High Cost
OF Pasture
Studied

Agricultural engineers, crop
specialists, and soil management
researchers of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture have begun
three-pronged attack on the high
cost of pasture establishment.
This research project is being
carried on by USDA's Agricul-
tural Research Service, in coop
Grafton with experiment stations
in several states according to Del
bert T. Foster, County Agent,
Montgomery County. He says the
researchers want to find ways to
reduce the high cost of pasture
land preparation, fertilizing, and
seeding, and to learn the cause
of the numerous failures of pas.
ture seedlings.
Preliminary tests during the
past 6 GEOGRAPHICALLY in the
South indicate that farmers
may be able to establish hay and
pasture crops for less than the
currently estimated annual fig
ure of $500 million for legume
and grass seeds and fertilizer.
Foster reports that the expert.
ments show it is possible to es-
tablish good stands with one
half the seed and one-third the
fertilizer commonly regarded as
necessary with conventional seed.
ing methods. FertiliZing at a
lower rate, with proper place.
ment, helped to hold back weeds,
which are a major problem in
pasture establishment.
This research is especially inn
portant to farmers participating
in the Conservation Reserve of
the Soil Bank Program, Mr.. Eos,
ter points out. Under the new
law, farmers receive payments
amounting to about so per cent of
the cost of establishing a cover
the first year and land rental pay
ments each succeeding year their
contracts are in effect, provid-
ing they agree not to Craze the
land or harvest hay crop from
it. However, should their first
seeding attempt fail, they must
stand the full cost of establishing
the pasture crops in subsequent
years. 1t now takes, on the aver
age, two years to establish a seed.
ing.
Additional research on pasture
establishment is necessary, not
only in the South, but also in
other areas of the country, ac-
cording to the research report.
A number of factors influence
the success of pasture seedlings,
including the preparation and
firmness of the seeded, depth of
seed planting, precision place
ment of seed and fertilizer, firm
ness of the soil around the seed,
the final condition and form of
the surface SOIL and row spac,
ing of drilled seed.
A number of other States have
indicated their interest in con-
Quoting similar experiments.

 The Army and Air Force have been racing to develop an oper- a+ional missile capable of carry ing a nuclear warhead to targets 1,500 miles away. The Army has conducted one successful test firing of the Jupiter. The Air Forces first test of its Thor failed
 After the Army had complained to Wilson, the Defense Secretary said formally that ''perhaps" his statements about the Jupitor "had been somewhat misinterpreted.' Wilson said he had intended tc convey that only one IRBM will be considered for operational use

Late April Nenana Break Predicted afte,. ,lnny Winter Th;ns vce
By D. F. TUCKER

That time of the year is here again when mans judgment on weather conditions are a thing of value. There is small under current of excitement here at Nenana this year. The weather has been fairly warm the last few weeks, and an unusual amount of snow fall, something we have not seen in many year. The Nenana Ice Classic tripod is being erected today under the watchful eye of many an oldtimer such as Charlie Cries, T.. c. Olson, Ray Fredricks, Fred Mueller, and Butch Brun- dage. I measured the ice at the location of the tripod. It was 23 inches, with approximately 30 inches of packed snow on top and a good 8 feet of water below the ice. This issz something new, for many years previous there has been up O. 40 inches of ice and
 only to feet of water under
 heath. z Charlie Cries believes it looks like a late April breakup. Have talked to many of the In- dian residents here and they say
 it is a funny winter, Will have more to report in a few days :.
