Water and Weeds
In Montana there are over 1000. 600
acres under irrigation. This represents
the most intensively farmed and the
most productive land in the state. Even
though irrigation removes a lot of
hazard from dry farming, there are
other factors which move in. The water
of irrigation systems is an important
carrier of weed seeds.
Not only do many of our perennial
weeds infest large areas in our water
sheds, but they are found growing in
abundance along the canal and ditch
banks of irrigation systems. From such
areas they are continuously fed onto
fields of grain, alfalfa, peas or what
have-yOu. Each farmer has an annual
fight on his hands. Some are successful,
while others are not This will continue
until a concerted effort is taken to
reduce this hazard.
Yes, it costs money to control weeds.
So does it cost to let them grow and
the cost is increasing year by year
Irrigation districts in number of areas
are waging war against weeds by
spraying with 2, 4-D, burning, applying
soil sterilantS and a number of other
ways. But many more districts are
needed to put coordinated program
into effect. What about yours?
Banks LeveIed, Seeded
In some instances, canal banks are
being leveled and seeded down to grass.
Drain ditch banks are also being Ieveled
and even providing a little additional
farm land. Leveling provides roadway
for the ditch rider, movement of We
hicles, machinery and weed spray
equipment. Modern equipment has
sinplified the task of ditch bank level
ing and the cost is not excessive. Call
in contractor and state your propo-
SitiOn to him.
Canal or ditch bank leveling should
be must" with any new construction.
In any case, leveling should be followed
by seeding down to a grass such as
Lincoln Bronze at rate equivalent to
Is pounds per acre. Crested wheat may
also be used alone or in mixture
The important thing is the establish
ment of good competitive crop that
has desirable characteristics.
Not only does a good grass cover
tend to reduce the incidence of estab-
ishment of weeds. but it provides site
