farmer in a thousand fully appreciates
the full value OF a good permanent

agriculture TO the magnificent perma.

OF Kentucky has done much TO cause
our farmers TO appreciate grass to
some extent. There are sections OF

successful growing OF fine stock on
grass has helped Kentucky TO gain
friends for grass.

TURN MORE LAND TO GRASS
Many Farmers Do Not Realize How
Valuable Crop Is. Especially With
Beef. Mutton and Pork.

More land in grass should be the
slogan in the south. We have been
fighting grass for many years. Let
us put thousands Of acres In grass
and give 1t a square deal. We do not
realize how valuable grass Is. We
do not value II fully as feed. We
have never kept an account OF the
beef. mutton. pork and so on that an
acre of good grass produces. We do
not realize that land in grass instead
of cotton, corn, tobacco, cane or rice
to large extent solves the labor
problem We do not measure the large
return from the land in grass and the
small cost of growing the grass.
Many farmers in the south prize
wheat, oats, corn. cotton, rice and
cane crops because their growth has
become habit. Very few farmers
have compared the profit derived from
an acre of cotton and an acre Of Der
muda grass, lespedeza and some win
ter clover. On many farms the grow
ing of cotton represents a loss instead
OF profit On many farms in the
