"Right at the top of our list

When Eraeet SpaixieraA
came to this farm IS yean
ago il was a run down place
with old buildings, fences
down and weeds all over the
fields. His neighbors warned
him when he moved in that
ha could hardly expect to
make a living on such a place.
In fact, one estimated that be
wouldn't stay there more than
a year.
After only 10 years now,
Mr. Spatzierath has modern
buildings plus all the farming
equipment necessary, includ
ing two beet harvesters and
two sprinkler systems. His
reputation as a producer of
good registered Aberdeen
Angus breeding. stock has
grown each year.
And to make the success
story even better. Mr. Spat
zierath has only been in
America for 21 years. He
came over to this country
just 21 years ago from Ger

supply ditches, diversion dams, head
gates or any of the other headaches
connected with a conventional grav
ity ditch system. The water is
pumped from the Missouri river with
a lift of about 15 feet.
Better germination of all crops,
more efficient water use and easier
irrigating are the factors that Ij/lr.
Spatzierath thinks will give him his
money back within 3 or 4 years. The
investment amounts to about $9,000
in the two sprinkler systems with
trailers, motors and pumps.
Registered Angus
The registered Aberdeen-Angus
breeding herd consists of 125 cows
and this number may be nearly
doubled as a result of the extra pas
ture available from sprinkler irriga
tion. Spatzierath has been running
his herd on beet tops and grain
stubble for a few months in the fall
From about Christmas time to June 1
they are fed hay. Then they are put
on irrigated pastures. With the
sprinkler systems he thinks that his
pastures may be ready for some use
a month earlier—by about May 15.
Good management practices that
have helped build up the farm in
clude the use of all barnyard, manure
available plus plenty of commercial
fertilizers. The commercial fertilizer,
10-20-0, is used on beet fields at 200
pounds to the acre and on alfalfa at
100 pounds per acre. The crop ro
tation plan calls for alfalfa, left some
times as long as 6 years, then grain,
with weed chemicals also taking care
of any alfalfa re-growth, and finally,
sugar beets are grown up to 3 yean
on the same fields.
Properly roasted meat is more ten
der, shrinks less and retains more of
its nutritive vâlue.
