4 THURSDAY. JUNE 11, 1953 THE EAGLE, ■DATTlin TUP AlfUUND 1 HL 1 AillU Columbia county has some areas that are suitable only for grow ing Reed's Canary grass. The grass stands a lot of water, w « lci num spring particularly water from freshets which will kill almost ............................ all of our other forage grass. In addition Reed's Canary grass M used in some wet seepy spots that do not dry up until very late m the sufnmer. One common observation with Reed's Canary grass is that it frowi beautifully if you don't pas ture it. Take the Prescott bottom or the dike roads in any of the drainage districts. Early in the ■pring canary grass will be 12 m > 18 inches high when native paaturr is down to the ground. Yet out in the pasture where it js grazed, canary grass may be ■coming along very slowly. There s a good reason for this that has £een discovered by closely run experiments. Here is why. Heed's Canary grass is a tall growing grass and can not be ■loaely grazed if it is to produce. In fact it has been found in Co lumbia county that canary grass ran be almost killed out with per- svtent over grazing with sheep or cattle. Farmers do not like to see a lot lit iM grass in their pasture and rGOOD FOODS VERNONIA, DON County ORE. in again. coin walrod Extension Agent unused grass is sometimes thought to be a waste and poor manage ment. Not so with Reed’s Canary i grass. ' Leave at least 12 inches of old I growth and let the cattle graze i the new growth that comes up I through. This does not work well I I with sheep and not too well for I dairy cattle but canary grass is I best for beef cattle. I There is considerable flood plain area in Columbiba county that would produce much more feed in Canary grass than in any other crop. Some of the wet areas m diked lands and in the Nehalem Valley river bottom area would be best in Reed's Canary grass. True, canary grass is a weed pest when it is out of place. If land is capable of growing mead ow foxtail use it instead. But any ground that is flooded as late as May 1, and that takes the June freshet, will produce more feed in Reed’s Canary. For the best results handle ca nary grass in pure stands. Be cause it is less palatable cattle will not use it until other grasses are eaten into the ground. Fence canary grass stands by themselves and manage them so that the grass will remain vigorous. On land covered by June fresh ets, leave some growth on the grass when the water comes over it. After the water leaves let the grass get started before turning County Weed Inspector Bob Robinson tells us that C. Curte- man, Delena, used sodium chlor ate on tansy ragwort last fall with very good results. A few young plants are showing up, but evi dently they were ones that were missed by the spray. The sodium chlorate spray was mixed at the recommended rate of one pound to one gallon of water. Where patches of tansy ragwort are known or located early, Ro binson suggests 2,4-D as being cheaper to use than sodium chlo rate with its potential fire hazard. It’s much easier than pulling plants, too. Pulled plants may go ahead and produce seed unless heads are burned. In most cases it’s still not too late to use 2,4-D on tansy rag- to control this Stock kiMer M wort Thinking of weed control re minds us that we saw Canadian thistle in the earlv bud ¿taee last week, i and that’s the time to use 2,4-D. For non-selective spraying I 1>4 to 3 pounds of 2,4-D acid per acre is i desired, but for selective spraying in grain or pasture fields % to 1 pound of acid per acre is suggested. Some grain fields are advanced the point that thefcead is in the boot. Sprays used at that stag.- and after will result in some in jury to the crop. Injury may also occur when the grain is very small, too. Two sprays a year are desirable for good control of Canadian thistle. Just as in the first spray, regrowth of the thistles is best sprayed in the bud stage. This may be rather late in the fall.
