Green Pastures
Plan Attracts
$500 Farmers

Grassland farming in Ken
lucky doesn't stop at bluegrass
IN fact, it only begins with this
crop that has made the state
famous.
More than 1900 Kentucky far
mers, from all but two of the
states l20 counties, this year
are enrolled in a green pas
lures" program designed to
prove that well-managed pas
lures of grasses and legumes
means "greenbacks" for the far
merS.
Reporting on the Kentucky
program, D. r. Dodd, extension
agronomist at Ohio State Uni
Versity says, Kentucky, as
other states of the middle west,
has millions of acres in grass
that are contributing little to the
farm income. These acres are
capable of producing several
times the profits now obtained,
and with low investment of ex-
ira time and money"
While in Kentucky on his
tour of grassland farming in II
states, Dodd visited many farms
where the operators are turning
to grass and legumes.
He tells of one farmer, w. M.
Cornwell, of near Franklin, who
used to farm 200 acres, but is
now concentrating on 35 acres.
He has only 18 cows, but hopes
In two years to build up his soil
SO it will carry 35 head.
AT present, Cornwell is pro-
ducing about 10000 pounds of
milk per month on an intensive
ly fertilized pasture established
on worn-out land. His seed mix
ture was 20 pounds of Kentucky
81 fescue, 20 pounds of sweet
clover, l pound of ladino clover
and A pounds of Kobe lespedeza.
Cornwell applies between 500
and 1000 pounds of fertilizer
each year, in addition to using
manure literally.
By following these practices,
Cornwell is producing more net
income each year than most far
mers with $50 acres, Dodd says.
He comments, too, that the
farms that appear to be making
the most money in the gently
rolling land, with rather heavy
soils, are those where the en-
phasis has been shifted to grass
and high soil productivity lev
ell.

New Rat Killer
Now Available

Madison, Wisconsin-A new rat

of the safest from the human
standpoint and one which holds
promise of wiping out rodent col

ager.
Warfarin's effectiveness will
make it of great value for use
on farms and in restaurants,
warehouses and manufacturing
establishments. Other poisons Kill
SO rapidly that dead and dying
rats serve as warning to the
rest of the colony. Tasteless and
odorless Warfarin, however, is
sloW-acting and relies upon the
cumulative effects of small guam
titles consumed over a period OF
days.
Poisoned rats show no immedi-
ate effects. They eventually be-
come drowsy, and begin to walk
with a slow and measured gait.
Finally, without suffering, they
die of internal hemorrhage. Other
rats are not warned of the poison
there is no dash for water, there
are no convulsions and the bait
then remains to keep stray rats
from again populating the area.
One major advantage of War
farm rodenticides is their relative
safety. Since they rely upon Gu
mulative doses for results, there
is little chance that enough bait
will be taken by humans, pets,
or domestic animals to cause ad-
verse effects. Out of the several
hundred nationwide tests made on
Warfarin, no case of accidental
human poisoning was reported.
