3. The best planting method is to use cither a 2-horse turnplow or a 
single=jbottom tractor plow. Open a furrow about two feou from tho edge of the 
strip -- rows about 3 to 3+ feet wide. The furrow should bo slightly deeper 
then the root systom of the scedlings. The secdiiags are then piaced against 
the straight side of the trench at l&=e24 inch intervais, Then throw a furrow 
back on the plants, covering deep cnough so that wacn the soil scttles it will 
still be several inches above the roots, If a tractor is used, the wheel can 
be run over the finished row to pack it. Shallow planting plas causc the plant 
to start top-growing too quick and cause heavy loss during the first dry spell, 
If horsce or tractor-dravm cquipment is not available, a tree-planting iron or 
"crow bar" or forestry treceplanting "DIBBLE" can be used, 
4. During the first ycar, Bicolor should be cultivated cnough to keep 
the weeds dowm. The best tray is to cultivate cach time adjacent ficld is cul- 
tivated. In locations hard to gct to, proper mulching will climinate need for 
cultivation, 
5. Cutting plants back aftcr the first groving scason twill causc them to 
branch out and give hcavicr seed production, This should be done just before 
growth starts in the spring. This operation may be done with hcavy stalk cutter, 
mowing machine, or by hand with a brush hook, 
6, Mature strips arc maintained in good condition by fertilizing with 
Qm12—@12 and cutting back as in the above operation, This is gencrally neccse 
sary about every third year, All othcr trees and shrubs should be kept out of 
the strip. 
7. Winter forcst fires do not kill cstablishced bicolor plants, 
8. Bicolor is vcry palatable to stock so it must be protecctcd from 
grazing for satisfactory results,
