<br />J7-B z <br />borders, furrows, and ;;pr1n~:]ers, Sprlnk]cr irrigation Ss well :;uitcd <br />to most crops and pasture. The furrow mett+od is ;suited for r~ox crops. <br />3ordera with proper lengths of run are suitable for alfalfa, small <br />grains, and pasture, Land leveling is eenera]ly necessary for border <br />and furrow irrigation to prevent water loss and seepage, and ;zit bu11d- <br />up in the soil. <br />The potential native vegetation on this Graypoint soil is do^~Snatc•d by <br />Indian ricegrass, western whcatgrass, needle-and-thread, blue rr;;r.a, <br />winterfat and four-ring saltbush. +hen the range deteriorates, the <br />proportion of Irdian ricegrass, needle-and-thread and western ,+F~caterass <br />decrcasest and the amount of blue grams, squii-reltail, t}u•cc-a~:n, sc~F:c- <br />weed and rabbltbrush increases. C.^.desirable reeds invade ^~d lr•c.ne <br />more abundant as range condition becomes roorer, <br />Seeding Ss generally not advisable because of the lox rainfall. Ar.y <br />seeding attempted should be limited to the more favorable areas, Adli,ted <br />species include Nordan crested wheatgrass, Siberian xheatgrass, pulr_cant <br />wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wlldrye. Seeding work <br />should be done on the contour to minimize soil loss before the ~rtzss <br />plants become established, Seeding in con,junctlon with pitting is also <br />advisable. Iate summer seedinga have proven most successful. L~efrn•rd <br />grazing, croea fencing, and stock-rater developments wil] help to prevent <br />range deterioration and promote the groxth of more desirable nlants. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />
