It’s grass seeding time. At
least it will be if the wind ever
stays quiet. Brome grass may be
seeded with a nurse crop or with
out in some parts of the Valley.
In the southern part of the Val
ley, I wouldj definitely recom
mend that brome be seeded alone
without a nurse crop and seeding
be delayed until July. If you seed
in that area before the rains
start and while the Knik wind
still blows you can loose a grass
stand in a hurry. In parts of the
Valley where the wind doesn’t
bother you can seed now with a
nurse crop.
Barley seeded at about a bushel
per acre and brome at about 15
pounds per acre is about the right
rates. Seed the grass shallow. I
recommend seeding the grass
after the barley by using a Bril
lion seeder or broadcasting.
If you must seed together, re
member you’re aiming for a grass
stand, not grain and seed it shal
low. Actually, the only value of
a nurse crop is to get some pro
duction from the land the seed
ing year. The ideal conditions are
to seed brome alone, shallow and
on a well prepared seed bed in
July and fertilize. Don’t seed
brome on land the first year after
clearing. You won’t be happy
with the results.
Vic Falk tells me the Palmer i
Soil Conservation sub-district
will have a Brillion grass seeder
available for rent at $1.50 per
acre. See Cliff Marcus at the
S.CJS. office for details on ar- j
ranging to rent it. If you’re going
to have the grass grow under j
your feet later, better start mo% i
ing.

Willie is enthusiastic. He says a freezer "keeps the best food you ever thaw!” For
farm people a freezer is more than just a convenience. Saves trips to town, saves gas,
saves money. And the food! When you mix up a batch of biscuits—pop some mix in
the freezer for another day. That’s really saving dough!
