PASTURES ON NORTHERN
RECLAMATION PROJECTS

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-The best
agricultural development of the north.
ern reclamation projects depends chief.
ly upon the establishment of live stock
industries, according to circular on
the use of irrigated pastures recently
issued by the Bureau Of Plant Industry
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
to meet a demand for information on
this subject. The use of irrigated pas
lures as summer feed, particularly for
dairy cattle and sheep, is almost as I'M
perative ON these projects because of
the scarcity and high cost of labor dur
ing the summer. This need becomes in.
creasingly acute as the number of stock
increases and the area of untitled land
on and near the farm decreases.
The information in the circular is
based on experiments conducted during
several years by Federal and State
agencies at the Huntley, Montana,
Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and Belle Four
che, South Dakota, field stations, and
at the ,iooding, Idaho, Experiment Sta
lion, by the University of Idaho; and
on observations made during the past
four wears on eleven nCIthern reclama.
ton projects. ..
There is reason to IeEeve that, while
the carving capacity and methods fol-
bowed vary on the different farms under
observation, with good management an

acre of pasture will support two cows
or their equivalent in other live stock
for from four to six months each year,
depending on the location of the pro-
ject. 1t also appears that under favor
able local conditions and proper care,
the stock carrying capacity of there pas.
lures could be increased somewhat from
year to year.
Farmers in the Salt Lake Valley Of
Utah have found that irrigated pas
lures are profitable on land which is
valued at 5000 an acre. A dairy farmer
in the Snake River Valley Of Idaho re
ports that his irrigated pasture carries
three cows per acre.
The value of such pasturage can be
stated in terms of hay replacement. Two
COWS will consume approximately ton
of alfalfa each month. If this hay il
valued at S. a ton, the hay replacement
value of an acre of irrigated pasture
would be S. a month. The length of tho
pasture season varies from four to six
months, depending ON the climatic con-
ditiOns on the different Projects. Hence
the hay replacement value of an acre
of good pasture can be estimated at
from $50 to $50 year. These hay re
placement values would, of course, be
greater when the price of hay exceeded
S. ton. In connection with this, it is
important to consider the fact that the
use of pastures requires much less labor
than the feeding of hay and that good
pasture is at least equal to, if not better
| than, hay as feed for COWS. Such re-
turns as these fully justify the use of
some of the best land on the farm for
irrigated pasture.
| Not all the farmers who have tried
irrigated pastures have obtained salts
factory results, but in most cases the
| failures have been due to causes which
, might have been prevented. One com
mon error is the belief that the pasture
should occupy that part of the farm
which does not produce satisfactory
yields of farm crops. Many have at
tempted to produce results on shallow
soil or land that is rocky and unsuited
for pasturage. Careless preparation Of
| soil and poor seed are also common
causes of failure. Low carrying capa
city frequently is due to the fact that
only grasses are used, whereas it is lie
sirable to include one or two clOvers

lief that We have automatically side
stepped the danger of great war we
are suddenly confronted with the posi-
bility of serious trouble with England
over her now famous blacklist.
First it was Mexico, and after many
long months of notes and talks and
confabs and the mobilization of troops
silver lining appeared in the clouds
and war was deferred, at least.
Then differences with Germany arose
and for long time we tottered on the
brink of deadly strife. That happily
was eventually removed and we breath

terfere with the emergence of the Young
plants. On light soils, however, wheer
the upper ; or inches dries out very
rapidly, it frequently is necessary to
seed in dry soil and to irrigate immedi-
ately after seeding In such instances
tn" use of the corrugation method Of
| irrigation during the first year is par
ticularly desirable, and the land should
be prepared accordinglv.'
Regarding pasture crops the publica.
ton says:
"There are in use in irrigated pas
lures variety of crops in almost IN
numberable combinations. In great
majority of cases. however, the best re-
suits are secured with "a mixture of one
or more grasses and at least one variety
of clover Sweet clover alone is used
to some extent on a number of the pro.
jects, but no information has been Sc
cured which appears to warrant any
general recommendation of this crop in
preference to mixed grasses for irrigated
pastures. Some cases OF sweet clover
bloat have been reported and it has not
been possible to secure any reliable data
showing that sweet clover has high
carrying capacity. The use of alfalfa
as pasture crop for cattle or sheep
cannot be recommended for the north

seems to be no doubt that it is advis

crops to the grasses and clovers.
"There is little uniformity at preseu
as to the kinds of grasses and clover
used. Some pastures contain only
single grass and no clover, while Othc'
have as many as seven or eight grass
