Agronomist O K Barnes reports an eight year study at Archer Station comparing seeded pastures with native range. Crested wheatgrass Lewis varieties, Russian wildrye and western wheatgrass outperformed native rangeland with lamb gains up to 67 pounds per acre yearly. Mixed pastures offered mixed results and long term declines in productivity observed after year three.

In the Grassland Day program at Sidney the Crested Wheat Grass is cited as the most successful dryland forage in the Great Plains. It is a hardy drought resistant perennial with extensive roots, good for soil binding and erosion control, best seeded Sept 1 to Oct 15 with clean seedbeds and weed control.
Soil conservation notes urge using nurse crops to seed beds and recommend heavy soil seed depths of half to one inch, sandy soils one to two and a half inches. Germination and purity determine seeding rates, typically 5 to 10 pounds per acre for sturdy stands with 173 000 to 225 000 seeds per pound. Crested Wheat Grass spreads by seed, tillers in clumps but does not form a true sod, yields 200 to 500 bushels per acre in favorable years when planted in cows. Harvest timing should be when most heads turn brown or seed is firm dough, not brittle, to minimize shattering. grain binders or combines may be used with care. Seed weighs 24–26 pounds per bushel after cleaning. many acres in Western Nebraska have shown good results for reestablishing abandoned land and worn-out pastures.
Hundreds use the IDEAL income tax record system praised as the easiest and most satisfactory for 1950 records. The Telegraph advertises stock of complete record books and offers to order specific types if not in stock.
The agriculture department proposed a new wheat allotment formula based on average plantings over ten years with a 1 percent reserve to mitigate drastic county reductions. The plan would reduce the 1951 national allotment from 68,944,000 acres to about 69,944,000 acres and shift base periods to five years for 1952 and later crops, with Colorado highlighted for gains under the change.
A 1949 mortality estimate cites about 6,000 home deaths from burns scalds and explosions with most incidents in winter months. The warning urges caution as the season brings higher danger from fires and old man winter.
