IMPROVEMENT
OF PASTURES
SEEN AS VITAL
Macon County farmers can
step up milk production, reduce
feed costs, and conserve soli and
water resources by carrying out
the pasture Improvement prac
tices emphasized In the 1952
agricultural conservation pro
gram, J. H. Enloe, Jr., chairman
of the county Production Man
agement administration, pointed
out this week.
In general, he said, about 38
per cent of all feed consumed
by dairy cattle now comes from
pasture crops, but he empha
sized that a far smaller amount
of concentrated feed would be
needed to feed the animals If
more pasture improving conser
vation practices were carried
out.
The chairman suggest that
farmers tour their land and de
termine conservation needs, ask
ing themselves these questions:
Are pastures producing as well
as well as they should? Are
weeds taking over? Should old
pastures be plowed up and new
ones established? What grass
and legume mixture would be
best? Will lime and phosphate
increase productlona How can
the agricultural program help
in getting the most needed Job
done?
Once the checkup is made,
Mr. Enloe suggested a visit to
the local P. M. A. office in the
Agricultural building to help
iron out any problems concern
ing answers to the questions.
Until further notice, the local
office will be closed on Satur
days, Mrs. Mary B. Justice, sec
retary, announced this week. In
the past the office has operat
ed on a six-day schedule.
