THEATRE

THEATRE
Clap hands for an outstand-
ing and certainly successful
play which we were privileged
to witness at the Hartman
thearte in Columbus on Thurs
day evening. Only an absorb
ing performance by all hands
and especially Mr.. Larry
Parks could overcome the NUT
tered complaints of the audi
ence with reference to the lack
of courtesy by personnel and
the actual SWeat-box condl-
tions of the theatre itself.
At $3.50 a copy it would ap-
pear that the theatre-goer
would be entitled to better
conditions than those offered
at this antiquated, airless and
practically waterless hall of
drama.
WRITING
Well, General Harry Vaughn

MEDICINE
The medical profession admits
that ii doesn't know any cure
for the common cold. But the

PROMOTION

INVESTMENT
You can buy a 49 per cent

Weeyil Control Plus Fertilizer
Boost Alfalfa Yield to 6 Tons
By TX WEBER. Freuont COMM, Wp0ming

WHEN I BOUGHT my ranch in 1850
it was badly rundown Alfalfa weevils
had reduced the alfalfa yield to about
one ton per acre of poor quality hay.
Now after four years of insect control
werk, along with phosphate fertilizer,
we are getting 1850 tons from 178
acres, or close to six tons per acre from
two cuttings. We find that the third
crop isn't far enough along to be har-
vested, and the yield seems to be bet
ter the following year if the third crop
is pastured in September.
The first year I treated for weevils
/ used an old potato buster with "a
foot boom, equipped with a canvas
apron. This method took too long and
we didn't get them at the critical time
One field was not treated. The yield,
however, was increased to 400 tons that
year.
The following year I used a ground
sprayer and found it worked much bet
ter. waited until the alfalfa was about
six inches high, thinking that we'd get
better kill if the weevils were out,
but our county agent. Bill Duncan, said
the best time to control them was just

gun. So now, although my pigs amt
due until another month or two, that
crazy birds got half-grown shoats
before he's even sowed his oats;
and while I'm sure Mirandy Jane
amt yet decided to complain that
it's high time for me to fix the
brooder house and get some chicks,
my neighbours birds look like they
may start laying eggs most any day.
Perhaps such enterprise will win
old neighbor more than Wen take
in; but, golIy, think what he's been
through, the painful chores he's had
to do. Right after Christmas he be-
gan to work just like crazy man,
a-fixing pens for narrowing and then
he sat up shivering to watch each
newborn litter so they'd stay alive
at ten below. He put up breeders
New Years Day and nursed his
chicks the same darn way; and
though he laughs at me, by jung,
cause I claim farming starts in
spring, I wouldn't ape him on a bet,
that goofy guy amt thawed out yet!

before the alfalfa turns green.
In 1853 I tried aerial spraying. My
neighbOr, Jack Wegen, sprayed his al
falfa on April 10 and got almost 100
per cent kill was unable to get my
fields treated until April TO- While the
results were not quite as satisfactory
as Wegen's, our alfalfa yield went up to
800 tons that year. also applied 80
pounds of available phosphate to about
two-thirds of my crop land that year.
This year I plan on fertilizing the rest
of the ranch and will check to see if
any of the fields that were first treated
need additional phosphate.
: Last year we again used aerial spray
ing at cost of $3.50 per acre. We got
the fields treated about the middle of
April, just as the alfalfa was beginning
to- turn green. The increased yields
show that it pays to control insects and
to- fertilize.
I winter about 800 head of cattle and
have been able to sell nearly half my
hay and I still have plenty for my own
use. The quality of the forage is much
better and it requires less good feed
to winter an animal.

BirdsfOOt TrefOil Looks Good
For Our Irrigated Pasture
By FRANK ROWE, Cbouteau County

three pastures with electric fences, we
are able to practice rotation grazing.
In the spring we fertilize with phos-
plate and nitrogen, then irrigate. This
gives us early spring pasture for the
cows and calves and gives the native
range chance to get & good start
before the cattle are turned out If it
looks as if wen be short of hay we
can irrigate in the fall and cut crop
of hay off the pasture.
Fewer Cows, More Beef
In the spring of 1858 we lost lot Of
hay and pasture land to the floods,
which made it necessary to reduce our
COW herd We are building back up
now and plan on running fewer but
better quality cattle. In the long run
we figure Wen have more beef and will
be able to do a better job of maintaining
our ranges and pasture.
intermediate wheatgrass has been
found to do well on hillsides and on
poorer land. Consequently we plan on
taking some of the marginal land out
of wheat production and seeding it to
grass. BY raising barley and oats on
diverted acres and by increasing our
grass and beef production, we find that
the wheat allotment program causes
US no hardships.

Farm, Ranch Experiences
We Tried Soybeans Last
Year With Fair Success
By TED SCHWINDEN Roosevelt County

LAST SPRING we purchased 20
bushels of soybeans from a friend in
southern Minnesota They were of the
BIackhawk and Capital varieties.
We seeded approximately 20 acres Of
bottom land, half on summer fallow and
half on spring blowing. We used a reg
ular grain drill, spacing the rows 81
inches apart by plugging the cups. The
beans were seeded on May IL after we
had planted all other crops and the dan
ger of frost was at minimum.
We cultivated only once in the latter
part of June. BY then the beans were
about a foot high and the foliage was so
thick it virtually covered the ground.
The July drought which occurred in
this area seemed to have little or no
effect on the sOybeans Growth and
pod development continued into August
when rain fell again. BY then the aver
age height of the Blackhawk beans was
about "a inches, with some plants meas
uring AZ inches. The Capital variety
was perhaps six inches shorter and less
bushy. The BIackhawk beans mature
about 10 days later than the Capital
BY the end of August the Capital
beans were beginning to show signs of
ripening, but the others remained
green. We probably should have cut
the Blackhawk beans for hay but we
wanted to see if they would mature The
first killing frost in mid-September
froze the plants and in about week
the Capital beans were ready for cut
ting. Nearly all the leaves had fallen
off, leaving the bare stalk and the pod
clusters. We harvested them with
seven-foot pulI-type combine. 1t was
necessary to cut low so as not to leave
pods or shell them on the cutter bar.
About a week later we were able to
cut the Blackhawk beans; the delay be-
ing caused by their lack of maturity
at the time of the frost.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-04-01

The Capital beans averaged about Is
bushels per acre, with some harvesting
loss. The Blackhawks averaged about
five bushels, but there were no beans
in most of the pods because they froze
before maturity. We have tested the
termination of the Capital beans and it
was good. The Blackhawks, despite
some green beans in the sample ger
minated about IS per cent.
From this single years experience it
appears that an early maturing soy

LAST SPRING we seeded a three
acre experimental plot in birdsfoot
trefoiI We were looking for a nom
bIoating legume to use in irrigated
pastures.
1t was seeded on land that had been
summer fallowed once. We used a fur
row drill and planted about three
pounds per acre in rows % inches apart,
/ to III inches deep. No nurse crop was
used. The ground was sprinkled, but
this would not have been necessary
because there was sufficient moisture.
We got a good stand, along with a
few Russian thistles. In the fall we let
our bulls Craze the plot The way they
went after the birdsfoot trefoil proved
that it is highly palatable and there
was no bloating.
The plant derives its name from the
shape of the seed pod that looks like
a birds foot. BY planting it in rows it
can be cultivated and harvested easier
for seed. However, when planting again
we plan on using a. grass attachment
The seed was the Empire strain, pur-
chased from a Lewistown seedhouse.

We have also reseeded l2O acres of

bean can be grown in this area for seed,
hay or silage. They do not present any
real problems as far as adaptation to
a wheat farm. They can be seeded and
harvested with regular equipment but
should be cultivated at least twice to
keep down the weeds until the bean
plants have matured to the bushy stage.
