NEARLY 400 HEAD of fat cattle were
exhibited in the first annual Glendive
Spring Exposition March % to "a. Grow
ers from most of the eastern counties
of Montana as well as several from
North Dakota were represented, but a
large portion of the stock was from
feedIots in the Glendive area. Red
Saunders, secretary of the ex-
position, says fair officials were graft
fled with the response shown by feeders
in the area, and that many more feed
ers have indicated their intentions to
show fat cattle at next years fair.
Five years ago a feeder show for pro-
ducers in the Glendive area would have
been quite impossible. Cattle feeding at
that time just wasn't significant part
of the farm economy. But today with
over 10000 acres under irrigation along
the lower Yellowstone River on the Buff
falo Rapids project, with lending agen-
cies eager to extend credit to operators
for expanding their livestock programs,
with adequate supplies of high quality
roughage and feed grains, with favor
able markets both to the east and west,
farmers in the Glendive area are look
ing toward an expanding agricultural
economy based on livestock feeding.
Beets Cash Crop
The average farm on the Buffalo
Rapids project is around 100 acres.
Sugar beets is the main cash crop,
raised in rotation with alfalfa, grain,
corn and pasture L. c. (Pete) Terrett,
agricultural specialist, estimates that
about so per cent of the farms on the
Buffalo Rapids project are feeding live
stock at present and that the number
of stock on feed is about Is per cent of
the total potential. The average farm
will be able to feed from 80 to 35 head,
he says.
Home grown feeds, irrigated pasture,
alfalfa, beet tops, barley, oats and
limited amount of corn, forms the basic
fattening ration. The feeding period
runs from $50 to 100 days. In that time
cattle can be brought up to condition
for slaughter. It's felt that very few
head of warmed up cattle will end up
in midwest feedlots for final finishing.
Terrett says that operators on the
Buffalo Rapids project "can feed in
competition with the Corn Belt" He
also predicts that there will be a
marked increase in the number of
lambs fed, since 20 to Is per cent of

Livestock Feeding Is Major
Trend IN Clendiye Area
By RAY ONION, Roving Reporter

the gain on lambs is on roughage clean
UP in the fall. Some growers will UNI
doubtedly add hogs to their livestock
program, he states.
Markets Through Livestock
One of the new feeders located along
the lower Yellowstone is Doug Holmes.
His father first farmed the land in the
2O's. Holmes says that practically moth
ing was made off the land prior to the
development of irrigation He feels that
cattle in the feedlot is his best cash
crop, that he gets better return from
the products of his farm by feeding cat
tie than by selling them.
Holmes is starting slowly in the feed
ing business until he learns more about
it. This year he's feeding "a head and
plans to increase the number eventu-
ally to SO, with an additional so head
kept on pasture to be fed as 2-year-o1ds.
When the cattle are on full feed the
daily ration consists of 8 pounds of
rolled barley with 10 per cent molasses,
pounds of ground ear corn and 10
pounds of alfalfa. About midway
through the feeding period 2 pounds of
stilbesteroI feed was added to the ra-
ton, which, of course, is bought from a
feed house. Bloat occurred in only one
ANIMAL and Holmes believes it was a
chronic condition with the steer. since
the rest of the stock showed no diges-
tive disorders.
Cost 4S Cents a Day
He estimates his feed costs at 48 cents
a day per head. Next year Holmes plans
on buying scale so he can get an oc-
curate check on rate of gain.
Adam Buxbaum, Holmes renter, is
feeding 80 head on corn silage, barley
and alfalfa. He also feeds lambs and
turns them into the beet fields in the
fall for roughage cleanup.
The Yellowstone River provides am
pie water for all irrigation needs. Water
users pay $5.65 to irrigate each acre of
land. OF that amount, $4.65 is for the
operation and maintenance of the prof.
ect and 81 to retire the costs of de-
veloping the project, to be spread over
a 6O-year period.

fident that growers will be able to main

Readers Clearing House
BASEMENT?

MRS. F. M. H., HylttSUille)
I would like to know the ad-
visibility of putting a base
ment under our house. We
have brick rambler which has
a forced hot-air heating sys-
tenn. Since we have no base
ment, and probably because
it was cheaper, the builder
put the heat ducts in the attic
with the vents high on the
walls near the ceiling. This
is not too satisfactory since
heat rises anyway and it is
practically impossible to heat
the lower half of the rooms.
Oddly enough, we have quite
an excavation under the house
and probably with some dig
ging could have the basement
added. We are wondering if
adding the basement, dropping
the furnace into the basement
and changing the ducts to the
bottom of the rooms would be
prohibitive. We have d small
utility room which houses the
stationary tubs, the water
heater and meter, and the
furnace. The pipes for these
various things run under the
house directly through the
middle of the air-space and
would also have to be moved
if a basement were added. I
hope any readers who have
encountered such a situation
will give us some much needed
advice.

Small Groin Weeds
Con Be Controlled

Weed problems in small grain
production are on the increase
but don't despair. Many OF these
weeds can be controlled, accord
ing to w. G. WestmoreIand, ex-
tension weed control specialist at
State College.
Grain fields should be checked
for weeds and something done
about them, at the proper time,
Westmoreland added. Oats,
wheat, barley. or rye, should be
well-tillered or "stooled" but the
young stems or stools" should
not have joints formed.
At the proper stage of growth
for spraying, the grain will US
ually be from four to eight inches
tall. Treatment too early or too
late can lead to reduced yields.
And if you've had a weed pro-
blem in your small grain before,
you can expect trouble this year.
Ragged robin, Vetch, mustard.
blessed thistle and similar weeds
can be controlled in their present
seeding stage with about rs
cents worth of 2, AID per acre.
Ii the weed problem includes corn
cookie or dock. the chemical
cost will be in the enighborhood
of Sl.25 per acre for 2. AID.
Spray equipment should be
thoroughly checked before spray
ing starts Westmoreland said.

Fresh Paint
Will Give Your
House New Look

If you want to transform your
house into a beautiful home, try
painting the walls.
According to Pauline E. Cor
don, State College extension Spe-
cialiSt in housing and house fur
nishing, paint is generally the
most satisfactory finish when the
walls serve as a background for
furniture. lamps. pictures. mir
rors and accessories. There are
on the market today, many types
of wall finishes and tools for ap-
plying that make painting easy:
You can do it yourself and you
need not be an expert.
Miss Gordon cautions. however,
that about 95 per cent Of all
paint failures are due to improper
surface preparation. The most
important step in painting is the
preparation of walls so that the
paint will have a solid foundation.
Paint will not stick to grease or
moisture. Since dirty walls US
ually contain greasy SCOT, they
must be washed with a mild soap
and water and rinsed with one
quart of vinegar in one gallon of
water. Or they may be thoroughly
cleaned with trisodium phosphate
solution. It's important, too, that
walls be thoroughly dried be-
fore they're painted. There are
commercial preparations avail
able that will distintegrate grease.
If you don't dust walls we'll

To determine the proper under

Gently at the farm of Guy Robin
son of Union community, Lin

A group of around 40 persons
heard John L. Gray. head of ex-
tension forestry at State College,
explain that a nearby one-acre
stand of 34-year- trees was
worth about S375 in sawtimbel
and pulpwood; that if the trees
were cut now and replanted, by
1878 this replanting would be
worth about S125 per acre based
on 1855 pulpwood and SaWtimber
prices.
Thus Robinson would receive
around $500 per acre on a clear
cutting and replanting program.
However. if he decided to grow

This shows that Robinson could

Extension forestry specialist
George Smith pointed out that
farmers should pick trees to be
cut on the basis of their perform
ance rather than just cutting the
largest one.
