Palo Pinto District Suggest Planting j £4
Rules for Getting Better Grass Stand |~
• Anotherrancherr*nthetrac-
district as soon as it is dry
enough to plant,” says George
Moore, Work Unit Conservation-
ist of the local Soil Conservation
Service Work Unit. “The recent
moisture has made conditions
better for grass planting than
we have seen in years,” Moore
said.
Many will plant old fields
either on prepared seedbed or in
dead litter crop grown last sum-
mer. Some will begin their plant-
ing as soon as their fields dry
up enough to start.
Seeding the holes or bare
areas following chaining or tree
dozing has been highly success-
ful in the Palo Pinto Soil Con-
ter grasses to existing stands
of grass. One rancher reported
he scattered the seed in the bare
areas where the tractor ran and
in the holes where the trees
were uprooted.
Planting the seed immediately
after the ground is disturbed
and before a rain is essential.
The first rain melts the clods
to cover the seed and the plant
starts growth immediately when
the soil warms up. If rain has
already packed the seedbed,
some ranchmen will loosen the
soil again with a root rake or
a roller chopper.

the seedbed. His stand was ex-

Other methods used to firm
the seedbed are anchor chains,
pipe drags, and rolling packers.
All methods improve the results.
Some ranchmen prefer to use
the root rake and pile the brush
in order to leave the area
smooth enough to spray for
weed control later if necessary.
A mixture of native or adapted
grasses should be planted.
SCS technicians who are as-
signed to the Palo Pinto Soil
Conservation District can give
you information regarding
grasses best adapted to each
kind of land on your place.
Resting the grass on the seed
ed area during the first grow-
ing season is a must. Hie young
grass seedlings need a chance to
establish a good root system and
to produce viable seed. If the
area is smooth enough, the
plantng can be sprayed for weed
control when weeds offer dama-
ging competition for moisture
and sunlight. Care should be ex-.
ercised to spray at recommend- IFRMYN lOTTINfA

4. Weeds begin growth in the Mrf- Howard Dodson of Bowie
spring before most of the deep- and Mlss Gladys Gilmore of
rooted perennial grasses.
5. The right kind of livestock
combinations and grazing man-
agement were not used.
Hulsey points out that these
undesirable weeds which use 4
to 11 times more water than
grasses and rob livestock of
good forage can be controlled
with 1 pound of 2,4-D per acre.
Usually one application of chem-
icals will give good weed control
throughout the growing season.
Weeds must be sprayed early in
the spring when they are just
about 6 inches tall and growing
rapidly. Pasture weed control
costs about $2 per acre.
To have more grass for graz-
ing this year and to have less
weedy growth in the pasture,
Hulsey suggests a planned range
pasture chemical weed control
program followed by good graz-
ing management. See your coun-
ty agent for information about
