Iroedson Is one of the success
ful ranchers In that area whose
theory is that you must take

prove it as you go along, lie says
that the deep soil of the north
part of the county is the only
asset they have and II you can
store moisture and provide suf
ficient plant food the land will
yield well. He is doing Just that
His practice of double summer
fallow has resulted in some of
the top yields in the county,
was evidenced recently when
yields were established by farms
lor the 1962 farm program, ver
ner is laying plans now to es
tablish strips on his ranch to pro
tect his ranch from a possibility
of wind erosion in years of light
stubble. With a combination of
windstrip cropping and chemical
summerallow to retain much of
his stubble he will be able to
double summerfallow regardless
of the weather. He believes that
the strips in addition to pro
viding protection from the wind
will be an asset in weed and
fire control. For further protec
tion he is building a combination
sprayer-f ireflghting piece of
equipment this year in his farm
shop so that he can spray road
sides and waste areas as welli
as his fields to prevent further I baking
spread of weeds.
