By C. H. FARNHAM (University of Iilinois Cellege of Agri- re.) Thinning hair is pretty hard stop, but thinning pastures can be rejuvenated. Since the secdbed largely deter- mines the success of a pasture, the | turf of old pastures should be sum- mer-plowed and worked down sev- eral times before reseeding in late August or early September. In some cases thorough disking will help if existing grasses and weeds won't compete too much with the new seedings. Because continued pasturing or cropping reduces the content of calcium, phosphorus and other plant food materials, most old pastures need limestone and fertilizer. Need of limestone, which can be deter- mined by an acidity test, usually shows up first. Limestone should be applied several months ahead of legume seedings so it will have time to sweeten the soil before séeding time. If the land is to be plowed, it is best to apply the limestone after plowing so it will sweeten the upper portion of the root system as well as the deeper soil areas. Lime- stone does not move up in the soil but the solution goes downward. Lightly working manure into the soil Before seeding pasture mixtures also gives them a boost in establish- ing root and top growth. On steep slopes, it is best to do all the plowing and disking on the level contour. He recommends that any sod draws that have developed should be left undisturbed to form grass waterways. Pasture improvement, contour farming, seeding of legumes and applications of limestone constitute four of the five practices being stressed in 1940 to achieve more con- servation of soil, water and human resources. The other practice is tree planting. Good Pasture for Hogs Will Reduce Pork Costs Good pasture for hogs is one way .of really cutting pork production dts, suggests A. L. Anderson, ani- mal husbandry specialist at Iowa State college. Anderson points to the results of 18 swine feeding demonstrations conducted on Iowa farms by Iowa State college in which pasture was used. Eight of these pastures were poor to fair in quality, largely of bluegrass. Ten of the pastures were good, consisting of alfalfa, red clo- ver, and rape. The same rations were used on all pastures. The pigs on poor pas- tures fed corn and minerals made an average gain of .76 pound, while on good pastures the daily gain was 1.36 pounds, or two-thirds more. Good pasture is one of the best sources of easily digested protein. Rich in lime and phosphorus, the legumes provide minerals which are easily assimilated by young pigs. Current Fencing Methods Follow Farming Changes Contour farming, high-speed high- ways and rotation grazing bring new + problems in fence-building which are discussed and solved in a recent publication written by engineers of the U. S. department of agriculture. A “ben fence” that won't “hbend’’ 0) when wires are stretched tightly, is needed where hills are farmed on the contour. Straight fences waste land under such conditions. Safe entrances on high-speed high- ways require proper choice of loca- tion and special construction, the bulletin points out. Gates set back from the fence line avoid sharp turns with farm machinery, and en- trances on level ground give a clear view up and down the road. Agricultural News Cows will drink as many as 25 times a day. * * » Horses will stand the heat better if they have free access to com- mon salt. * * * Sovbean oil meal made by the expeller process contains 4 to 5.5 per cent of oil, meal made by the solvent process had about 1 per cent of oil, and meal made by the hy- draulic process retains from 5.5 to 6 per cent of oil. * * * Steers fed on ground ear corn tend to bloat less on legume pasture than animals getting shelled corn. ® * * When making large piles of hay bales, scatter some loose hay or straw over each layer or row, to bind them together to prevent slip- page or overturning. { * » Green ah seeds may be prepared for germihation in the spring by storing m over winter in a box of moisfBand which is kept in a ront cel or other cool place.

American Farmer Someone recently defined democracy as being “liberty and groceries”—and the more you think about it the truer it becomes. Thus is the farmer, the producer of our food, one of the greatest bulwarks of our great democracy. Working hand in hand with him are banks ail over the land, helping him to produce and market his products so that we might go on living in a free and prosperous country. First National & TRUST CO.
