tiles of the area, and more and more
virgin prairie was put under cuitiva-
ton, new problems began to arise.
In 1926 "soil blowing was so extensive
that wind-blown soil from the fields
of neighborS south of the station COM
pletely covered rotation plots with 6
to inches of soil. Much of the wind
blown soil was removed from the plots
with a fresno" Soil blowing had be-
come one of the most important prob
lens confronting the agriculture of
the region by 1929.
Clouds of Dust
James L. Krall, superintendent at
MOccasin since the retirement of Ralph
M. Williams in 1855, is a native Of
the Judith Basin. When a junior at the
LewiStOwn High School in 1886, Krall
says he can remember that it was
necessary to have the lights on in the
classroom during the day because of
the dark clouds of dust that blew in
from the farm lands east of town.
Krall was born in Danvers, Is miles
northeast of the station, and graduated
from Montana State College in 1943.
The 1885 annual report stated that
fall plowed plots suffered more loss
of soil from soil blowing than any other
plots in the rotation It was also noted

Timers who attended the annual field
days and picnics at Moccasin that
were regular part of community life
in central Montana years ago. In the
early days of the experiment station
attendance at these affairs ran close
to 4,O00 Farm families came from as
far as 40 miles, a considerable distance
to travel in a Model-T over dirt roads
that frequently were nothing more than
wagon rutS across the prairie. Special
trains from Great Falls and Billings
brought picnickers to MoccaSin. A car
nival, complete with ferris wheel, and
a baseball game were regular features
of these field days.
The picnics led to the formation of
the Judith Basin County Annual Picnic
Association, which was responsible for
planning the affairs. Drought and de-
preston during the sos, however,
caused a decline in attendance, and the
association was dissolved in 1888.
The Central Montana Branch Station
came into existence March 9, 1907 by
an act of the State Legislature. 1t was
first known as the Fergus County Sub
station. When Judith Basin county was
formed in 1920 it was called the Judith
Basin Branch Station. The present
name was chosen in 1943 because it is
located near the geographical center
of Montana.
The original land purchase for the
station was 100 acres. In 1912 adjoining
school land was leased from the state,
bringing the acreage up to $40, the
present size of the station.
Problems, Opportunities
From the very beginning research
work revealed both the problems that
agricultural development would face
in the area and the opportunities that
existed for dryland farming. In 1909
the annual report stated that "alter-
nate thawing and freezing of winter
grains seeded later than August re-
duced stands and yields by one-half. -
By 1911 it could be reported that sew
eral varieties of winter wheat could be
profitably grown on dryland in the
Judith Basin.
Particularly interesting is the change
in recommendations that were made,
as more knowledge of the area was
revealed through research. The 1918
report said ''any intense method Of
cultivation practice for conservation
of moisture in Judith Basin soils is a
waste of time and money" Summer
fallow was not recommended in 1916.
the 1919 report stated that yields after
faIlow were the highest and the rela.
tive advantage of summer falIow was

JAYCEES PLAN
VARIETY SHOW
Clayton Group To
Bring Professional Talent
Show to Smyrna
TO AID PROJECTS

The Smyrna-Clayton Junior
Chamber of Commerce is making
plans to bring a professional tall
ent show to Smyrna in Septem-
ber. The Jaycees will ask the sup
port of merchants or interested
persons to support them in the
project. A Jaycee will call on bus
mess establishments for ads in
the program, and 800 programs
will be printed, giving a wide
eoverage to the advertisements.
Each ad will be clipped from the
program book and will be posted
in two prominent business places
for one month so that the names
of advertisers will be kept before
the public eye. Complimentary
ads may be purchased by inter-
ested persons. Checks may be
mailed to Vance Cole, chairman
for the show. The cost of attend
ing will be 81 for adults and rs
cents for children. The show will
include acts of particular interest
to children. Further details as to
date and place will be released
during July and August. The
money realized will be used for
community betterment. With a
show of this type every cent real
lized remains in the community,
and the talent is hired from an
agency. The Jaycees have a street
sign project for which they need
funds, so that natives and new
families coming to Smyrna will
know the names of the streets.
The Jaycees also hope to be able
to sponsor Little League ball
team next season. The Jaycees
are an organization of young
men, 21 to 35 years of age, and
they issue an invitation to young
men of the proper age to join
this progressive organization,
which is expanding its member
ship and aims each month. The
Jaycee Greed reads: 1--WE believe
that faith in God gives meaning
and purpose to human life; That
the brotherhood of man trans
cends the sovereignty of nations
That economic justice can best
be won by free men through free
enterprise; That government
should be of laws rather thar
men," This is a creed we live by
THAT earth's great treasure lies
in human personality, and thai
service to humanity is the bes
work of life."
