Woodhouse explain ed. the whole problem of pasture Improvement might be said to con : ? of two things. The first is the creation of conditions suitable for the best growth ol more desirable ul>nts. Second factor is the estab lishment. under such conditions of these plants in such combinations a< will provide as near as possible un interrupted grazing throughout th. season and at the same time produce high yields of quality herbage In North Carolina, the State Col lege argronomist said, it has been the general practice to use for pas ture areas not so valuable for the production of other crops. This means that one of the principal li miting factors in providing proper conditions for pasture plants is a lark of fertility The first requirement for the growth of grasses is usually nitrogen, an element that may be provided by legumes grown in the same field or by applying farm manures or com merciji fertilizers. Legumes, on the other hand, us I 'tally require more lime, phosphate, and potash than do grasses, bul a-e less dependent upon a good supply if nitrogen.
