Photograph of growth that has been made on blue panic grass planted on May 1, 1953, where the grass was irrigated. The ground was irrigated once before planting and once after planting. Shortly after this picture was made, Ellis turned 43 head of grown cattle into this 8 acre planting of panic grass and left them for one month. They were then rotated to sudan grass. The blue panic grass was about knee-high at the end of this grazing period and either be grazed again or saved for a seed crop or both before frost.
