recovered a KenSton tumble
on the Bomber's 43 yard line
Murphy bolted over from the
five and Thompson was off and
running.
Later in the first per iod,
Thompson took a punt on the
KenSton 49 and drove all the
way with Heath plunging over
from the one yard line n d
Ondrick kicking the extra
point.
In the second period, Thomp-
son drove to the Kenston one
yard line only to tumble and
lose the ball but on the first
play by Kenston. Ondrick in
tercepted a Kenston pass on the
Is and raced into the nd
zone for the score. His place
ment made the count 900.
The Redskins scored again
later in the period when Bruce
Lang swept end for 20 yards
to climax a 48-yard drive and
make the score $50 at half
time.
Ondrick scored again for
Thompson in the third period
on a six plunge to complete
a 81 yard drive and added the
extra point by placement to
emo the scoring.
