1856 Crops Better
Than They Looked
Bv JESSE GREEN

THE EARLY PROSPECT for crops IN
Montana in 1856 was poor. 1t was dry
spring. The winter wheat that survived
had a hard time. Prospects for the
dryland crops were poor.
There was some improvement IN the
appearance of crops by harvest time,
but still they looked poor. There is
a rule that says, when crops look
poor, they are poorer than they look.
but this time the rule failed and we had
a better crop than expected. The reason
is somewhat obscure. A careful exam
ination of the facts will help to show
the reasons why we did better than eX-
pected.
The early dry weather put all grain
crops to severe test. The need for
moisture forced the plants to build
extensive root systems. There was
nothing else for a wheat plant to do
but go down and, even though there
had been little rain or snow for months,
there was reserve of moisture deep in
the subsoil from previous wet years.
Good Root Development
Not only was there good root de-
velopment but the vegetative or leafy
growth was curtailed Later on there
were light rains in some regions and
the plants were well established to use
a minimum of moisture. With plants
as with people, if there are hardships
early in life it is easier to get along
later
With a minimum vegetative growth
of leaves and straw all resources o
moisture and plant food were utilized
Il in the production of grain. The ties
Il weight was good. There was very littl'
shriveled wheat in this dry year 0
1856. Yields were down, but not as muc
as expected.
When yields go down the percentag
of protein goes up. There is only S
much available nitrogen on an acrt
When this is worked into protein o
a smaller yield the percentage protei

Increases. On wet years when yields
are high, the same amount of protein
is put into a greater number Of BUSH
els, making a low percentage of pro-
TEN.
Fertilizer Response
The response to fertilizer in this dry
year of 1856 was good. There is tradi-
ton that leads us to believe that fer
tilizers burn crops. The fallacy of this
teaching has been fully shown. Light
applications, especially of phosphates,
help a crop to develop root system
that is very useful when drought comes
on. That is, a well-rooted wheat plant
can live through dry spell better
than one with slight shallow roots.
One principle in the use of fertilizer
on dryland crops is that the rate of
seeding should be reduced when ferti-
Iizer is used. Fertilization increases
stooling about One-third. When heavy
rate of seeding is used along with
fertilizer. there is too heavy stand
and there is too much vegetative
growth for the moisture available. If
we use a bushel of seed without fer
tilizer, we should use three pecks with
fertilizer, giving the crop better
chance as well as making a saving on
seed.
This year Nature cut down on the
stooling and vegetative growth by
means of dry weather early in the
season and, hence, stronger and thin
ner stands made a good showing later
in the season. They did better than
they looked. With the vegetative growth
reduced, fertilization had a chance
to show results.
The Beet Crop

A new practice of using heavy appli
cation of nitrogen is growing up max

Heavy applications of manure with hig

to have low sugar content. This lie
to a prejudice against the use of n

cessful if phosphorus is also. kept at

So. American
Journey Pleases
The R. C.. Reas

Returned to their home on North
Main Street and most enthusiastic
about seven weeks holiday
which took them to South Amer
lea, are Mr.. and Mrs. Robert c.
Rea.
They flew first to New Orleans
and from there were members of a
passenger list of SO that shipped
via a Delta Liner landing at Bu-
enos Aires where they remained
for four days. They did the east
coast with its famous RIO" Mon
tevideo, Buenos Aires and other
fabulous and exotic cities and the
surrounding areas where by COM
parison with the ultra-modern,
they found some most primitive
conditions.
They went over to Santiago for
a stay before entrainng for Vina
del Mar, a famed resort on the
west coast and again they toured
this coast very thoroughly in the
face of the warning that they
would not find it as interesting as
the eastern coast. Quite to the con-
trary the Reas stated they found
much to interest them, quite diff
ferent to be sure, but to them none
the less fascinating.
The highlight of this cruise they
stated was when they anchored off
Port of Puma to take a launch up
the river Guaya where the loading
of thousands of stems" of ba-
nanas specially intriguing. Other
places on the west coast also caught
their fancy and among all the en-
tightening experiences during their
stay were loading of cargoes of
coffee, copper and other of the
country's exports.
They came home aboard a Grace
Liner through the Panama Canal
landing in New York where they
stopped for a day or SO. During
their stay on trip to Radio City
they came upon Mr.. and Mrs. Pet
er F. Lanigan and Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert M. Creath, who are just
home few days after a weeks
outing in New York.
