Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-10-15

Results of recent USDA-State re
search on pasture management show
northwestern farmers how they can
produce more grass-legume forage on
irrigated land.
These experiments were undertaken
because of reported difficulties farmers
in eight or nine of the northwestern
states had in maintaining a proper
graSs-legume relationship in irrigated
pastures. This work, on pastures seed
ed to mixture of Ladino clover and
orchardgrass, was carried on for three
years (1952-5N at the Washington Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Moses
Lake, Wash.
Three factors were found to be inn
portant in developing good, high-yield-
ing pastures with the right grass-legume
balance:
1. Proper frequency of irrigation.
2. Several applications of fertilizer i'm
the right amounts.
3. Waiting until the plants are about
IL inches high before clipping.
Frequent irrigations, at intervals of
7 to IL days, got the best results. The
tests indicated that irrigation should
be done at time when the surface
soil layers (d0wn to 10 inches) cor
tanned 90 % 0s per cent Of the avail
able soil moisture. This practice pro-

Improved Management Practices
Give Higher Pasture Yields

duced almost a fourth more forage
than irrigating when only Is to 20 per
cent of the available moisture remained
in the top is inches of soil.
Clipping height also was found to
have definite influence on yield Cut
ting when the plants had reached IL
inches, rather than more frequent clip
ping at the 6-inch height, produced
about 1890 pounds more forage per
acre in 1853, and about $500 pounds
more in 1854
It was also found that nitrogen in the
right amount does not inhibit clover
growth, but helps produce more clover
and more forage. However, the expert
ment confirmed that care must be
taken not to use too much nitrogen.
Application in excess of SO pounds &C
celerate grass growth to the point where
growth of clover is retarded.
Nitrogen applications in excess of
200 pounds per acre produced forage
composed of only 81 per cent clover,
but plots receiving nitrogen in amounts
of SO pounds or less produced forage
containing 80 to 40 per cent clover.
The most satisfactory rate for apply
ing nitrogen In these tests-1OO pounds
IL three applications produced a total
yield OF 10000 pounds of forage per
acre, 81 per cent Of which was clover.

pfete recovery may take long time.
The illness would probably be over
looked i'm a beef or swine herd ON pas
ture.
The disease may escape attention
altogether in mild cases. Even in the
mildest forms, abortions may occur.
Sows usually abort to weeks before
term. Cows may abort at any stage of
pregnancy.
Laboratory Tests
A diagnosis of Ieptospirosis is based
upon the history, symptoms, and autop-
sy findings that should be confirmed in
the laboratory. Laboratory tests may
include animal incubation and bacte-
rioIogic. histopathoIogic and serologic
examinations. The serologic or blood
test of the herd is less time consuming
and less expensive and will promptly
ascertain the presence or absence of
the disease in the herd
In all cases of suspected leptospirosis,
that correct diagnosis can be made
and proper treatment administered.
There are several diseases of swine and
cattle that appear very similar to Iepto-
spirosis.
The best way to prevent 1eptospirosis
is to use extreme caution to avoid intro
ducing infected animals into healthy
herd. 1t is now good management to
require the animals be blood-tested be-
fore they are bought It is far less ex-
pensive to keep the disease out of the
herd than to eliminate it after the herd
has become infected If the disease be-
comes more widespread in our area, it
may be advisable to raise requirements
rather than run the risk of buying the
disease.

Growers Get Better Prices, Buyers
Better clips Through Montana's p
Wool Market Pools

able to get wool of various grades in
large quantities.
Park County Pool
G. E. Morrison, ecretary-treasurer
of the Park County Wool Growers AS
ISOLATION, says members have become
quality conscious in recent years. Oc-
casionally, he says, the firm that buys
their clip will notify the officers of
the pool that certain grower has been
careless in tagging his sheep. The mat
ter is brought the growers attention
and the situation usually isn't repeated.
Much of the groundwork in forming
new wool pools has been laid by the
Montana Wool Growers Association AS
sistance is given to groups in drawing
up bylaws. Members are informed of
the function and operation of a pool.
After pool is organized the Montana
Wool Laboratory is contacted for in
formation on marketing and manage
ment practices that will lead to better
quality clips. In addition to helping
new pools get off to good start, the
Wool Growers Association, Montana Ex-
pertinent Station and the Extension
Service team together to conduct
schools and forums for growers in old,
established pools. Wool pool officials
report that this public information pro-
gram has been of immeasurable aid in
helping growers manage their flocks
more efficiently and to understand
marketing and grading of wool.
Popular Program
AS evidence of the popularity of
these schools, Jim Drummond, director
of the Montana Wool Laboratory, and
a team of sheep and wool specialists
presented their program to 81 wool
pools last year. That's an increase of
IL over the previous year. Tn 1852 talks
and demonstrations were given to men,
bers of nine pools, and in 1851 only
three schools were held
One of the detectives of this educa-
tional program has been to get growers

Value OF StilbestrO1
Confirmed In Tests

STEERS FATTENED on stilbestrOl
gain at an increased rate, and the meat
quality is not adversely affected, pre-
lininary tests at Beltsville, Md, reveal.
The experiments were undertaken
last May following widespread reports
that using stilbestroI as a growth
stimu1ant for feedlot animals resulted
in poor quality carcasses. No evidence
supporting such reports were found in
the limited tests at BeItsvilIe, nor i'm
Stilbestr0l-feeding studies by expert

Ten Hereford and crossbred Angus
Hereford steers weighing about 900
pounds were on feed for 80 days. Five
of these animals were fed stilbestrol
in mixed-protein feed at the APP
proved rate-1O milligrams per day
per animal for steers weighing not less
than 500 pounds. The other five were
used as controls.
Steers on stilbestroI gained an aver

three-month test.
AT the end of the feeding period both
groups graded low choice. Slaughter
tests revealed that the group receiving
no stilbestrol was slightly fatter This
finding agrees with results obtained by
state experiment stations, which have
indicated that stilbestroI tends to give
increased lean rather than fat There
was no significant difference in the
meat of the two groups of steers. Mar
bling, intramuscular fat and water con-
tent of lean from both groups were
practically the same. Flesh of the cat
tie fed stilbestrol was at least as firm

10 think in terms of net return per head,
rather than price per pound. Growers
i'm one section of the state may be
alarmed to find that a much higher
price per pound was paid to growers in
another section. 1t is pointed out that
fine wool brings a higher per pound
price than coarse wool. However, a
fine fleece is much lighter. Therefore,
it's possible for heavy, coarse-fibre
fleece to bring as great cash return
per head as light, fine fleece.
Core Testing
The method of core testing wool for
shrinkage developed by the wool lab
has resulted in greater returns to most
Montana growers. Core testing is used
by most producers to help them deter
mine the grease price of their wool.
Others sell on the Boston clean price.
Members of the wool lab staff show a
few instances where this has not
worked to the advantage of the grower,
but in most cases it has shown that

than was estimated.
Before core testing was practiced,
Montana wool was bought on the basis
of a So per cent average shrink. But
now the average shrink has been estab-
lished at about 81 per cent Last year
this brought Montana wool growers an
increase of 1925, 900 for each accepted
/ per cent decrease in shrinkage.
Wool Shows
The high quality of Montana range
and farm fleeces is being brought to
the attention of the wool trade through
exhibits at state and national wool
shows. Last year % fleeces were en-
tered in the National Wool Show in
Denver. Nineteen of these neeces re-
ceived awards Twenty-one out of 81
1eeces entered in the Second Annual
National Wool Show in Ogden, Utah,
asst August placed.
With volume marketing, competitive
bidding and better prepared, HIGHER
quality clips, Montana growers have
food reason to believe that they'll re-
.eive the top price for their product
ZACH year. Under the new wool program
where the grower receives an incentive
'ayment based on the price he gets for
lis wool and lamb, Montana producers
an expect to make even more on their
heep and wool operations.
