Drought Cuts Hay Yield 1/3 Says SCD News RUSK Dog Show Set For Texarkana B & PW Holds
It is very dry in the Cher-
okee County Soil and Water
Conservation District at the
present time, however hay
is being harvested. Most mea-
dows are producing approx-
imately one third of their
normal yield. Many landown-
ers are planning to fertili-
ze if it rains, some are fer-
tilizing soon after cutting and
hoping for a rain. A light
rain will make the fertilizer
available for forage growth
if it is on the land when
the rain comes. Whereas by
waiting until after it rains
before applying fertilizer
will require the second rain
t'> Ret the benefit of the fer-
tilizer.
During stress periods like
we have had for the past two
months a liberal application
of fertilizer on bottomland
pastures could give many cat-
tlemen some relief from short
parched grass on upland pas-
tures.
Carl Creene of Rusk has
just completed cutting his
meadow and plans to apply
200 pounds of ammonium ni-
trate and 100 pounds of mur
iate of potash. He thinks the
extra potash will help the
coastal bermudagrass stand
to increase and produce more
good quality hay on the next
cutting.
