PASTURES AIDED
BY PROPER CARE
Turf Should Be Worked
Before Re-Seeding.
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.
