CONSERVATION
NOTES
By LEW E. HANKS
of the Soil Conservation Service
Your correspondent mentioned
cecently something about the
way “grass farming” has taken
over the country. The more I
think about it, the more surprised
I am at the change. When I was
a kid (and I’m not so ancient even
yet), the pastures on our farm
were on the rough, poor hillsides.
They supported a sparse stand of
bluegrass that the cows grazed on
continually all season. I often
wonder why we. grazed them at
ail. We had to feed the cows dry
hay all summer anyway if we
wanted any milk. That kind of
pasture management is going out
of the picture now. What’s the
need of making hay, anyway, to
feed cows on pasture?
i A well - managed pasture in
Alaska, seeded to the right
grasses, will produce twice the
volume of forage that an average
crop of oats and peas will. The
first thing in getting proper pas
tures is in getting the right seed.

BAH ON ACQUIRING PUBLIC
LANDS REVOKED FOR
INTERIOR DEPT. EMPLOYEES
WASHINGTON — Secretary of
the Interior Chapman has revoked
a ban against acquiring of use of
public lands in Alaska by Interior
Department employees.
Chapman issued the blanket
regulation last May. It prohibited
all interior employees in the Unit
ed States and Alaska from claim
ing public lands, participating in
their earnings, or using of occupy
ing the property.
The ban still applies to two
groups of interior department em
ployees—those of the bureau of
land management and some per
sonnel of the geological survey.
The old method of putting every
thing, including the kitchen sink,
into a pasture mixture is out
moded now. One grass and a
legume will usually fill the bill.
Order a northern-grown strain
of smooth brome and some alsike
clover if you’re after a long-time
hay type pasture. Timoth^ and
alsike are fine for new ground or
for a short-term rotation. Forget
Kentucky bluegrass. Its produc
tion is poor and it is subject to j
mildew. Creeping red fescue
looks a lot better than bluegrass j
as a permanent, type pasture; I’ll
tell you a lot more about it in a
year or so after we make a field
size trial of this grass. It’s not
worth while to mix these various
grasses into one. seeding. Under
any type management you end
up with only one dominant grass
in the pasture anyway.

who can come are asked to attend

On Monday, November 20, a
miscellaneous sale is planned at
the Trading Post. A tempting ar
ray of home baked cakes, pies,
cookies and candy and jellies will
be offered. All donations of items
for the sale will be appreciated,
according to the announcement.
Other plans discussed at the
meeting including the forming of
an evening Ladies Aid group for
women who cannot attend meet
ings during the day. A special
invitation is extended to business
women, teachers and mothers
with young children to join the
evening group. Mrs. Ann Plitt is
in charge of it's organization.
A pot-luck luncheon was served
at noon at the Wednesday meet
ing. In the afternoon the Rev.

; Navy Discovers 2 More
Oil Fields at Barrow
! Two more oil fields in its vast |
j Pt. Barrow reserve at the top of i
the continent recently were dis- j
covered by the U. S. Navy.
Commander Millard Aubey, of
j ficer in charge of construction at
I Pt. Barrow, said that one field
i was in the northern part of the
35,000 square mile reserve on the
Arctic Coast and the other on the
southeastern border.
Production capacity has not i
been determined, the Commander I
said. The Navy has not made any !
major discovery of petroleum in 1
commercial quantity which would!
be economically feasible to pro
duce and transport from the re
mote areas in which they are
found h.e stressed.
Prelijninary surveys in the re
serve have indicated that produc
tion of -.100,000 barrels of crude;
oil a day would sustain the field
commercially. Formidable prob
lems presented by inaccessibility
of the oil fields have prevented
full-scale. development of what
some experts said held promise*
of being the largest untapped oil
field in the world. The recent
discoveries served to emphasize
that prediction.
