FUEL GAS CO. REPRESENTATIVE

Speaking at a Ladies Night din
ner meeting of Port Clinton Lions
last Thursday night, Jane Magrud-
er of Columbus, representative of
the Ohio Fuel Gas Co., gave inter
esting insights into key factors
that permit Ohio Fuel to serve
homes and industries in this area.
Ohio FUELS new gas supply in
Louisiana, the companys more
than IA, 100 miles of pipeline and
underground storage are among
the key factors as Ohio Fuel Gas
serves more than 100000 homes
which use natural gas for heating,
she said.
Gift sets of glasses jackets were
given to members wives.
Miss Magruder said the number
of homes using gas heat in Ohio
Fuel territory is 10 times greater
than eight years ago. She told how
gas is transported here from the
southwest in big pipelines which
cost millions of dollars, and is
warehoused by storage in eight
underground storage fields at a
cost of $37 million.
A color movie, The Toughest
Inch' illustrated one of the most
interesting parts of the problem of
getting enough gas in Ohio to pro-
vide heat for more than 1885, 900
homes.

for nitrogen fixation be increased?
Answer: By increasing grass produc-
ton. In most cases this means not
grazing so heavily, or grazing in such
a manner that favors grass growth.
A healthy grass plant will replace one
third of its roots every year. Under
nourished and closely grazed grass
plants produce very few roots. Cen
orally, the more top growth, the more
roots there will be and the more food
there will be for the nitrogen-fixing
bacteria. Fertilization, itself, by stimu-
lating top and root growth will aid in
the production of nitrates from the air.

We Raise Nitrogen
On Our Range Lands
By ARTHUR d. MILES
Park County

In this article the author draws
and his own years of experience
as a practical range operator to
advance some observations on the
Importance Of nitrogen in grass and
forage production and methods of
increasing nitrogen production.
A FRIEND AND l were viewing some
range fertility test strips on the range.
The nitrogen response was quite notice
able. The grass had taken on dark
green color soon after the nitrogen
was applied, and the difference in
color was clearly visible from several
miles distance. The phosphate response,
although not as readily apparent as the
nitrogen response, could be detected.
l suggested to my friend, DR.. J. c.
Hide from the soils department of
Montana State College, that the test
strip should have been placed where
there was excess moiSture-where the
snow had drifted. DR.. Hide and wan
dered into a nearby snowdrift area.
We examined urine spot (where
COW had urinated during the winter.
/ said that it looked like the grass in
the urine spot had two or three times
as much volume of growth as the rest
of the grass that hadn't received the
concentrated dosage of nitrogen and
potash from the urine.
DR.. Hide said, Look closer. There
is at least five times greater production
on the urine spot
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01
Legume Fixation

There is another method of producing
cheap nitrates. Raising legumes. Not
only are legumes capable of fixing
large amounts of nitrogen out of the
air, but certain legumes (sweet clover)
are able to absorb potash and phos-
phate that aren't available to grass
plants.
Most legumes also root deeply. AL
falfa can bring up fertility from great
depths go to 80 feet being common in
open soils. But sweet clover also
roots deeply and it frequently will go
down 10 feet feet or more in open soils.
Most grasses, especially the sodding
ones, will crowd out legumes if given
a chance. We have had some luck in
closely grazed pastures of establishing
and maintaining sweet clover. 1t is nee
esary to regulate grazing to allow seed
set, seeding establishment and de-
velopment. Since sweet clover or alfalfa
won't do well if the grass becomes thick
and matted (healthy), different type
of management is carried out in con-
trast to that in which dead-grass-root
fixation is relied upon.
We've had good luck introducing
sweet clover and creeping alfalfa in
disturbed areas, such as roadways
and ditch banks, as well as burned
and closely grazed areas. We've even
obtained some establishment by broad
casting on pocket gopher mounds. Our
best results have been obtained by
drilling on areas we have prepared by
close grazing to weaken the grass
plants and cultivation to further reduce
competition and loosen the soil.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01

sweet clover, for instance, it is neces-
sary to allow enough second-year
growth to provide seed.
1t is also necessary to allow the first
year seedlings to develop. We've found
it difficult to establish sweet clover in
some of the range areas because the
deer won't allow any seed to develop.
We've found innoculation to be neces-
sary for sweet clover and alfalfa on
range grounds and we have not found a
practical method to innoculate broad
cast seed.
Legume nitrate production is of great
Importance in our cultivated pastures.
We sow two-thirds clover (mainly al
falfa) and one-third grass on our cult
waited pastures. We not only are able to
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01
Volume Regulator

Nitrogen (nitrate) is the regulator of
volume of production for hay, pasture
grass, as well as the cereal grains.
No other factor, outside of moisture,
is as important. Considering the in
crease in production on the urine spot,
it would be possible to have five times
the amount of grass, if nitrogen could
be applied to the rest of the grazing
areas.
Nitrogen regulates the amount of
organic matter accumulation. Organic
matter, regardless of source, will de-
compose until a definite ratio of 1
nitrogen to 10 carbon is reached. In
maintaining organic matter, the amount
OF nitrogen will determine the amount
left in the soil after decomposition has
taken place. A low nitrogen source of
organic matter, as straw, will rot al
most entirely away, except for some
of the lignin fraction that decomposes
very slowly.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01
Nitrogen Economy

What is the cheapest way to obtain
nitrogen for grass production? Raise
bacteria that will take it out of the air.
For native pastures (ranges) the
most feasible way at present is to
encourage fixation by nonsymbiotic
bacteria (the bacteria that live free of
plants. Nonsymbiotic bacteria live on
the dead grass roots. The same bac-
terra fix nitrogen in summerfallOw
wheat production.
The bacteria live on the plowed-in
straw. (The nitrogen that accumu-
lates in the summerfallow year doesn't
come from the straw that is plowed
In, for wheat straw contains very little
nitrogen. Nor do the summerfallow nj
trates come from the decomposition of
the soil organic matter. The small drop
OF soil organic matter after many years
of cropping would supply nitrates for
only few crops).
Increasing Root Supply
How can the supply of dead roots
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01
Legume Nitrogen

We use three methods of producing
and utilizing Iegume nitrates. They
are ID growing legumes in pastures
and on the range. (2) growing legumes
on crop land and hauling the nitrates
(hay) to the grass areas, 90 grazing
alfalfa where it grows on crop ground.
Greatest nitrate production, without
a question, can be obtained on cult
waited ground with straight stands of
alfalfa. Introducing alfalfa and other le-
gumes in pasture ground always car
ries the possibility of bloat. Also it is
difficult to manage a pasture to pro-
vide the best chance for the alfalfa to
produce. We've had good luck grazing
almost pure stands of alfalfa after it
is in full bloom. The first cutting at
this stage will support about two ami
NAL unit months grazing per acre.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-07-01
Commercial Fertilizer

Commercial fertilizers have a def
mite and valuable place in nitrogen pro-
duction. Phosphate encourages the
nitrogen fixing bacteria. Phosphate al
so encourages root development of
plants. The roots. in turn, feed the bac-
terra AS more nitrates are produced,
phosphate is needed to balance the
fertility. We have gone over all of our
seeded pastures with $50 pounds of
43 per cent phosphate We apply 300
pounds of phosphate to our alfalfa
meadows before we seed them down.
