Broken down. 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.
