Newspaper Page TextPage 4 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, February 28, 1952 i v 1 From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Sevral ranchers have been into the office since last weeks news column on pasture and hay seed ing mixtures for Morrow County. They had various questions to ask, mainly of grasses and le gumes that they had used which were a bit different than the re commendations made in the arti cle. As was pointed out in the column, there are many devia tions, those listed being most de sirable for general conditions. One question that was asked was one that needs to be pointed out here. It was: how much can we expect from our pasture, and what can we do to get this maxi mum production? There are some questions we must ask to answer this question. First, is there adequate water for continuous irrigation, second, what seeding mixture was used, and third, what kind of manage- M MR JO,- cue C I 0 I H E fcrLI I m Sport Coats Styled for Smartness Tailored for Wear.

The third question is answered through recommenda tions that nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers be applied in late win ter and late summer, giving in creased forage over a longer graz. ing period. Clipping the grass to keep it from getting ahead of the cattle and therefore less palat able as well as rotation grazing to give short periods of recovery irrigation and fertilization. Appli cations of nitrogen fertilizer, us ing at least 40 pounds actual ni trogen per acre as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring, and another 40 pounds of nitrogen in early September. This application extends the grazing period into late fall. Now for the first question, what can be expected in way of carry ing capacity. This varies with the irrigation water available. It is best answered by examples of what is being carried on some of our pastures. An example of a well managed creek bottom pasture is that of New't O'Hara's near Lexington. This irrigated pasture has been carrying over three cows per acre. One field of 11 acres was not needed for early pasture so was left to produce hay. 35 tons of hay was taken off. 129 cows were grazed on this field between cut tings as well as for a three week period. Hay from the field win tered 100 cows. At Boardman, Gilmer Bolson, dairyman, is running three dairy cows per acre on an orchardgrass, Alta fescue and Ladino clover pasture. By fertilizing and clip ping, this pasture provides graz ing from early spring through late fall with milk production holding up at all times. On medium to heavy alkali soils establishing pastures is some what of a problem. Generally, the problem is in establishing rather than maintaining. For this mixture six pounds meadow fox tail, eight pounds Alta fescue and three pounds strawberry clover have done well, if anything will grow. The use of 30 tons of barn yard manure plus one to one and one-half tons of gypsum per acre is recommended as an insurance for an established stand. Tree Seedlings Soon Available; Farmers Should Order Now Morrow county farmers who are planning to plant forest tree seedlings this spring for the pur pose of establishing woodlands, shelterbelts or windbreaks should get their order into the hands of the state forester in Salem by the 15th of March, according to county agent Nels C. Anderson, Heppner. This early date has been set because the trees must be lifted from the nursery before the grow ing season starts in Willamette valley where the Oregon forest nursery is located, states Mr. An derson. However, this does not mean that the farmer must ac cept shipment at that time since the state maintains a refroger ating plant where the trees can turn fan 25 NATIONAL MESS 1UU0INO WASHINGTON, 0.

To the march "Spirit of the Sioux" the drill team did an In dian war dance after they had finished their version of the grand march. This exhibition given last Friday at the half of the Fossil game was the last time the drill team will perform this year.
