Good range grasses can not establish themselves where there is dense stands of cheat grass or sagebrush, unless these precautions are used.

"Soil Conservation Service tech nicians will assist the Northern Utah Soil Conservation Distric; ; cooperating farmers in selecting 5 suitable planting sites, choosing adaptable seed varieties, proper methods, and managing the range after planting. Reseeding alone will not serve as an answer to the farmer's or rancher's feed problems, unless h also practices proper range man agement, he added. The seedilngs are easily damaged by grazing, and should be allowed to make seed heads before they are grazed. This precaution represents little sacrifice on the part of the operator, since the young plants would afford veiy little forage before they get established, he pointed out Grass IsProfitabIe6 Crop' '-' - v " ft "i.

S. Hamilton, distrirt conservationist. "Since field operations got underway in the District in 1940 there have been an average of 353 acres of depleted range land seeded each year. However, there are 608 acres to be reseeded by cooperating f armers this year," the Service official said. "Sagebrush areas, salt grass tracts, cheat grass and weedy sites should be considered potential areas for reseeding .purposes." "The possibilities of reseeding have been demonstrated by some 25 experimental plantings of crested wheat grass through the West, which showed that good revege- feed may not be available. It withstands drouth that would result in failure of other crops, requires little labor to produce, and checks wind and water erosion." According to the conservationist, grass seed Usually can be drilled in tracts of land supporting Russian thistle and other annual weeds without any preliminary prepar ation of the soil. Some vegetation helps in preventing erosion and evaporation of too much rainfall and thus usually aids the grass in establishing itself, he said. However, weeds must be destroyed when they are thick enough to compete with seedlings for the limited water supply. Most seed, he explained, will feed through an ordinary grain drill if the box is properly filled and if an agitator, which easily may be attached to the grain box, is used Exceptionally good stands have been attained in Northern Utah by using listers equipped with seeding attachments for revege-- i tating cheat grass sites. On heavy tated areas can yield up to 400 per cent more forage than adja- cent unseeded ranges. "Other considerations as well as forage production make artificial reseeding advisable.
