choice of plants and rates of seeding.
A. McLean, Assistant Superintendent
and Agrostologist at theDominion
Range Experimental Station, Kan:-
loops, offers the following recommend-
ations.

Pasture plants are adapted to a
wide of growing conditions
and can be’ grown successfully on soils
and locations unsuited to most other
crops. Pastures can be made to fit
into any planned crop rotation. Good
pasture, consequently has a place on
every farm.

The most important feature in de-
termining the carrying capacity of
an irrigated pasture, apart form cli-
mate, water and soil, are the plant
species it contains and the kind of
management it receives. Poor man-
agement practices and improper seed
bed preparation can not be overcome
by heavier seeding rates.

Each plant species to be used in
establishing an irrigated pasture
should be selected for its suitability

seasonal rate of production. Complex
seeding mixtures are generally un-
necessary. Two or three grasses along
with one or two legumes should be
sufficient. Grass species which have
different seasons of maximum growth
should be included in a mixture so
that a relatively uniform yield can
be obtained over an extended growing
season, Where water is available only
during part of the growing season or
when irzation must be widely spaced
no species should be used that cannot
esist drought.

Both grasses and legumes differ in
their adaptation to such conditions
4s poorly drained and alkaline soiis
and only species of known tolerance
should be used under such conditions.

High quality seed only should be
used as it is more economical in the
jong run. Inferior grades of seed, al-
though cheaper to buy, have lower
1ates of germination and a greater

percentage of weed seeds which means
higher seeding rates and extra work,
‘> addition to poorer results in the
field.

4s seeding rate of from 16 to 20
pounds per acre is ample for most
mixtures of high quality seed. Broad-
casting rates should be slightly high-
er than drilling rates.

Typical seed mixtures recomended
for the South Cariboo region are giv-
en below. Since couditons afte
the desirability of a given mi:
varies within the district and wit the
use to which the pasture is to be put,
it is always advisable to consult your
District Agriculturist regerding the
choice of a mixture.

injury also occurs in transplants or
where sets are used. Growers are ad-
vised to take the necesSary prevau-
tions if living in a district where out-
breaks of this insect are of frequent
occurrence,

The most satisfactory control meth-
ods are with Calomel or 53% Wettable
DDT applied to the seed before plant-
ing.

In using Calomel or DDT sced
treatments, the seed first is placed in
a cheese-cloth bag and immersed in
water for a few seconds, or until
thoroughly moistened. The bag is
then removed and whirled around in
the air to ensure that the excess mois-
ture is driven off. Next, the seed is
mixed in a glass, earthenware or
wooden (not metal) container vessel
with an equal weight of Calomel or
50% DDT. Mix thoroughly until all the
poison adheres to the damp seed.
Plant immediately or the poison will
fall off the dried seed.

As the poison-coated seed is en-
larged, it is a wise precaution to open
up the drill slightly.

A different treatment is needed for
enions grown from sets or transplants.
Here growers are advised to apply a
4% Calomel dust or 5% Chlordane
dust to the soil. These can be purchas.
ed ready for use. In making the appli-
cation, the dust should touch th
young plants and extend for a a
tance of two inches on each side of
the row. The first application should
be made when the onions are in tne
“loop” stage. Three applications in all
are recommended, these being applied
at 10 day intervals.

The 5% Chlordane dust is a recom-
mendation from C. “L. Neilson, Pro-
vincial Entomologist, Vernon, and is
based on information he received last
winter at Portland, Oregon.

The Dominion Fiefd Crop Insect
Laboratory, Kamloops in charge of
Dr. R. H. Hanford, is carrying out
research work on this pest, and the
above recommendations are the result
of this research. For further infor-
mation please write to the District
Agriculturist.
