It is generally believed that a

also a basic commodity supported
at 90 per cent of parity an in

lead immediately to marketing
quotas ond reduced acreage with
little if any acreage allotment to
new growers. This means that
the majority of that acreage per

alfalfa and potatoes.

Alter several years in the bank

anxious to try the district method
of controlling such lands.

proper handling of this range land.
I An outstanding Irrigation devel
opment and land reclaiming pro
gram has been underway on tne
ranch since Gerber took over its
operation. Much of the irrigated
pasture and hay land was original
ly swampy ground which failed to
produce a maximum of forage be
cause of poor drainage during the
early part of the season.
In 1338 it was decided that the
productivity of the land could be
increased by breaking up the na
tive meadow, providing drainage,
leveling the ground and providing
a good irrigation layout.
The first attempt at this Improve
mcnt work proved so successful
that the program has been con
tinued until a total of 50Q acres has
reclaimed and is producing excel
lent hay, pasture and oats.
Another 200 acres was leveled in
Langell Valley and is used for
growing potatoes, alsike clover and
barley.
To further increase forage pro
duction, sulphur fertilier has been
applied to alfalfa and Anhydrous
Ammonia to the green pasture. On
land from which one crop of hay
was taken before being pastured,
around three tons of hay has been
cut. When two crops of hay arc
cut before pasturing a yield of five
tons per acre was obtained.
The buildings, corrals and other
improvements assembled on the
ranch make Its management a
pleasure and its operation effi
cient. Adequate records are and on an
