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-

answered through recommenda
tions that nitrogen and phosphate
fertilizers be applied in late win

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
