 E.R. Jackr.an, Oregon State College Agr. Exp. Sta. Circ. 

 No. 159. January 1944. 



Tins circular discusses reseeding both by drilling and by 

 broadcasting, showing advantages and disadvantages as well as 

 the "where, how, and when" of each method for denuded summer 

 ranges of eastern Oregon. It also gives a good deal of space 

 to seeding accidentally burned timberlands, especially 

 "lodgepole jungles" and logged-over areas to forage species. 

 This paper should be of special value and interest in western 

 Montana .

(14) Palatability for Sheep and Yield of Hay and Pasture Grasses 

 at Union, Oregon 



by D. E. Richards, Oregon State College Agr. Exp. Sta., and 

 Virgil B. Kawke, Soil Conservation Service. Oregon State 

 College Agr. Exp. Sta. Bull. No. 431. October 1945. 

 Comparisons are made of yield and palatability for hay and 

 pasture of 29 forage species, many of which are important for 

 reseeding Montana ranges. Species are grouped on the basis of 

 best season of use into spring, summer, and fall grasses and 

 on the basis of whether they are best adapted for grazing or 

 for hay. Conclusions are based on controlled tests with sheep 

 at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Branch Sta. at Union, Oregon.
