Native Grasses For Terrace Ouileis. 
TEX. 1368 
Native grasses may be established easily under normal conditions in the low- 
rainfall areas. 
First step in planting native grasses for meadow drainageways or pasture is to 
place a temporary cover on the land, that will not compete with seedling grasses for 
light and moisture. Sudan grass and grain sorghums may be used for this purpose. 
After preparing the land in the usual way for these crops, drill or broadcast sudan 
or sorghum. Mow the crop just before seed are matured. Unless the growth is 
heavy, leave the hay where it falls. Next spring, the native grass seed may be 
drilled into this stubble as shown in the illustration. 
During the first and second years after the seeding, weeds should be controlled by 
mowing.
