sedges Ito which group the ''nutgrass''

timothy, clovers and other more palat-
able but less water-tolerant forage
plants. They consider sedges, rushes

that when cut for hay. is at the very
bottom of the list both in quality and
quantity.
They say these meadows should be
broken up. The present vegetation
should be destroyed. the land farmed,
leveled and reseeded to a modern
grass mixture. After reseeding, the
land should be irrigated internationally
and the water never allowed to run
more than one or two days in one place.
Commercial fertilizer should be APP
piled. AS result of all this they feel
that two to five times as much hay
can be produced on Big Hole meadows
as is being produced on the average
now and that the feeding value and
palatability of the resulting hay will
be much higher.
More Hay, Less Food Value
Several rancherS have done consid-
cradle improvement work on meadow
land. One man who has done more
work than any other individual after
breaking up, leveling and reseeding ma
tive meadow land to good mixture
of grasses and legumes, found it took
liz tons of this introduced hay to equal
the feeding value of one ton of wild
hay. He felt, however, that the in
creased tonnage and the ease with
which the improved meadow can be
hayed justified the expense.
Others have plowed, leveIed and re-
seeded meadows to grass and legume
mixtures. Pasture improvers have beer
used to introduced seed and fertilizer
into existing sod. Various forms of cuI
tivating, short Of destroying the exist
ing vegetation entirely, have been trieC
and followed by seeding. There ha;
been great amount of interest il

We're Trying Out
Better Practices
I'm the Big Hole
By ORVILLE SPARROW

WHEN WE MOVED to the Pintler
Creek ranch in 1912, the entire place
had been paStured for over 20 years.
After the meadows were cleaned up
and again in condition to hay they re-
quired very little care and expense.
The nearest thing to farming equip
ment we needed was the drag that
was used to break up the manure and
smooth over anthiIls and rough spots.
Irrigating is simple and requires no
extra help. The water is turned on
after Che dragging is done, usually
about the first of. June. Once the wa
ter is turned on and spread over the
meadows it is seldom changed or
turned off. About the first of July the
creeks begin to drop and about the
tenth the bitches are all shut off.
This ranch now produces something
under one ton of hay to the acre. The
bOttomland meadows produce hay
made up mostly of sedges, rushes, red
top. blue grasses, wheat grasses, Amer
lean slough grass, alsike and native
clover and small percentage Of other
herbs. The hay from the bench
meadows has a higher percentage of
blue and wheat grasses, finer sedges
that require less water timothy and
matmuhly.
About 20 pounds per day of this hay
will maintain a COW through the winter
and from 16 to Is pounds will put rs
to 100 pounds on calf from the time
he is weaned in the fall until he is
turned out in the spring.
COmpIacemcy Jared
Like everyone else we have been in
terested in what has been done in the
Big Hole and similar areas in the way
of research to boost the quantity of
hay produced on wild hay meadows.
We had always taken it for granted
that the feeding quality of Big Hole
hay was as good as or better than
most hay and that the amount per
acre was reasonable enough, consider
ing the comparatively low cost and
simplicity of maintenance and irriga-
tion. However in my random search
for information and ideas my COM
placency with present methods and
conditions have had some rude shocks.
Apparently others in quest Of the
same information and ideas have
brought the Big Hole and its methods
and problems to the attention of various
agricultural experts from outside Bea
verhead County AS a result several
men Of imposing backgrounds in range
management, irrigation, use of ferti
lizers, agronOmy and farming gener
ally have been sufficiently interested tt
visit The Big Hole and see conditions
first hand.

ideas about existing practices.

the weight rested on the ground. That
did the trick The cows really enjoyed
rubbing themselves, with tension in
the cable.
Has to Be Strong
Two days later the cable was broken
in the middle. The constant flexing
was too much for the barbed wire
strands. When cow backs into the
cable and commences to scratch where
it itches, something is likely to give
unless everything is pretty strong.
Now, all my cables have either chain
or wire rope core wrapped with barbed
wire to hold the sacking.
About this time, also, the sacking
commenced to look pretty ragged and
loose, for the binder Irvine was fray
ing, coming united, or being rubbed
along the cable. So I wound some
more sacks around the cables, length
wise, and fastened them down every
eight inches with that old farm stand
by, baling wire. And the cows liked
the new, rougher surface just as well
or better.
Two burlap bags wrapped around the
cable, lengthwise, seem to be enough
sacking at any one point That figures
10 or II sacks to the cable.
Swivel Helps
To spread the wear and oil better
by permitting the cable to revolve
when in use, hang the center weight
from large iron ring slipped over the
cable and put large swivel at each
end A pole spiked across the top OF
the posts helps brace them against the
rubbing of the cattle and keeps the
cable from getting too slack as the
posts sag toward each other.
I purchase a commercial DOT con-
centrate and for carrier buy lubri-
eating grade mineral or paraffin oil
The advantage of these is that they
stay oily and act as a repellent in
themselves, while anyone who has ever
washed off greasy hands in fuel oil is
aware of its cutting, drying action
Effective Control
The cables are located at sailing sta
tons or near watering places or trails.
When out away from brush and trees
and kept slightly moist or oily, these
cables give almost perfect horn fly con-
troll. Rarely can more than half a
dozen flies be counted to a side when
cows visit the stations with some regu-
larity.
After the-initial soaking, a couple OF
quarts of solution applied with spout
can every 10 days is sufficient. And
the results are surely worth the effort

Standard Oil Has
New Film On Ohio
peopIe And Habits

Completion of new motion
featuring the people of Ohio and
their accomplishments has been
announced by The Standard Oil
Company (Chio).
Entitled "Ohio-U.S.A.", the
thirty-minute sound, color film
covers the state from Lake Eric
to the Ohio River. It shows that
within Ohio boundaries are to be
found samplings of the best fea-
lures of the entire nation.
Departing from the usual ap-
proach to travel films, "Ohio-
U.S.A." tells the story of the
people OF Ohio and how they
i've in their tremendous indus
trial centers, small towns and
crossroad hamlets. Their enthu-
siasm for work and play and the
natural and man-made wonders
that are theirs to enjoy are pic
tured.

What is man profited, if
he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall man
give in exchange for his
SouI?" Matthew 1926
There is one truth that God
would have us learn - the value
of the soul of man. Of all that
which God has created. it is fore
most The soul is the person. The
body is not the individual it is
only the instrument by which
the person carries in his earthly
existence The body is the means
by which one expresses himself
Yet, we find ourselves giving
more attention to the body lin
dressing it up and trying TO beau
tify it) than we do the care of
the soul. 1t is the soul that is
right or wrong, good or bad, not
the body in iself.
Jesus would not have us neg
| lect our body, nor are we to be
indolent, but He would have us
put first things first. 1t is SO
easy to put the emphasis on
material things, being concerned
only with what we are going to
eat, drink and wear, accumulat-
ing material possessions and put
the soul in danger of eternal
hell Jesus would have us realize
that the most precious possession
that we have is our soul.
The soul is precious because
God considered it worth Great
| ing. We read in Genesis 2:7 that
The Lord God formed man of
| the dust Of the ground, and
| breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became
a living soul" We can be sure
that the All-WIse God would not
create something useless. What
He considered worth creating, we
should be concerned enough to
preserve it and use it for His
honor and glory.
Satan realizes the worth Of
mans soul. From the time of
| Adam and Eve he has been active
in trying to tempt men to sin
| Genesis 3:l-6: Matthew Al, g;
! Chronicles oil; | Timothy 81;
ii Timothy 2:26). His purpose is
to hinder the work of God and
to diShonOr God. He knows that
man can give glory TO God but
not in state Of sin, 50 he seeks
TO destroy mans soul by sinful
acts and thus God will be robbed
Of the glory which He deserves
| Finally, we learn the value of
the soul of man when we read
that Christ died for us"
| (RomanS 5:8). He died on our
behalf. As a sinner man is sub
| iect TO Gods wrath and eternal
| hell Romans 2:5; John 1856:
| Revelation 20:l2-15). But Jesus
Christ suffered the penalty for
our sin and received Gods wrath
