Good Emergency
Summer Pasture
Did a seeding failure last year
leave you short of pasture for this
year? Sudangrass is good emer
gency pasture, for it makes faster
growth and more high quality
feed than any other emergency
forage crop, County Agent Max
M. Smith says.
Seed Sudangrass when the soil
and weather are warm, generally
not much before June 1. It
should be about 18 inches tall in
six weeks after sowing and ready
for grazing. It should not be pas
tured if stunted by drought or
frosted.
Smith recommends the Piper
variety, which has a lower prus
sic acid content than other varie
ties. Even though the Piper varie
ty is low in prussic acid do not
graze until'it is 18 inches high. ,
Recomm«nded seeding rate is
30 pounds per acre. A general
fertilizer recommendation is to
drill deeply 300 lbs. of 10-10-10
or equivalent per acre. -At time
Of planting drill 200. lbs. of 5-10-
10 or equivalent per acre. A soil
better determine fertiliz
er needs.

‘Better Lawns,’ USDA Bulletin
Tells How to Seed, Fertilize Grass
In time for spring lawn care in
most areas, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture has released a new
publication, “Better Lawns.” This
bulletin discusses how to estab
lish and maintain a good lawn,
how to renovate a poor one, and
how to deal with such lawn prob
lems as weeds, diseases, and in
sects.
It includes a chart showing the
recommended rates and times of
seeding or vegetative planting of
various species of grasses. An
other chart tells at a glance how
much of each type of fertilizer
should be used for establishing
and maintain good lawn.
Shady lawn areas present a
problem to many home-owners.
“Better Lawns” tells what grass
varieties are shade-tolerant and
explains special care practic's
that will help them grow vigor
ously under trees. It discusses
ground cover plants, which often
will grow where grass won’t, as
well as almost 30 varieties of com
mon lawn grasses.
Single copies of “Better Lawns”
(HG 51) are free on request from
the Office of Information, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Wash
