More and more farmers are learning that Coastal Bermuda grass is well adapted in all sections of Sooth Carolina. In the photo above, laborers on the farm of Horace and James Martin, owners of a dairy farm near Gray Court, load their automatic planter with sprigs preparatory to planting.—(Clemson College Extension Service Photo). Coastal Bermuda Is Ideal For Hay, Grazing, Silage “Farmers in our section are coming to ■ appreciate more and more the high yields, low pro duction costs, and drought resist ance of Coastal Bermuda grass,” says Marett L. Outz, Laurens County agent. “In Laurens County, we have at least a hundred farmers who are planting Coastal.” he said. "Our acreage planted to this year is about three times wha it was last year." Laurens County farmers are just a part of the growing host of Coastal Bermuda fans throughout the Piedmont. In fact, all over South Caro lina. Coastal is rpaidly replacing common Bermuda as the best permanent summer pasture grass for the soils and climate of this state. Horace and James Martin, farming brothers of the Young’s community near Gray Court, are good examples of South Carolina, farmers who are singing the praises of this crop. They milk 75 Holstein cows, and are planting some 15 acres this year in Coast al, for use both as hay and graz ing. Say the Martin brothers. “We have used Coastal Bermuda be fore, and we are well pleased with the results.” Hugh Woodle, extension agron omist at Clemson College, de scribes some astounding yields that were obtained in tests con ducted in Georgia, Alabama, and Texas, as well as in South Caro lina. Various levels of nitrogen were used, and in every case, Coastal produced about twice as much forage per acre as did eith er common Bermuda or Pensa cola Bahia, he said. County Agent Ouzts says, “One question farmers always ask is, ‘How much fertilizer should I use’?” For an answer, he tells of high production obtained by farm ers who fertilized with as much as 400-500 pounds of nitrogen per acre. He also points out that when these high yields—upwards of ten tons of hay per acre- are obtained, less acreage is re quired. Research has shown that high production can be maintained in- Fokkema Direct Recreation Workshop A recreation workshop will be directed by R. E.

Since Coastal Bermuda does ( not produce viable seed, it must ■ be established by sprigging. Many different methods of sprig ging have been tried by South Carolina farmers. All of the va rious methods have proven suc- cesful. if the basic principles are followed closely. According to Ouzts, one meth od growing in popularity in Lau rens County is sprigging with a tree plahter. Rates of sprigging vary, depending on the system used. Most automatic planters require 20 to 25 bushels of sprigs per acre. Costs also vary. Some farmers get by with as little as $5.00 per acre, while others spend as much as $50.00 per acre. Many farmers have their own source of sprigs, and therefore come out cheaper. Outz says, “The sooner our farmers come to recognize fully the value of this Crop, the better off we will be.” “Coastal produces more total tonnage of quality grazing, hay and silage than any other pasture grass. This type of advantage just can’t be ignored.” Friends of Linwood Cox, dau ghter of Mr .and Mrs. J.
