Coastal bermuda gaining in popularity

For more grazing and bet
ter pastures farmers are be-
ing urged to plant coastal
bermuda grass for Erazing or
hay. Under proper fertiliza-
ton program and manage
ment coastal bermuda, after
being well established, will
produce from three to four
times the amount of grazing
or hay than any other grass
we are using in our pasture
program.
Coastal bermuda has to be
first established on clean
land, free of too many gras-
seS and weeds. 1t has to be
established by setting out Of
StOlens. In order to get the
desired stand we are recon-
mending that you use from
10 to 20 thousand StolenS per
acre, planted on SO or 40 inch
rows.
There are several ways it
can be managed while it is
spreading to cover entire pas
ture area. First, if crab gras-
ses and other grass seem to
come up and grow fast these
grasses can be controlled by
turning your cows into the
area and letting them Craze
the area down close. This
can be done without hurting
the coastal bermuda grass to
any extent.
If weeds tend to be a prob
lem in the area planted to
coastal bermuda it would be
wise to spray the area with
2,4-D to kill the weeds. Do not
allow the weeds to get too
big a head start on you be-
fore using 2,4-D. One pound
or one quart of 2,4-D mixed
in Is to 20 gallons of water
is recommended for spray
ing your coastal bermuda
grass where highly infested
with weeds.
AS soon as your coastal ber-
muda has begun to run and
has runners 3 to 6 inches in
length apply 40 to so units
of nitrogen per acre in order
for you to get faster growth
from your grass.
Coastal bermuda grass can
still be planted up until about
the 10th of May. You can get
help from the ASC. office on
establishing coastal bermuda
to the amount of about 2/3
the cost of setting out your
grass. You can also get as
sistance through the ASC Of
flee for your fertilizer for
coastal bermuda.
We have already planted
approximately 200 acres in
Holmes County during the
past six weeks and expect to
plant another 100 to $50 acres
which has already been ap-
proved.
II interested in planting to
coastal bermuda please come
by the county agents office
and discuss it with us or go
by the ASC office and make
application for assistance on
the area you are going to
plant.

to cut down on the number

long, drawn out baseball
games. He says by his figur-

the bat could bring about the
