A. N. RATTING. Editor-Publish- - iir n.nj Northern Utah SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT NEWS COLUMN It is about time for some of the older pastures to be plowed up. It is doubtful if the organic matter is increased very much after the fifth or sixth year. EXCEPTIONAL CORN YIELD FOLLOWING PASTURE Russell Forsgren of Corinne plowed up a twenty acre field of irrigated pasture in the spring of 1953. Twelve acres of it were planted to sweet corn and eight to barley. Both crops yielded well with about 110 bushels of barley per acre and 8.6 tons of corn per acre. The corn yield was exceptional as shown in the weight of ears trucked to the cannery as well as the growth of fodder. The husked ears averaged a foot in length and over a pound in weight. They were well filled to the tip and no worms were found. The height and evenness of the corn patch gave the passers-b- y the impression that it was field corn early in the season. The pasture was seeded about 17 years ago. A good stand of mixed grass and clover was still producing well when it was plowed under. Reeds canary, meadow fescue, orchard grass, white dutch and strawberry clover were dominant at the time. Both beef- cattle and sheep have been pastured on a rotation grazing basis in recent years. It has been fertilized with a limited amount of barnyard manure and comercial fertilizer. This confirms the claim that irrigated pasture is an effective way of building up the fertility in your soil. The building up in organic matter is much greater than where the forage is cut for hay and hauled off the land S C D eat comes from we Everything the soil. S C D LAND LEVELING GOING STRONG On Sept 16 we totaled up the land leveling for 1953. By that date we had field checked the leveling of 1270 acres, with an additional 553 acres in process. This is a substantial increase over the amount we had leveled at this time last year. There is plenty of land leveling equipment available. At the present time there are eleven carryalls owned by contractors. There also are six or seven individual farmers doing their own leveling. If the weather holds in our favor this fall we should be able to break the record set in 1949 of 1937 acres. However, there has been a distinct slowing up in requests for surveying this last week. If this slump continues very long there will be a number of carryalls idle. So you farmers who intend to level land this fall get your fields cleaned up and your we can give stakes set out you fast service now until snow falls. - S C D of the soil is the wealth Fertility of the nation. HOGS still lift CONTOUR STRIP CROPPING ONN THE INCREASE The wheat acreage reduction has given contour strip cropping on the dry wheatland the biggest boost it has ever received In the higher rainfall areas there will be some spring feed grains planted in place of the wheat, but in the remainder ot the District the farmers nearly all plan to seed alfalfa and grass. The nice part about this increased alfalfa acreage is that with few exceptions the farmers plan to use this as a means to establish a strip crop system. All the time we could spare the last few weeks has been spent in laying out and measuring the acres in three strips. W just completed running out the last strips that Dick Allen needs to finish up the strip crop system on his Rattlesnake Pass Hanch. We are particularly pleased to see Dick get his strip croppin.? established because ho is at the bend of a watershed.
