Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-10-01

don't like the idea of being designated
a drouth area when we are not hurt
worse than we are this year"
'"These dry years need not be the
problem they are to many if farmers
and rancherS would plan for a little
reserve of hay and grass all the time
instead of overgrazing. If one bad
year now breaks farmer, he'd better
do something else"
These statements were made by east
ern Montana ranchers in reply to a
QUESTIONABLE sent by Montana Farmer
Stockman to representative ranchers in
counties which were declared drought
disaster areas to permit grazing of soil
banked wheat land. The first state
ment was volunteered by farmer in
Powder River County and the second
by a rancher in McCone County.
We're Prepared
And the statements just about sum up
the findings of the QUESTIONABLE The
replies seemed to add up to something
about like this:
''Yes, it was little drier around
these parts this year than it has been
but we expected it and were prepared"
For instance, 76 per cent of the ranch
erS replying said that their range had
been limited by drought, 50 per cent
said their water supply was limited, Ga
per cent said their hay and forage crops
had been reduced. But 70 per cent said
they had a reserve feed supply and "A
per cent said they had reserve range
and pasture.
AS one rancher put it, ''Our principal
method of meeting drought conditions
is good range condition resulting from
past years of range management. Good
condition range gives greater prOduc-
ton in any year.
Best Insurance
Another said, ''By using my range at
a normal average in the past l have
only the number of cattle that the
range can carry. l will have pasture
to turn my cattle onto next spring,
barring fire. l feel the best insurance
is not overgrazing There is new grass
where grass is left from former years. :"
When asked what they were doing or
going to do to meet short range or
feed conditions the ranchers listed a
wide variety of measures they were
taking. In fact it seems that they are
doing just about everything possible
except one-buying hay. Some are Gull
ing their herds closely, some are buy
ing supplements.
Some are cutting grain and even
weeds for forage, but only few Gust
per cent? said they are buying or
going to buy any hay. Any one with
hay that he plans to hold in hope of
selling it at higher prices to eastern
Montana ranchers will be disappointed
unless an unusually severe winter
greatly increases the need.
CuIIing Herds
Forty-five per cent of the ranchers
replying said they were culling their
herds. One said he was cutting his hero
so per cent, another, 80 per cent, but
most said they were just selling off theil
dry cows and poor producers-just Gull
ing little closer.
Thirty-six per cent said they would
buy commercial supplements such a:
protein pellets. Most planned to feeC
about pounds head per day to theil
cows this winter.

BY JOINT"

Iii there fabulous folks Of the
Twins" Wen. did you all have a
nice week enid did, There are
lots Of events coming to town
now, and l must say 1t is about
time.
Elvs Presley worked over at
both OF the Twins" auditoriums
Sunday afternoon and night. A
lot OF people get Disguised at the
way ne moves his body when he is
trying 70 put over his music But
its all in the way he presents his
work TO his public, who Glamour
for the clown. WIN Jones calls
him the bump and grind artist.
Count Basie's band was the
greatest Sunday night at the
Minneapolis Armory, A lot Of peo-
Pile went there expecting his music
to be on the r 4 b side Of life, but
he is not like that. He's not exact
ly progressive either. His band
plays so nice, and Joe Williams
sang-oh can he sing!
The place was crowded with
people from all walks Of life, and
not to have enjoyed the music Of
the Count, one had to be crazy.
During intermission, Bob Davis
Quartet, a modern jazz band from
the Twins" played some pieces,
and they were really good.
l for one enjoyed every piece Of
music that was PLAYED during the
whole concert dance, and l wish
that more deals would be given in
the near future like this one
Friday night everyone was out
to Excelsior park, and II was fun.
II sure is hard to win the prizes
you want. Most of all-the roller
coaster is the thing
Toni Hughes had a small get
together Saturday night, which
was most fun. The record player
got tired of working for a while,
and decided to rest. There were
more mechanics in the house who
worked on il, and knew nothing
and got nothing, but after a while
the player got tired Of playing cat
and mouse and came on through
like a champ.
The Midnighters viii be hitting
the Twins again in June.
Say, at last someone has finally
decided TO give a much wanted
roller skating party, which will be
in the very near future.
Well, fabulous friends, once
again I must leave the scene and
take off. SO until next week, be
cool. dehs and dates.
