CONSERVATION
NOTES
Lew Hanks
I have never seen a year more
uncertain for hay making than
this one. Each day seems to give
a slight shower or at least threat
en one. What makes it worse is
each day our standing grass de
creases in protein content. The
protein content of grass can de
crease fifty percent during the
week or two that it takes grass to
head out completely. If you want
a high protein roughage, grass
must be fertilized heavy and cut
early. It should be cut before
July 1. I realize the middle of
July is a poor time to start
preaching about cutting hay the
first of July but there’s a second
crop coming. Figure on fertiliz-,
ing and getting it into the silo by
September 1. Late cutting is very
apt to damage the stand. Brome
has to have a chance to build up
some food reserve in the roots be
fore winter. If you cut or graze
too late, the poor old grass goes
into the winter hungry and just
naturally starved to death. It
doesn’t do much growing in thirty
below weather or under two feet
of snow but it still has to eat to
live. Sort, of keep that in mind
while you are managing your!
grass stands. You’ll have a lot!
better grass.

We had a demonstration in bak-j

After, we had our demonstra-j
tion we went swimming until five
o’clock and then went home.
Our next meeting will be held
two weeks from now. This coming
Thursday will be 4-H camp. We
hope to have a big turn out this
vear, bigger than all other years.

anothed short walk to the glacier.
Cost of the ride is two dollars per

Joe said. The cable-way is oper
ated seven days a week, from
dawn to dark.
Visitors may spend as long as
