Half of Weed Control Costs
Covered by ACP Payments
So EUGENE HEIKES, EsIension Weed SPeeialist

Last year 4O3 farmers participated
in the program. The ACP paid out
$29. 1853 on 14,6O1 acres. In 1857, 71S
farmers participated-the ACP paid out
$40, $40 on 17,779 acres. Many counties
which requested the program and were
given justification in 1858 did not parti-
cipate. Out of the 80 counties which
were given approval, II did not take
advantage of the program.
Weed control is good practice, one
which most farmers in Montana can
benefit by. Nine counties, Cascade,

WE OFTEN HEAR people say that
perennial weeds are community prob
lem. This is true in many cases.
Very often the cost of controlling
large areas of perennial weeds is great
er than the individual farmer can
Justify. This is especially true in range
land or waste land areas where the
land values are less than the weed con-
troll cost would be. However, these
areas are a constant source Of infesta-
ton to better lands if left uncontrolled.
With these facts in mind, many
farmers have strongly recommended
that outside assistance be given for
controlling weeds. It is hard for the
individual farmer to justify $50 per
acre for control of Leafy Spurge when
the land is worth less than $25. In the
meantime the area of weeds gets larg-
er. more land is lost to weeds and the
community in general suffers. How
ever, if the farmer pays only half of
the cost, he is usually more interested
Agricultural Conservation payments
are available in Montana to cover so
per cent of the cost of controlling
noxious weeds.
Improve Desirable Cover
This is a special practice titled sCon-
trolling Noxious Weeds to Permit
Growth of Adequate Desirable Vegeta-
tive Cover" It applies to weed control
on ditch banks, range lands, estab-
lished perennial grass pastures or areas
where weed control will improve the
permanent vegetative cover. Tt also
Montana farmer-stockman., 1959-03-15

applies to certain perennial weeds on
cropland when so badly infested that
the cost of controlling the weeds would
be greater than the land could justify.
This practice is approved on the basis
of individual county justification. Coun-
ties that were given approval in 1858
will automatically be approved for 1859
participation. Additional counties can
also be approved if they make the
necessary request to the State ASC
office.
In general, the office at Bozeman
has been quite lenient in giving ap-
proval to counties. The State office
does prefer that some organized effort
is being made to control weeds in the
county other than ASC assistance. How
ever, this does not limit participation
to counties having organized weed dis
tricts. Many counties without organized
county districts have been approved If
the county commissioners, highways or
railroads are cooperating to control
existing infestatiOns.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1959-03-15
Eligibility


To be eligible for payment, the area
of weeds to be controlled must be in
spected before treatment is begun.
This inspection is made by a repre-
sentative of the county committee. In
counties having organized weed dis
tricts the county weed supervisor some
times helps with these inspections. The
area must be inspected again after the
recommended treatments have been
performed. Recommended treatments
are based on Montana Extension and
Research recommendations.
The maximum federal cost share in
1859 will be so per cent Of the cost OF
chemical applied, plus SO per cent OF
the average cost of application. This
will be determined by the county COM
mittee. Fifty per cent of the cost OF

Dioz Lonz Bombed Havana
With Leaflets, FBI Reports
BY the Associated Press

The man who once led the
Cuban Air Force for Fidel Cas-
tro led the flight that showered
leaflets against Castro in Ha-
vana Wednesday. the FBI says.
This latest adventure in the
life Of Mai. Pedro Diaz LAM
was reported by the FBI in re-
sponse to questions last night.
The FBI's account will prob
ably stir even more fervor into
Mr.. Castro's denunciationS Of
the United States. His govern
ment is expecting to increase
demands that the United States
take steps to prevent unfriendly
flights to Cuba.
Mai. Diaz LAM, who fought
with Mr.. Castro to overthrow
the Cuban regime of Fulgencio
Batista, quit as head of the
air force last June 80. He fled
to Florida, calling Mr.. Castro
a Communist. In turn, Mr..
Castro called him a traitor.
Flight Made From U. s.
Mr.. Castro has charged that
the Wednesday attack was
launched from the United
States. He also charged that
the plane dropped bombs, not
only leaflets. on Havana.
Asked whether it had looked
into the first charge, the FBI
said "the fight did emanate
from the United States"
Agents questioned Mai. DiaZ
Lanz in Miami yesterday. the
FBI said, and "he admitted to
the FBI that he headed the
flight"
HE was the instigator of
the whole idea," a spokesman
added.
Denies Dropping Bombs
Mai. Diaz LAM laughed at
Mr.. Castro's claim that the
leaf1et planes dropped bombs
on Havana.
"Those who were killed and
wounded were hit by wild fire
from irresponsible soldiers at
the anti-aircraft guns and by
anti-Castro people driving
through the Streets" he said.
He said the anti-aircraft
guns on roof tops were aimed
too low and the bullets spat-
tered into the streets.
There was no immediate in
dication whether the Justice
Department would take any
legal action against the Cuban.
Fears for Life of Matos
Maj. Diaz LAM has been liv-
ing in seclusion in Miami since
his resignation as Cuban air
chief.
He said he fears for the life
of Maj. Hubert Matos, a former
Castro lieutenant now under
arrest in Cuba.
mo one has been able to
hear what Maj. Matos has to
say" Maj. Diaz Lanz said. IT

that they want to kill him."
