And believe it or not they weren't the only ones up LET'S HOPE , tmwwm ,t THEY MAKE ITl there. But there was one fellow that didn't get to go on the hunt. Russ Styler learned that haste makes waste, of good intentions to go hunting or finishing up the job at'h'and.either. Thursday, while he was, trying to finish up some carpentry work, his skill saw hit a knot in the board and bounced into his leg, cutting it quite badly. bad-ly. It required quite few stitches to mend it and Russell has to take life easy for awhile. We are glad it wasn't worse. A fraction of an inch one way or the other would have caused more serious damage.

As rancher Dolph Briscoe says, "We'll either tnrn this country into a desert or we can make it the mot productive grass land in the world." This is the giant root plow. Specially designed lind mounted on Allis-Chalmers tractors it cuts deep into the earth to uproot the brush. ft" '7 y , i 1 .' AtMMi. M-k.tJn-ib- , JLwA-laaAfe t&w list Today rich, new grass has replaced the brush that covered the 100,000-acre Briscoe Ranch. Tall, cattle-producing grass is growing again in South Texas. The reason? A pioneering soil conservation conserva-tion and reclamation project calied root plowing and rangeland seeding i3 plowing under and seeding hundreds of thousands of acres of South Texas. It could mean that an area in Texas as large as the State of Tennessee will be plowed and seeded. An area, much of which has never before been broken by a plow. Years of drouth, decades of overgrazing and the resulting- jungle-like infestation of brush brought 25 to 30-million acres of South Texas the title of "sorry land." But today in areas where ambitious cattle men and construction machinery contractors have gone to work with new ideas to lick the long-standing problem of the brush, they have succeeded. The brush is gone and cattle stand thigh-high in a sea of tall, rich grass. Experiments began several years ago when cattlemen realized the drouth and resulting re-sulting brush infestation had nearly elimi nated the growtn or native grasses and All in one operation the tractor's dozers knock down the brush, root plows scfer the brush roots and new grass seed is planted. was tried. So was burning. They all failed. Then, after a number of modifications, construction machinery contractors and an Allis-Chalmers dealer, working with cattlemen cattle-men and conservationists, developed a wide angling root plow. They proved this plow, pulled by powerful tractors, could bite through the baked earth to the depth necessary to completely uproot and kill the mesquite and cactus. On the Briscoe and Gates ranches near Catarina, Texas in the heart of the "sorry land" this plow, together with a new combination combi-nation of grass seeds, has brought about a dramatic transformation in the landscape of South Texas. Almost a year ago on these two sprawling ranches, big Allis-Chalmers crawler tractors equipped with dozers, 12-foot wide root plows and unique grass seeders went to work on the first large scale job of this immense soil conservation project. On the 100,000-acre Briscoe Ranch, 70,-000-acres have now been root-plowed and seeded, lo do this giant plowing job South turned the soil into a baked, eroded range-j west Construction company used six crawler land that would support only one steer for every fifty acres. Many remedies were tried. Heavy cable chains were attached to teams of crawler tractors to chain the brush down in huge swaths. Big rotating steel-bladed implements imple-ments six-feet in height were drawn by tractors trac-tors to chop the brush down. Deep discing tractors and two crews of tractor operators working around the clock, six days a week over a period of several months. Likewise on the adjoining 83,000-acre Gates Ranch, four more crawler tractors and eigM operators plowed under and seeded a 15,C00-acre test plot In the same operation a specially attached seeder utilized draft from the tractor's fan to blow seed over the plowed earth. This unusual unu-sual seeding operation spread a combination, of blue panicum and buff el grass seed at the rate of four pounds per acre. The seed combination com-bination was also the result of much experimentation. experi-mentation. Neither grasses were native to the area. Blue panicum owes its origin to Australia, buffcl to South Africa. Within a few months the grass proved its virtues of quick germination, its ability to develop deep root-systems. . Today, both quality and quantity range grass that will hold the soil and the moisture, mois-ture, reproduce itself and prohibit the recurrence recur-rence of the "sorry land" covers the root-plowed root-plowed rangelands of the Briscoe and Gates ranches. The transformation has meant that instead in-stead of grazing one steer for every 50 acres under brushland conditions, the South Texas cattlemen will be able to graze one steer for every eight to ten acres. When it is considered that 25 to 30-million acres of South Texas could be subjected to this conservation treatment plus great areas across the Rio Grande in Mexico and others spread across Southwestern United States it proves the statement of II. II. Cook of the Soil Conservation Service at Laredo, Texas, "This is the bigjrest soil con servation program ever undertaken in this country. |
