wonder how Mrs. Farris turns out

Americans now in kermanshah
would like to get the Iranian cook

to help her husband in his teaching

ing as chairman of this project.
The office of Defense Mobiliza-

of paralysis in polio.
This is added to the blood
quotas to save the lives of our

The expanded blood program
makes it vitality necessary that

Pastures Must Be
Reseeded For Grazing
During Summer
Lespedezo Is Only
Sure Plant To Use
At This Time
By A. p. Carroll
BY A. p. Carroll
Soil Conservvationist

Due to the long drought last
summer and fall, many of the pas
ture plants, especially the lespe-
IDEAS, failed to make seed to as
sure a stand this spring. There
fore, it is going to be necessary
that the pastures be reseeded if
you expect to get the best graz
ing this summer.
Lespedeza will be the only sure
plant that can be seeded this late.
White clover can be seeded on
the best bottom land and you
can expect some grazing, provid-
ed the land is we'll fortified. The
lespedeza seed are scarce and you
should purchase what you need
as soon as possible. Many of the
farmers cooperating with Holmes
County Soil Conservation District,
have already purchased the "a
mount they expect to plant. The
price has advanced SIS to Sc per
hundred pounds during the past
thirty days. The common and
kobe lespedeza is the best for
grazing as it will last all summer
if there is sufficient moisture. The
korean will grow off fast and
furnish early grazing but it will
die in late July or early August.
Under all conditions l think it
will pay you to purchase the
kobe for pasture, common is not
! available. The korean can be
used for hay provided it is cut
early.
In planting the lespedeza l
think you should first plant the
areas in the pastures where there
is no bermuda, or carpet grass,
then if you have the seed plan.
areas where the grasses are the
thinnest. Lespedeza does not do as
we'll in grass as in areas where
the competition is less.
Every effort should be made to
fertilize pastures this spring for
the plants took real punishment
from being overgrazed last sum-
mer and fall. The fertilizer will
always be best to apply mixed
fertilizer; however, this is not al
ways possible. Therefore, you
should apply what you have OF
can get. From observations of pas
lures in the county that have had
| different kinds of fertilizers ap-
| piled over hong time program,
phosphate has paid off more than
any of the others considering cost
to the farmer. Nitrogen will make
quicker growth and furnish more
grazing for short period of time
but the availability and price
may prohibit its use. The clovers
are heavy users of potash and in
pastures where it is being grown
| you will probably need good
application for the clovers to
| give best grazing. Nitrogen will
do much to assist the grasses
back to their natural vigor.
Bermuda grass was our best
plant last summer and stood up
better than any of the others.
We should not forget this fact
and do everything possible to
encourage it to grow.
Contact your seed dealer and
purchase the lespedeza seed you
will need as soon as possible.
