Must Plant Pastures
for Success Of Dairy

The weakest point in North Caro-
lina's present dairy feeding program
is a lack of adequate pastures, says
John A. Arey, extension dry speci-
alist at State College.
Good pastures are vital to success
full dairying, he says, since pastur-
age promotes health and also furn-
ishes nutrients at low cost but good
pastures must be cultivated on good
soil.
If good soil canot be found for the
pasture, he adds, the dairyman
should build up the soil with legumes
and crop rotations until it is a fer
tile condition.
Early in February is the time to
prepare for planting new permanent
pastures. Pulverize the soil to depth
of three inches. A disk harrow will
usually do the work, Arey points out.
The seed should be sown between
February Is and March Is. No cattle
should be allowed to Craze on the
grass until it has become well sodded
and reached a height of at least four
inches.
Arey recommends the following
mixtures per acre for pastures on
various types of soil in different Sec
tions of the State:
Coastal plain. Fertile loamy soils:
Carpet grass 10 pounds, Dallis Grass
5 pounds, Kentucky blue grass
pounds, Redtop pounds, White
Clover 8 pounds and lespedeza IL
pounds. Moist sandy soils: carpet
grass 10, Dallis grass 5, and lespe-
deza Is pounds. Dry sandy soils:
Dallis grass S and lespedeza Is
pounds. Dry sandy soils: Dallis grass
5 and lespedeza Is pounds.
Piedmont. Fertile well d rain d
soils: Kentucky blue grass 4, Redtop
0, orchard grass 3, tall oat grass a,
Dallis grass 4, White Clover 5, Alsike
Clover 2, and lespedeza pounds.
Fertile moist soils: Kentucky blue
grass A, Redtop S, Orchard Grass 3,
Dallis Grass a, White Clover 5, and
lespedeza 10 pounds.
Mountain section. Fertile we'll
drained soils: Kentucky blue grass
5, Redtop 5, Orchard Grass 8, tall
oat grass 8, timothy 5, White Clover
2, Alsike Glover 2, and lespedeza 5
pounds. Moist fertile soils: Kentucky
