E OUR SOIL ★ OUR STRENGTH =
By Cliff Marcus
Grass is the basis for a per
manent agriculture. The secret
to a stand of grass is proper
seedbed preparation, fertiliza
tion, and moisture.
Seedings of new grass should
be done in the spring on a firm,
moist seedbed or early July
after weeds have ben destroyed
and summer rains begin. If seed
is drilled in. seed shallow not
over V2 inch deep, cultipack be
fore and after planting the
seed. Use Brillion Seeder i f
it is available. Use clean adapt
ed high germination seed. Fer
tilize the grass according to the
recommendations of the Alaska
Experiment Station and Ex
tension Service. If a nurse crop
such as oats or barley is seed
ed with the grass it should be
seeded at half the seeding rate
usually used for grain and
should be cut early in the sea
son to allow the grass crop to
grow and develop a root system
to go over the winter.
It is not recommended to try
and establish a grass crop on
newly cleared land the first
year. It would be for better to
seed newly cleared land to an
annual crop to prepare the
ground for the main grass crop
to follow. Brome is one of the
best grasses for our area. It is a
heavy user of water and fer
tilizer and with adequate mois
ture and fertilization high
yields can be expected.
