Irrigating Alfalfa
One of the keys to good hay
yields from alfalfa is to keep the
crop well supplied with moisture
during the entire growing sea-
son. When the crop lacks mois-
ture, growth will be delayed and
yields will drop.
Where you get two or three
cuttings a season, irrigation spe-
cialists say you can expect yields
to go up as the amount of water
is increased up to 80 inches per
season. However, they caution
that the application of more
than 80 inches is rarely justified.
And they also point out that it
seldom pays to apply more than
6 inches of water at a single ir-
rigation.
How many irrigations are
needed of course depends upon
the type of soils in the locality
and the climate. Where summers
are warm and the growing sea-
son gives you three cuttings the
crop may need one or two irriga-
tons per cutting. On the other
hand, in mountain valleys where
the growing season is short and
cool, one irrigation for each of
the two cuttings normally ex-
pected will usually suffice.
But the main thing is to see
that the crop is well supplied
with moisture at all times.
For more information on ir-
rigating alfalfa and other crops,
l suggest that you get a copy
of the extension bulletin en-
titled, "Irrigating Field Crops
in Montana" Copies are avail
able here at the County Exten-
sion Office.

Insect Problems

Ornamental and Garden
Insect Problems
Weather conditions this year
seem to be favoring many types
OF insects with the result that
ornamental paintings and gard
ems have been hard hit in many
sections of Richland county.
Ornamental and garden insects
on which we have received the
most calls include the forest tent
caterpillar, spider mites, and flea
beetles. We will now discuss
insects briefly, one at a time,
and the treatment as recommend
ed by G.. R. Roemhild, assistant
state entomologist at Montana
State College.
Forest Tent Caterpillar - This
insect has skeletonized the leaves
on many of our deciduous trees.
Spray when the first caterpillars
are seen with 3 pounds of 500
DOT wettable powder per hun
dred gallons of water. This mix
ture, Of course, can be cut down
The Sidney herald., 1958-06-04

according to the number of trees
you have to spray.
Spider Mites These are
tiny insects that cover the I'M
derparts of evergreen needles
with a white webbing, causing
the branches to, take on a gray
or brown appearance and may
cause the needles to drop. Mala-
thion spray mixed according to
label directions is one of the
more effective miticides and most
easy to obtain from any insecti-
eide dealer. Two applications at
10 day intervals are usually re-
quired.
Flea Beetles - These are tiny
insects that give the leaves of
radish, spinach, and other gar
den vegetables the appearance
Of having been peppered with
fine shot. When flea beetles are
abundant, the foliage may be so
badly eaten that it can no longer
function and the plant dies. For
control, dust when the beetles
first appear, and repeat every
5 to ii days, or as often as nee
essary. A $50 dot dust is rec
commended for the inedible parts
of the vegetables, and rotenone
or pyrethrum on the edible vege-
table parts.
Weed Control In Small Grains
With the season for spraying
broad leaved weeds in spring
wheat and barley here, there are
several points that should be
considered for a good, economi-
cal spray job.
In purchasing 2,4-D, there is
a certain amount of inert
material in the mixture that is
not weed killer. For example,
the RAD acid equivalent varies
two pounds per gallon to
four pounds per gallon. On the
the basis of 2,4-D per gallon, the
four pound material is worth
twice as much as the two pound
per gallon material. In obtaining
effective weed kills, it is highly
important to consider the acid
equivalent of the 2,4-D used. AS
for converting the rates of 2,4-D
n pounds per acre to liquid
Measure, information for doing
his is available in an Expert
nent Station Circular available
lere at the office, entitled weed
Control in Montana"
Investigations made by the
Montana Experiment Station on
he cause of damage to wheat
rom 2,4-D treatment has shown
hat low volume of carrier is a
contributing factor. This points
o the fact that for obtaining 4
,ood kill as well as preventing
injury to the grain crop, don't

TIL E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD


We take for granted nowadays
that we are, on the average, much
healthier specimens than were our
ancestors. Statistics show that our
life expectancy is much greater,
and, again on the average, that
cannot be disputed. In some fields,
however, it would seem that people
of a few generations back weren't
exactly weddings. Judging from
the books they read, l would say
that their eyesight, for one thing
was superior to that of the aver
age person today. My grand
fathers Bible has the year 1899
inscribed on the flyleaf. The print
is so fine that l don't even at
tempt to read it, even with glasses;
yet feel sure that my grand
father did, for there are notations
to indicate that he used it in pre-
pairing lessons for his Sunday
School class. A copy of "The Scar
let Letter" which belonged to my
grandmother is in the same fine
print.
The answer might lie in the fact
that our grandparents didn't strain
their eyes constantly by watching
movies and television. On the
other hand, they did most of their
reading by lamplight, which
couldn't be calculated to help any
ones eyesight. That they were pa
tient readers is evidenced not only
by the fine print but also by. the
type of books they read. The best
sellers of my grandparents day
were chiefly the books that have
become American classics. Though
"The Scarlet Letter" is still con-
sidered by critics the best novel in
American literature, very few mod
ern readers would take the time
to read it. The trouble is not in
its length-many recent novels are
three times as long-but in its
style. 1t was not written for people
who read on the run. Most modern
readers want a condensed plot
with as little description and ex-
PLANTATION as possible so that they
can read during the commercials
and keep up with the plot of the
book and the television program at
the same time. A book which
stresses ideas and beauty of langu-
age just can't be appreciated that
way.
Perhaps the very fact that our
grandparents could sit quietly be-
side the lamp and read without
jumping up to answer the tele-
phone or switch to another station
on t.v. accounts for another way
in which they seem to have been
superior to their grandchildren.
Mental illness existed in their day,
of course, but, according to Stats
tics, in a much lesser degree than
it does today. A little hot milk or
Ovaltine lat bedtime was about as
close to a tranquilizer as most peo-
pie ever came.
1t cannot be denied that many
people once died from diseases that
are trivial today and that many
others lived in discomfort with all
ments that can now be quickly
cured. / wouldn't want to change
places with them; still am not
ready to write off the cold folks"
as puny lot. They must have had
good eyesight, strong nerves, and
great deal of intestinal fortitude.
