T ornament Pastures
Planned in Butts

JACKSON, Ga, Jan. 16.-At the
last meeting of the Butts County
Dairy association a large order was
placed with County Agent H. G.
Wiley for permanent pasture grass
seed. During the fall a large num-
Der of permanent pastures were
started by dairymen of the county
and this will be followed by spring
paintings of Dallas grass, carpet
grass, the clovers and lespedeza.
Members of the association have
found that by buying on a co-opera-
tive basis they can secure attrac-
tive prices. Practically all dairy
farmers in the county are now en-
gagged in building permanent pas
lures and this will help greatly to
provide cheap feed for the dairy
cattle. The goal Of the Kiwanis
club and the dairy association is
1000 dairy COWS in Butts county by
the end of the Year.
