BEEF PRODUCTION IN THE SOUTH.
III The Matter of Pasturing.

III-The Matter Of Pasturing.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
It is very generally recognized
that the cheapest beef is made on
pasture. Where the best beef is
made, land never seems to become
too high priced to serve as pasture.
In many of the Northern States and
Europe land valued at from $50 to
$500 an acre is used for pasture and
yields what the owners think fair
profit or interest on it's value.
In North Carolina there is land
that can be bought for from s. to $15
per acre that, with proper manage
ment and an average season, pas
tured with good cattle, will produce
beef enough in one year to nearly
pay for it. To do this, however, it
would be necessary to give some at
tention to
PREPARING AND MAINTAINING THE
PASTURE.
But with us pasture usually means
a worn. out field, a rough hill or
mountain side, or low swamp that
is fit for nothing else. Yet, this
same land must produce enough
beef to more than equal it's value, or
complaint is at once made that there
is no money in cattle.
Certain cardinal facts seem to be
entirely lost sight of. An old field
that will no longer pay in corn or
cotton will not yield pasture that
will produce from 100 TO 200 pounds
of beef without some preparation
and fertilization. Moreover, it is as
necessary TO keep the weeds down in
order that the grass may grow as it
is to keep the grass down for cotton
to make a proper growth. Where it
can be done, it will always pay to
NOW the weeds and keep them in
check until the grass completely
covers the ground.
TOO CLOSE GRAZING
is another reason for poor pastures.
It is a mistake, not only because the
cattle do badly and are more likely
to become diseased, but also because
it allows the weeds to get the advan-
tage of the grass to such an extent
that soon there is nothing but weeds.
Close pasturing and tall weeds mean
that the grass will certainly be
killed-smotheredz/ yer large part
of the pasture. Nthe land must

ually but steadily increasing the
quantity of high grade commercial
fertilizers applied to corn. In 1898
they reduced the acreage given to
corn by 81, 410 acres, but, by the free
use of commercial fertilizers in.
creased the yield over that of 1892
by 1896, 400 bushels. From an aver
age yield of 1912 bushels per acre she
pushed up to IA bushels.
The result chronicled above is but
an earnest of what can be done in
growing corn successfully and profit
ably South. Georgia and South
Carolina failed to make showing as
favorable as that of North Carolina.
This year these two States ought
to inaugurate a reform along the
line blazed out by North Carolina
Georgia and South Carolina ought
each to learn the lesson of producing
a larger number of bushels of corn
per acre; this can be accomplished
through three agencies: thorough
preparation of the soil purchasing
and planting the best seed applying
to each measured acre a liberal sup
ply of a commercial fertilizer rich in
plant food-phssphorio acid, am
monia and potash in proper proper
tions, the nature of the soil and pre-
vious treatment being considered.
lido not believe that the average
yield of corn per acre credited to the
three States named represent them
with even seeming accuracy. The
yield per acre is insignificant COM
pared with that of other States
whose soil conditions are about the
same as those of the States referred
to. Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina ought any time
measure corn per acre with Della
ware, New Jersey and Connecticut.
But that phase of the case aside
our people need to give larger and
more particular attention to growing
corn this year. Their every interest
demands it; a sound policy and ex-
listing conditions require it.

be covered with grass if it is to yield
satisfactory pasture. This will never
be the case where brush, trees, OF
weeds shade the greater part of the
best soil.
HOW MUCH LAND TO ONE STEER.
Of course, no man can say how
much land should be allowed for
each steer, but if a gain of 300
pounds is expected during the sea-
son, and this is worth from Sc to $40,
it is not reasonable to expect suoh
returns from either one or two
acres, that are not worth more than
from SIS to $15 each. Twenty DER
cent. interest on $50 is about the
average value of 200 pounds of beef.
A good steer will easily make 200
pounds gain on good pasture during
a season, and is therefore justly en-
titled to range over land valued at
$50; for twenty per cent. interest Is
a liberal return on pasture land.
Henry, in his "Feeds and Feeding, "
says that an acre of land that will
produce 300 pounds of beef is worth
from $50 to 500. Experiments have
shown that 200 pounds gain during
six months, on good pasture, is not
too much to expect of good cattle. In
fact, Morrow, at the Illinois Expert
ment Station, obtained a gain of
from 285 to 44O pounds per steer
from May LIST to November 1st.
AN IMPORTANT FACT.
Our best lands will afford more
pasture during a season than the
average grazing lands of any State
in the Union, as the following from
the Yearbook of the q. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture will show. North
Carolina is compared with Iowa and
Illinois in yield of hay per acre for
the last ten years. Iowa and Illinois
are selected as representing the best
of the Northwestern grass producing
States:
The progressive farmer., 1902-03-18

1t will be noticed that not only has
the average yield of hay grass per
acre for the last ten years been
higher in North Carolina than in
either Iowa or Illinois, but the sig
niffoant fact that the production was
more uniform in North Carolina is
also apparent upon an examination
of this table. The lowest yield per
acre in North Carolina during the
ten years was in 1891, when it started
at 1 10 tons per acre, but in 1894 Illi-
nois only produced .73 of a ton per
acre, while in 1895 Iowa fell to SO of
a ton per acre. These are significant
facts in their relation TO beef pro-
duction, for the first essential of a
good grazing country is a uniform
and constant growth of grass. This
is assured to North Carolina by her
long summers and abundant rain
fall
GRAIN IN ADDITION TO PAsTURAGE.
Feeding grain to steers on good pas
ture is in the light of available data
not usually profitable, but when pas
lures are poor, as they are likely to
be in the fall of the year on our poor
lands, then the addition of a cheap
grain ration will be found valuable
indeed. AS to the results of expert.

ton, Prof. Morrow says:

PURE VARIETIES OF WATERMELONs
AND SWEET POTATOES.

Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
The time for seeding the garden or
farm is now at hand. Having ex-
perimented with great variety of
plants, I will give some notes on the
subject.
First in order is the watermelon.
Plant pure strain of seed that has
not been mixed with any other
variety for ten years. Judge Rice,
of Florida, had me to walk with him
to look at his melons. Said he,
"They have been kept pure for
thirty five years." giving me the
history. had rather pay two dol
lars a pound for the pure than
plant the mixed free of charge. I
bought the pure Rattlesnake or Au-
gust melon seed and would nor let
any vine grow near them, and in
three years more had a fine shape,
good flavor. It is a rare thing to
see a real pure stock of the August
melon. They have white seed and
q deep red meat and long shaped
rind, thick. You that are fond of a
good melon, try the above expert
ment for thu ee years and it will con-
vince you. The Strawberry or Noun.
tain Sweet or Black Spanish-make
your own selection and grow no
other vine there.
The sweet potato, like the melon,
are an aristooraoy. 1t is hard to get
a pure family, sort, or kind. You
can change the shape in three years.
If you want round potato, bed only
the round for three years and keep
them from other kinds and you have
what you want. If you want long
potatoes, select only the long.
Hybrids in many vegeta bles have
been the order of the day, but the
pure family stock is my preference,
after many experiments. How the
sweet potatoes mix know not. The
potato onion will mix, how know
not. Everything that has the pollen,
we guess how they mix. So all vines
should have distance from each
other. All lovers of purity should
make their own tests or experiments
and let it come under their personal
observation After all your read
ing, try your own experiment sta
ton. 1t will not do injustice to our
noble men that are helpful in these
valua BILE articles. To me they are
read over and studied much to my
benefit. Have you noticed that
while it is the custom TO select the
best matured corn for planting, peo
pie bed the smaller sweet potatoes
for seed? These are certainly the
last that form and not so we'll ma
tured and the sprouts are less vigor-
Gus. Why do planters plant their
Gull Irish potatoes and then com
plain of failure in crop yield?
This opening spring has kept US
all back in preparation. The man
that keeps himself back until the
land is thoroughly dry and then
makes a thorough preparation, is
the man most apt to succeed. Brother
farmer, be patient; you will have
time enough TO wear out all the
powers you possess. Worry and
fretting is where many people suffer
the greatest loss. Step steady and
let each step be sober, calm; do not
hurry II. II. MOORE.

you now not less than $25. Do you
