3. The best planting method is to use cither a 2=horse turnplow or a 
single=bottom tractor plow. Open a furrow about two fect from the edge of the 
strip — rows abot 3 to 3$ feet wide. The furrow should be slightly decper 
than the root systom of the scedlings, The secdiings are then placed against 
the straight side of the trench at 18.24 inch intervals, Then throw a furrow 
back on the plants, covering deep encugh so that when the soil sotiles it will 
still be several inches above the roots, If a tractor is used, the wheel can 
be run over tne finished row to vack it, Shallow planting will cause the plant 
to start top-growing too quick and cause heavy loss during the first dry spell, 
If horse= or tractor-dramm cquipment is not available, a trce=planting iron or 
"crow bar" or forestry treceplanting "DIBBLE® can bo used, 
4e During tho f ear, Bicolor shouid be cultivated enough to keep 
the wecds down. The best way is to cultivate cach time adjacent ficld is cul- 
tivated. In locations hard to got to, proper mulching will climinate necd for 
cultivation, 
5, Cutting plants back aftcr the first growing season will causo them to 
branch out and give hcavicr seed production, This should be done just before 
4 
growth starts in the spring. This operation may be done with heavy stalk cutter, 
mowing machine, or by hand with a brush hook, 
6, Mature strips are maintained in good condition by fertilizing with 
Ow12—12 and cutting back as in thc above operation, This is gencrally noccse 
sary about every third ycar, All othcr trees and shrubs should be kept out of 
the strip. 
7e Winter forcst fircs do not kill cstablished bicolor plants, 
8, Bicolor is very palatable to stock so it must be protected from 
grazing for satisfactory results,
