Measuring Acres
Covered Per Dav
By E. B. WILSON

IF YOU WANT to estimate the num-
Der of acres a machine will cover per
day just multiply the WIDTH of the
machine in feet by the SPEED of
travel in miles per hour. For example,
7-fOot mower travelling at m.p.h.
should cut q 428) % acres per
day. Three 14-inch bottoms 1872 #.
wide) travelling m.p.h. should plow
1872 3-1O12) 1912 acres per day.
This shortcut method of calculating
acres per day assumes a 1O-hour day
and that the machine will be stopped
or turning corners IL per cent of the
time. Actually if the above mentioned
7-foot mower were to travel 4 m.p.h.
for 10 full hours it would cut "a acres.
But you know that part of the time
will be used in turning and an occa-
sional stop will most likely be made
to adjust and Intricate the machine.
Therefore, % acres is more realistic
estimate than "a acres and the calcula-
tons are much easier.
TO estimate the acres per hour just
divide the acres per day figure by 10.
The simplest way to divide by 10 is
to move the decimal point one place
to the left. For example, $50 acres
per day when divided by 10 becomes
ESQ acres per hour, or the 10.5 acres
per day becomes LOS acres per hour.
The estimate for machines that are
stopped more than average, grain
drills for example, should be little
less. and machines that very seldom
stop, a little more than this method
Of figuring.

drills, trucks and combines. Slip-shod
cleaning will cost you money.
To further prevent mixtures, it would
be well to put durum on those fields or
strips in 1857 that were seeded to dur
um in 1855 and fallowed in 1856. If this
isn't done, then it would be advisable
on any area where different class Of
wheat is raised following fallow to give
the land one cultivation prior to plant
ing to destroy any volunteer wheat
plants Of class other than that being
seeded.
Alfalfa Seed Production
We would recommend that all pro
ducers of alfalfa seed. read the. article
on page SO. of the April IS, 1856. issue
of Montana er-Stockman. It is
titled Alfalfa Seed Production Down
Bugs May Be One of Causes 1t was
written by George Roemhild, Assistant
State Entomologist. George has been
doing a lot Of work with insect .infesta-
lions in Montana and what he says is
well worth needing. -
There isn't any question but what q
spray program on both alfalfa and red
, clover that is being left for seed is a
must. " There was time, when ii
, didn't seem so important and growers
took chance. With very heavy popula-
tons of several of the harmful insects
with us every year it becomes neces-
Sary to spray in order to be insured of
any kind of an average yield.
George sets forth a simple procedure
for spraying which if followed will
help lot. If you will just rig up the kind
OF net he suggests and use it frequent
ly, am sure you will not only be con-
WINGED, but atOnished. 1t may be neces-
Sary to spray more often than George
suggests, but your net will tell YOU
what the situation is at any given pc
riOd of growth.
In areas where alfalfa weevil have
established themselves, it is important
to the producer of hay as well as seed
to keep the population of this insect
down to minimum.

Byrd Opposes
|Eisenhower's
School Plan

Senator Byrd, Democrat of Vir-

President Eisenhower's school
construction program because he
believes 1t will lead to eventual
Federal control of our schools"
Senator Byrd, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. said
also he regards the proposed
SIPS billion outlay forl a five
year program of Federal con-
struction as too high.
He said in an interview he
doubts the budget will be bal
anced in the fiscal year beginning
next July if school and other ex-
penditures proposed by the ad-
ministration are voted by Con-
gress. He said health, public
works and school programs. plus
added foreign aid. account for
about .$2.1 billion in proposed
new OUTLAWS during the year.
II see little justification for
all these new programs" he
said.
But although he challenged
the school programs cost, Sen
ator Byrd said he is even more
disturbed by what he called
threatened encroachmentss Of
State controls.
On that point he agreed with
Indiana's Gov. George N. Craig,
who said yesterday his State
needs no Federal assistance, and
will be able to meet the highest
of school standards without it.
Gov. Craig said Federal aid
should be accepted only when
absolutely necessary" Other
wise. he said, there is a danger
of "dictation from the govern
ment."
Gov. G. Mennen Williams of
Michigan, debating that and
other matters with Gov. Craig
on an NBC-TV program, the
American Forum. replied that
Federal dictation Is not in the
