STARTING A BLUEGRASS
PASTURE ON ROUGH LAND

On all types Of untillable land the
spring seeding of pastures almost in
variably gives better results than fall
seeding, unless the soil is SO weedy
that fall seeding is necessary to give
the grass an early start in COMPETE
ton with the spring growth of weeds,
according to the Department of Farm
Crops of the University of Missouri.
No preparation of the soil is neces-
sary other than burning the leaves or
other dead plant matter. But after
the seed is sown it should by all
means be narrowed or brushed into the
soil if the land is clear enough to al
low the passage of the implement.
Seeding in the spring will yield but
little return the first season, and if it
is necessary to begin grazing by ear
ly summer the grass should be seeded
with rye or oats, which will furnish
considerable pasturage during May
and June.
On rough land fertile enough to pro-
duce a good growth of grass, blue
grass pasture may be started by SOW
ing in March mixture of 8 pounds of
bluegrass, pounds of timothy, and 5
pounds of red clover per acre. On
soil not so fertile, 8 pounds of blue
grass, pounds of orchard grass, A
pounds of red top, and pounds of al
sike clover should be sown. For the
drier or gravelly lands a mixture of

the weight of silage at the time Of
filling is adapted for estimating the
weight of settled silage. The weight
per cubic foot at the time of filling
varies widely with the depth of the
silo, the percentage of moisture in the
silage, the proportion of grain, the
thoroughness of packing, the rate of
filing, and the diameter of the silo.
On account of the many complications
influencing the weight of silage it is
impossible to give any estimate of the
weight that is more than an approx
nation. Whenever possible the
weight of silage bought or sold should
be actually determined rather than es-
timated. A more accurate table for
estimating the weight of silage with
directions for correcting for condi-
tions is published by the Missouri Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, in
circular called Estimating the capac-
ity of Silos and the Weight of Sill
age", which will be sent free on re-
quest,

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The practice of having pupils write
letters to the County Superintendent
is gaining rapidly in popularity. AS
before emphasized in these notes such
practice on the part of teachers and
pupils acts as necessary stimulus
in language work. Probably from
time to time extracts will be published
from some of the best letters in Or
der to give the necessary encourage
mcnt and commentator to the chill
dren. The following letter written by
Julia Highley, pupil of the Oak Hill
school, is here published in full:
"You have asked the pupils of Oak
Hill school to write you letter.
therefore l am going to write you
about our flag.
Zone morning, instead of our usual
morning exercises, the teacher read to
US an offer which the Jefferis Com
pany, 912 Meridian St., Anderson, In
diana, had made to all the schools in
the United States. The Company's
advertisement was in the paper, Nor
NAL Instructor-Primary Plans. The
offer was to give every school, a
large American flag, x s feet, if the
pupils would sell sixty flag buttons, at
ten cents each.
"The pupils of our school were very
anxious to have flag, and readily
consented to this offer, so the teacher
sent for the buttons the next day.
| "The flag buttons arrived on a GER
tain Friday morning, that afternoon
they were distributed among the pu-
pills, and on the following Monday,
the buttons were all sold, and the
money was brought to the teacher.
"The Company offered to give to
every school that sent the money to
them before the end of two weeks, a
booklet entitled "The Story of the
Flag" Our school won this booklet
by being prompt in selling the buttons
"The teacher sent the money to the
Company, and the flag arrived in a
few days. After the flag came, the
larger boys went out in the pinery
back of the school house, and cut a
large pine pole. The pole was 46 IL
feet long.
"The pupils experienced considera.
BILE difficulty in getting the pole up
One of the directors and his son were
passing along the road, SO they came
in and helped raise the pole. Then the
cord was fastened onto the pole, and
Old Glory was hoisted to the top"
