HIGH PRICE OF FEED DANGER
TO PASTURES
Latter Can be Ruined If Stock is
Turned on Too Early in
Spring
Farmers Warned Not to Overstock
Their Pastures

Don't put the stock on pasture too
early this spring." is the warning Civ
EN- farmers by Clark ID. Mason. county
farm agent.
Ion account of the high prices of
feeo." says Mr.. Mason, there will be
a tendency to put all stock on the past
ures too early, with the result of keep
ing back the development of the grass.
Keeping the grass eaten down close
from the start is the principal cause of
so much pasture land that is thin in sod.
''It must be remembered tina tn
root of plant can develop only as fast
as the top develops; for all the mater
ial that goes 10 make the root must be
elaborated in the leaf or the Top of the
plant On the other nand the rop can
develop only as fast as the root grows
to supply it with moisture and with
some of the food elements. So the top
and root mutually aid each other.
Pastures that have been kept eaten
down close for years have developed
thin sod, and they will never develop II
thick sod unless time is given the grass
to develop both a good top and deep go
ing roots. Therefore a pasture over
fed can produce only small proportion
of the grass it would grow if 1t were
given time to develop thick sod.
"The man that keeps his pasture
overstocked gets the least from It,.
Turning the stock on the pasture early
in the spring. before the grass has been
able to get good start. is justified
only when the pasture is understocked
and kelly to remain understocked
throughout the season."

The Cadillac Evening News, of Cad
lilac, Michigan, under date of April
