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.

A schoolboy was required to write
an essay of 250 words about a motor
car. He submitted the following:
"My uncle bought a motor car. He
was riding in the country when it
busted up a hill. I think this about
twenty words. The other 230 are
what my uncle said when he was
walking back to town, but they are
not fit for publication.'?
