UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL~RE <br /> <br />SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE <br />Mr. Osborne, for Blue Jet Mining Company <br />Seeding in late fall and around October 10-15 is recommended so that geneination <br />will occur the following spring. The seeding rates given here ere rates for <br />drilling snd if the broadcast method Se used the seeding rates should be <br />doubled. <br />6. In this particular area I would suggest mulching when tlearea has been <br />planted. Several good commercial mulches are available and work very well. <br />If a straw mulch Se used it should be crimped into the ground and put on <br />at a rate of 3,000 pounds per acre. <br />Variety Mixture Pounds PLS/Acre <br />Intermediate wheatgraee Amur 33% 3 <br />Russian wildrve Vinall 33% 6 <br />Western wheatgraes Barton 337. 5 <br />• Total 12 *PLS/Acre <br />7. The seeding should be protected from livestock, vehicles, etc, until <br />the plants are well established. <br />1/ Topsoil Se defined for this purpose as material suitable for growing <br />plants in. It includes the rather thin layer found on top of the earth <br />that is highest in organic matter and normally referred to as topsoil <br />plus the upper portion of the soil underneath this layer referred to e• subsoil. <br />If we can be of further aeeietance to you, please feel free to call on us. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~~~ <br />Greg Baehor <br />Soil Conservation Technician <br />• o <br />
