New Grasses
Being Tried On
Stokes Farm
Klein grass Gordo Bluestem
and Caucasian Bluestem have
been planted by district coop-
crator W. L. (Bud) Stokes Jr.
on his farm south and east of
Bartlett.
These introduced grasses are
new to the Little River-San Ga-
briel Soil Conservation District
according to G. E. Kretzschmar
chairman of the board. Seeds of
these grasses were made avail-
able through the district for
adaptation study purposes.
Stokes who is developing one
of the better pastures and pas-
ture programs locally included
these trial acreages in connec-
tion with his grass nursery or
seed plot. Close study will be
made of each grass and acreage
of any grass showing promise
will be expanded as justified.
Soil Conservation Service
personnel serving the district
are keenly interested in grasses
and grass mapagement accord-
ing to Adrian I. Moore techni-
cian in Bartlett. Not only the
new and introduced grasses he
said but native grasses as well.
We are directly interested in
the plantings Stokes has made.
Moore professed only a pass-
ing acquaintance with the Gor-
do and Caucasian Bluestem
.grasses. Kleingrass he said has
been under observation planting
locally for the past three grow-
ing seasons. The largest and
expanded acreage being located
on the farm of district coopera-
tor Albert Steglich in the Pe-
can Community northeast of
Bartlett.
When asked for an opinion of
Kleingrass he replied. It is as
promising an introduced grass
on fertile cropland as I have
inown in the blacklands.

ons and boys of Fort Worth

WONDER FAX
All o!th& Weed spraying in
the cotton area of Bell County
should be stopped soon as cot-
ton will be coming up within a
few days if warm weather pre-
vails. The drift hazard of 24-D
is erratic and the risk is too
great for any spraying after
cotton begins to emerge.
The drift hazard is in direct
relation to the temperature
wind and humidity. As these
conditions increase the drift
hazard increases. Damage may
occur as much as 2 miles down-
wind from ground applications
when conditions are right for
drift.
Play safe stop weed spray-
ing before cotton emerges.
