Attractive blue corduroy and
flannel jumpers, carefully made
by Guild members in the best
fashion for young people, are
among the gifts this year. No
hand-me-down look TO these dress
es, but proof that someone thinks
and cares.
There are also many items of
clothing for babies and some for
the needy older people in nursing
homes of the County.
The clothing represents the
dues of the members of the local
chapter of the Guild, each of
whom must give at least two new
garments a year or the money to
buy them. The garments must be
alike-tWo dresses, two sweaters,
two baby shirts, etc, to carry out
the organizations slogan.
A drive for new members is
being held in this area where
there are now thirteen directors
with ten or more members work
ing under each director. The
group meets only one a year and
has no requirement for member
ship other than the gift of two
new garments.

gave me instructions in following their
stakes to pillow the bitches.
We put three bitches through the
field, dividing it into four equal strips.
The second and third bitches down the
field also act as pickup and spreader
bitches, catching water that flows from
the next strip above. Thus the water
is unable to travel far enough or get
up speed enough to cause erosion.
Structures Needed
Improved combination drop and
turnout structures are also planned and
will be installed as soon as I can af-
ford it. These will let the water in
the supply ditch down safely and give
me control over the amount of water
that gets into the field bitches.
The way it is now the irrigated part
OF my farm is all in strips running
the long way of the field and I have
complete control over the water. I can
make an irrigation set and leave if
for four hours.
1t also helps the ditch rider because.
from start to finish, never change
the headgate setting. The work is much
easier, the crops are easier to harvest
without bitches to cross and there is
a great saving in water.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01

and lowered to control the flow and
the level of water under any area. The
ditch was completed the early sum-
mer of 1850.
In 1851 the first crop raised was oats
that yielded 122 bushels an acre. Grass
seed was planted in 1855, with oats as
a nurse crop. We intended to cut the
oats for grain as usual but in June they
threatened to smother the grass. About
June 20 I moved the oats for hay and
got about IL tons per acre. I moved
them again Aug. %, with about the
same amount of hay, and had still an
other cutting on Oct. IS.
We have downspout pipe buried in
handy places to measure the water
level to be controlled by use of the
headgateS. By measuring the water in
the downspout pipe we can keep the
required level at will.
1t is an ideal sub-irrigation control
system. 1t takes about four hours of
work per season to do the irrigating on
this land. 1t is truly lazy mans irri-
cation system.

Lazy Mans Irrigation System
Provided by Drainage Ditch
By CAL LIVINGSTON, Lake Conuty

WE HAD CLEARED the brush, such
as willow, birch and spruce, from about
so acres of our land, only to find after
a couple of years that we had high
water level
The land could be farmed in the
spring, but during July the water rose
to the surface and continued to rise
until September. This situation con-
tinued for several years and threatened
to ruin the farm and make it unprofit-
able to operate.
We decided to take our problem to
Norm T. Johnson, who was soil con-
servationist for the Lake County Soil
Conservation District. He investigated
and recommended a deep drain ditch
with gates here and there to control
the water
y Mile Long
We built approximately u mile of
ditch which was 6 feet wide at the bot
tom and averaged 51z feet deep. We put
IN three structures of steel and dirt,
with control gates that can be raised

dinner we went for ride in their new
car We drove to Reed Point and on
the way back I noticed very dark
cloud in the north and told my nephew.
who was driving, to step on it.
We had just driven the car into the
machine shed when the storm hit. This
hailStOrm surpassed anything 1 have
ever seen or hope to see. The air was
white with hail. The house was onlv
about 100 feet from the shed but we
could hardly see it. 1t hailed for about
an hour and then the rain fell in tor
rents.
We had 500 acres altogether in crop
and hayland. 1t was all flattened down
and swept away into the coulees. In
some places you couldn't tell anything
had ever grown on the land.
Practically all the farmers had taken
out hail insurance. There was some
thing like $4,000 acres damaged. The
State Hail Board paid AZ per cent,
l think it was, and the legislature
passed law cancelling the rest of the
payment. 1t has never been paid.
The hail practically ruined the home
steaders in White Beaver. Crops were
not good for the next few years and by
1923 most of the settlers were forced
to leave.
