clothes for the job have become
a new part of Americas ward

The time has passed when Pop

and a ragged shirt to tackle a

has special outfits for his home

Clothes to Stand Gaff.
Perhaps a family project for

job at hand in sturdy jeans and
colorful cotton shirts made to
stand the gaff. No ragged
sleeves or gaping holes catch on
tools and impede progress. They
have found that proper work
clothes speed up the job as well
as proving safety factor.
Since the whole family often
works together, it's more fun
for everybody to be dressed as
comfortably and attractively as
possible. Then when it's time to
stop for a picnic lunch, the

INTO the picture.

humps of sod which later could foul up
haying equipment.
A suitable roller can be made by
cutting the tops and bottoms out of
three thirty-gallon oil drums. These
should be spot welded together to form
a long cylinder. A length of two-inch
pipe should be conferred through the
barrels extending through the ends
about 10 inches. The cylinder then
should be poured full of concrete, using
rocks to help fill the space. A wood
frame with hitch can be easily made
from four by six timbers.
Seed Mixture
On well drained meadows the follow
ing grass seed mixture has been found
to produce as much as five tons of hay
per acre: Thirty per cent timothy, 20
per cent orchard grass, Is per cent
alsike clover, 10 per cent red clover,
Is per cent alfalfa and 10 per cent
Kentucky 81 Fescue. This mixture
should be planted at the rate of 20
pounds per acre.
On poorly drained meadows or where
the soil is moist most of the year, the
following mixture has been found to
be very good: Forty per cent timothy,
20 per cent alsike clover, Is per cent
red top, 10 per cent meadow foxtail and
Is per cent Reed canary grass. A good
stand of this mixture can be obtained
from planting of from II to IS pounds
per acre.
The grasses which have shown up as
the least desirable in this area are
crested wheatgrass, because of its light
yield, and bronze grass which has been
found to be quite difficult to get start,
ed and its tendency to become sod
bound within few years.
The meadows on which paintings Of
the above mixtures were made pro
duced total of 375 bales of wild hay
in 1948 while in 1858 these same
meadows produced 2,482 bales of higf
quality hay.

IN RESPONSE to request from
Montana Farmer Stockman, here is a
report of experiments 1 have been con-
Quoting over the past six years in re-
seeding intermountain meadows in the
Willow Creek drainage six miles south
west of Browning.
In some instances the hay yield on
these reseeded meadows has been in
creased ten times over the original
stands of native grass. In other in
stances, due to soil conditions, the in
crease has not been so great. However,
in all cases the yield of hay and grass
has at least been tripled.
Much criticism may be expected,
especially from old timers, when
meadows of native grass are plowed
up. Such remarks as What shame to
see that good grass plowed under" and
"All you will have in a few years will
be a crop of Canadian THISTLE will be
heard. After few years when these
same critics walk through stands of
grass reaching nearly to their should
ers, you will hear something like this.
Sure wish had started something
like this years ago." and, tive been
dragging my machinery all over the
country trying to get up enough hay to
last me this winter"
Seed Bed Important
A good seed bed is the first REQUIRE
ment. This can be best accomplished
by breaking up the meadows in the
late summer after the hay crop has
been removed. The following spring the
ground should be worked up as soon as
possible. Oats or barley Especially
HOrsford barley should be planted and
then the grass seed sown right over the
grain but with the drill spouts out o.
the discs so that the seed falls and re
mains on top of the ground.
After seeding, the ground should BIZ
gone over with heavy roller. The roll
ing not only provides a firm seed bee
but also breaks up or mashes dowI

Wooded Pond
Once W alter Hole
By WILLIAM d. ALEXANDER,
Roosevelt CoHntv

THE EXPERIENCE of considerable
part-time work has convinced me that
any stock water reservoir can be made
into something besides just water
hole"
The building of a dam by the Soil
Conservation Service in 1915 gave me
a pond 1000 feet long, rods wide and
feet deep. After it was filled the fol-
lowing spring, we faced our first prob
lem: Waves began washing away the
dam.
