something that will happen over night.
The process will be slow because of the
fact that the farmer on the irrigated
place needs cash income with which to
pay his bills and to live. He has been
receiving this cash income from grain.
1t is not easy to change over, put in
irrigated pasture, have feed grains and
alfalfa hay, because it takes up to three
years to receive any cash returns from
this type of farming. If the picture is
to be changed it will be necessary for
this farmer to have some source of in
come which will enable him to provide
a living for himself and family and pay
his water, taxes and o & M. charges.
Many range operators, on the other
hand, have adequate summer range but
often are short on hay and winter feed.
If such range operator has the fl
nances and can find reliable farmer,
it is entirely possible that he could
lease his cattle for the purpose of win
tering them either to be marketed in
the spring or returned to him in the
spring. Possibly, they could be run on
irrigated pasture to be marketed in
the fall.
Possible Programs
A range operator may lease his cat
tie for the following purposes.
1. Wintering calves on a maintenance
ration with the calves returned in the
spring.

Pto$n

1. The range operator leasing year
lingS to an irrigation farmer in the fall
for the purpose of wintering and fatten-
ing on a full ration to be marketed in
the spring.
2. Range operator leasing calves to
be wintered on a maintenance ration
or on a feeding ration as mutually
agreed, then to be run on irrigated pas
ture and grain through the summer to
be marketed in a fat condition, that is
high good to choice, in late summer or
early fall.
The conditions of the contract must
be mutually agreeable if it is to work
and, furthermore, both parties to the
contract must benefit or the deal will
not work out.
An irrigation farmer who has surplus
hay and grain feed would probably be
interested in a program whereby he
could take the yearlings and feed them
out on gain basis for spring market.
This operator should have had some
experience in feeding or have access to
information pertaining to livestock
feeding which would assist him in this
operation.
With this type program the range OPP
orator and feeder could agree on the
feeder receiving all of the gain at the
market price, so per cent of the profit,
or all of the gain at Predetermined
price, such as Is to Is cents. The price,

NASH income received from leasing
~ beef cattle can pave the way to di-
versification for the irrigation farmer.
This program will also increase profits
for the range livestock operator through
heavier selling weights of cattle and
give him greater flexibility in his ranch
operation. This type of program has
been worked successfully for many
years with respect to lambs; it has been
confined pretty much to agreements
between commercial feeders and irri-
cation farmers in our irrigated valleys
and on the projects.
There has been tendency for several
years for irrigation farmers to stray
from intensive type production to that
type not requiring large capital invest
ment or investment in labor. This is
principally the program of wheat rails
ing. Many irrigated farms do not have
livestock on them and are not operated
under a crop rotation system. They
are strictly wheat farms on high cost
unit basis which are in competition
with larger, lower cost dryland farms.
With cuts in acreage, cross-compli-
ance, etc., playing an important role
in the business of farming, it is time
to fall back, regroup and embark on
program whereby an irrigation farm
er will again be able to have diversi-
fled irrigated unit. This means a good
rotation program and livestock.
This change-over is not going to be

LIFE ABROAD

1.-THE appearance of spectators
and speculation in our time is
caused by the shortage of certain
goods" Trud commented. "Ex-
plotting this temporary difficulty,
every kind of parasite and lover
of easy gain buys up these goods
which are in short supply to resell
them, thereby disorganizing Soviet
trade and causing the population
much inconvenience"
Trud told of one theater ticket
Scalper named Litvak who was
caught three times and each time
released.
Zone might have expected that
the militia would take stricter
measures" the trade union organ
said. "But the militia officers soon
completely lost track of this Lit
yak Other cases show that
the organs of the militia are at
times manifestly eaSy-going with
spectators.
The newspaper also scolded citi-
zens who patronize the black mar
keteers. Although buying from
spectators is not punishable un-
der Soviet law, Trud said, "Any
person having recourse to the
services of spectators is commit
ting an act opposed to the spirit
of Soviet ethics, and should be
ostracized."
