Starting Grazing Areas in South

Starting Grazing Areas in South
Georgia
e. F. D., Folkston, Ga, writes:
visa come Information In re-
gard to starting permanent
pasture. We have several hun
bred acres OF cleared land which
would like to get started in
pasture. Is there any grass
which. when started In the wire
grass woods, will continue to
spread and do to Craze? Please
tell me what varieties to use
and how to manage the land
and get the grass started.
1t is rather difficult to establish a
good pasture on land that dries out
too much. The best pasture lands
in south Georgia viii be those which
lie relatively low. This does not
mean that there should be standing
water or that the water should ap.
preach too close to the surface at
any season of the year. But very
deep. sandy soils dry out so quickly,
especially on top, that grasses are
not likely to make a permanent
Judgment thereon On the other
moist land in south Georgia that is
finely adapted to the cultivation Of
Lespedeza, Dalis grass and carpet
grass. From ten to twenty pounds

Ugh of Dallis grass and carpet grass
by be seeded with advantage. Rath-
eE close grazing is desirable IN your
section of the state, though it is
probably not good practice to Craze
Lespedeza too heavily the first year.
as it is necessary to give it a chance
to seed itself. The rate OF seeding
indicated should enable you to de-
velop a good sod in the course of a
few months.
1t is also important to remember
that freshly broken land is not in
good condition for pasture making,
as grasses require a rather firm
seed bed. 1t is desirable, therefore,
that land be rolled after seeding, or
tramped with cattle. The seed of
grasses should also be covered into
the soil with weeder, or with lit
tie spiked-tooth harrow. 1t is a
good idea to mix some dry soil with
the grass seed in order that it may
be uniformly and evenly distributed.
The funds available for the purchase
and distribution of grass seed have
all been exhausted. Therefore, we
are not in position to cooperate with
the farmers of Georgia on the basis
indicated in your communication at
this time.

JACKASS PLATFORM is SILENT
ON RIGHT TO ORGANIZE; NOT
PLEDGED AGAINST Child LABOR
(speoIaI to The DaIIy worksrl

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN New York, June o.
Samuel Gompes democratic party has adopted its platform
for the 1924 campaign This also the platform endorsed by
Major George Berry who will be in the this week for
the vicepresdentia nomination 1t also the platform to
which James A. Holland president of the New York State
Federation of Labor Gompers lieutenant in Tammany Hall
politics, is enthusiastically committed
This democratic platform does not say word about
trade unions;
Inunctions against labor not mentioned
The open shop drive is not condemned;
Abolition of child labor is not pledged;
The Railway Labor Board, which fought the shipments
unions 1922 not referred to in the vague railroad plank
Labor which offered nothing is told that it is not
comnodity-chi comfort for the workers, whose labor is
bought and sold at the lowest price;
The ant-labor Ku Klux Kan is not attacked by name
appropriation Of the farmers by the banking trust is
ignored entirely in the agricultural plank
falling Of the thieves who looted the nations
in the famous Teapot steals not urged spoken off,
Haiti and other Caribbean nations, that have been
by American marines usupng the government in behalf
of New York bankers offered word of hope of

The democratic platform is the most reactionary the
party has put into presidential campaign in thirty years.

Shelby Dawson of Washington pro-
tested against the segregation of
Negro workers in the government de-
partments in Washington. He said
the policy had been started by the
Wilson administration and continued
by the Harding and Coolidge admins
trations. Residential restriction he
called infamous. He called on the
delegates to Eight this segregation
to the last ditch until we can live
where ever we want to-"
w. S. Henry of Indiana said: IF
our children begin in segregated

In this the Irish democrats followed

the chances Of the Democratic party,
which Bryan insists is an agency OF
