poor native grasses, such as poverty
grass and broomsedge, produce less feed,
and feed of poor quality, but the sod in
many cases gets so thin the soil washes
badly and the loss in fertility increases
rapidly,
Unfortunately, in many cases, pas
lures get so poor due to the loss of fer
tility and top soil by erosion before any
thing is done that Improvement may no
longer be practicable. If our pastures
are to remain our greatest agricultural
asset, improvement must be undertaken
before it is too late.
Experiments Point Way
For more than IL years the West
Virginia Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton has been conducting experiments to
find out how pastures can be economi-
cally improved. These studies have been
made ON different kinds of soil in diff
ferent parts of the state. Near Wardens-
vile in Hardy county, at the Rcymann
Memorial Farms, large field of 40
acres was divided and fenced into eight
pastures which received different lime
and fertilizer treatments in 1881 and
1888. These pastures were stocked with
dairy cows the first year and with dairy
heifers since that time. A careful record
has been kept of the milk produced, the
gains in weight of the animals, and the
number of pasture days furnished by
each pasture.
Two of the eight plots were untreated
to serve as checks on results. All of the
other plots were lined as shown to be

on livestock farms is made while the
animals are on pasture.
In spite of its importance, no farm
crop has been more neglected than pas
lures. 1t does not seem to be realized
that pastures, like any other crop, can
produce only in proportion to the quail
ity or fertility of the soil. 1t is a mistaken
notion that pastures are sufficiently en-
riched by the droppings of cattle, and
due to the fact that often no treatment
is ever given to the soil to return some
of the fertility that has been removed
in the milk or animals sold, many pas
lures are rapidly being depleted of fer
tility and are getting poorer and poorer.
While in general, farmers have not
given much thought to the pasture prob
lem, many farmers in the last few years
have noticed that their pastures are NOT
supporting the number of cattle they for
merly did. In survey of pasture condi-
tions in West Virginia in 1895 more
than half the farmers in one area stated
that their pastures were considerably
poorer than they were five to ten years
ago.
Bluegrass Disappears
A careful study of the kind of pas
ture on forty farms in this area showed
that the bluegrass which was once con-
sidered the pride of the stock farmers
of the area had largely disappeared. Less
than 20 per cent of the vegetation in the
pastures was bluegrass, and an average
of 48 acres was required to pasture
i,ooo-pound animal.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1936-04-10

1t is evident that the
livestock industry cannot
long remain profitable in
such an area, unless steps
are taken to improve the
pastures. As the soil gets
poorer, the bluegrass dis
appears and weeds and
poor native grasses come
in. Not only do these

Pasture Improvement
Pays Big Dividends

GOOD pasture is the
~ foundation of a prof
liable livestock industry.
1t is well known among
livestockmen that the cost
of gains produced on grain
is several times higher
than the cost of gains pro-
duced on pasture. For that
reason much of the profit
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1936-04-10

needed by soil test, and 500 pounds of
20 per cent superphosphate applied per
acre in 1891 and 1888. In addition, four
plots had 100 pounds of muriatc of pot
ash per acre at both treatments. Two
of these four plots also had 200 pounds
of nitrate of soda applied each year
half in April and half in July.
The area receiving lime and super
phosphate only furnished 1871 days of
pasture per acre as compared to SO days
for the check plots, and the animals
gained 2o4 pounds on an acre basis as
compared to I4o ~ pounds on the UNI
treated area, The pasture on the area
receiving this treatment produced an
average of 1887 pounds of digestible nu-
trients per acre as compared to 854
pounds for the untreated land. On two
plots receiving lime, phosphorus, and pot
ash, the number of days of pasture pro-
vided was increased to I42 IL, the aver
age animal gain per acre to 257 IL
pounds, and the average number of
pounds of digestibl nutrients per acre
to 1871 pounds. The addition of nitro
gen to the lime, phosphorus, and potash,
on the other two plots further increased
the number of days of pasture provided
to I6o, the average gain of the animals
to 267 pounds, and the average amount
of digestible nutrients produced per acre
to I,743 pounds.
These results together with similar re-
suits obtained in other pasture expert
mcnts point the way to a sound pasture
improvement program.
Phosphorus, Lime Needed
Phosphorus has been found TO be the
greatest need of pasture soils in West
Virginia with lime close second. This
condition is not surprising, because there
has been large loss of lime and phos-
phorus from pasture soil through the
sale of milk animals. Since in most cases
lime and phosphorus are both necessary,
application of one without the other does
not give nearly as great or as economical
returns as when both are applied to-
gether The application of one or the
other by itself may be of little value.
In experiments, the use of lime alone
on pastures gave only relatively small
benefits, but the combination of lime and
superphosphate increased yields from SO
per cent on one of the better soils to
more than 100 per cent (more than
doubling the yield) on a less fertile soil
Manure is very beneficial in improv-
ing pastures, Unfortunately, manure pro-
duced on the farm is usually all needed
for the crop land. Since manure is low
in phosphorus it should be supplemented
with about 40 pounds of superphosphate
per ton when applied to pastures.
Benefits Last Years
Increased yield is only one benefit that
results from pasture fertilization and
lining. If applications of superphosphate
and lime merely increased the growth,
little would be gained. The main benefit
from applying lime and phosphorus to
pasture land is that the fertility of the
soil is increased so that bluegrass and
clover can come back into the sod, fill
up the bare spaces, and crowd out weeds
and poor native grasses.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1936-04-10

The second year after an experiment
was started on poor Dekalb soil at Nor
gantown it was found that the plots
which received lime and superphosphate
contained 81 per cent of bluegrass and
clover in the pasture sod as compared to
four per cent in the untreated plots. Not
only does bluegrass and clover produce
more growth than weeds and poor native
grasses but the quality of the heritage is
far superior.
Saving In Barn Feeding
The average content of protein in the
heritage from the untreated pasture plots
in 1892 and 1888 was 1913 per cent,
while heritage from plots on which lime
and superphosphate were applied contain
ed 1873 per cent protein. The total pro-
tein produced in the heritage was 90
pounds per acre on untreated plots and
32I pounds on treated plots.
Bluegrass makes an earlier growth in
the Spring than poor native grasses, so
improving pastures by applying lime and
superphosphate provides earlier grazing.
In many cases cattle can be turned OH
improved pastures ten days to two weeks
earlier in the Spring and kept on later
in the Fall than OH untreated pastures.
Pasture improvement not only increases
carrying capacity and provides better
quality grass, but it is also a means to
longer grazing season and large saving
in barn feeding.
Improvement Is Practical
There is little doubt that pasture i'm
provement is practical. 1t is not practical
or economical to attempt to improve all
pasture land. Some is too steep for I'M
provement to be economical. Some is too
droughty or has lost so much of its sur
fale by erosion it is now too late to at
tempt improvement.
Such areas should be protected from
further washing and Outlying by fencing
them off from the rest of the pasture
and putting them back in trees. 1t is
conservative estimate, that on at least
half of the pasture land in West Vir-
ginia and nearby states the judicious use
of lime and superphosphate would be
economical wherever the additional grass
produced can be utilized. In many cases
such treatment will mean an investment
of from So to So an acre, but it is an
investment that will bring high returns.
Some farmers feel they cannot afford
to spend this money on their pastures.
Many farmers, however, do not hesitate
to spend money for high-priced feed or
for renting of additional pasture. If part
of this money were spent for superphos-
phate and lime, the feed bill would be
greatly reduced and within two or three
years it would no longer be necessary to
rent additional pasture land. AT the same
time, the money spent by the farmer in
this manner would be adding TO the value
of his land and would keep his pastures
from getting so poor they could no
longer be improved economically.
1t should be remembered that the eff
feet of treatment often shows up for
many years. Once a good bluegrass and
clover sod is established, it can be kept
in good condition at very low cost.

FOX TERRIER IS
 NOT RELEASED

Ickcsburg, Pa, Feb. 7--(UP)-- Farmers who have worked for three weeks to release Dan, the best fox terrier in Perry county, from deep rock crevice, feared today that he may have frozen to death.
 Those who trudged through deep snow to the crcvice in the Tusca- rora mountains three miles from here said they coul1 not tell whe- ther Dan still was alive. He could not Dc seen, and no sound came from tho crevice.
 Dan, who is ct his best when Q fox seeks refuge in tight places where hounds can't go, chased c fox Into the crevice while hunting with his master on Jan. I7. It took q i2-foot jump to get back out and Dan couldn't make 1t.
 His owner, Roy Dewalt, enlisted friends who helped him in attempts to get the dog by blasting and other means. All efforts have been un- successful and today 1t was feared heavy snowfall would delay further rescue work.
 Food has been pushed into the crevice with 0 long stick and snow would provide enough water foi Dan if he is still alive.
 The six-pound terrier, who car be carried in the pocket of Q hunt. ing coat, is Q favorite with hunters in this vicinity.

PUBLIC OPINION
 KILLED STRIKE
General Strike at Pekin, TII., Had Disgusted All
 Business Trades

Pekin, H., Feb. 7-(U.P.) - The force of public opinion was credited to-day with ending Pekin's general strike in a compromise settlement that was victory for no one. Pekin awoke to-day to find sugar in the coffee and bacon and eggs on the breakfast table. Instead of walking to @ dairy, housewives picked up milk and cream from back porches and confided to ane another that they had all but empty ice boxes when the strike ended.
 Aimed At Police Chief
 The 48 hours of business paraly- sis ended when the Pekin labor as- sembly called of the strike after ofiicials of the American Distilling Company had agreed to keep their plant closed while arbitrating with striking employees. The general strike while in sympathy with the distil- lery workers, had been for the ex- press purpose of forcing the resig- nation of Police Chief Harry Dona- hue whose use of tear gas angered strikers. Labor reserved the right to continue circulating petitions and otherwise working for his discharge. The leaders retreat came after bus-. mess men and others had expressed indignantly their intention of fight ing for normalcy. This was believ- ed to have been the force that end- ed the strike.
 Discrimination Charged
 The distillery workers went on strike, alleging discriminating against union men in favor of mem. bers of Q company union. They de% mand union recognition and arbit- ration of grievances. All was peace- ful until the company attempted to operate with strike-breakers. This brought the disturbances that pro- voked the tear gas that provoked the general strike at 8 Q. m. Tues. day.
