HOW TO ESTABLISH A CARPET CRASS PASTURE Clemson College, Sept. 28.?Carpet j>et grass is rapidly becoming recog. nixed as our most important pasture A grass for the lighter soils of the ^ Coastal Plain section of this State. It is now recognized that it should form the basis of any permanent pasture I for that section of the State. Carpet grass may be planted any time from early spring till past mid-summer. It | may be seeded ou cleared land which has been in cultivation, or on cut-j over land without clearing. Directions for starting this grass are given below hv i>rrvf p. p Rinrkw#>lL Agronomist. "fy A. In order to secure a good stand immediately on cleared land, first work the land into a good firm clean bed. Deep plowing is not necessary. Sow the seed at the rate of ten pounds per acre and harrow in lightly, when the ground is moist. As soon as the grass is high enough, it should be grazed closely, since close grazing and much trampling will help Carpet Grass and will kill weeds. About five pounds of Lespedeza should always be seeded with Carpet Grass, unless it is already grown on the land. Carpet Grass may be started also by Just scattering the hay over the land, but this method is slow. When f' once started it will soon crowd out other grass and take possession of the pasture if closely grazed. It never becomes a weed, however, and can be easily destroyed. B. Carpet Grass may be started ' on cut-over land, and will form a good pasture in a short time, if the native wire-grass and broom-sedge are burned off and the pasture is grazed closely. Mr. C. V. Piper, who has made a close study of Carpet Grass gives the following plan for converting wire-grass and broomsedge lands to Carpet Grass pasture. (1.) All brush should be cut and all trees not valuable for timber deadened by girdling. (2.) Burn over the area as cleanly as possible when conditions are not necessary end apaprentlv not desirable. In lieu of burning, close mowing may be used, but this is more expensive. (3.) Limit the area preferably by fencing, to the acreage that can be kept heavily grazed. (4.) Seed to Carpet Grass at the rate of 5 to 10 pounds per acre any time after spring weather has begun end moisture conditions are favorable. If not already present, lespedeza should be seeded at the rate of S nounds Der acre. (5.) Drain by open ditches all areas where water is likely to stand for a considerable time. (6.) Heavy grazing will destroy all bunch grasses in one or at most two seasons, and solid Carpet Grass sod will cover the land, w (7.) On "flatwoods" and other j soils suited to Carpet Grass, galleberry and bayberry often occupy much land. These shrubs may be eradirated by cutting with a brush hook or other device two or three times. v ? ? s ?
