CHEAPEST WAY TO
IS TO HAVE THEM

Used for grazing that Is not suited to
| staple crops'. 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.
