CONSERVATION PRACTICE—A stand of Midland
bermuda grass spriggend May 20 last year is shown
as part of conservation practice in a Texas panhan-
dle county. The grass was planted in 50 foot rows
and irrigated every 10 to 14 days and provided ex-
cellent weed control, according to soil conservation
specalists.

Pasture grasses are rapid-
ly becoming of major import-:
ance iii both the High Plains
and Rolling Plains. :
Midland Bermuda grass,
which has proven its adaptir
bility over the past few years,
along with indiangrass and
Switchgrass, i which have
long ago; proven their adapt-
ability, are the principal
grasses being established. ;
High-producing pastures do j
not “ju?t happen”. They are
planned and managed. ;There
are' no: “short-cuts” in es-
tablishing high-producing
pastures. There are some ten
“must” to consider in estab-
lishing high-yielding, improv-
ed pastures:
1. The soil must be highly

The S to re W i t h a Go ns cienc e
productive. A shallow, erod-
ed soil can store only limit-
ed moisture and fertility, jtf
the soil produces low yields
from cultivated crops, it: like-
wise may be expected to :pra-l
dupe relatively low yields of
grass. ;
2. You .must select adapted
species of grasses. There are
many grasses adapted to the
Texas Panhandle.' However,:
many of these do not respond
favorably to fertilization and
or irrigation. ;
3. you.must have a proper :
seedbed. ; Many failures to
get grass established can be
traced to: improper seedbed
preparation. ; if the seedbed
is considered adequate for
the planting of grain sorghum,
then it is adequate for grass
planting. ;
4. ' You. must have good
planting material. High-qusli-
ty seeds may cost more in
the beginning, /but in the
long run, 'they have proven
less expensive/; There is
little loss in livability
of Bermuda grass sprigs when
they are planted immediately
after digging. ] If the sprigs
are to: be transported any
distance, dampen and cover
and tet them in the ground
as soon as possible, j
5. [Material must be plant-
ed at the proper time.' Failur-
es to: obtain stands after
July 1st are quite common
since the grass has insuffici-
ent time to establish an ade-
quate root : system and, in
many instances, winter-kills.
6. ;Must control weeds.
Any plant that competes with
improved pastured grass is a
weed./Effective methods of
control may be herbicidal
sprays, cultivation, of even
controlled grazing, depend-
ing upon the species of weed
competition. ;
7. [Must gertillze properly.
Vigorous growing grasses
such as Midland Bermuda
grass, 'Switchgrass, and lh-
diangrass respond to fertiliz-
ers in many ways. The water
requirement per ton of forage
produced will be reduped
about one-third oh well-
fertilizsd pastures as com-
pared to Ton-fertilized. [The
tonnage will be much higher
and the feed value will be
almost doubled. ;
8. [Must allow plants to
establish before grazing.
Since grass plants receive
approximately 95 percent of
the elements for growth tak-
en from the air/through the
leaves and the elements are
transported to : the roots as
“stored food/' it is all im-
portant that the grass be al-
lowed to keep its leaves un-
til: established in order to
carry oh the manufacturing
process. ;
9. [Must i follow a timely
and proper : irrigation plan
that will provide about ohe-
fchird irich of water each day. ;
10.: [Must .properly use1 the
grass after it is established,
Research and experience havej
shown that Midland Bermuda
grass should be grazed no j
closer than five inches, and j
tall grasses such as Indian- J
grass and Switchgrass no j
closer than 12 inches during
the growirig season. ; Since
over :89 percent of the total
feed value of a grass is
above the proper-use height,
one only rishs the disappoint-
ment iri reduced yihld if: it is
not properly used. ] .

VOTE SATURDAY FOR
ALLEN HARP
For District Judge 100th Judicial District
Neither my opponent nor I were ever defeated for County Attor-
ney — neither of us had an opponent.
In order to be licensed to practice law in Texas every person
must pass the State Bar Examination, without regard to law
schools attended. I passed this examination and was duly licens-
ed in April, 1947. Since that time I have served as District Attor-
ney, County Attorney and City Attorney and have been actively
engaged in the practice of law.
I served as official Court Reporter for this District Court from
August, 1941, to September, 1947, with leave of absence for mil-
tary service. Previously, I served as State Representative.
In conducting my campaign I have sought to exemplify the same
qualities of honor and integrity essential to the proper perform-
ance of the duties of a District Judge and in accord with the high-
est tradition of the jurist.
Your vote and support is solicited on the basis of my own aual-
ifications, and on this basis alone.
I have managed my own campaign and spent my own money in
the race. If elected, I will be in a position to perform the duties
of the office impartially and in all good conscience toward God
and man.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLEN HARP
