Interest Charge
The interest charged on borrowed
money is something to consider. Inter-
est is an inflexible cost and has to De
paid even in drought years or when
calves are worth as little as Is cents.
When we borrow money we bet that
we can invest it in something that VIII
bring in a greater return than the IN
terest cost. Some of our investments
have been poor ones. The interest on
our SIC, 1000 crawler tractor at per
cent would be $500. It. is a question
whether we do enough work with the
machine to pay the upkeep and the
interest on the investment.
The hydraulic hay stacker pays for
itself every three years in the saving
of labor and the reduced cost of hay
ing. With return of 1913 per cent of
the money invested every year, it
easily pays the per cent interest on
the borrowed money The large return
it makes has caused us to look around
to see if there are other things we
could invest in that would return as
much.
Project Must Pay 20 Per Cent

Field Windbreaks
Started Last Spring g g

SINCE OUR FIELD shelterbelts
were planted just last spring, we can't
report as yet on the success or failure.
but we do have high hopes for the
project.
Our field strips are probably the
first, or at least among the first, to
be tried in Chouteau County. There
are three rows of trees mile and one
half long and running east and west
across a south slope. The rows are
about quarter of a mile apart and
they are cultivated for about feet
on each side. The cropping strips be-
tween are rods wide.
We planted total of 1000 trees -
5000 Russian Olive and 1900 caragana.
The young trees got off to a good start
last season and we hope they all come
through the winter.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1960-04-01

Nowadays before making an invest
ment in equipment or land develop
ment Gas establishing pastures ON rough
lands). we consider how much return
we will get for our investment We
figure we shouldn't borrow money for
any project that will have an expected
return of less than 20 per cent. On the
20 per cent return basis, our machine
shop that we plan to build should cost
no more than 5000 and it should bring
in $500 every year.
We expect to save or be ahead the
$500 by making use of our labor in
cold and stormy weather overhauling
machinery. Part of the 5000 income
will be credited to the fewer break
downs we will expect by having our
machinery in top shape for the busy
seasons. There are quite a number of
projects that might pay 20 per cent
or more. but it takes close planning
to keep the costs down and the income
return up.
We give most consideration to invest
ing our borrowed money in projects
that reduce operating costs. We don't
get very enthusiastic about investing
large sums of borrowed money in prof.
ects that will increase the supplies of
surplus commodities wheat. barley.
Grass Projects
We have invested in grass projects
to reduce the amount of hay needed
to winter, to eliminate summer poison
losses and to increase summer weight
gains. We have invested in a type of
cattle that is easy to calve and easy
to move about the range. These cat
tie bring higher return on the invest
ment because less labor and high
priced feed are required to run them.
We have developed cultivated ground
to utilize natural fertility and moisture.
These lands produce hay and grain
without the additional expense of irri-
eating and applying fertilizer. We are
doing most of our tractor and truck
repair and maintenance. We have in
vested in tools for this purpose and
we plan to invest in shop and more
tools.
I've invested heavily in books and
magazines the time and energy

to be such a bad thing.

Do you wish you had your mortgage
paid off?
Lifting the plaster paying off the
mortgage, may be good goal to strive
for. Not having mortgage may give
a feeling of security But a better goal,
that will provide actually more securi-
ty. may be making full use of avail
able credit to increase efficiency of
operation.
The success of modern farming or
ranching frequently depends on how
much money can be scraped together.
The need for capital in today's farm
ing is large and continuous. Without
money to invest in land, livestock,
buildings, machinery, feed, fertilizer,
seasonal labor, it is impossible to make
use of ones own labor and abilities.
It takes a large amount of invested
money to make decent living in farm
ing or ranching The fear of nortgag-
ing and the worry of being in debt
seems small compared to not operating
efficiently and prOtltaDly.
Need to Live
The modern farm wife won't live in
tent, as the song goes, or in a log
cabin, as the homesteaders did. Should
you expect her to? How are you going
TO build new home or remodel the
old house when you are already having
a hard time raising money for a ma
chine shop, paying for the fertilizer,
feed, and grocery bill?
Mortgaging is practical and logical
means of raising working capital.
When I started to build UP my cow
herd, the local bank gladly lent me
the money, but the note was subject
to annual renewal My banker ci ID
the money l used to buy stock cows
a ''two-year deal.'' Is it possible to
pay off the indebtedness on herd
of cows in two years? Mortgaging the
ranch on 20-year pay basis has
eliminated many sleepless nights.
We like and enjoy the values of long
term mortgage credit. We've been able
to operate more efficiently, live better.
Not only have we had the money to
build the cow herd to Sizable number,
but we have been able to accumulate
a wide variety of machinery. We pur-
chased the hydraulic hay stacker that
has cut the expense of haying and
feeding third when cattle prices were
the lowest. We have remodeled our
house, have lived well; taken few
trips about.
Capital for Experiments
There has been money available to
carry on experiments and increase
grass production Many of the things
that we have tried have been costly
experiments. For instance, we con-
structed 20 miles of electric fence to
see if both cattle and sheep could be
run on the same range. The benefits
of having money to hire labor, invest
in equipment and carry on experiments
and to live comfortably have made
having lien on the place seem small
by comparison.

Loan Association-Land Bank in SpO-

ST. LOUIS. Sept. IT (AP).-
Deane Beman, 22-year-old Uni
versity of Maryland senior from
Silver Spring, Md. today added
the National Amateur golf
championship to his British
Amateur triumph of 1859 by de-
feating Bob Gardner of New
York, 6 and 4, at the st. Louis
Country Club.
Beman. a compact, little guy
who loves pressure, displayed
brilliant iron play and clutch
putting when he needed it the
most as he routed the 39-year-
old New Yorker with spec
tacular 5-under-par golf for
the 80 holes. Beman, a member
Of the Bethesda Country Club,
is only 5-feet-7 and a l43-
FOUNDER, but he played like a
real champion all day.
Deane Never Headed
Beman. winning his first Ma
tional Amateur in five tries,
had a 3-under-par SO for his
morning round as he built up
a Sup lead over his dapper,
older rival. a New York public
relations man.
After lunch, the little COL
legian was a bit more conserva-
tive-content to match Gard
ner'S steady drone of pars over
the 6,6l6-yard course until the
chance for a birdie came up.
Then. sensing the kill, he
hammered in an 18-foot putt
on the 26th hole to go 4 up
and hit an approach shot 4
feet from the pin at the 3lst
as if directed by radar and got
another birdie. There he
wrapped up the match with a
par 4 to Gardner's bogey S at
the 32d.
Cheered on by his wife Min
ME, who is expecting their Sec
ond child in January, the
Maryland youth with the cher
ubic face and confident air
never gave Gardner a chance
after the first nine holes. Be-
mans parents also were in the
gallery throughout this steam
ing hot day.
Gardner Puts Well, Too
A four-foot putt went down
for a birdie at the 11th and
a conceded birdie 3 at the
18th when Gardner's approach
sailed out Of bounds made it

had four brides on the second
nine holes.
Beman's lead might have
been greater except that Gard
ner, playing in the Amateur
for the ninth time. came up
with matching birdie puts of
20 and % feet on the 18th
and 18th to stave of losing
both holes.
After lunch, with the gallery
grown to perhaps $500, Be-
man at once indicated he was
going to play it easy-gambling
bling only when the odds looked
in his favor and letting Gard
ner take chances if he wished.

MoRGANTowN, w. Va,
Sept. E.-Maryland scored its
first three times with the foot

to-8 triumph over West Vir-
ginia.
The TerpS were impressive
enough to give warning to the
Texas Longhorns, the defend
ing Southwest Conference

Maryland's sophomores per-
formed like old hands as they
helped overpower the Noun
taineers and make it a dismal
debut for Gene Corum, the new
coach. The Terps were ahead
by II points before West Vir-
ginia scored, and the Noun
taineers didn't threaten after
that this rainy afternoon.
The victory before the $4,000
fans. including a damp but
hardy group from Maryland,

Hit First Seven Passes
Quarterbacks Richie Novak

first seven passes, including No

to Gary Collins that gave the
Terps a6-0 lead. They missed
the next four passes before
halftime, and Maryland stuck
entirely to the ground in the
second half as the rain in
creased.
A pass interference penalty
against West Virginia set up
Maryland's second touchdown
