OSC Pasture Studies
Point Up Advantages
Of Ladino-Grass Mix
More beef from each area of
irrigated pasture is giving Ore
gon State college researchers a
graphic illustration of the old
story that you can grow your own
nitrogen and boost yields with
ladino clover and grass mixture.
Results in pounds of beef per
acre in 1954 show ladino and
grass, 642 pounds; grass and
heavy nitrogen fertilizer, 518
pounds. Not only were beef
yields more than 20 percent high
er from the protein -rich legume,
but fertilizer costs for the ladino
grass pastures were less than
half of those for straight grass
pasture.
II. L. Schudel, OSC farm crop
researcher, says the straight
grass pastures received a total
of 210 pounds actual nitrogen in
seven applications from March
to September. Grass-ladino pas
tures receive a total of only 72
pounds actual nitrogen In two
applications in March and June.
The pastures at Corvallis received
20 inches of water from six ir
rigation "sets" beginning May 11
and ending August 23.
Schudel says small applica
tions of nitrogen to grass-ladino
irrigated pastures are often need
ed to drive out ladino if it be
comes heavy enough to present a
bloat hazard. About 40 to 50
FAMILY REUNION SET
AT LEHMAN SPRINGS
The third annual Summers
family reunion will be held July
9 though 11 at Lehman . Hot
Springs near Ukiah, it has been
announced.
All members of the reunion
clan are urged to make their res
ervations immediately unless
they plan on staying at the dor
mitory and in that case they are
asked to notify Helen Wehrll, of
Fossil, treasurer of the Summer
family reunion clan.
Close friends of the family
planning to attend are asked to
write for reservations stating who
they are close friends of.
percent legume in a pasture is
considered the safe level.
The test pastures were seeded
in May 1952 with a basic grass
mixture of four pounds per acre
each of alta fescue, orchard grass,
meadow foxtail and Tualatin oat
grass. Ladino clover at three
pounds per acre was added to
this basic mixture for the clover
and grass seeding.
Schudel traces the high forage
yields, in part, to pasture rota
tion with 25 days following five
days grazing. Small plot trials
showed that each week of rest
increased yields, on a dry mat
ter basis, about 1000 pounds an
acre while still maintaining good
protein content of the forage.

LITTER BAGS fefe j
14 mile isr'j
HANDY, green-painted litter bag barrels are fast becoming a famil
... iar sight along Oregon's highway system. Sign reading, "Deposit
Litter Bags ',4 Mile" (shown in insert), axe placed on each side
of the barrel locations for convenience in slowing down and using
them for disposition of papers and garbage. The barrel shown
here is being used at a location just back of Detroit Dam on Ore
gon Highway 22, east of Salem. (Oregon State Highway Depart

"Litter Barrels"
Making Appearance
On State' Highways
SALEM "Deposit Litter Bags,
V Mile", is the 'inscription on
signs the motorist will see at
more than 150 Oregon highway lo
cations this summer, according
to an announcement by R. H.
Blalock, state highway engineer.
Over 150 green-painted barrels,
with white-painted "Deposit Lit
ter Bags" have been placed at
strategic places along Oregon's
7,500-mile highway system in the
department's effort to cut down
on costs of keeping the state's
highways clean.
Several major oil companies
and field offices of the secretary
of state are cooperating in this
effort by providing handy litter
bags which may be hung con
veniently inside cars for the dis
position of waste papers and
other garbage. The highway de
partment feels that many people
will use the new litter barrels to
dispose of the garbage, save the
bag and use it again for another
trip.
There are a large number of
trash barrels, which have been
installed in previous years, and
which the Highway Department
is also repainting and convert
ing to litter barrels. Signs are
being placed a quarter-mile on
each side of the barrel locations
so that the driver may have
plenty of tim e to slow down and
take advantage of them.
