Irrigation
Concrete Ditch
Costs $500
By THOMAS FTKE
Fremont County, Wyoming


WE POURED $500 feet of concrete
ditch lining in 10 hours at cost of $500.
The ditch has proved very satisfac-
tory. 1t handles a good head of water
and so far there has been no heaving
and buckling from freezing, though it
got down to IA below here last winter.
1 used 5O1k yards of ready mixed
concrete at SIS yard This was hauled
Is miles. The mix was 5 to 1, with type
II cement, 40 per cent washed gravel,
1A-inch down, and go per cent washed
sand, A-inch down, also per cent air
intraining agent. About $50 gallons of
water to 414 yards of gravel sand and
cement worked out nicely for us,
though this would have to vary accord
ing to the moisture in the sand. The
cement has to be wet enough to slide
smoothly out of the slip form but stiff
enough to hold up on the sides of the
ditch.
Expansion joints we're placed every
10 feet. The concrete was sprayed with
a curing compound.
The ditch was made with ditcher
that had a Pinch nose. 1t is important
to get the ditch as near as possible to
the size of the slip form you use.

Tb0Mgbts on Life
So Shall We
Be Judged
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

by DK. JOf1N HOLLAINO
During the frontier days in the great
Western prairies, the Sioux Indians had
a wonderful custom with wisdom
worthy Of the deepest thinkers of the
race.
When an Indian was to leave his
camp to travel far and wide among
the Indians of other tribes and lands,
he would sit beside the chiefs the night
before. Just as the blaze of the camp
fire aShed over, the Indian would lift
his hands to heaven and say, .Great
Spirit, help me never to judge another
man until / have walked two weeks
in his moccasins."
You recall the strong words of Jesus:
Judge not, that you be not judged.
For with what judgment We judge, We
shall be judged; and with what measure
We mete, it shall be measured to you
again" Matthew I'D
I cannot think of a time in history
when it was more necessary to follow
the words of Christ than now. The old
order Of peoples living apart is over.
Science has made neighbors of us,
whether we like it or not. We are being
crowded together and rubbing elbows
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-10-15

with peoples we never knew before.
The rule of thought is this: The more
people there are, the more opinions
there are about everything under the
sun.
Everyone has right to his opinions,
and although we seek to convince
others of the rightness of our opinions,
we have no right to SANDER them or
shoot those who disagree.
1 remember, during my high school
days, that a religious debate was held
in our little Iowa town. It was over
baptism, as to the proper and Scrip
tural mode of the rite. -Four days the
debate lasted as the protagonists of
diverse views Scrapped it out. There
were two fist fights on the main street
before the affray was over. Did you
ever reflect upon the fact that it is
easier to argue with another person
than it is to so live that he may approve
your character?
Judgment Is Mine"
Judgment is mine, 1 will repay"
saith the Lord. Of course, there come
occasions when it is necessary to judge
the character and conduct of others. He
who told us not to judge also told us
not to cast our pearls before swine. 1t
really is necessary sometimes to find
out who the swine are, or our pearls
will be wasted.
Most communities suffer from this
too willing and quick judging of other
people. When you know that often it
takes a court weeks or even months
to find out what really happened and
who was guilty in certain situation,
how foolish it is to make our snap
shot judgment upon hearsay.
We all need a willingness to see life
as others see it. There is no other way
to build Brotherhood. Love alone can
rebuild our warning world. Read again
the Indians prayer.
'Great Spirit, help me never to judge
another man until / have walked two
weeks in his moccasins."
Then memorize this:
''There is so much good in the worst
of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us
