FARM
A AVAILABLE

New plans for several farm
structures r now available from
the department of agricultural en-
gineering at Montana State Col
lege and they may be ordered
through the County Extension Of
flee.
One of these is for a bunker silo
that has a concrete floor and treat
ed plank walls. The silo may be
constructed any width or length.
And along this same line are plans
for eight variations of movable
self-feeding fences for horizontal
silos. Some of these fences may
also be used to feed hay and
moved forward as the stack is fed.
Another plan is for a sheep
loading chute that is adjustable
for the height of the truck into
which the animals are being load
ed. 1t was designed primarily for
loading double decker trucks.
Plans are also available for a
"weathervane" mineral feeder
which swivals so that the
opening faces away from the wind.
This feeder can be made from a
55-gallon drum, and an old auto
mobile front wheel and axle as
Sembly.
Other new plans available in
clude a three bedroom farmhouse,
a pole type hay shed and a pole
type shed for livestock.
Small drawings of these plans
may be seen at the county Extern
sion Office and you may also
order working drawings through
the Extension Office.

o MONEY MAKER

Don't sell fertilizer short. IT.:
one of the biggest boosters of farm
profits there is.
A six county IVA survey ir
North Dakota last year reveals
that from the 1873 fields surveyed
farmers were receiving an aver
age Of 1909 profit from the dol
lare spent for commercial fertil-
izer. Laurel D. Loftsgard and Mar
vim T. Nordbo, NDAC economists,
reported this in the January-Feb-
ruary issue of North Dakota
Farm Research, published by the
NDAC Experiment Station.
Digging into the merits of fertil-
izer, the economists state further
that some fields yielded nearly
5000 profit on money spent for
fertilizer. They do not recommend,
though, that all available mana
cement funds go into fertilizer, as
there is a limit to the profitable in
creases that can be obtained. They
do suggest careful use be made of
the money you pump back into the
farm business. Competing for your
dollars along with fertilizer are
such things as insecticides, new
seed, livestock and added acres.
Loftsgard and Nordbo contend
that, in most cases, it's illogical to
think that you can't afford to fert-
ilize when prices are going down.
They say that when prices are
dropping, using moderate amounts
of fertilizer is the best way to
maintain profits. Moderate rates
reduce per unit costs, they point
out, and under normal conditions,
this is one good way to beat falling
prices.
But the NDAC economists would
be slow to recommend higher fert-
ilizer rates during low crop price
periods. It all comes down to the
Importance of management deci-
sions during a cost-price squeeze.
You've got to funnel your dollars
fertilizer with hairline pre-
cision because getting maximum
returns is very important under
such conditions. We might add
that the moisture available at
seeding time should be considered
as an important factor in your
decision.

Wheat Compliance
History Explained

A FARMS wheat acreage thi
year will affect the farms 1885
wheat history credit which will
be used in determining future al
lotments, Leo S. Kolstad, Stat
ASC administrative officer, re
minded farmers this week.
Several provisions for deter
mining 1859 wheat acreage his.
tory credit for farms r new
Kolstad said. They are the re-
suit of new legislation and will be
applied for the first time this
year. Wheat growers should know
about them when they plan their
operations"
The new law does not affect the
computation of history credit for
farms on which the wheat acreage
is within the farm allotment. AS in
the past, farms on which the al
lotment is not exceeded will get
full credit as history for the allot-
ment plus the acreage considered
diverted from wheat production.
An exception is the farm where
the allotment is underplanted to
release excess wheat stored to
avoid or postpone the payment
of penalty. On such farms, the
wheat history credit will be the
wheat acreage plus credit for
acreage diverted.
The new law will affect part
icularly those farms on which the
wheat acreage exceeds the farm
acreage allotment. Kolstad gave
the following explanation of the
effect that noncompliance with
the farm acreage allotment would
have in several situations:
!. Producers on farms on which
the wheat acreage allotment is ex-
ceeded and on which there is a
farm marketing excess of wheat
have two choices:
(a) Pay the marketing quota
penalty and receive wheat acreage
history credit for the farm equal
only to the wheat acreage allot-
ment for the farm.
CD Deliver the farm marketing
excess of wheat to the Secretary of
Agriculture or store it - on the
farm under bond or in a CONNER
ical warehouse. The warehouse
receipt must be deposited with
the County ASC Office.
If this is done, the acreage credit
in this case is the same as though
the wheat allotment had not been
exceeded. However, the acreage
credit for diversion will be lost if
the stored wheat is later depleted
under such circumstances as, to
make the producer liable for the
marketing quota penalty.
2. Farms on which the wheat
acreage allotment is exceeded but
there is no farm marketing ex-
cess of wheat will be credited with
only the wheat allotment acreage
for that year in determining fut-
ure wheat allotments for the farm.
Such a case - where the wheat
allotment may be exceeded but
there is no farm marketing ex-
cess of wheat on the farm - may
occur because.
(a) The total wheat acreage on
the farm is Is acres or less;
(b) The normal production Of
the acreage planted to wheat is
less than 200 bushels;
(c) The yield per acre is so low
that the total wheat production is
less than the normal production of
the FARMS wheat acreage allot-
ment and application for the
adjustment was made
to the County Committee in ac-
cordance with regulations.
