sorghum. Most of the arm is devoted to winter whcnt which is nltcr-
hated with summer fallow to allow moisture nccumulntion. Normally,
precipitation is too low to make beneficial use of fertilizers.

Good cultural practices such ns stubble mu lcli fat~ning, strip cropping
' and minimum tillage are needed to combat wind and water erosion.'
' Terracing may also be needed to control water erosion.
The potential native vegetation on this soil is dominated by blue grama.
' Several mid grasses such as western wheatgrass and needle and thread are
also present. Potential production ranges from 1G00 pounds per acre in
' favorable years to 1000 pounds per acre in unfavorable years. 1+'lien range
condition deteriorates, the midgrasses decrease, blue grama, buffalo grass,
' snakeweed, yucca and fringed sage increase and production drops. Undesir-

able weeds and annuals invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.

Management of vegetation on this soil shou]d be based on taking half
'
and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding is advisable if
' range is in poor condition. Sideoats grama, little bluestem, western
wlieatgrass, blue grama, pubescent wheatgrass and crested w•l~eatgra<s are
' suitable for seeding. The grass selected should meet the seasonal
' requirements of livestock. For successful seeding, a clean, firm, sorg-
hum stubble -- prepared the growing season prior to seeding -- or a
' firm, prepared seedbed and grass drill should be used. Early spring
seeding has proven most successful.. ~ •
