Soils in Oregon
1
•
«J r** ‘ •
What a lot of people call “ over-
grazing” is really loss of soil on
the hillsides, says a circu lar re
leased by the Oregon State col
lege extension service. No amount
of rotating or reseeding o r any
thing else w ill ever replace it, it
warns.
E. R. Jackman, OSC extension
range crops specialist, who pre
pared the leaflet, says several
things can cause this soil loss.
One of them is a lack of dead
plant cover on the ground. Drputh
is another, when hardy dryland
grasses haven’t been planted. Fire
can destroy the plant cover so the
soil is defenseless against moving.
A replacement of perennial grass
es by annuals may, cause trouble
because the annuals don't always
make a heavy cover o r the cover
may burn. Finally, heavy infesta
tions of grasshoppers o f crickets
or worms may destroy plant cover
and result in soil loss.
Not a ll of these things can be
prevented, Jackman , writes. The
firs t cause listed -lack of dead
plant cover on the ground -is most
im portant and applies to more
acres than a ll of the others put
together. A good rule is to leave
half the growth to fa ll down on
the ground and form a cover, the
specialist explains. Just one year
won’t help much, but if this is
done every year, soon there w ill
be less runoff w ater and it w ill
be clear.
I f there isn’t enough growth to
cover the ground, no m atter how
it is pastured, the specialist sug
gests reseeding the range. T hat
is, if there is any soil left or if
it isn’t too rocky. IT the range
can't be worked, i t ’s best to hold
stock o ff e ntirely fo r several years
to see if grass w ill come.
Some suggestions listed in the
circular fo r saving range soils are
reseeding the best sites: provide
crested wheat o r rye pasture fo r
spring use so the
can grow
high enough th a t some can be ¿eft;
provide lots of watering places to
scatter stock; use diversion ditches
to handle runoff and make possible
use of w ater; and use fences to
prevent stock from overgrazing
south slopes.
Copies o f the extension circular
are available from county exten
sion offices and OSC.
