1t Pays to Produce
Quality Alfalfa Hay

It Pays TO Produce
Quality Alfalfa Hay
Haying time will soon be here
and again I'd like to call attention
to the Importance of cutting al
falfa at just the right time If the
hay crop is to be of the highest
quality. Experiments carried on
at the Huntley Branch Station
have demonstrated that dairymen
can cut their feed costs by feed
ing high quality hay.
In these tests all of the cows
received the same ration except
for one lot which received alfalfa
hay grading u. S. No. ! and an
other lot which was fed No. 8
grade hay. The cows on the bet
ter hay ate 8 pounds more dry
matter per day and produced
more than half a. pound more
milk daily. To obtain the same
level of production, the cows on
the poorer hay would have had
to have about 4 pounds of sup
plement to bring their energy in
take up to that of the COWS fed
No. 1 hay. Figuring the supple
ment at so per ton as added ex-
pense, the extra cost for a rs cow
herd over a 200-day period would
amount to some $500.
The time to cut alfalfa for best
hay quality is when the plants
are one-tenth to one-quarter in
bloom. If cutting is delayed until
the plants mature, the stems be-
come woody and the leaves -
which contain most of the pro-
tein, minerals and vitamins-fall
off. OF course the weather does
not always cooperate at haying
time and in this case ensiling
the crop is a good way to get
a high quality feed.
With a much shorter alfalfa
hay crop in sight this year as a
result of winter kill and antici-
pated insect damage you should
do everything you can to obtain
both quality and quantity pro-
duction.

Watch Crested Wheat
Closely for Proper
Cuttinr Time

Putting up crested w~heatgrass
hay of good quality depends - as
with other forage crops - on
cutting at just the proper stage
of growth. AS this is the most
important hay crop next to alfal-
ia raised in the county consid-
cradle attention should be given
to its management as quality is
of prime Importance.
Too often ranchers delay cut
ting the crested wheat until too
late and by then 1t has lost much
of its nutritive value. Tests at the
Central Montana Branch station
The Sidney herald., 1956-06-07

at Moccasin show that crested
wheatgrass will have only half
as much protein content If cut
ten days to two weeks after the
bloom stage.
You may get a little more tom
mage by waiting a few, days to
cut, but it will not offset the
loss of protein content in the hay.
The right time to cut crested
wheatgrass for hay is as soon as
the grass heads out and has good
height and just as 1t begins to
bloom. The plant is in the bloom
stage when it has small yellow
pollens around the seeds of the
plant. 1t may take close obser-
walton to see the pollen on the
seed heads, but when 1t Is there
the time is right for cutting.
Weed Control Ia Flax
In last weeks column we list
ed a few suggestions on spraying
for broadleaved weeds in small
grains. Let's concentrate on flax
this week as it is another crop
that has been successfully spray
ed for weed control over a period
of years.
Flax has the peculiar charac-
teristic of being able to tolerate
selective sprays for both annual
broadleaved and narrowleaved
weed with wild oats excepted.
Here then is weed control recon-
mendations for flax which we
received from Eugene Heikes, Ex-
tension Weed Specialist at Mon
tana State College:
F1ax-BrOdaleaved Weeds
/. Use a maximum 8 pound of
an anime type 2,4-D or MOP
per acre. Do not use an ester
formulation of either MOP or
AID on flax.
2. Apply only when weeds are
young and flax plants are two to
five inches tall.
8. Use dinitro ~selective herbi-
cides at rates recommended by
the manufacturers. Apply to
flax on warm days.
Flax-Pigeon Grass
Green OF Yellow FoxtaiI)
And Barnyard Grass
/. Use five pounds 90 percent
Tea per acre.
2. The smaller the grass is the
better, but flax should be at least
inches tall.
3. Failure is likely if moisture
move the weed killer into the
soil is not received within a few
days.
4. MOP or 2,4-D for broadleav-
ed annual weed control can be
with tea.

Is Father the
Forgotten
Man,
BY Dave Choate


"Betcha my father can lick
your father" Remember when
you were a lad and used to
stand up for your father, even
to the point of getting into a
battle with some neighboring
boy?
Then your father was a hero.
He was yourideal. You thought
He was your ideal. You thought
world - and you told every
body exactly what you thought
-. Then time marched on and
you grew into manhood and
perhaps became a father your
self. That's the way it's been
since time began.
But here's my question: Do
you still revere your father as
much as you did when you
were a freckle-faced kid? I'm
sure you do, although you may
not go around punching people
in the nose to prove your point.
Fathers Day is coming soon.
It's a wonderful day to do
something nice for him. We are
proudly featuring many gifts
that Fathers will really appre-
ciate. Watches, rings, jewelry
sets such as cuff links and tie
pins, smoking stands, cigarette
cases, Billfolds - oh, we've got
them all - and you can buy
any one on the easiest of credit
terms. Come in today. It's not
too soon to select your Pas
Fathers Day present.

Use a System in
Emptying Grain Bins

Incorrect emptying of farm
granaries can shorten their years
of service just as much as i'm
proper filling.
When grain is removed from
the bin it is best to empty the
center first. If this cannot be
done, then remove a little grain
from n end. This will reduce
the lateral pressure evenly.
1t is lateral pressure on only
one side or one end of a bin that
tends to twist the building out
OF shape. In filling or emptying
a bin, it is best to keep the lat
eral pressure equal on opposite
sides or ends. If this Is not done.
the nails that fasten the siding
to the studs are loosened. In the
case of metal bins, bolts or riv-
cts may loosen up and cause rap
id deterioration.
Round bins, whether made of
steel or wood, are just as subject
to damage from improper filling
and emptying as are square or
rectangular bins. In fact, round
bins have been known to tip over
or collapse completely by being
filled or emptied first from one
side.
Proper filling and emptying will
add years of life to any kind of
grain bin.
