Thin most valuable acquisition
to our list of pasture grasses
Booms to havo come from India
where it is called udab."
Until its great value as a pasture
grass and, on moist fertile
soils, as a hay producer, became
known it was regarded as a pest
by the cotton planters all oyer
the Southen United States. Many
plantations, in the South Atlantic
States, were abandoned on account
of its prevalence upon them
which (trn nnrw uiuldino.

profitable returns from Bermuda
pastures and Bermuda hay than
were ever realized from the same
fields while cultivated in cotton.
There is a well authenticated record
of 13,000 lbs. of cured Bermuda
hay, per acre, from three
mowings during oue season, on
the Oconee River bottoms in
Georgia.
Farmers who, a few years since
dreaded its appearonce upontheir
J farms as they did Canada thistle
or the famous coco or nut
grass, are now industriously planting
Bermuda pastures and meadows.
Bermuda is a stoloniferous grass,
propagating not only by means
of underground stems like most
of the so-called blue grasses, but
this propassates also by overground
stems. This habit enables
it to spread quite rapidly under
favorable conditions.
Bermuda being a child of the
South delights in suushine and
will not thrive if deprived of this ;
life giving influence. This fact
is utilized in the most effective
means employed for its destruction.
It is propagated in this
country most satisfactorily by
planting pieces of the sod, but
may bo by Reed also if proper
precautions against the shading 1
out of the young plants by taller
growth of weeds and grass by
both under-ground and overground
stems and by seed, lie- 1
produces seed stalks and llowers
but, in this country no seed. The [
seed spikes branch into from 1
three to six spikelels. There arc 1
two leaves at each joint. Those
two characteristics uiTorda means
of readily distingu ishing it from i
Lhispalumdistichum, which pro pa- j
gates like tho Bermuda, but is i1
coarser, lias only ono leaf to the '
joint and only two spikelets toj(
Nip need slaik.
Bermuda ia perennial in warm 1
climates but perennial-rooted in 1
the upper cotton belt. The blades
of the grass are killed by ihe lir.-t 1
severe frost, but the under-ground
sterna and roots and the overground
stems that have taken 1
root are not kilied by even severe
freezes.
ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION.
Bermuda is propagated most sue- j
cessfnlly by planting pieces of i
the sod. In the fall while breaking
the land with a turn plow I
drop piecea of the sod in every I
third furrow behind the plow and :
cover with tho next plow (dice.
Pow rye on tho land as left by
the plow and harrow or drag it
smoothe, covering the rye and j
peed. In spring turn cattle on to'
pasture the rye and aid the Ber- j
iiiuim i'j i cmuv i ijk MllNUH |
firming the Roil upon the Bormu-1
da roots. Neither horses, sheep
nor hogs should bo allowed upon
young Bermuda pastures. Those
animals will interfere with the
spreading of tho Bermuda by biting
off the over ground stems.
For spring planting, prepare
the laud by plowing and harrow- j
ing as for corn. Open furrows |
two feet apart, and in these drop ^
pieces of sod every two feet, t
Cover with a light furrow and 5
roll down smoolhe. This should p
bo done in March or in April. It f
may be planted 111 this way at 0
any time during the summer and i
early fall by covering the pieces s
of sod deeply.
If seed are used the land should 0
bo thoroughly prepared as for I:
other grass seed, having the sur t
face thoroughly pulverized. Draw i
a smooth harrow over the surface a
leaving the whole surface corru- 1
gated wi th small furrows. Sow the t
seed after danger of late spring <
frost is over, at the rate of five v
lbs. of seed per acre and brush in h
very lightly or better, press in v
with a heavy roller. t
PROTECT TIIE YOUNG PLANTS FROM n
RAIN.
Whether sod or seed is used all J1
foreign growth must be kept off,
either by posturing with heavy *
cattle or by froquont mowings to 1
prevent the y. ung plants from

bent to pastureelosely with cattle. '
If vigorous growth is desired "
the land should he thoroughly ?
and liberally fertilized with a *
mixture or combination of ani- *
mal and commercial manures. ^
These should be thoroughly incor
porated with tho soil before plant- c
ing. Once established, tho Ber- *
mudasod will a fiord pasturage for e
an indefinite period, improving c
tho land each year. If grown on t
moist fertile soil it afTor s two or t
throe cuttings of superior hay
each season.
After standing fifteen or tT enty a
years the sod should bo thorough- ?
ly broken and portions of the h
propagating stems turnedas deep- *
ly as practicable into the soil. If ti
this is done in the fall clover or ?
Si
wheat may be sown without in- t
jury to tho Bermuda, as these *
plants make their principal I
