stretched VIZ or three barbed wires
around it and called 1t u pasture.
Not a furrow was turned, not a seed
was sown. No wonder that u pas
lures are often referred to as "a place
where grass does not grow"
A good pasture is made by thorough
ly preparing very fertile soil and seed
ing it to the right kind OF mixed
grasses, so that every square foot OF
it is we'll covered with nutritious
grasses instead of broomsledge. briars
and weeds. The large majority OF US
have never had a good permanent
pasture and therefore base our con-
illusions on the value Of q permanent
pasture on our experience with q pas.
ture where grass does not grow. W.
have never yet valued q thoroughly
good permanent pasture high enough.
There are. Of course. pastures with
out grass such as pastures OF cow
peas, soy beans. peanuts, velvet beans,
oats and 80 forth, but these are tem-
porary pastures and last for only .
very short time. OF course. we must
have such temporary pastures In or
der to succeed In the live stock ousi-
ness, but the subject before US just at
this time Is a good permanent pasture
full of nutritious grasses and clovers
We are talking about taking land and
thoroughly preparing it and fertilizing
with acid phosphate and planting 1t In
cowpeas, soy beans, lespedeza, pea
nuts or some other good leguminous
crop for one or two years and then
sodding 1t In Bermuda grass, crimson
clover, burr clover and white clover
and lespedeza for pure bred hogs. cat
tie, horses, mules, sheep and other
live stock to Craze.
Bermuda Is by all odds the best pas
lure grass for the larger part OF the
south. When it Is well sodded on
good land, there is no better summer
pasture to be found in North Amer
lea. All kinds of stock are very fond
of it. Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
will leave a field of clover to Craze on
good Bermuda grass. Furthermore
1t is adapted to all kinds of soil.
Thoroughly pillow and harrow the
soil some time before seeding or trans
planting old sod. The pasture Is ex-
pected to last for several years and
for this reason should be thoroughly
p~ulverized for from five to fifteen
inches deep. Where the sod is avail
able, do not use seed. The sod Is by
far preferable to seed. After the land
has been thoroughly prepared. lay of
row about two feet apart with q
shovel pillow and drop small pieces of
Bermuda grass in the burrows about
two feet apart. Cover with a harrow.
On fairly productive soil, the Bermuda
grass will cover the entire surface the
first season II put out at the proper
time in the early spring.

How long the cotton grower will be

amount of money which Is the annual

decide. While 1t is true that no grow
er however energetic and earnest can

Cotton. like cor and other grains.
Ii q crop of what we may call low
commercial value. That is to say, the
cash return from an acre devoted to
cotton is low as compared to the re-
turn from some other crops. An acre
devoted to strawberries may yield a
net return of $400, but an acre de-
voted to cotton will usually yield not
over $50. Thus, while one might prof
itably spend $40 or $50 per acre to
combat insects on strawberries, the
average farmer cannot spend more
than a few dollars per acre at most
to combat cotton insects, If he is to
make a profit.
With any crop which is grown In
such large areas, and where there are
so many individual plants, 1t Is usual

OF the trouble to other parts of the
field. We must, therefore, depend
mainly upon such methods of prepar-
ing the land, selection OF seed and
varieties, fertilization, cultivation,
handling, etc., as will render the crop
less liable to injury, or will enable 1t
to quickly recover when attacked.
Treatment for a pest must frequently
be given before the pest actually ap-
pears, thus preventing its injuries,
rather than to attempt a remedy after
the damage has become evident.
It has already been stated that in
combating insect pests of cotton we
must largely depend on methods OF
managing the crop so that 1t shall be
least subject to attack, or to make 1t
grow 30 vigorously that 1t will quick
ly recover from injury. Such methods
may be called cultural" methods,
since they imply merely a changing
or modification of the methods OF or
binary culture already in common use.
Intelligent farmers everywhere are
coming to see that some system OF
rotation is necessary to- secure the
best results with any crop. To grow
any one crop continuously on the
same land year after year will surely
result In wearing out the important
elements of plant-food for that crop,
as well as to deplete the supply OF
humus, which is SO necessary to every
soil. To grow the same crop cOntin-
uously also gives every opportunity
for the insect pests of that crop to
multiply undisturbed until they. be-
come destructive enough to ruin 1t.
Crops with different requirements
should follow one another continu->
ously so as to keep something grow
ing ON the land all the time.
In some respects cotton is unfnr-
tunate In regard to rotation for insect
pests, for If we rotate In such a way
as to avoid one, w are liable to play

of another. II cotton follows a growth

while if cotton follows corn it is likely
to be attacked by the cotton root
louise. The grower must, therefore. be
sufficiently watchful and intelligent to
know what his serious pests are, and
must then choose such system as Will
give the least opportunity to his worst
pests. Carefully studied out and used,
the rotation Of cotton with other
crops can be made quite ~effectual in
avoiding cut-worms, cowpea-pod wee
vii. root-louse and red spider. and to
a lesser extent it may be helpful
against the cotton leaflouse.
