in the amount of dry alfalfa hay cattle
will eat when fed grass silage as COM
pared to corn silage.
4. Any stands of hay that are weedy
can be used to good advantage Cattle
will eat any type of weed that we
have had any experience with, and
the weed seed is not returned to the
ground in a condition that will permit
it to terminate.
5. Harvesting may proceed in wealth
er that would be too wet for haying
operations.
We have no basis by which to ac-
curately compare yields per acre as
compared with other silage crops. How
ever, we are satisfied that the bronze
alfalfa silage is better adapted to our
particular operation than any that we
have tried to date.
It must be kept in mind that in order
to accomplish fermentation some agent
must be added We have found ground
barley very satisfactory When we fill
our trench silos we keep load of
ground barley next to the silO and
throw a few ShOvelfuls on each load
of silage. No mixing is necessary other
than the unloading and scattering proc
ess used in this type of silage opera

it could produce 100 inches. Thirteen
horsepower are required to operate
the pump. However. the firm which did
the installation recommended using a
Is horsepower motor. They said it was
cheaper to use an oversize motor than
an overloaded one. Last year it cost
$126 to operate the pump That's only
rs cents an acre.
The entire cost of the project well,
pump, motor. electric power line and
concrete flun1e, was 100 The in
creased alfalfa and wheat yield the
past two years has covered the cost.
Now that have dependable supply
of water and can get it on the fields
any time / want it, I have been able
to fertilize more heavily. Applying $50
pounds of phosphate per acre has
raised alfalfa yields to 31k tons per
acre, an increase of one ton. Wheat
ran As to SO bushels per acre last year.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-08-01

WE HAVE BEEN putting up corn
silage since 1927. Because of the high
altitude here and the danger of frost,
corn is not too reliable crop Irriga-
ton water is not in dependable supply
throughout the growing season, the
average run being over with by July 1.
Since corn must be fairly mature to
make good silage, we've been expert
menting with other Silage crops in an
attempt to find a suitable substitute.
In 1947 we made our first attempt
to harvest alfalfa for silage. Last year
we abandoned the growing of corn en-
tirely and harvested practically the
entire first cutting of hay by putting
it in solos.
In our use of alfalfa and bronze sill
age we have had these results:
/. We have never had any digestive
trouble, including bloat, when feeding
grass silage. 1t is not quite as palatable
as corn silage, but we have had no
difficulty in getting animals weighing
800 pounds to eat at least Is pounds
per day.
2. Cattle fed this kind of silage will
readily eat enough additional grain
to make up for whatever nutrient de-
ficiencies grass siIage might have, as
compared to corn Silage.

l4-Foot Strips Reduce
Blowing in Light Soil

does away with the short turns neces-
sary when working straight strips. We
harvest with a 15-foOt combine so once
down the strip is all that is necessary.
This type of stripping holds snow much
better. The field was covered with snow
the spring of 1854 and this spring when
the other fields were practically bare.
In 1854 bought a flexible tillage inn
plement that could be adjusted to the
width of the strip. Before we got it set
right, with the help of the dealer, /
was beginning to wonder if we were
going to do our part to cut down the
wheat surplus.
The yield on this field was equal to
my other fields in 1858. However, in
1854 there was considerable damage to
the crop caused by winds and rain,
which reduced the yield to about half
of what it normally would have been.

but I claim there's no finer hour
than when we have summer
shown. Just think of all the joyous
things a gentle August rainfall
brings: the smell of ozone in the air,
sparkling freshness everywhere,
a cleaner look on ev'ry hand, a
brighter green across the land, and
best of all, a chance for me to set
and rest awhile, by gee.

that weather fates provide for me
to quit my work outside. Her rant

THE SOIL in the southwest corner of
Daniels county where we farm is light
and sandy. Wind and sheet erosion have
always been problem.
In 1858 I laid out a half-section field

strong enough the two years I've farmed
by this method to really test it, but
there should be very little blowing
Melting snow in the spring of 1854
caused the most severe water erosion
problems / can remember, however,
there was only one small section of
this field that showed any damage.
The strips run around the field, which
