MR. FARMER: KSR5 YOUR Electrical Consumption for Various Farm "7 w : Snow survey above average Snow surveys just completed by Clarke Gam and Larry Searle of the Soil Conservation Service show the snow pack to be above average for most of the Utah Lake Drainages. Following is a list of the Snow Course measurements at an elevation of 8,200 feet: Timpanogos Divide's water content is 116 percent of average with 25.6 inches of water and 53 inches of snow. Dutchman Dut-chman Ranger Station (7500 feet) has 32 inches of snow, 13.8 inches of moisture at 141 percent of average. Camp Altamount registers 162 percent of average with 26 inches of snow and 12.5 inches of moisture. Elevation is 7300 feet. Trial Lake measured below average with 67 inches of snow and 25 inches of water. This is 96 percent of average. Number ol for one hour. You can compute your average charge per dollar amount (don't include sales tax or city tax, If any) Utah farmer feeds Like small children who are always clamoring for more of mon's homemade home-made apple pie, the steers at the Robert Call feedlot near Laton, Utah just can't seem to get enough of Call's specially prepared, home-grown silage. Here's his recipe: "the first cutting of alfalfa is packed at the bottom of the silage pit, the second cutting goes on top of the first, then add a layer of corn silage and top it off with the third and final cutting of alfalfa." Call very carefully chops both the alfalfa and corn in the fields. And each layer is firmly packed in the silage pit. "Although,, the alfalfa and corn are placed in the pit in horizontal layers, the silage is removed in vertical sections to provide the desired mix." Call does not cover his silage pit because, based on his experience, "the cost of material and labor is greater than the loss of nutrients." For almost a third of a century alfalfa has played a major role in Call's farming operation as well as his feedlot program. His yield records indicate his know how with alfalfa production six tons per acre per year compared with the local average of only four tons per acre per year. "Selecting the right Soapstone Ranger Station measured 14 inches of snow and 7.9 inches of water for 66 percent of average. Beaver Creek Divide came in at 77 percent of average with 10 inches of snow and 3.8 inches of moisture. Clear Creek Ridge II (9200 feet) contained 46 inches of snow, 18.8 inches in-ches of water for 107 percent of average. Clear Creek Ridge No. 2 ( 8000 feet) registered 128 percent of normal with a snow pack of 34 inches and 13.4 inches of water. South Fork Ranger Stations, Timp Cave, and Clear Creek No. 3 had no snow. Rock Bridge was. not measured this time. Hobble Creek Summit's water content was 13.5 and the percent of average was 175 percent. A house divided against itself cannot stand- I believe this government cannot endure per-manentaly per-manentaly half-slave and half-free. Lincoln Uses variety", says Call, "is the key to top yields. Several years ago Call switched from Ranger alfalfa to WL-309, a variety that was bred for. Utah growing conditions. Interestingly enough, much of the research and breeding for this variety was accomplished by Ike Kawaguchi, a former student and graduate of Utah State University at Logan. Kawaguchi is currently rated as oneof the leading breeders of proprietary alfalfas in the western United States. Call favors WL-309 because "it recovers very quickly, grows tall faster than other varieties, has a deep green color, is leafy all the way down to the ground, possesses considerable con-siderable hardiness and shows greater resistance to pea aphid than other varieties grown in this area." For many years prior to planting WL-309, Call grew Ranger alfalfa, a public variety. "This was a good steady variety ", he reported "but the first cutting was fairly short. And although the second and third cuttings were leafier the total tonnage dropped." "WL-309", Call con tinued, "is a big improvement. im-provement. The first cutting has fine stems, lots of leaves and produces big tonnage. Its annual yield is at least one-third greater than Ranger." To establish a new stand Call plows the ground in the fall. He seeds 12 to 15 pounds of alfalfa per acre in the spring with a nurse crop of barley or wheat planted 120 pounds per acre. Call broadcasts the alfalfa and then harrows it lightly into the ground. The grain is planted at a depth of one and one-half inches. Call harvests the grain crop in the dough stage for silage. "At that time" he reported, "the alfalfa is pretty well established. If you delay threshing the grain the alfalfa yield will fall off. But if you water the field right after harvesting the grain crop you can cut a fair alfalfa tonnage before winter. "Although this crop program does not provide home-grown silage big alfalfa tonnage the first year", Call pointed out, "the grain crop does provide additional income." in-come." Call applies 120 units of nitrogen and 60 to 70 units of phosphate per acre as a preplant. No other fertilizer fer-tilizer is required until the following spring when 100 units of phosphate are applied per acre. Weed control at the Call farm is relatively simple. After harvesting the grain crop the first year Call clips the weed growth and "the alfalfa then crowds out the remaining weeds." Over the years Call has mowed the alfalfa when about one-half of the crop is in the bud stage. He admits, however, that "many of the farmers in this area now determine the cutting time by the new crown growth." Alah Hight, field representative for Germain's, a century old western seed firm, confirmed this and added, "throughout Utah alfalfa growers are tending to A Now, give V"iu yard that beaut ill gummed, ptolcsMi m.il The way you treat your money after the sale is as important as how you treat your crop before.

Call irrigates once before the first cutting and then usually once before the second cutting. If the weather turns unusually hot he waters twice before the second cutting due to his light, sandy soil. The third cutting is irrigated just once. "The old timers", Call remembers, "often watered once a week and eventually killed their stand by over-watering." Call's affection for alfalfa dates back more than 30 years. "It's really a dual purpose crop ", he reports. "When prices are right, it's an excellent cash crop. And even if the price drops it's excellent for rotation, gives the ground a rest and helps improve the soil. And now with varieties like WL-309", WL-309", he conculded, "the increased yield potential increases its value as a cash crop." Whatt n H 1 1 landscape!' look. ..with Ihcdreen Machine'.'
