PERMANENT PASTURES
Bermuda and Bur Clover. Make Most
Desirable All-the-Year Pasture
For South Carolina.

Bermuda grass and bur clover make
the most desirable permanent pasture
for South Carolina and Bermuda espo
cially Is recommended by Clemson
College as a pasture grass to all farm
ers in this state who are raising cat
tie and hogs or who expect to raise
them. One OF the most essential steps
In any livestock development is the
establishment Of good permanent
pasture.
Experience has shown that Bermuda
Is the best pasture grass for the
South. One Of its valuable qualities
is that 1t may be planted in practical
ly any month. the only precaution nee
essary in winter being to cover the
roots deeply enough.
In sowing Bermuda grass, it Is best
to use the roots. Run turn plow fur
rows two feet apart, drop a small root
every two feet In these burrows and
throw one furrow on each planted
row. Allow to grow for one summer
with only light grazing. and turn un
der or otherwise break In fall, just al
or soon after frost. The long runners
thus covered will furnish new plant
the following season from each cover
ed joint and you will have an excel
lent sod. II done in this way a good
sod can be obtained within two
years at small expense.
If Bermuda gra1c is put in this win
ter, bur clover can IN added next Aug
ust.
