Many times we hear livestock
men say that they would not seed
crested wheatgrass for pasture.
Their reason for not liking It
is that they can not get their
cattle to eat it. Of all the grass
es in this entire country, crested
wheatgrass is the most adaptable
to all soils and climate. It Is
used throughout the entire Uni
ted States, of course more Is seed
ed in the drier areas as It is one
of the few grasses that are able
to produce with a small amount
of rainfall. A rancher who will
disagree with those that do not
like crested wheatgrass is Harvey
Smith, who lives west of lone.
Mr. Smith says that he could not

the statement that there is no
more land for expansion and

this as he clears sagebrush and
rabbit brush ranges and reseeds
to crested wheatgrass. He has
many hundreds of acres yet that
will be seeded as time permits.
Much of this is on overgrazed
range land which has never been
plowed before. The amount oi

Our folks weren't poor, but
there wasn't enough to buy two

one between us. Dad made a rule
that we each could have it for a
