CONSERVATION NOTES
BY A.P. CARROLL

On recent visits to several of the
stock ponds which have been con-
structed a year or longer we have
found that most of these have young
willows growing all around the ed
ges of the water. 1t is very undesir-
able to have them around a pond
and especially growing on the dam.
The roots will grow through the dam
and cause a leak. We have known OF
pond dams washing out due to these
leaks. These willows al be pulled
up very easily at present, however,
if they are allowed to grow until
they will have to be cut it will al
most be impossible to kill them out.
H.B. Maxwell has clipped some Of
his pastures. He states that due to
the excessive rains during the spr-
ing and summer the grass is much
larger than normally, and is tough.
When it is clipped new grass will
grow out which is higher in feed
value, more palatable, and will
cause the cattle to gain faster;espec-
tally the younger cattle.
He is trying to get all of his past
ures clipped while there is still
plenty of moisture in the ground so
that the grass will grow out faster.
Also he cuts the weeds before they
make a seed crop.
Several farmers are planting wild
winter peas in their cotton during
the last cultivation. HIP. Watson,
one of the District Commissioners,
states that early planting of the peas
will cause them to come up earlier
in the fall and give a better growth
and they can be grazed earlier.
It has been stated that cotton seed
meal is going to be scare this fall.
Therefore all cattle farmers should
arrange to plant crops for winter
grazing. It is important to plant
them early. Oats, Crimson clover,
and will winter peas have proven
