In preparing lOgged-of land for pas.

on when the land is burned over. &C.
cording to specialists of the Office of
farm management of the United States
department of agriculture. If the burn
occurs during July. August. or early in
September, the seed should be sOwn
in the early fall before the ashes have
been settled by the rains.
If seeded in the unsettled ashes,
the first rains that come will cover
the seed sufficiently to secure good
termination. If the burn occurs so
late in the fall that the seed cannot
be sown until during October. 1t is
best to Sow the grasses then and wait
until in February or March to sow the
clover.
The heaving Of the soil during the
late fall and winter, condition
caused by alternate thawing and freez-
ing. often destroys young clover unless
it Is sOwn early enough In the fall to
get a good start. If the fall-s0wn
clover is destroyed In this way 1t may
be reseeded during February or March.
When sown in the early spring the
heaving Of the soil helps to cover the
seed.

IFS the price of beef high?
This question is heard on all sides
today. The producer says. mo, con-
sidering the price get for my cattle"
The consumer says, EYES," So there
you have 1t. But whatever the right
answer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher II there is not enough
beef to supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy.
On the other hand. prices may de-
cline If an over-supply is produced.
What is the present situation? We
have today less beef in sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department Of ag-
yriculture, which Is kept closely ad-
vised as to conditions on the ranges
and in the markets. The present price

Utilize Pastures to Utmost.
For an answer to this question, we
must look to Mother Earth. This Is
springtime, the crops are planted, the
grass Is growing, and the cattle are

analysis, utilize pasture to the limit,
conserve roughages to the utmost, and

The bureau Of animal industry of
the department Of agriculture has for
several years been studying the prob

in cooperation with the West Vir-

series of beef cattle experiments in

Its attendant loss In profit, is frequent.
ly emphasized, but the decreased re-
turns due to overstocking should be
considered as we'll. When the num-
Der of cattle on a given area fail to
keep the grass short. that which Is
allowed TO grow becomes less palat-
able and less nutritive. Moreover, OBJ
jectionable weeds are certain to gain
q fOOthOld.
Utilization Increases Land Value.
BY utilizing to the fullest extent
the land devoted to pasture the value
Of the land Is increased and greater
profit results. A system of careful
management makes it possible to use
higher-priced land, than has heretofore
been used for such. for profitable beef
production. The intelligent use Of
pastures gives return which COM
pares favorably with that from the
cropping system, but requires less Ia
Dor.
1t is not possible to state just how
many cattle should be allowed to the
acre for grazing purposes, because this
is determined largely by the quality
and stand of grass which is. Of course,
variable.
In conclusion, II may be said that
the beef producer in most sections who
will obtain the largest net returns is
the man who will stock his pastures
so that the grass is kept fairly short
but in good condition.
