about 60 head of cattle grazed this
pasture down, thus causing the grass
to spread. In the summer a cutting
of hay was made and stacked loose
without weighing. Cattle were grazed
during the summer again and re-
moved later to allow a hay crop to
develop. In early October one and a
half tons per acre of bright hay were
cured. “I was well repaid for plant-
ing this crop for grazing,” Jennings
said, “and in addition I secured two
hay crops.” This ranch hasi several
fields of Rhodes grass and will have
more next spring.
