Orchard Gras-, has steadily retained its position as a pasture grass because of palat- ability. It staits growing early in the spring and continues uniil frost. It produces well during the summer heat on fertile soil with adequate water. Akaroa, an orchard grass from New Zealand, has become a very popular grass in Western Oregon pastures. It is finer-stemmed and more leafy than the common strain of orchard grass. Another populai trait is tiiat it does not clump a- ni'.ich as common orchard grass. A combination of orchard grass »nd ladino clover produces good lay, siiage or pasture. The strain \karoa is more desirable for hay because it matures about the same time as ladino clover. If allowed to reach full maturity before cut ting for hay, the seed stems will be large and coarse. Alfalfa and orchard grass com bination for hay has been tried with good results. A new planting on the Q—X Ranch near Kerby is worth watching. Orchard grass will respond read ily to nitrogen fertilizers. Twenty to forty pounds of actual nitrogen per acre will increase the yield of forage each year. If legumes are planted with the orchard grass, phosphate and sulfur should be ap plied in addition to the nitrogen.
