Gaines Ranchers
Co-operating In
Pasture Program
By TRUMAN FAMBROUGH
Soil Conservation Office
Numerous ranchers cooperat-
ing with the Gaines County Soil
Conservation District rest one or
more of their pastures for part
or all of the growing season each
year in order to have some extra
grass for winter.
Barnie Elam has rested some
pastures this summer and he has
an abundance of dry grass for
Winter and good land cover.
R. C. Pattie has one two-section
pasture that he has stocked
lightly the past summer. The cat-
tle in that pasture last week
were full, laying down, not fol-
lowing the pickup: they were
definitely doing well with no
feed. The cattle in an adjoining
pasture that had not been favor-
ed with stacking rates were
anxious to receive the grain sor-
ghum bundles given to them
and they were not doing as well
with this light grazing the ma-
jority of the good grasses made
a few seed and increased in vigor.
R. J. Boardman rested a two-
section pasture the past growing
season. This pasture has made
a great deal of progress even in
a dry year. There is an abund-
ance of grass and soil cover and
vigor.
Mr. Boardman makes a habit
of resting, one pasture each. Rest-
ing a pasture from time to time
has an accumulative good effect.
