The grasses and clover usually sown in pasture mixtures require a soil well supplied with organic matter and lime, as well as plant focd. **A good way to prepare for this pasture and to provide the organic matter is to grow soy beans on the land this summer, says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist for the State College of Agriculture. "Under favorable conditions soybean will make a big growth, and incidentally gather from the air tbout ten dollars worth of nitrogen for each ton of dry wcaght. The sty beans should be turned under thrs fall at least twfcr weeks before sowing the grass. If the growth Is too rank to turn under well, the crop may he partly hogged off. A good double discing will help to put it in condition to turn well. Do not cut the beans for hay. After breaking, harrcw the land frequently until time to sow the grass. The best date for sowing the pasture in thi- ?tate is* from September 1 to 15. in the piedmont section and from September 15 to October 1 in the coastal plain region. "Many North Carolina soils are too acid for a good pasture without liming. The amount usually n? edetf is one to two tons oors The Touring Car ?2&5 F. O. B. Detroit [!
