3/4 Million Ag
Income Possible
• ...
(Continued from page 1)
crease of only 10 percent on the
one and a half - million acres
would bring in $750,000 more
than at present. This would be a
very modest achievement with
the knowledge available to farm
operators and if a movement to
this end could be worked up an
increase of one or even two mil
lion could be expected with con
fidence.”
L. F. Bredemeier, of Valentine,
district conservationist, reviewed
the facilities of the Soil Conser
vation Service m Holt county.
“We can’t think of using our
land only for this year, or the
next,” he said, “we must get a
vision of 50 or a hundred years
because there isn’t any more land
than that we are already using.
It takes about 2% acres per per
son to feed, clothe and shelter
us, and at present we have on
the average in this country only
acres each. The margin,
therefore, between the bare es
sentials and the things we want
is only % acre, and this is the
land that supplies us with the
income to buy the better things
of life, rather than mere susten
ance.”
He said that by good man
agement it is possible to ex
pand this margin far beyond
our present productivity, and
offered suggestions pertaining
to Holt county conditions in
crop rotations, grasses and le
gumes, hay and pasture.
it is possible to restore the
good palatable forage by grazing
practices, and to rid pastures of
undesirable and unpalatable
plants. Grasses store strength in
the roots for next season’s
growth, and if grazed too long to
enable them to do this, the top
growth is stunted and eventually
the most desirable grasses disap
pear and these left by livestock
take over. We can also materially
lengthen our grazing season by
using new and nutritious cool
season grasses in connection with
the natives, enabling us to main
tain production at minimum cost
indefinitely, and without reseed
ing. However, some of the soils in
the county are beginning to need
fertilizers and soil tests should
be made to determine the defi
ciencies. Much of the county is
also in need of lime for best le
sults in growing legumes, which
if properly inoculated can supply
much of the nitrogen needed to
grow both pasture arid grain
crops.”
Robert Hill, technician attach
ed to the Holt County Soil Con
servation district with offices in
O’Neill, offered the service cf his
staff in farm planning and, to
gether with James Rooney, secre
tary of the O’Neill Chamber of
Commerce, participated in a gen
eral discussion and questions pro
pounded by those nresent.
Several veterans’ ag classes in
the county were well represent
ed. The meeting was held at the
O’Neill public school band room
and lasted 2Vz hours.
