Four I cams Still in Roce
For Women's Golf Title

The first division championship
OF the Women's District Golf
Associations team play remained
a four-team scrap as the sched-
ule passed the halfway mark
yesterday with only 212 points
separating the top four.
Army Navy moved half point
ahead of Argyle's defending
champions and favorites, with
Washington G&CC and Chevy
Chase, both two points back of
Argyle.
The first four weeks of play
have proved that Argyle is in for
more trouble than was antici-
pated. For the next three Tues
days the top four teams all play
each other. and apparently any
OF the four could win it.
Chevy Chase was the only
contender to lose more than one
point yesterday. 1t lost a point

Are Yields Going Up or Down?

answers. The soils of the experimental
plots at Havre and Huntley are Strlk-
ingly different from those at Moccasln.
At Havre the soils were formed from
glacial-deposited material, while at
Huntley they were water-deposited AT
both stations the soils are fine-teXtured
and very deep. The water-holding ca
pacity and nutrient reserve storage ca
pacity are high. Technically, the SOILS
are both classified as clay loans.
At Moccasin the soils are gravelly
clay loans. In addition, these wind
and water-deposited soils are shallow.
Underlying gravel occurs at depths OF
Is to Sc inches. The average depth OF
gravel is about % inches. These soils
may be considered as having lower
water-holding capacity and less plant
nutrient reserves than the soils at
Havre and Huntley.
The reduction in grain yield at Moe
casin from 1909 to 1851 was probably
related to the shallow soil. A shallow,

Handled Lambs
Top Market
BY WILEY FISHERMAN
Blaine COalntp

IN PAST YEARS 1 have wintered
about 1000 head of eve lambs. Last
fall I decided to fatten out a few lambs
using the same system of hand feeding
used with the ewes.
The first point would stress is the
necessity of having plenty of good,
palatable water kept at the proper tenn
perature. Some lambs will drink as
often as six times a day. The 1,4OO
lambs we fattened drank around 5000
gallons of water some days.
Lambs fattened in this area are first
run on beet tops and alfalfa before
being brought into the feedlot. When
it's time to pen them up one should be
careful to take them off beet fields
gradually. By shutting them up in the
feedlot at night with plenty of feed,
then turning them out in the morning
they soon learn that there is better
feed in the pen. When they are per-
manently confined in the drylot it's
very important that they be fed at q
regular time.
These 1,4O0 lambs were on feed fol
~ days and went on the market as
tops.

couraging. Yields of spring wheat have
decreased significantly from 1909 to
1851. In the early years, around 1909
to 1918, the average "a inches of rain
from seeding to harvest could have
been expected to result in a wheat crop
slightly better than 10 bushels to the
acre. However, in 1851, only about Is
bushels could have been produced from
the same amount of moisture. There
has been 3-bushel-per-acre decrease.
In view of the fact that wheat va
rieties have been improved since 1909
and modern machinery and chemical
weed control have come into use, it
would seem that the yield decrease at
Moccasin was caused by loss of soil
fertility.
Furthermore, as rainfall increases,
the difference between the yields of
the first and last 1O-year cropping peri
cd increases. 1t seems that at Mecca
sin, if rainfall is high, soil factors are
now reducing the maximum yield pO-
tential.
Soil differences may hold some of the

its plant nutrients at a greater speed
than heavier, deeper soils like those
at Havre and Huntley. The slightly
higher summer rainfall at Moccasin
might also have increased the loss of
fertility of the gravelly soil.
Furthermore, loss of surface soil by
wind erosion during the sos was prob
ably more detrimental to wheat pro-
duction on the shallow MOccasin soils
than on the heavier, deeper soils at
the other stations.
Cropping Decreased Organic Matter
Another interesting soil aspect is the
effect of years of cropping on the or
ganic matter content of the soils at the
three experiment stations.
At none of these stations were soil
samples collected at the time when the
experimental plots were established.
However, a soil sample representative
of virgin sod was taken in 1947 for COM
pariSon with the cropped plots. Only at
Havre and MOccasin could a site be
found which was representative of the
virgin soil conditions.
Chemical analyses of the soils from
Havre and Moccasin show that there
has been a marked reduction in the
total nitrogen and carbon contents of
the surface soil (O-6 inches). Both total
nitrogen and carbon are directly re-
lated to the organic matter level 1t
was estimated that on these alternate
crOp-fallow plots there has been a IS
per cent reduction in total nitrogen at
MoccaSin. At Havre there has been a
AZ per cent reduction in total nitrogen.
Carbon dropped SO per cent at Mecca
sin and SO per cent at Havre. The or
ganic matter of the surface six inches
of soil has been materially lowered by
the years of cropping under an al.
ternate wheat-fallow system.
However, in view of the yield results
at Havre, which showed no yield de
crease with time, loss of organic mat
ter alone is not the only cause of de
creasing yields at Moccasin. It is prob
able that, in a relatively gravelly shall
low soil as at Moccasin, organic mat
ter content is more important than i
is on heavier, deeper soils.
