strangest growth of grasses. A similar approach is possible here, <br />• <br />although the species will be different and there will not be any clay or <br />silt layer at about the level of the water table <br />The approach planned calls for using sweetclover as the deep-rooted <br />species and nitrogen fixer (alfalfa would be preferred but it is not <br />believed the environment here would support that species). Mixed with <br />the clover will be various species of grasses that are well adapted to <br />sandy sail conditions. Soil distribution will 6e prioritized so as to <br />place the soil on the most needed areas, primarily south and west facing <br />slopes where drought will be most prevalent as well as mast prohlematic. <br />Mulch may also 6e needed depending upon the conditions at the time (see <br />explanation later in this exhibit). <br />The seed mixture to 6e used will be as follows. This mixture, we <br />• <br />• <br />believe, fulfills the requirements discussed above. It contains clover <br />(deep-rooted) and several grasses that are hoth adapted to this <br />geographical area as well as sandy soils. The seeding rates are based on <br />a minimum of 80 live seeds per square foot as indicated in S. C. 5. <br />Colorado Agronomy Nate No. 61 issued March t6, 1961 and entitled <br />"SEEDING FATES". The planting of this mir,ture would occur early in the <br />year, preferably between January 15 and March 1, but it could be planted <br />as late as April 1 if special measures are taken to provide far a <br />somewhat more droughty and less favorable environment. <br />SPECIES <br />Sand Dropseed <br />Prarie Sandreed <br />Sand Bluestem <br />Sand Lovegrass <br />Yellow Sweetclover <br />5EEUING RATE (M FLS/ac) <br />0.25 <br />5.00 <br />6.00 <br />0.25 <br />1_00 <br />12.50 <br />F'AGE 7 OF 8 - EXHIBIT E <br />
