The part we leave for the
plant becomes stubble, or litter,
or midue. This stubble acts
at an air conditioning unit
for the plant. Tt protects the
crown of the plant—the tender,
proving portion—from cold
temperatures during the winter
=nd from hot temperatures dur-
ing the summer. It makes a
better place for the plant tr

initely isn't wasted. It is our
investment in grass crops In
years to follow.
If wa examine overgrazed
plants, we find that there is
a small root system to go along
with tae small top of the plant.
Also, there is a large root sys-
tem and a large top on correct-
ly grazed plants. The impor-
tance of a big, healthy root
system is obvious. The exten-
sive rents can jGSt naturally
reach more soil moisture and
more soil element:- to Irani port

t..r« into food. During dry

do wed to stay alive during a
drought, let alone make any

in comparing overgrazed plants
to correctly grazed plants is
that the usuabks forage is sev-
eral times higher on correctly
grazed pastures
In summary, the key to
-grass management" 13 to learn
more about aur plants. The
objective of goad grass manage-
ment is to produce an ever
inrneesuig amount of high qual-
ity ftrags on each acre of pax
xre and, at the same time, to
harvest, by grazing, a maximum
amount of feed each year.

Registrations of purebred

I totalled 22,191 animals, a 99%
‘ increase above year earlier fig-
ures. Transfers of cattle also
rose 39% as more and m
new breeders enter the produc-
tion picture. Membership in-
creased to 7,372 members, a
38% increase over new mem-
ber* the previous year.
Activities by junior breeders
also showed a sharp increase
during 1968, with 380 new
members, 10% more than the
number of new junior breeders
added to the roster a year earl
ler.
There are now approximately
82,091 purebred and 231,094
recorded animals in the As-
