NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
By Lew E. Hanks
The snow is going fast in some
areas. It’s time to start preparing
to fertilize grass stands. The best
time to fertilize is as early as
possible after the snow is gone.
Get out on those fields early in
the morning while the field is
still frozen. When the ground
thaws during the day and freezes
solid at night is the ideal time to
fertilize pastures. That way you
don’t cut up your fields and the
fertilizer is ready to go as soon
as the gress is.
If you figure on seeding grass
this year using a nurse crop,
consider seeding barley for grain
rather than oats and peas. Mr.
Sweatman at the Experiment
Station has had best success by
seeding about eighty pounds of
barley per acre and about twenty
pounds of brome plus fertilizer.
Seed early and cut the barley for
grain. This gives the grass a bet
ter chance of not being smother
ed as often happens when oats
and peas are used.
Another thing—seed the grass
with a fertilizer spreader or Bril
lion seeder. If you seed in the
drill with the grain it usually
goes in too deep. That’s a big
/eason for poor stands. If you
seed grass alone on fields subject
to the Knik winds, seed in early
July. There’s lots of good grass
stands in the Valley. You can
have one too if you do it right.
Good luck.

BROOKS APPOINTED
VALLEY REPRESENTATIVE
FOR JOHN DEERE
A1 Brooks of Brook’s Equip- |
ment Co., has been appointed
Valley representative for nation
ally-known John Deere Farm
implements, by Alaska distribu
tors, Northern Commercial Co.
In over a century the name
John Deere has earned and held
the respect of farmers the world
over. The distinctive green and
yellow of John Deere equipment
is a mark of pride and profit to
John Deere owners who buy,
with confidence, the equipment
bearing this color combination
and the world-famous "leaping
deer” trade-mark.
Farmer confidence in the name
John Deere was not gained over
night—the first steel plow ever
built was by John Deere in 1837—
nor was it born of short-cut dis
counts, or wild trade-in allowan
ces. It was built upon a quality
product, correctly designed, and
properly built to give the farmer
purchaser the maximum service,
over the longest period of time,
at the lowest possible cost.
Valley Farmers may contact
Brooks at his farm for demonstra
tions when equipment arrives.
The implements are expected to
arrive soon according to Brooks.
