The new planter is a tractor .pulled implement that does the complete job—opens furrow, spaces spribs, spreads fertilizer, closes and packs furrow. » There is considerable interest among cattle farmers of the county in planting Coastal Bermuda grass this spring. The District is assisting interested fanners in getting up a cooperative order of the new grass sprigs, and have already “received orders for over five hundred (500) bushels. , Several farmers are planning to plant a “mother” or nursery patch of the grass from which to harvest the sprigs to increase plantings on their own farms and also, for sale to oth ers. The new planter will be available to farmers on a per acre basis charge. The District Supervisors have not set the charge at this writ ing but will do so at an early date, Mr. Lawson said. Mr. Lawson said further, “we are not interesed in making money from the planter but we are interested in conserving soil and water. Bermuda grass is one of the best known plants for this job, as well as one of the best known pasture grasses.” Notes From The County Agent's Otfice By C. B. CANNON, County Agonl individuals.
