 Batchelor described himself as a leader of the American prison CTS, but acknowledged that other POWs who talked with Indian of ficers at the gate failed to pass on information.
 This included the news that Cpl. Dickenson had returned to his home town in the United States and married, he said.

 When pressed how the Chinese were able to tell him while he was in Indian custody, he ac- knowledged that there was "some contact" with the Red comIn hand. He did not elaborate.

Texas Corporal Returns From Reds,

SEOUL, R - A young Texas corporal-one Of 23 American war prisoners who originally stayed with the Communists-said Sat urday "there might be others who would come out" if given protection from dagger yielding fellow POWs.
 Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor, who changed his mind and asked to go home, called for an investiga- tion of conditions inside the pro- Communist neutral zone com pound and said Indian guards should search it for hidden Wea- pons.
 Batchelor, of Kermit, Tex, is the second of the B Americans to ask repatriation.
 His story of life in the wire enclosed compound near Pan munjom, told during a 40-minute press conference here, conflicted at many points of reports of the Indian Command in the Stockade now holding 21 Americans, 1 Briton and 327 South Koreans.
 Indian sp0kesmen have said re- peatedly there are no weapons in the compound and that it would be simple matter for any pri- soner wishing repatriation to con- tact guard.
 Batchelor refused to answer many questions concerning condi- tions inside the camp.

and additionally binding this section to
the footing for more strength.
After the wall was up, two or three
patches of concrete were poured into
the ditch Immediately below the wall.
While these we're being poured, one
man continuously plastered and REIN
forced to make the shape of the still
ing basin. Probably no two shilling
basins look alike but they all still the
water just the same. In order to let
water fall into water and cut down the
splash, lip was built into the sitting
basin.
In this case of sandy or light soils,
we found it a good idea to tie the
blocks on each end of the main wall
to the undisturbed soil with concrete
mortar. Doing this will cut down many
potential washouts before the backfiIl
dirt has entirely settled.
Increased Production
When the structures that have been
built, coupled with renovation, l have
seen marked increase in the hay and
crop production. The fact of the mat
ter is, at this writing, l still have Is
per cent of the, farm land on this place
to get under revised irrigation sys-
tenn. I'll get at it as soon as l can.
Through renovating the meadows and
revising three-fourths of the irrigation
system, have seen the hay yield from
the ranch go up to so per cent already.
BY the time finish the work planned
and can afford to get around to the use
of commercial fertilizer, am conf
dent that my production will be more
than doubled over the 10 previous years
average.

Spray, Sheep Combination
Controls Leafy Spurge
By FRANK HAEGEN, Fergus County

IT IS POSSIBLE to live with Leafy
Spurge and even make it help support
you while you eradicate it. Proof of
this is in the experience of Firing Pc
terson on his ranch in southern Fer
gus County.
When Peterson bought this combina-
ton wheat and stock ranch he knew
Spurge by its reputation alone. He
moved right in on it with spray, using
an extremely strong 2,4-D ester mix
ture. He says it was Is inches high and
completely covered the ground on
more than 100 acres of the ranch. 1t
made a rank stand up to where his
land joined a neighbours sheep pasture.
In the sheep pasture there was not a
spurge plant to be seen. There was
the making of a plan.
Peterson collected all the informa-
ton available from Montana State Col
lege and two chemical companies. He
teamed this with his own observations
and bought some sheep. From the ini-
tial plan of spraying and sleeping he
has worked out simple and effective
control-eradication system.
He fenced $50 acres for a sheep pas
ture, finding it ample for his band of
$50 sheep. The sheep prefer the leafy
Spurge to grass. They spend most of
their time on the spurge, eating it into
the ground while the grass goes prac-
tically untouched. This leads to a prob
lem of eradication nothing to spray
in the fall. To be sprayed effectively
leafy spurge must be several inches
high.
II let it grow late in the summer in
1852 and sprayed it that fall,'' Peter
son said. 'This didn't kill all of it but
what did grow was so delayed I was
short of sheep pasture. The high carry
ing capacity of spurge makes me hest
tate to spray it again.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-08-01

He went on to tell about his eradica-
ton program for the patches outside
his sheep pasture. These patches total
about 10 acres and are in both cult
waited and hay lands. He claims the
patches should be Staked, for after a
treatment of spring and fall spraying
the patches virtually disappear. A few
struggling plants show up the next year
but without stakes they are extremely
hard to locate and if left will start
spreading again.
The Peterson ranch is in the Judith
Gap area between the Big Snowy and
Little Belt mountains. Two railroads
and an oiled highway either go through
or border his ranch. He believes the
leafy Spurge came into this area on the
railroads, for it is on both sides of
the tracks for miles. 1t seems to have
spread some with the help of the pre-
vailing winds, for it is mostly east of
the tracks.
Peterson says he has many different
soils and the spurge does equally well
on rich bottom land, on gravel ridges,
in sandy soil or clay. Alkali spots seem
to be the only place it won't grow, but
nothing else grows there either.
From the experience of Peterson and
his neighbors it seems if a leafy spurge
lnfestation is wide enough spread to
support 100 sheep (fewer than that num-
Der is likely to be impracticaD it can
be economically useful while being kept
under control. Erling claims the spurge
produces some wonderful heavy lambs.
On hay land or other small patches a
combination of fall spraying and bronze
grass planting seems to do the trick.
Peterson says he uses triple wheat
strength spray mixture and then lib
orally soaks the plants. 1t is expensive
but it saves yearly re-spraying over a
long period of time. 1t burns the grass,
which comes back. The spurge doesn't.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-08-01

1t looks like a lot of trouble and cost,
but remember these bitches and struc-
lures will be there for long time to
come. The ease with which water is
handled is greatly facilitated In other
words you can do better job of IT.
rigation with much less effort. Even
if some day 1 should switch to sprinkler
type irrigation, the basic water supply
system will remain intact and be there
to serve.

Farm, Ranch Experiences
Water Control Structures Save

Farm, Ranch Experiences

johnson County, Wyoming

S@NO
nond Seven Ranch, located 8 miles
west of Buffalo, Wyo., about six years
ago, I had little knowledge of irrigat-
ing. The best way to learn about it
of course was to do it myself.
About the time took over, there was
no doubt that the irrigation system was
in a transitional period. BY that I
mean that previous methods of ham
ding water had about run their time.
A fairly decent average of production
had been made for many years, but
now the bitches were eroded so badly
that it was very hard to even fill the
laterals.
A plan of soil and moisture conserva-
ton was established with the assistance
of the Lake DeSmet Soil Conservation
District, and the Soil Conservation
Service technicians were called in on
the project. Their technical advice,
surveying, mapping, etc., proved an
invaluable aid in getting off on the
right foot in revising the system.
Concrete Drops
The first major project was the in
stallation of five all concrete drops,
constructed on Soil Conservation Serv-
ice plans. At the end of these drops,
a continuous concrete chute of about
200 feet was made. This involved the
hiring of small dragline to cut the
stairstep grade to the proper depth.
The total distance involved was about
800 feet and the total drop about 80
feet. It doesn't sound very far but
this was an important hurdle. 1t was
through this construction that a full
head of water from the main ditch had
to be carried. The total cost on this
part ran about $500 which l figured
was repaid before the end of the first
season of use.
Block Construction
The next time was ready to get
at this work the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice suggested concrete blocks for the
MAMMALS and rubble masonry for the
shilling basins because my biggest prob
lem before had been the tremendous
amount of work in the construction and
placing of forms.
Having decided to use concrete
blocks. I hired the small dragline
again, and the operator dug the stair
step bitches along three additional
fields. In each of the three fields, the
distance involved was about 400 feet.
The average cost for this digging was
about $40 per drop.
At each drop location it was neces-
Sary to do hand shovel work to open
notch for the footing and mainwall
and additional hand shaping of the
ditch to allow pouring of the shilling
basin without forms. The average
drop of water per structure was about
21A feet.
Handy Mixer
Since I had about so of these struc-
lures to build before the next growing
season I wanted to shortcut as much as
possible. Setting up and pouring the
concrete was the biggest problem. To
lick this, one of my friends, who is
handy in the shop, and l built mixer
attached on the back of my tractor
and powered by the power takeoff. That
way no wheelbarrow was needed and
