CONSERv NATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

It will be grazing time again in a couple of weeks. Early graz ing time is a critical period for brome pastures. Fields you seed ed last year should not be graz ed early. You can ruin your grass stand by heavy early grazing.
 The proper management prac- tice for new brorne fields is heavy early fertilization and use as hay rather than pasture. Ii brome is heavily grazed the first producing year the plants are weakened. Weeds such as foxtail are avoided by the cows. The weeds grow strong and vigorous and you end up with foxtal pasture. The ideal situation is to use field for hay two to four years then pasture it couple more. After that it should be worked up and farmed to grain, row crops, or oats and peas for two year period before reseed- ing to grass.
 Speaking of grass, I was talk ing to Bob Webb the other day, He showed me a field of quack ] grass that has really been mak- ing him some money. Neither he nor I advocate seeding quack grass but if you have it you might as we'll utilize it profitably By heavy fertilization he has been able to get some very good pasture. He gets it early, too Areas next to his field have g skimpy sodbound look. His field has a thick vigorous stand o1 young shoots coming up. Tha' field will be ready to graze in week or so. The only difference between the fields is that he ha: been using a fertilization pro gram of six or eight hundred pounds per acre.
 He says heavy fertilization pays. A half fertilized quacl grass stand still stays sodbound Fertilize it heavily and it pro duces just as much milk a brome. If you're tired of fightin quack live with it, it's easier.
