The projects include sage brush control and range re seeding on nearly 20,000 acres. The Malheur County ASCS Committee is again providing cost share funds of 50% of the cost up to $1,000 per operator according to Jim Christian, Of fice manager for the County ASCS Office in Ontario as soon as possible. Past experiences have shown that sagebrush control doubles the amount of grass production on ranges having a good under story of grass. Reseeding pro vides a reliable source of feed on acres not previously pro ducing their potential forage. C rested Wheatgrass is the grass most often selectedbyoperators since it does well in our dryer climate. Reseeding sites should be those having deep soils with a clay content adequate to hold moisture. Bain said that in the past three years there have been approximately 45,000 acres of such range reseeded.
