Columbus Grass
Suggested
For Pastures
Texas farmers in their search
for the best permanent warm
season pastures should consider
thp Ossruit strain of Columbus
grass for planting in April and
May.
Columbus will give them the
quickest, the most economical
and the most productive pasture
they can find. Dr. C. L. Lundell,
Director of Texas Research
Foundation at Renner, has ad-
vised.
The grass will be ready to
graze from six to eight weeks
alter planting — moisture and
fertility considered,” he said.
“Columbus is a dependable
producer of forage. It thrives
remarkably well under drougth j
conditions. It has a high pro-!
tein content, and cattle relish
it.”
Texas Research Foundation
introduced the grass from i
South Africa in 1954 and has
had it under continuous inves- |
tigation and grazing tests since
then. The grass is one of the
perennial grass sorghums, and
though it is a perennial it re-
acts like an annual in its first
year growth habits. I
The grass ;s widely adapted
over m.oh of Texas from
Northwest through North Gen-
ual ami Central Texas into
Northeast and East Texas.
The Foundation recommends
the Ossruit strain of Columbus
grass for inclusion in the Ren-
ner pasture system to provide
warm season grazing. In tests at
Renner, steers have made an
average daily gain of more than 1
2 pounds a head on Columbus
during the past six years.
In the Renner tests, the grass
made an average annual yield of
249 pounds ol beef to the acre
during 121 days of grazing from |
Ji ne torou i October. The
grazing ratio 'as been approxi
matf ly thi teers to th acre,
with each pasture grazed three
times during the summer sea-
son. |
Though C olumbus resembles
i Johnson grass, it is much more
1 productive and vigorous than
Johnson when it is planted in
rows, cultivated, and fertilized
with adequate amounts of nitro-
■i and phosphorus. Under
good grazing management, row
plantings will maintain a stand
indefinitely.
Research on the grass at Ren-
ner indicates that tiie best
planting period is from the mid-
dle of April through early May.
The seedbed should be well pre-
pared, and the planting should
be in rows from 36 to 40 inches
apart, and made at a rate of
5 to 0 pounds of seed to the acre.
Row plantings should oe cul-
tivated each iall and should be
fertilized with the annual equi-
valent of 60 pounds each of
nitrogen and phosphorus.
Cattle should be withheld
from the grass until it reaches u
height of 2 to 3 feet. After each
grazing period, the stand should
be clipped to a stubble height of
12 to 18 inches.
When the stand is to be main-
tained permanently in the Ren-
ner pasture system, the grass
should be allowed to make a
short seed crop before it is used
for fall grazing.
“Columbus has excellent seed-
ling vigor and will grow and de-
velop under conditions of ser-
ious drought,” Dr, Lundell con-
tinued.
“During dry cycles such as the
current one, this hardy nature
of Columbus makes it doubly
valuable as a warm season per-
rennial in the Renner pasture
system. And any increase in
moisture will sharply increase
production.”
He suggested that the three
warm season grasses in the pas-
ture system Include Columbus,
Coastal Bermuda and Ermelo
lovegrass.
Since the Foundation released
the grass in 1961, it has gained
rapidly in favor in a number of
areas, particularly in Navarro
and Limestone counties.
Walter N. Dycus, who lives 8
miles west of Corsicana in Na-
varro County, credits Columbus
grass with keeping him in busi-
ness during 1962. In converting
his farm from row crops to live-
stock, Mr. Dycus planted 100
acres of the grass — 50 upland
and 50 lowland.
He ran 70 cows and 52 calves
for 19 days in the spring on 8
upland acres of the newly plant-
ed grass. The Columbus grew so
fast that the cattle never grazed
it down, he said. The remainder
of the 50 upland acres was soon
ready for the cattle. Still later
in the summer the 50 lowland
acres were ready for grazing.
“We got only 6.3 inches of
rainfall the entire growing sea-
son.” Mr. Dycus said. “The Co-
lumbus grass kept us in business,
no doubt about it!"
In 1963, Ellice Lightsey of
Point Enterprise made his first
plantings of Columbus grass on
the sandy soils of Limestone
County. Following seeding on JCIWANIS
April 15, the grass reached graz- ' 1
ing stage by June 2 — a period
of six weeks. Despite extreme
drought, Lightsey grazed 48
cows and calves on only 11 acres
of Columbus until early Sep-
tember.
Columbus also is catching the
eye of increasing numbers of
ranchers in the Cross Timbers
and western range areas where
clearing and reseeding of range-
land is a growing practice. Co-
lumbus and native grasses are
being seeded broadcast imme-
diately behind a root plow. The
Columbus grass provides first-
year grazing for livestock while
the slower native grasses are
becoming established.

Government Pays Cost
The earthen structures are
paid for by the Federal govern-
ment, but they pay for the con-
struction costs only. The water
improvement districts pay for all
other costs, such as legal fees,
etc Each farmer benefited pays
a small “Benefit Tax” based on
the amount of his land affected.
This tax is approximately 50c
per acre.
