PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SEVEN THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1935. I Short Grasses, Grazed Lightly, will Recover Despite Drought, Grasses of Plains Country Expected Again to Furnish Nutrition. In spite ot tbe fact that 50 to 75 percent of" tbe short grasses have been killed by drought In many parts of the great plains, the surviving plants ore expected to again cover the ground in a short time if pro tected from heavy grazing. Agron omists from the U. S. Department of Agriculture in a survey at the Fort Hays (Kansas) experiment station have found the surviving plants usually are distributed uniformly. Experiments at Hays have shown that 4-inch cubes of buffalo grass spaced one foot apart will cover the intervening spaces in one season if rainfall is up to average. During lasti September and October when more than four Inches of rain fell, buffalo grass plants produced stolons 4 to 17 inches in length. Thi3. and recovery made under watering treatments, in dicate the original stand3 can be re established in a short time, provid ing rainfall is average and grazing light. IThe agronomists who made the survey, D. A. Savage and L. A. Jacob son, recommend that livestock be kept off the grass until about June 1 to encourage the develcpmnt and rooting of stolons and to protect them from trampling Thereafter, they believe moderate grazing will keep down palatable weeds and ad mit sunlight. They recommend mow ing the pastures at intervals to de stroy tall, unpalatable plants. Recovery probably will be hasten ed still more by referring grazing until 1936 and mowing during 1935 to keep the taller plants under con trol. Moderate clipping or mowing to eliminate the shading of taller grasses and weeds has encouraged the spread of buffalo grass sods at the Hays station. Studies were made of closely grazed and severely trampled pastures, mod erately grazed pastures, dry . land lawns, lightly watered lawns and heavily watered lawns. The lawn3 were a part of the station grounds. All areas selected for study were al most completely occupied by buffalo and' blue grama' grass "ptior to' the drought. The number of plants killed aver aged 75 percent on the closely grazed pastures, 65 percent on the moder ately grazed pastures, 45 percent on unwatered lawns. 15 percent on lightly watered lawn and 5 percent on heavily watered lawns. The fact that the death rate on the unwatered, ungrazed lawns was high, indicates that drought, rather than heavy grazing, is primarily responsible. On the pastures, however, close grazing and trampling greatly increased the injury from the drought. As far as known, the short grasses, buffalo grass and blue grama grass, have never before been so badly in been considered fully adapted to the driest sections of the central great plains where they constitute the principal native vegetation. Their nrfantatinn lies in their ability to dry out or become dormant and re vive quickly when soil moisture is nsrain available: in their extensive fibrous root systems; aggressive, low growing or creeping stems, and abil ity of the leaves to limit evaporation during drought by rolling tightly. Plains people always have believed these grasses could net be killed by drought. But after the record breaking heat and drought of 1933 and 1934. it was apparent that many plants were damaged beyond recovery. It was to determine the degree of damage and to make suggestions for recovery that the Hays survey was undertaken. journal ads UrTng you new& cf timely bargains.

WThat will a father give in ex change for his boy. If he knew as little about business, or farming as he does about his boy, business would go to the bow-wows in thirty days, and the farmers' fields would grow up in weeds, and there would be no harvest. Let us apply this story told about the efficiency of the American artil lery to our lack cf efficiency in the training of the boys for the future citizens of tomorrow. During the time while we parti cipated In the great war the French army admired the speed and smooth working of the American arillery. They knew it delivered th goods, that It could be absolutely relied up on when it was needed. A French general said this, the shells go oni; two, three finish. He mean that an airplane got the range, gave it to the gunners by wireless or Eijnal. The battery fired, and back came the signal, shoot. Again it fired a sec ond shot missed, and the aviator told whether it went to the right or left of the object. The third shot usually struck home a direct hit. The. Amer icans did not waste ammunition, every failure to hit the mark was helping the enemy to gain or win. Efficiency was the watchword, hit or get hit. And so it is with life, the first shot is the local school and the boy's dad. The second shot is the boy's dad plus the college. The third shot is the start that the boy got from his dad in morality, spirituality. Have you given your boy an efficient start so that he will make good? Rev. H. A. McKelvc-y i3 starting a series of sermons on "The Ecy and His Dad" Sunday, April 14th in the United Brethren church at Mynard. Bo present at all four of these serv ices.
