The Permanent Pasture Problem.

Over much Of the larger part of the
Cotton Belt, Bermuda grass should be
the basis of the permanent pasture
This grass is hardy, persistent, stands
our long, hot, dry summers we'll,
fiourishes during wet weather, and Is
nutritious. But, since it is strictly a
hot weather plant, it should be SUP
plemented with other plants that Will
give US, as nearly as possible, year
round pasture.
The best OF these supplementary
pasture plants to go with Bermuda
are. for winter grazing, bur and
white clover, and, for summer graz
ing, lespedeZa or Japan clover. Bar
and white clover, once well establish
ed. NAV be relied upon to furnish
considerable winter and early spring
grazing long before the Bermuda be-
gins to grow, while lespedeZa comes
I'D during the spring and furnishes
good grazing during the summer. All
four of these grazing crops are per
manent-that is, once well establish
ed. they do not have to be reSeeded.
Of course in many sections 0thC2
grasses and legumes, such as blue
grass, redtop, black medic and nell
lotus do we'll and should be used, but
even where these are fairly depend
able, Bermuda, bur and white clover
and Iespedeza also usually do well,
and should be included-The Pro

Vocational Education Bill Big Step
Forward.

In the current Farm and Fireside
John Snure makes the following CON-
ment on the bill providing for vOca-
tional education that has just been
passed by congress:
The bill has been one of the big
things of the session of Congress end
ing March It'll" he says. 1t WIS
passed by the Senate last summer aud
by the House in January. 1t is the
greatest single piece of educational
legislation the Federal Government
has ever enacted. The next few years
will tell whether it is to realize the
expectations of its advocates. one
powerful supporter of such training
has been the American Federation Of
Labor. Various agricultural Organi-
cations have been back of it, also or
CARNATIONS Of manufacturers.
What does the vocational educa-
ton measure provide? 1t provides for
the granting Of money from the fed
eral treasury to the States for Stimu-
lating vocational education in a@ricul-
ture and in the trades, Industries. and
domestic arts. The bill uses the term
Agricultural education But this in
cludes education for the farm home as
well as for the farm itself.
The Government, starting with an
appropriation of close to $2,OO0.000,
will before long be giving over $1,000
600 every year to aid in vocational
education. In the next ten years the
Government VII have given over $780,
100000 for this purpose. Under the
plan the money paid out by the Gov
eminent is to be divided among the
States. And for each dollar received
from the Government the State is to
spend an equal amount for the same
purpose, besides meeting all cost of
buildings, equipment, and mainten-
