dairy pasture and wish to make 1t as
good as | can. How many bushels of
butter beans can be raised on an acre
of land On the hull green? How many
bushels of okra to the acre greer for
ra rket? Iltase let IRE know where I
can get reliable dairy book for be-
sirr er? Also book on truck farming?
Answer-March is the proper month
in which to renovate your bermuda
PASTURE. The blowing should be done
Preferably with a narrow coulter plow,
che that will 60 down and stir the soil
underneath without upheaving the sud
too much. At this time 1t would be
well to scatter over the surface about
200 to 800 pounds Of a mixture of equal
parts of acid phosphate muriate of pot
2sh and cotton seed meal The surface
should then be narrowed and If conve-
nient rolled, so as TO give a smooth, level
surface.
RESCUE grass, ID my JudSmeHt, WOuld
give you better results than rye Hairy
Vetch is also recommended. Either or
beth of these should be sown as soon
2s possible, slight narrowing In being
all that will be necessary. About 40
POUNDS of the rescue grass seed or 90
pounds of the vetch seed would be
enough.
cannot answer your question about
butter beans and okra. Probably the
lest book on carrying is Curriers' Amer
lean Dairying,' sold by Orange Judd
Co, New York
| suggest that you put yourself in
communica ton with your state agri-
cultural experiment station at Auburn.
Ala. That station has a we'll equipped
dairy and doubtless is prepared to give
practical advice in dairy matters.
