Soils and Crops
Soil Surveys
Are Available
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

RIGHT NOW THERE are farmers
and ranchers who are looking around
for place to buy or rent. They know
what they are looking for and are hop
ing that they get it in their desired
location and at the right price. To aid
in selection we call attention to a Serv-
ice available in many areas of the
state.
Back about 1920 the soil survey staff
of the department of agronomy and
soils of the Montana Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station in cooperation with
federal agencies began field studies to
determine the characteristics of Mon
tana soils as they existed in nature.
The surveys classified the soils into
types, plotted their respective boun-
diaries on maps and even predicted
their behavior under different manage
ment practices. To date, only SO per
cent of the state has been mapped. Two
systems of of surveying and mapping have
been employed-the detailed and recon
Nuisance methods.
Uses OF Soil Surveys
Soil survey reports contain helpful
information to ID guide prospective
buyers or tenants in selecting a farm;
90 determine potential adoption and
yield of individual crops or soil man.
agement practices required for a spe-
cific area; CD use as basis in plan
ming future agricultural research; "a
supplement laboratory tests in predict
ing fertilizer requirements; go provide
basis of land appraisal for tax assess
ment, farm loans and farm purchasing,
and (6) plan and develop drainage, irri-
cation and conservation programs.
There is difference between the
detailed and Reconnaissance types
of soil surveys Detailed soil SURVEYS
are generally made in the more in
tensive farming areas such as the irri-
gated valleys. A look at a soils map
completed for nearly any irrigated val
ley will convince you of the extreme
variability that exists You will find
deep soils, shallow soils, fine textured
soils, coarse textured soils and you
can even spot the poorly drained areas.
Such highly variable conditions in a
small area complicate cropping and
programs and consequent
Iy require that soils be examined at
close intervals. Reports indicate soil |
conditions on tracts as small as 10 |
acres.
Reconnaissance Surveys
Soil reconnaissance surveys were
made of the ranch and dry farming
areas east of the Continental Divide.
IN general, soils are examined at inter-
rails of two miles or more under this
ystem. However, the soil separations
contain sufficient detail to use as a
'uide in dry farming or ranching ODD
ratiOnS.
Counties in which reconnaissance sur
eys have been completed include
'laine, Broadwater, Cascade, Chouteau.

knock him down, but he won't be hurt, so
don't pat him or make up" Hell think it
was all his fault for humping into you.
AFFECTION: He's cute and cuddly, but
he can't take very much affection when
he's little. Itll wear him out and upset his
digestion. Ration your petting.
PROPERTY DAMAGE: Up to a year.
young dog will gnaw on anything within
reach. Solution: keep things out Of his
reach, keep him out of rooms where break
ables are kept. always replace forbidden
object promptly with bone or rubber toy.
MEDICAL CARE: See that he gets the
shots he needs. Don't try to diagnose or
treat illness or injury. Get the vet.
OBEDIENCE. A dog is usually eager to
learn and will learn quickly if given a
chance. Under six months the pup is still too
much of baby to pay attention to train
ing. except for learning his name and being
house-trained. After six months. simple
obedience lessons can be started. At eight
months dog is capable of all basic lessons:
''heel." sit, /" lie down. !" come, stay"
The best rule is: clear demonstration,
praise for success. disapproval of failure.
Evening star., 1955-01-30

Associate the dogs name with good
things, like food and fun. Don't call him in
order to soold; 60 to him.
Keep lessons short, Is minutes at most.
Stop if dog acts puzzled or rebellious.
Hold training sessions before meals,
when dog is alert.
Do one lesson at time, and use same
actions and words until he gets the idea.
When no has to be used more fire.
quently than praise, it's time to ease up.
GROOMING. Brushing and combing
pups coat can be started early. Most dogs
don't need much care, with the exception
of long g-haired breeds. but the dog becomes
accustomed to the routine.
Bathing is overdone by many dog own
ers. Many dogs hate baths and most of
them don't need baths as frequently as the
master thinks. Pups should never be
bathed unless they have had distemper
shots, and then only if the dog becomes
exceedingly dirty. Note: There are water
less shampoos made specifically for dogs.

Illnesses and Injuries
