What is A Pasture
Nashville Home

Nashville Home
A typical Union county pas
ture has been described as "a
piece-of land where grass won't
grow, with a fence around it,"
That description will also tit the
average pasture in all the other
cotton" counties. And usually
the pasture has good stand of
old field pines growing in it.
Now and then however, you'll
find farmer who has put his
best land in pastures, and stock
ed it with clover and pasture
graSses-land that will produce
p bale of cotton or fifty bushels
OF corn per acre. Of course ii
takes some nerve for a farmer in
the cotton belt to do that, but he
is always we'll rewarded for his
nerve. If we can't quite get the
consent of our minds to put
some of our best lands in pas
lures, we ought to at least put
the two-horse plow on some of
our old pasture lands in Febru-
ary or March and make a seed
bed for seeding a mixture of
permanent pasture grasses for
hill lands. The seed required
for this purpose will not cost any
more per acre than the expendi-
ture we have been making for
commercial fertilizers to put
under cotton. There are two
ways to get ready for profitable
live stock farming. One is to
provide better pastures, and the
other is to raise feed for stock
next winter.
We might as we'll keep it in
mind that we can't "go" into live
stock industry in the sense OF
making a bowling success and
big income in the beginning, but
that we must grow" into the
business. and the only economic
and practical way to grow into
It IS to provide for the service OF,
gressive Union cddnty farmer
the other day who was real
anxious to get behind our repre-
sentatives in the general assem-
bly, and have a law enacted
making it unlawful to keep for
service in this county anything
but pure bred sires. Certainly a
law OF this kind would be much
more desirable and constructive
in its effect than a law TO prevent
the killing of scrub heifer calves.
With only pure-bred sires there
would soon be no desire to kill
heifer calves.

American Ship Sunk in North

Washington, Feb. 22.-The
United States government was
advised officially tonight of the
destruction of the first American
vessel on the high seas since the
outbreak of the European war.
American Consul Fee at Bremen
cabled that the steamer Evelyn

for Bremen had been blown
up" at Borkum, lust off the Ger

had been saved. The cause

given in the dispatch.
After a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Bryan
cabled Ambassador Page at Lon
don and Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin to make an exhaustive
inquiry as to the facts, and, if
the crew was landed in either of
their respective Jurisdictions, to
furnish every care and convent

men.
Although the extent of sea
zones of war proclaimed by
Germany was never defined

considered far distant from the
