H. K. Dean, superintendent of the
Umatilla Field Station here, tells
something about good pasture, of its
use, and profits derived from it.
“Pasturing is the oldest type of
agriculture now in existence yet it
has received far from adequate con
sideration from the standpoint of
making it the most profitable.
“Pastures under conditions on the
project here should furnish nearly
half of all livestock feed, yet have
generally received only minor con
sideration in planned agriculture. A
well cared for pasture on good land
will carry two cows per acre, and be
as profitable as any land on the
farm. The day has gone when waste
land is good pasture land.
“Mixed grass and legume pastures
make more feed on the heavier soil
types but on our lighter soils sweet
clover, because of its deep root sys
tem which enables it to gather a
uniform moisture supply, will pro
vide more feed. It should be remem
bered that grasses and the smaller
clovers are shallow rooted and must
have heavier soils which retain high
percentages of moisture. Mixed grass
pastures are limited to an estimated
ten percent of the soils rere.
"As an emergency measure when
other pasture is short, thin stands
of alfalfa carrying enough grass to
minimize the danger of bloat, may
be used the last year before plow
ing up. These thin stands are not
profitable as pasture over a period
of years.
"In order to secure a good seed
bed for grasses and legumes it is
extremely important that the seed
bed be firmly packed. Loose, poorly
prepared seed beds cause more fail
ures to secure satisfactory stands
than any other factor, except wea
ther conditions.
"One of the advantages of divid
ing the pasture into two or more
lots is the fact that plants in pas
tures too closely grazed will not de
velop extensive root systems because
of the fact that leaf surface is nec
essary for a plant to develops prop
erly. Pastures grazed continuously
and closely, never have an oppor
tunity to make normal growth or
produce the amount of feed they are
capable of, if the stock is rotated
and the alternate pastures given an
opportunity to recover while the
stock is in the other pasture.
"One of the points to be consid
ered in selecting the part of the
tarm for pasture, is to put it on the
best land on the farm. The pasture
should be established as near as
practical to the barns and corrals,
so that stock can be conveniently
handled. The location should be
such that frequent irrigations can
be given with a minimum of loss.
Land which has previously been In
cultivated crops is desirable due to
the fact that there will be a mini
mum of weeds present to retard the
growth of the pasture plants. It is
necessary to again repeat that the
best land on the farm Is none too
good for pasture.
MADRAS—A forage grass nursery
has recently been established on the
Hay Creek ranch in Jefferson coun
ty by Assistant County Agent K. W.
Sawyer, to enable stockmen to ob
serve the performance of the various
grasses under conditions in this
district.
Grasses included were
awnless blue bunch grass, tall mea
dow oat grass, little blue grass, fair-
way grass, meadow fescue, bulbous
blue grass, Idaho fescue, agropyron
sibricum, smooth brome, Indian rice,
big blue grass, crested wheat grass,
slender wheat grass, poa secunda,
blue bunch wheat grass and orchard j
grass.
