Pastures occupy Homo of the host land in lite country uud pay a prolil on it. 1 For tho cotton belt. Bermuda. Les pedeza, Whito Clover, and Hur Clover are the host plants to occupy the pas ture area and for any given quantity and area of land will carry tho largest number ol' animals. When well estab lished on good land this combination of plants will carry as many as four grown cows per acre. A pasture that will carry ono grown cow per acre is a good one. For tho rest of me country, ex tending as fur west as Kansas and Ne braska. Kentucky and Cunada Blue Uransos and White Clover make the best pastures and the?e plants aro well adapted to tho section indicated. A blue grass pasture that will carry one grown cow to the acre is re garded as exceptionally good; one that will carry a grown cow to two acres is regarded as good. For certain types of land Canada blue grass. Red Top and Alsike ('lo ver give the beBt grazing. For the country north of the cotton bolt the blue grasses and white clover aro so aggressive that they occupy land not otherwise used so that most of the good blue grass pastures of the country are established by natural agencies and this is a desirable and easy way to get a good pasture. Most of the large area of land used for graz ing in this country is occupied bv plants established by natural agencies and sometimes this results in good grazing, but often it results in very Indifferent grazing. In the cotton belt no pasture estab lished by natural agencies is compara ble to a pasture sodded with Bermuda, Lespedeza, White Clover and Bur Clover. As a rule if a cotton farmer wants a good pasture he must maki It. Bermuda may he established by planting a small piece of sod every two feet each way on land that has been prepared as for oats or other 1 Rtn^'l .o;'-*' ^ r Tr.xr put out I any time from April to October when i there is moisture enough to make the I sod live. White Clover may be sown i In the early fall. Bur Clover (in tho [ burr) ip best sown in July. Lespe deza should he sown the latter part of February. Five pounds of Whito Clover seed are enough for one acre; twenty-five pounds of hur clover hurrr. and twenty pounds of Lespedeza seed are sufficient for one acre. Good pastures should he made grad ually as the time element permits of making the cost small. Enough Bur Clover and Lespedeza to sow one acre each gives a start and seed from these small areas can be sown on other areas and the process continued until the plants are established over the entire area. Cattle may help to scatter the seed, especially Lespedeza seed. The SANITARY MEASURES ARE ALL IMPORTANT IN THE CONTROL OF ALL PLANT DISEASES Clemson College, S. C.?Where pro per precautions are taken it is much easier to prevent au infectious dis- i ease than it is to cure it. This is especially true of plant diseases. Plant tissues once infected with a parasitic organism cannot be cured. The dise&sed part might be removed and a part of the plant saved, but the tissues already affected cannot, as a rule, be cured. The only practical method, then, of controlling plant dis eases is by prevention. With plant diseases as well as with infectious dis eases of man and the lower animals, sanitary measures are our pricipal means of prevention. If a certain disease is to be check< ed, all sources of infection should be removed and it is always the old dis eased parts that serve as the main source of infection. It is from these that the disease spreads to healthy plants. The first time that tomato wilt, for instance, occurs in any place, the plants attacked should be removed and destroyed. The same applies to the diseases of cabbage, turnips, let tuce and other garden crops. "Pull and burn" all diseased plants should be the motto wherever any plant dis ease occurs for the first time. This is the simplest and surest method of getting rid of all sources of infection. This also applies to many diseases which have become established. It is even possible to entirely get rid of a disease where it has been present for some time by burning all of the diseased parts. With certain soil diseases like to mato wih, cotton wilt, water-melon wilt, etc., it is not only Important that the diseased plants be destroyed, bat FEED FARM ANIMALS labor cost is much l< ss where Uioro time is used. Time is often a valua ble aid in farm operations and it i* very Inrxpeuaive. This i* particular* ly true iu establishing K*H)U pastures. A grown row should gain two hun dred und fifty pounds during the pas ture season. With fairly good pas tures and good management the gains per acre should be worth four to llvo dollar*} and nuty he inure. This ap pears small wheat compared to cotton at $100 per aero and this difference is Just as great as it seems and yet tho pasture farmer may make th? most money. Unless land Is scarce and limited it usually does not matter about the acre profits. What should be of Interest is how much does tho man make. The man labor on one acre of cotton may be greater than it Is on one hundrod acres of pasture where beef cattle are bought in the spring at the beginning of the h?mod aud sold at the close of the season In the fall. One man may do the requir ed work on live thousand acres of pas ture. Cotton is a much more inten sive crop than pasture grass but ex tensive crops may be Just as profits bio as Intensive crops It Is really hotter for one to think of how much money he is going to make during the year rather than how much crop ha is going to make on one acre. Near tho middle of the cotton belt there is an area of Country that ap pears to be about one-half gullies. By pasturing that land a man made eight to ton thouuand dollars a year. There was plenty of land, such as It was, and he used It. The fact that he was uelng large areas of land did not worry him. Pasture farming is a very sure wav to make money but you must use comparatively large areas. With some pastures It pays to ro tate the animals. Let them gra^o one area for a while then change to a different area and in this way the grass In each field is given a good chance to grow while the animals are grazing elsewhere. But this is not tho way to manage a Bermuda pas ture. Keep plenty of animals on a Bermuda eod to keep It grazed close to the gjround. By eating the best grasses animals encourage worthless weeds to grow In pastures and for this reason it is often advisable to run a mowing machine over them once or twice a year. Pas tures need some shade but it take^ open land to grow good grass. The cattle graze on the open area*. The cotton farmer may have some excellent temporary pastures. A corn field where a good crop of peas or vel vet beans have been grown as com panion crops makes a valuable pas ture for the fall season. The. gains made In such pasture may be worth as much as ten dollars (Hi acre. Other temporary pastures may be had with peanuts and soy beans and still others with rape and sorghum. Temporary pasture In the cotton belt may be made to supplement the per manent grazing areas to very great advantage. Nitrate, of soda, as a top dressing on Bermuda sod. can be made to pay good profits. It should be applied the first of May. Cotton is a very reliable crop but even cotton is not as sure as pastures every precaution must be taken to prevent the soli which these plants have grown in from being transferred to other ground which is free from the disease. Anything which carries soil from around tho diseased plants will carry the disease. Where a small area is affected with a disease, then, under no conditions should this be plowed at the same time as the uninfected soil adjoining. All implements used in cultivating patches where the dis ease occurs should be thoroughly cleaned before they are used in any dther place. Drainage water would also serve to spread the disease from such places if the water is allowed to drain from the diseased portions on to lands where the disease does not occur. Where it is practical to do so, many of the fruit diseases can be controlled in a large measure by collecting and burning all of the dis eased fruit. If it were possible to oollect and burn all of the rottea plums and peacb.es in a community at one time, brown rot would be in a large measure prevented. With the tree diseases, It is very important that all diseased portions should be pruned off and burned. Wherevar a dead limb is found in a tre^ it should be cnt out and burned. Any dead tissue is sure to bo a source of infec tion. This is especially true of such diseases as fire blight of appla and pear.
