Farming Right f
With
Jack White
As we moved through the Spring
of 1985 I anticipated a rather nor-
mal summer in terms of rainfall.
However, it appears that once
again I was wrong. Thus far the late
spring and early summer have
proven to be windy, hot and dry.
That is not good for area forage
producers.
I think it is time that East Texas
producers adopt a low-moisture
management plan As you read
through its components I think you
will be pleasantly surprised to see
its application in all years. It seems
that the practices that maximize
forage production in a dry year are
the same practices that maximize
production in a good year.
The first step is to select a variety
of grass suited to this area. Most
producers are using hybrid ber-
mudagrasses, common bermuda
grass and bahia grass, all of which
are well suited.
The second step is to set ap-
propriate and realistic stocking
rates. Those superstocking rates
are nice to brag about, but on a
year-in, year-out basis it is very dif-
ficult to maintain. The right
stocking rate for you will depend
upon your forage plan, the type of
cattie you run, your hay program
and much more.
Thus far, you have seen nothing
new or dynamic in this article. For
years, you knew the above two
items and have probably practiced
them faithfully. Now, however, let
me tell you the two key ingredients
in the low-moisture plan
The third step and first key
element is to fertilize. Yes, fertilize
even in a dry year. Studies have
shown significant increases in
forage production with proper fer-
tilization in dry years. Basically the
plan is this fertilize before the
tains, not after. Start your fertilizer
program in the spring as usual. As
grass is produced and harvested
vgid£di or neti vcSicu do hay) top-
dress the field, regardless of the
weather True, this will put you in a
position of fertilizer laying on top of
the ground and you may lose some,
but the benefits economically far
outweight the losses.
The fourth step and second key
element is to control weeds. More
forage is lost to weeds than any
other means. They out-compete for
moisture, nutrients and sunlight,
thus making the statement true,
“for every pound of weeds growing
in the field, you could have had a
pound or more of grass.’
Weed control with herbicides is
simple and economical. Granted, lit
may be a never ending battle,
however it .would still be a sound
practice, dollar-wise, if we sprayed
our fields every year. In some
cases, pre-emergent sprays are
most appropriate, in other cases,
post-emergent sprays are more
suited. At this time of the year our
only choice is the latter.
The program may sound simple,
and that is because it is simple. The
only difficult part is that is seems to
be human nature to overstock and
in anticipated dry years we quit fer-
tilizing and controlling weeds. On
the surface we see it as dollars
wasted The truth is. it is cheaper
than buying hay or sacked feed, and
it really works.

Sign Goes Up
Billy W. Flanagan, candidate for U.S. Representative, and suppor-
ters put up signs in the Rusk area last weekend. This one went up on
Highway 84 East following an ice cream social Sunday evening when
ice cream and watermelon were served at the Jim Hogg Park.
Flanagan says similar socials are being held throughout the district
to provide an opportunity for him to meet the public. He says he
believes it is important for both his campaign and representation of
the people of East Texas to be based on personal contact. From left

Mary Flanagan, his mother.

46 percent of all people over 65 and
many younger people as well?
You're invited to attend an arthritis
program presented by the Arthritis
Foundation to get the straight facts
on arthritis and arthritis
management on Thursday, June 13
from 7 to 9 p m at the Jacksonville
Public Library.
The educational content of this
program will benefit many in-
dividuals, as people generally have
more wrong ideas about arthritis
than about any other common
disease.
