merit last Thursday. This was the
second annual Range Canservation
Field Day held in the Meridian
Work Unit area of the Bosque Soil
Conservation District.
R. C. Madeley, District Conser-
vationist of the Soil Conservation
Service, pointed out to the group
that the vegetation on most ranges
today is completely different from
that of fifty to a hundred years ago. I js ;n jn a hospital there.
At that time the principal vege-
tation was composed almost com-
pletely of choice grasses such as big
bluestem, indian. little bluestem,
sideoats and hairy grama. Now
the majority of the ranches, under
continous overuse, have needle-
grass, weeds, and woody plants such
as cerah, mesquite and brush. A-
nother point brought out was that
the choice bunch grasses produce
over three times more forage per
acre than do the sod grasses such
as buffalo. This information was
based on clipping tests made on
Balks Ranch thi.- year—the exact
liguies were: bunch glasses. 4.840
pounds or air dry forage per acre;
buffalo grass: 1,5121., pounds of
air dry forage per acre.
Stops were made on the tour to
see (1 i a pasture deferred since
June 15th; (2) a pasture in excell-
ent condition but overgrazed this
year; (3) an area from which brush
had been cleared, then burned,
showing the loss of the topsoil; (4)
a plot that was seeded to bunch
grasses last fall by the hay-seed
method; (5) a pasture in excellent
condition used for wintering cattle; 1
and (6) an area of bunch grasses
being grazed by cattle now showing
the seed healing by them.
Dr. Verne Scott, Veterinarian ;
from Stephenville, explained the I
mineral deficiencies of these soils 1
and their effects on the bones w’hen 1
injuries occur. He stated that !
