On Conservation
Planning Methods
BY John S. Murrey
Soil Conservation Service
Sidney. Montana

Why are farmers and ranchers
in Richland county becoming
more interested in conservation
plans? The main reason is that
they want to know more about
their soil - how to use it and
how to treat it.
If you are a farmer, you know
your farm is different from any
other farm. Your land is different
from anyone else'S land. In fact,
the land on your farm is not
exactly alike on any two fields.
You don't run your farm in ex-
actly the same way your neigh
borS do, use exactly the same tools
and equipment, or grow exactly
the same crops and keep the same
kinds and number of livestock
each year.
Over one = half million farm
ers in the United States now have
a written conservation plan. Rich
land County Soil Conservation
District has two hundred and
twenty-seven such plans. These
farmers received technical help
through their soil conservation
district. At the request of the
farmer who runs or operates the
farm, a trained Soil Conserva-
zionist will meet with him and
together they will make the plan.
1t is designed not only to control
wind and water erosion but also
to increase production on the
farm.
A basic conservation plan is
actually a "blue print" of the
farm. 1t includes an aerial map
showing the different kinds of
soil and how these soils should
be treated to prevent wind and
water erosion. The plan also
shows ways and mean to keep
of cultivated crops, ma
tive and tame grasses, trees and
wildlife at the highest practical
In the process of developing
the plan the farmer and the con-
servationist go over the farm.
They discuss the kind of land the
farmer has to deal with on each
field. The farmer tells the con-
servationiSt the kind of farming
he plans to do - what crops he
wants to grow and what livestock
he plans to raise. Together, they
decide which fields to use for
and where the pastures and
meadows are to be. The farmer
may decide to plant trees or grass
On badly eroded land that is be-
ing used for crop production.
When the farmer has decided
what each acre is to be used for,
ne and the conservationist then
discuss the conservation practices
needed on each field. They decide
what crop rotations to use and
fields to cultivate on the
contour or where to strip crop.
They determine whether any
fields need to be drained, and
where to build ponds and grass

To keep pace with Montana's

no one has spent more money, de-
voted more time or effort to this

such as research into uses for
agricultural products, including
the the interesting development

products are being investigated
daily. Industrial areas to make
Montana attractive to industries
seeking new homes are being de-
veloped.
Eastern Montana oil discover
les in 1852 created an urgent de-
mand for just such industrial sites
at Glendive. AS a result of ap-
plications for sites which came
in due to oil exploration, the rail-
way graded a tract adjoining the
main line and built trackage on
it. Twelve leases already have
been issued. nine for oil-well sup

evening was John Willard, public
relations director for the Montana
Railroad association comprising
the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern, Burlington (C.B.&Q.)
Milwaukee and Union Pacific
Railroads as members. In Sidney
during the day before the meet
ing, Mr.. Willard called on local
leaders in public activities and
other business people.
The Montana Railroad associa-
ton was only recently organized
and in selecting Mr.. Willard as
public relations director they have
a man who is well acquainted in
publicity circles throughout the
state as a former newspaper man
with Helena and other upstate
papers and more recently in a
public relations and publicity ca
pacity with the Montana Chill
dren's Home and Hospital at Hell
ena. He resigned this position in
accepting the railroad associa-
ton appointment. His talk will be
of interest to all Richland county
readers as it pertains to freight
rates and other public relations
matters in connection with his
job.

of the railroads in Montana is APP
