Shortage OF Tame Grass No.
ticeable In Every Section
Of Arkansas.

In every portion Of the state one
Is impressed with the shortage Of
tame pasture. Never before have
we had such high priced feed. The
price is sure to be high for some
years to come. Livestock can not
be kept with profit on the average
farm without cheap feed and pas.
tuIe crops excel all others for cheap
ness. Definite tests have been made
and it has been conclusively proven
that every soil in Arkansas with
medium good fertility will grow pas
ture with profit, however the land
must be properly prepared and
grasses and clovers selected that
are adapted to the soil In question,
Almost every farm has some waste
land, or land that still has the stumps
In II or that it Is too rough or stony
for general farming.
Most failures with grasses and
clovers are due 10 thin soil, or i'm
proper seeding. Worn out soil will
not grow grass. Build II up with
cowpe0S or SIMILAR crops, Before
sowing see that the land has a good
seed bed. 1t must be leveled down
and the c'ods broken, When erase
or clover seed are sown on rough
land, and afterwards covered, some
of them nre buried so deep that the
plant cannot reach the surface.
There is also a tendency to drop
many seed down In holes so that
an uneven stand results.
Sow early, The latter part of
September or after the first fall
rain Is usually a good time, If seed
ing Is done early the plants make
q good growth, are not so opt to be
killed out by winter freezing and
make much more grazing during the
