Please direct any questions to
your local patrol troopers in
care of this paper.
QUESTIONS:
I. W]at is the shape, color and
aeaning of the yield sign?
2. What is the shape and color
of the danger signs?
3. a do the danger signs
tell you?
Answers can be found on the
"'ant Ad Page to highway pa-
txol questions.
ANSWERS:
1. The yieid sign is triangular
and yellow with black lettering,
It meets slow down and. or
stop if necessary so you can
yield the right of way to ve-
hicles on the roadway eing

2. Yellow diamond-shaped
signs with black lettering.
3. They warn you of a po-

counter while driving.
Cattlemen are facing some
important decisions on what
management practices to follow
in order to produce an abund-
ance of pasture and forage for
their livestock.
At a recent paure and for-
age management meeting held
in Payne County, several dif-
ferent pasture management pro-
grams were discussed which
cattlemen may want to follow
in order to maximize the pro-
duction from their pastures.
One program that many cat-
tlemen are using that can in-
crease carrying capacity by 30
per cent is to plant enough bar-
muda grass to approach 10 per
cent of their native grass aver-
age. To fertilize the bermuda
annually using vetch in the fall
or using additional nitrogen fer-
tilizer during the growing sea-
son to provide an abundance of
grass, then concentrate the
cattle on bermuda during May
and June relieving the pasture
on the native grass giving it a
chance to grow and provide late
summer and winter grazing.
Another program is to use su-
dan and, or sudan hybrids plant-
ed in April and early May to
provide good succulent grazing,
again, giving thenative grass a
eanee to get adequate growth
and develop deeper root sys-
tems ,for food storage.
The farmers or cattlemen who
h,ve primarily-bermuda pas-
lures have one or more choices two inches deep into the soil
to increase carrying capacity of
his pasture.
To use high fertilizer rates on
a part of your acreage will stim-
ulate an abundant groh for
heavy spring and early summer
grazing. Use moderate fertiliza-
tion on tlae balance to furnish
late smmner and winter grazing.
Another system Is to overseed
with vetch and small grains in
late October. This will provide
good late winter and early
spring grazing using a rotation
pasture system so that. the sur-
plus can grow to produce a hay
crop and then be grazed later,
and to have an area which was
grazed early in summer that you
can topdress with additional
nitrogen in late July or early
August to produce a good growth
or wintering.
For further information we
have available fact sheets on
bermuda systems of manage-
ment.
WOOD CONTROL
IMPORTANT IN ESTABLISH-

Weed competition is a major
problem you')l face as yo u s'tab-

this spring. Ayailable herbicides
will give thicop a chance to-
grow and esblish a good root
system,
Eptam controls almost all the
before you plant the alfalfa.
You may use Balan to estab-
lish an alfalfa seed crop. This
new herbicide has shown excel-
lent results in research trials.
Two herbicides approved for
use in bermudagrass are Sim-
azine and 2,4-D. Both have been
approvect by the Agricultural
Stabilization Conservation Ser-
vice for cost-sharing practices in
Oklahoma in 1967.
Ue Simazine at the time of
sprigging to control annual weeds
and grasses. Land should 'be free
of weeds when you use this her-
bicide. It will control ggrminat-
ing weeds as they eerge in
the stand during the season.
Keep Simazine In suspension
during application. And properly
calibrate the equipment for pro-
per and even application.
The other herbicide for ber-
mudagrass is 2,4-D. It is a pod-t-
emergence spray you can use
£rom sprigging time on: It kills
weeds by moving from the lea-
ves through the plant. It will
corot,'el most broadleaf weeds.
