In most cases the sod is too good to break up and do a com plete job of re-secdtng and yet is devoid ot all the tall grasses that make lor high productivity. If it were broken and farmed to a cover crop prior o seeding great care would need to be taken to pre vent wind erosion during the esta blishment period. This year an experiment in mee ting that problem was inaugurated on the Sylvester Bahm taun lou. miles north and one mile east ol Ewing. The work was done as part of Bahm s great plains conserva tion plan with the cooperation of Murray Cox, plant materials spe cialist from the Soil Conservation Service. Prior to the time Bahm purchased his farm his 80 acre pasture had been severely over grazed. Even though it had been rested for two complete years (1959 and 1958) it showed very little pro gress in coming back. There were only very few scattered plants of tall grasses such as the Blue stems and Swichgrass. The plant materials section is conducting several experiments in the north central and western part of Nebraska with a new machine developed for use in such cases. The machine is composed of a standard tool bar with 14 inch lister mole boards, double disc openers, packer wheels, cotton box es and planet junior boxes. The rough seeds such as Bluc stein and Indian grass are seed ed through the cotton boxes anti the small seeds such as Switch grass and Sandlove grass through the junior box. The mole boards are on a 40 inch spacing which means that about one third of the sod cover is destroyed. The seed is placed in a row' in the middle of the furrow where the competition has been reduced to a minimum. Ail planting opera tions were done on the contour. C. R. Hill, work unit conserva tionist said, “This is definitely an experimental planting and even though w'e are successful in esta blishing grass in the rows, it will be some time before we know how fast these tall grasses will spread between the rows and make it a successful seeding.” He estimated that under normal conditions it would probably take 15, 20 or even more years of complete rest to bring this pasture back up to good condition. He thinks that if this planting is successful that the time may be cut to five years be Sylvester Rahm is starting to reuvenate by seeding as part of his great plains contract. Shown is the newly developed range inter seeder and the tractor used in the experiment. All planting operations were on the contour on the experimental range re-seeding work done by Sylvester Bahm. About one third of the sod was destroyed by the furrow’s, reducing the competition for the rows of grass seed which were spaced 40 inches apart. cause of the introduction of tall grasses. Grass was seeded at the rate of 5 pounds of Bluestem and Indian grass mixture, 1 pound of Little Bluestem grass, IV2 pounds of Switchgrass, *2 pound of Sandlove grass and 3 pounds of Vetch per acre. Mr. Lorenz Bredemeler, State It a n g e Conservationist made some line segment studies on this field both before and after seed- J ing. It is planned that each year a re-eheek will be made on these • * ^ • • ♦ ♦* identical line segments to deter mine and measure the rate of re covery. Mr. Bahm has extended an invi tation to any one interested to look over the planting at any time. Mr. Hill explained that for those interested in doing the same type of work, they might like to take a look at it now and also watch is development in the next four or five years. He says that if the planting does prove successful re sult stories can he expected in this newspaper from time to time. ROYAL THEATER I HI. SAT.
