Bonanza Airlines What I started to say was that trees may be obtained from the forest nursery at Utah State University for windbreak of wood-lo- t plantings. They will not accept an order for less than 25 trees and the trees cost from to $4.00 per 100 trees. I have the order blanks in my office. If you plan to plant any trees this spring you ought to order before March 15th for best selection of and early delivery. species Thirteen different species of shrubs and trees are available. Heres a hint to livestockmen. Winter range plants are low in phosphorus. Animals on a low phosphorus diet have lower calf and lamb crops, delayed calf and lamb crops, unsatisfactory weaning weights and a generally lowered production. Besides needing phosphorus, stock will do better if also fed some protien supplement. Protein supplement will help them utilize straw, poor quality hay, weeds and other dry feed found on the range. The wise stockmen will see that his animals are provided with protien supplement and phosphorus during this critical time of the year. Phosphorus mixcan be provided in a ture of salt and bo"he meal.

(Who else would wear em?) Trouble is, I am sure your editor- - wouldnt print my comments. Besides, that hasnt anything to do with soil and moisture conservation, so Id better get back on the subject. In the past few days, I have discussed the deferred grazing practices with Howard Spencer and Carious Judd and we havent been able to figure out how they can meet the requirements of this practice. Both of these men are set up where they can defer a given piece of range until after seed maturity, and we all that it would help the peice of range. The specifications, however, say that we must work out a rotation that will provide for the deferrment of each pasture during the time required to put the rotated deferred system of grazing into effect. Working out a rotation whereby each pasture is deferred during the growing season is quite a problem on some ranches, and every ranch has a different problem. I am going to Salt Lake City next week, and I plan to discuss some of these problems with the State Range Specialist and see what we can work out. It may be, that under present conditions it is impossible' for some ranchers to take advantage of this practice. I wish everyone could- I dont think that there is kny other one thing that would do more to bring about rarlger improvement, than a systamatic deferred grazing, worked in with a seeding and water deveopment program. - 7; 19-3- 0; 28-4- 46-5- 5. 17-1- 2; 29-2- 0 39-3- 4 53-5- 2. |
