you can see the hoof of a cow
standing in the pasture.
10. Those of you who have an
old carpet grass pasture can turn
this into profitable pasture by
cutting it several times right away
with d heavy cutaway or bush and
Dog harrow. How about taking half
of it now and the other half nett
summer?
II. In order to have some good
grazing this winter and early next
spring, you will find it profitable to
plant an acre or two to rye grass;
fertilizer with 500 pounds of PIP
IL, and if necessary, you can top
dress later with a nitrate material.
This will keep you from being
tempted to Craze your Ladino Fes-
cue too early. Get your purchase
order for fertilizer now.
Let's begin now to prepare to
feed out all the livestock that our
farms can furnish feed for. We
may not be confronted with quotas
IN practically everything we pro-
duce for sale on our farms within
the next few years, including live
stock. Let's establish a good base
now by first getting pastures and
then adding enough. livestock to.
consume all the feed we can pro-,
luce. We have some farmers in the
county whose records show that
they have Melted more than $4,000
per acre from their pastures.
1t is hoped that every farmer in
Columbus County will adopt the
slogan, Keep Columbus County
Green" this winter for grazing and
next summer for low cost feeding.
