Momtana's Fertile Soils
Sun. the Alche1nist
On The Plains, 1t Forces Plants
To wiring Existence from THE Soil
By Il. w. ERICKSON

altitude plains of the MISSISSIPPI Valley
but it is seldom dusty. Now and then
they experience some wind but, as a
rule, compared with the higher altitude
plains east of the Rocky Mountains, the
low-altitude, high-humidity regions of
the Great Basin are pleasantly calm.
Rainfall in these areas usually totals
two and three times as much as the
annual rainfall on the plains. Montana,
with summerfallow tillage, is producing
moderate to good crops of wheat in
some areas with one fourth the annual
rainfall received in the eastern part of
the heavy producing corn belt. At low
attitudes, this heavier rainfall means
hazy, moisture-filled air even when the
sun shines, and usually it is cloudy a
greater part of the time than it is on
the high altitude plains where humidity
is very low.
WeIl-ROOted Grasses
When nature was left to do its own
crop planning we find that the area of
light rainfall and low humidity produced
short grasses with enormous root
structures. Buffalo grass is most easily
recognized in this class. These roots
penetrate to depths of and feet.
Buffalo grass grows only five to 10
inches high and even where it is most
favored it is difficult to harvest. The
mower sickle bar must be tilted down.
ward to get under the thick layer of
short grass. Despite this meager vege-
tative growth it has always been aston
ishing to all animal husbandmen from
more humid regions how this short
grass. sustained and put flesh on the
animals who were literally licking their
forage off the ground.
Health, Vitality
When l see wheat only 10 to 20 inches
tall producing from to Is bushels per
acre of the finest milling grain in the
United States, from Montana soils
where we know millions of the great
land animals, the buffalo, grazed, I
want to know what the flour produced
from such wheat does to men and
women who eat it. I do not expect
them to look like buffalo, Indians or
grizzly bears, but I believe it gives
health, vitality, physique and brains to
those who are fortunate enough to have
all of such bread they want to eat.
Yes, I believe it would benefit this
nation if all the people in it were en-
couraged to eat bread produced from
wheat grown on the high altitude plains
Montana, though now well advanced in
agriculture, could produce only a part
of our bread requirements if the human
life-sustaining qualities of the soils were
better known.
In simple language this is what takes
place in crop growth on these plains.
First, we should keep in mind the COM
position of these soils, the way they
have been built, the climate which had
part in it and the altitude which is
largely responsible for the climate.
Because of the low humidity, the
brilliant sunshine of the western plains
strikes the food plants with great In
tensity and literally forces them to
wiring their existence and nourishment
out of the soil. They can get but little
moisture out of the aid. It is too dry
Their root structure is forced to pene
trate deep into the rich lime and min
eral layer in which the preceding year.:

story of MOntana'S premium quality
wheat. 1t is written by man who
has spent a lifetime in the western
wheat country and who makes wheat
his business. AS a crop reporter he
travels over $4,000 miles a year
visiting the wheat areas of IL west
ern states and Canada. In his years
of travel he has become convinced
that the high plains country of Mon
tana produces the best wheat in the
world and in this series he explains
why. Other articles by MIR. Erickson
will appear in Montana Farmer
StOckman later this year.
THE PROCESS OF depositing air.
borne material picked up by winds from
disintegrating rocks has been going on
through the geological ages. 1t has
built the western soils. Between the
dusty periods, rains have fallen, leach
ing down the lime and mineral content
of the airborne material to the depth
of the moisture penetration. Since
rains penetrating so inches deep did
not fall as frequently as rains pene-
trating to depths of Is to so inches, the
lime concentrated at the IS to 50-inch
depth.
On top of this soil wild animal life
grazed and died. AS they lived they
deposited agriculture's earliest and
most common fertilizer; ass they died
they decomposed and were absorbed
by the soils. The bones and the horns
of the buffalo were the last to decay.
When the early settlers were picking
these bones and shipping them east to
enrich the lowland soils, then already
depleted, they found from 2 to 10 tons
of bones per acre. No wonder virgin
soils are so productive.
This decaying animal matter together
with grass and grass roots formed the
darker colored soils on top. This is the
layer which the farmer usually meas
ures and its depth gives him his i'm
preston of the value of the land. II

Foundation for Quality
You will note from the previous pic
lures how wheat roots begin to spread
when they reach the higher lime con
centration. There are two reasons fo
this. One is that the roots seek thi
lime layer. The second is that linn
strata will carry from to II per cen
more moisture than the dark soil above
This is where summerfallowing mad
