The first feed the lamb gets should
be about two ounces of first milk either

After the lamb is a couple of DAYS

| Learned How
To Save Buns
By STELLA LUCIER
Fergus County

LANDING SEASON is now full
upon us. Landing means that there will
be some ''bums." The owners of small
flOcks are eager to save the BUNS
and the job of taking care of them
usually falls to the rancherS wife if
there are no children.
For the past few years I've tried my
hand at the business: When I first
started to care for the little fellows.
knew nothing about the ways of sheep
and I thoroughly disliked them. But l
tried and, in trying, found sheep quite
interesting and likable. Some of the
ewes remind me of people-not peo-
pie, just women.
The first spring I lost third of the
buns that tried to raise. Since then,
I usually have 100 per cent bum"
crop at shipping time. Maybe what
have learned about raising them will
help someone else.
Three important things in the care
of lambs are cleanliness, regularity

Phosphate Boosted
Yield SO Bushels
By ANDY RYCHKUM
income County

MOSTLY BECAUSE it makes the
wheat stool more and mature faster,
l am pretty well convinced from my
experience in the last two years that
fertilizing spring wheat with phosphate
can increase yields on my farm from
to bushels an acre.
started experimenting first in 1854.
I bought half ton of O-42-O treble
SuperphOsaphate and tried it on some
strips at 40, 80 and 100 pounds to the
acre. I applied it with the seed, using
an attachment for my double disc
drill.
That year we had quite a bit of rain
in early June but it was dry the latter
part of June, and all of July and Au-
gust. From the time the plants were
2 inches high there was noticeable
difference in the treated areas. The
grain was greener and it grew faster
and the root system was stronger.
The result was that, when the dry
Weatner NIT, the tertlllZed grain was in
the dough stage, while the unfertilized
was only in the blossom stage. The
crop was custom combined, so 1 had
no way of measuring differences in
yield, but am confident it was consid-
cradle.
Last year 1 applied different rates
again on most of my fields. From the
results 1 would say that from % to 80
pounds is the best rate for my farm.
Grain fortified at this rate stooled well,
developed fast and averaged about q
bushels to the acre. Overall average
for the farm was 20 bushels.

Spraying Saves
Alfalfa Seed
By CLINT STRANAHAN
CbOHteaH County

| HAVE BEEN raising alfalfa seed
on Missouri river bottom for the
last 20 years. In that time almost every
bug that lives on alfalfa has found his
way here. Some years it seems as if
they all come for a visit at the same
time. Nearly all of these insects are
controlled by the modern spray meth
DDS.
When several kinds, sdch as alfalfa
weevil, lygus, grasShopper, blister beet
lie and aphid, come all at once, it costs
more to spray because the insecticide
must be stronger IN order to kill the
more hardy ones such as the aphid
and weevil. Two years ago we had
heavy infeStatioh of many of these
pests. 1t cost $3.50 per acre to have
local flying service spray with toxa-
phene. The bugs disappeared in a hurry
and the seed crop was saved. This year
dieldrin was used in the aerial spray
1t proved to be just as effective as
toxaphene and the cost was so per
cent less.
Montana State College entomologists
recommended that we spray the al
talfa fields in the spring as soon as the
shoots get above ground to control
alfalfa weevil. We used dieldrin at a
cost of 81 per acre. sprayed with our
own outfit, and increased the weight
OF the hay crop nearly half ton per
acre. On these fields there were no
weevllS to eat on the leaves, while on
small check field near by the leaves
showed heavy weevil damage. The hay
crop was cut before the tenth of June
and the fields produced a good seed
crop.
For small fields we find that it costs
much less to spray with our own ma
chine. In fields on 100 acres or more
the plane is by far the better, even
though it costs more per acre. 1t does
not knock down the plants, gives
more even coverage, stays on the plants
longer because oil is used in the mix
ana can be done between dawn and
breakfast time when we all, including
the bugs, have good appetite.

We Prefer Goats
to Milk Cows
By MRS. HAROLD WAGNER
Rosebud County

WE MIXED COWS for a good many
years but now we prefer our nanny
goat to any good milk COW. We can't
understand why so many persons dis
like goats and goat milk. The nanny
is very clean animal, fastidious about
her feed and very gentle. The billies
are the ones that smell and should
not run with the nannies.
When our nanny first freshens she
gives as much as three quarts while
grass is green. Her milk is very good
and 1 have made butter and cheese
from it. At milking time she is always
ready and waiting with her feet up
on the gate as shown in the picture.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-04-01

FROM NOW ON I will never have
one acre unfertilized.
AS result of my studies and expert
ence I believe that I can figure the
fertility needs and the results for a
given application of fertilizer with al
most mathematical certainty.
l own and operate a 2,385-acre dry
land farm in the famous Blue Creek
area south of Billings and have always
been interested in soils. My brother,
who is a petroleum engineer, has been
able to run accurate soil tests for me.
With these tests. l ran some curves on
a scale and determined exactly what
and how much l needed to apply in
order to bring my anticipated yield
up to the figure I considered financially
feasible.
Fertility Index
According to my scales my fertility
index is Is per cent. This is determined
by multiplying the per cent of available
nitrogen by the per cent of PHOSPHORUS
by the per cent of potash. Assuming a
100 per cent possible yield of IT'S
bushels per acre, my best possible
yield without fertilizer would be "A
bushels per acre. Believe it or not, in
1854 the field from which the test was
made produced "A bushels per acre with
no fertilizer.
On the ground to be in wheat in 1855,
tests and computations showed that
without fertilizer the yield could be
expected to be about % bushels per
acre, but by raising the fertility index
by adding nitrogen, which was the low
est per cent available, 1 figured the
yield could be boosted to So bushels per
acre.
1 therefore purchased 5 tons of SO
per cent nitrogen, which was applied
to 60 acres with a 12-foot spreader
pulled directly behind the drill. I
seeded at the rate of 1 bushel of seed
to the acre Sept 10, 1854. After that
field was planted I still had about 900
pounds of fertilizer left. This I applied
to other strips at rates of Is pounds,
so pounds and rs pounds to the acre.

taxpayers, since secondary school
construction costs run higher
than do elementary. To meet
this cost, the school board will
allot more than two out of every
three dollars from this years
capital budget for secondary
school construction.
Aware that it's educational
system can be only as good as
its teachers. the school board
probably will seek salary in
creases on all levels. The present
teachers scale provides range
of from $4,000 to SIS, $50, depend
ing on experience and degree
held. DR.. Norris would like to
raise all minimum scales an
average of $670.
The county scale is roughly
comparable to that of other
nearby jurisdiction, but lower
than the Districts.
In addition to its public school
system. 80 private schools APP
proved by the state Superinten-
dent of schools operate within
the county. These range from
small nursery schools to estab-
lished prep" schools.
The county also runs an adult
education program supplement-
ing the curriculum at Montgom-
cry Junior College. which is par
tally supported by the county.
Last year more than 5000 resi-
dents paid SIS per course to study
subjects ranging from arc weld
ing to modern languages at 81
centers in public school build
ings.
Education is a big thing in
Montgomery County-big in ia
cilities and opportunities, big in
cost, big in problems,
