recognized. Inc I1rSL is bottom land
with deep, dark-brown to black soil,
well supplied with organic matter
and a water table within 3 feet of
the surface for to months of the
year. Native hay does best here.
The second type is the brown
bench soil little above first bot
tom. The soil is underlain with
gravel at 2 to 3 feet, the subsoil is
limey and conditions are more suit
able for deep-rooted alfalfa or
sweet clover.
In both types of meadow there
may be great variations in soil. Tex
ture, color, water capacity, subsoil
and drainage and salt content may
vary considerably. Some meadow
soils are acid in reaction and favor
acid-loving plants. Others have ac-
foundations Of aalll lsaaiiii saits. So 10
you wonder that the business of inn
proving meadows is a complicated
one?
Meadows Without Salt Accumulation
Early in August, 1948, after hay
harvest, Prof. T. j. Dunnewald col
lected IL typical sods from hav
meadows on two ranches west of
Laramie. The sods were fitted into
14-inch enameled dishpans 6 inches
deep. They were transported to the
greenhouse and there watered, seed
ed, fertilized, and acidified The re-
sulting crops were harvested, oven
dried, and weighed.
Later, 8 sods were added to the ex-
pertinent from meadows on the Big
Laramie river where the soil con-
tanned from to Ia percent of
soluble alkah salts. But that is a
different story and for the present
We'll limit our discussion to the salt
free meadow trials.
After soaking in tap water for a
week, the IL sods were carefully
trimmed SO that stubble one-half-
inch high remained. To these native
sods was added GA gram of grass
and-legume mixture of equal parts
of timothy, alsike, bronze and sweet
:lover. This represented seeding
rate of about 80 pounds to the acre.
The seeds were scattered on the sur
face of the moist soil and pressed in
with the fingers.
Can Native Sods Be Seeded?
Purpose of this method was to see
II 1t would be possible to seed the
sods with better grass on the undis-
tributed soil, and whether the new
seedlings could grow and develop in
competition with the already estab-
hshed native grass. One to 2 inches
OF tap water was kept in the bottom
OF each pan during the growing
period. Professor Dunnewald found
that the new seedlings terminated
and grew successfully in the undis-
turbed native grass. After the new
plants had attained height of about
inch, powdered fertilizer was
sprinkled on the surface of the pans
and watered in.
The original sods from ranch A
were mixture of native grass grow
ing from to II inches high in the
better meadows. There was a con-
siderable mixture of rushes and

house, olo ulSnpanS nave been turned
to new purpose-holding miniature
meadows for study reseeding meth
DDS. But I'm ahead of my story.
Grass and hay are the foundation
OF a successful ranch, yet over the
years, the trend in Wyoming has
been toward poor quality and yield
of native hay. Many ranchers real
ize that and have been attempting
to reverse the trend
The annual harvest of hay from
native meadows in Wyoming has
approached 100000 acres in extent,
but the average yield has amounted
to / ton or less per acre. Usually
the meadows are irrigated or kept
Hooded through the spring and
summer months. then are dried out.
System Many Years Old
Haying continues into the fall
months until time for the cattle to
Ha moved down from mountain
summer pastures to the meadows
near home. This move may not oc-
cur until September, October, or
even November, depending upon the
approach of storms, snow and cold
weather in the highlands. Then the
cattle are pastured on the moved
hay fields. During periods of storm
or deep snow they are fed from the
stacks or bales of hay stored in ricks
or yards separated from the pasture
by fences or by -and-slab en-
closures.
On some of the older stock ranches
this system of one-crop harvest has
continued without variation for from
so to rs years-without change of
crop, without reseeding and without
any special effort to return fertility
to the soil from which two crops,
crop of hay and crop of pasture,
have been removed each year.
Under this system, low yields have
gradually resulted. In some mead
ows today, large areas often are not
worth moving. Poorer feed types of
grass have replaced the former nu-
tritious grasses which grew when
the soil was new and high in avail
able plant food.
Reasons for Low Yield
Several reasons have been used
to explain this low yield and poor
quality of hay:
l. Leaching and loss of soil fer
tllity is one of the reasons. Perhaps
excess water has been used, flood
ing the meadow during most of the
growing season. Such excess water
has leached out much of the soluble
plant food-mostly nitrogen and or
ganic matter.
2. Increase of weeds and of poor
quality grass such as reeds, sedges.
salt grass, foxtail, dandelions. Soil
conditions have become more favor
able to survival of the less nutritious
plants.
3. Development of alkah salts and
poor drainage. Our irrigation waters
tend to dissolve soluble matter when
they come in contact with saltv
rocks or soils. AS much as 4 to
acre-feet of water may evaporate
from a flooded meadow in summer.

FLIES THROUGH POWER LINE

First Marine Air Wing In Ko-
rea-(AP)-"I always wondered
what il would be like to fly
through power line,' First Lieu
tenant Vernon Bruce of Chico,
Calf. said recently. as he climbed
out of his Corsair fighter and ex-
amined the high tension wire
wound around its right wing.
The Marine pilot didn't see the
350-foot-high electric lines strung
across the Han River, as he and
Captain Bert Perkins. of Los An
geles, Calf, flew into the early
morning sun. Lieutenant Bruce's
plane seemed TO handle all right,
so the two continued on their
mission.
Back on the ground, 1t. Bruce
noted the wires had cut gashes
into the right wing, tail and en-
gine cover. There was also a bull
let hole in an auxiliary gas tank.
It's lucky the tank was empty"
Bruce commented.

ARMY POPPED SEA OFFERS, STRUGGLED
 DURING WAR: FWS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-tR-The Fish and Wildlife Service said to- day US. airforce personnel snug gled furs from Alaska to Europe during World War II.
 The agency made the disclosure in announcing that the sea otterS of Alaska and the Alcutians Islands have done so well, under 40 years of government protection, that they soon may be transplanted to other Alaskan and Aleutian areas.
 This increase was in spite of the fact that many soldiers stationed in the Aleutians took fancy at potting' sea otters," the announce ment said.
 Some of the men tried to take home sea otter souvenirs-still worth several hundred dollars each in some of the worlds markets-but Fish and Wildlife game manage ment agents discouraged the prac- tice.
 Finally, the killing of sea otters by soldiers and the smuggling of pelts to Europe by pilots was stopped by the Army's cooperation.
 A service spokesman added that the airmen flew the pelts from Alaska to Colorado, where they were loaded aboard planes being ferried to England. He said he did not know how extensive the prac- tice was.
 The sea otter population now is estimated at 5000, with the largest number on Amchitka (about 4,000) with the rest scattered in small groups along other islands and coastal areas.
 When funds for winter trapping of animals become available, the agency said, the otters will be trans planted in small colonies on Adak and other islands which the ani- mals occupied before hunters killed them off, and along the Alaskan coast.

 Although too tired to be inter- viewed, Pooler's story was pieced together from other participants in the now seven-day search who accompanied him back.

 "He did everything just right" they declared.
 They gave this account of his experiences:
 When the 36-year-oid engineer plummeted into the darkness, his parachute snagged on tree and left him swinging 40 feet in the air. It was believed that his ankle was broken then when he cut him. self down.
 After sizing up his condition and location, Pooler cut his three chocolate bars into Is pieces-one piece for each day and night of the nine days he figured it would take him to hobble on his broken ankle through knee-deep snows to the island coast.

 basketball isn't exactly the name for it-but it was a wonderful show The House of David teams been and gone. The score, 70 to 46, held little meaning in the minds of spec tators. The game was primarily show, and darn good one.
 The 1900 seats in the hangar built by the Lions Club especially for this game, proved insufficient to accommodate the throng. The admission was S240 and S12O.
 On Wednesday evening final games for this years basketball series were played to determine first second, third and fourth places. In the first game SLUG played Mt Edgecumbe High School, with the latter winning by 1T to 42.
 In the second game, ANB and Co., lumbia Lumber tangled in one oi the most exciting games of the sea- son. At the end of the fourth quarter the two teams were tied at 62 points An overtime three minute period was played with the ANB winning 66 to GA. Keller of Columbia Lum- Der broke his own record of highest number of points made in a single game by scoring 31 points.
 After the second game, Roland Wurster, president of the Sitka Basketball League presented the game trophies, then handed out in- dividual awards for outstanding sportsmanShip. Those winning medals were: Jimmy Price for Sitka High School, Art Hutte for Mt Edgecumbe High School, Julius Douglas for SJS, Harold Donnelly for Columbia Lumber, Tom Guthrie for Mt. Edgecumbe Vets, Frank Ben- son for the American Legion ano Moses Johnson for the ANB.
 Friday evening the Sitka Women's Club held a silver tea for the bene- fit of the Sitka Public Library. After a brief business meeting a book re- view was given by Mrs. William Arthur on "Cry the Beloved Coun- try" by Alan Patton. The book was presented to the library with the money taken in, $2052.
 A large crowd attended the tea which was given at the Lutheran Service Center. This is only one of several such affairs which are being given by various local women's groups to raise money for new books for the library. The idea is the brain child of Mrs. Mary Whittimore who is active in many women5s organi- cations.
