PAGE SIX Improvement On Chowan Pastures Now Being Set Up / More and Better Species Os Grass and Legumes Are Being Tried Out Plans have been set up on several j farms recently which include, among! other practices, that of pasture es tablishment or pasture improvement, according to R. C. Jordan, soil con servationist. Observations indicate that many farmers of Chowan Coun- ( ty are definitely interested in getting better land use from land assigned to pasture. More and better species of grasses and legumes are being tried out. Better methods of pasture fer tilization and pasture management are being employed. One new grass which seems to of fer much as an all-year grass is be ing used by several farmers on a seed-increase basis. Last year, J. Bertram Hollowell of the Cross Roads area planted two and one-half acres to be used for seed harvest. Hi 3 plot was seeded last October with the assistance of Soil Conservation Ser vice technicians and has, as states Mr. Hollowell, “been green ever since it came up.” In June of 1947 Mr. Hollowell harvested his first seed crop of possibly 300 pounds. After re paying the original allotment of seed to Soil Conservation Service and af ter seeding additional pasture acres for his own use, Mr. Hollowell will probably have a small quantity for distribution. Mr. Hollowell has built up much enthusiasm for this new Dine and Dance ] at the : American Legion Hut Friday, Saturday, Sunday 7aylortheatre| EDENTON, N. C.

In addition to seeding what pasture acreage his time will permit this fall, he plane' to maintain and ’ keep his seed-increase plot for an other year. His second-year seed yields should be much better. Kentucky 31 Fescue was first dis covered and developed in Kentucky. Kentucky farmers are very enthusi astic about it and expect it to supple ment their own Kentucky bluegrass. Many of them are growing it on a large scale for seed increase. Tech nical specification! of this grass run like this: It is a bunch grass, grow ing similarly to orchard grass. It is quite a bit coarser than bluegrass and i has a distinctive light-green color. • The seeds are a bit larger than those of orchard grass, and are easily har vested. Seed yields are relatively high, about 300 pounds an acre on the average, although as high as 800 i pounds have been harvested from ex ceptionally good stands. When seed ed in late summer it-provides a fair cover for the winter. The grass de velops a good sod, which persists for many years. It has an' extensive and deep root system, which makes it useful for erosion and gully control, and for sodded water outlets. Yet it does not become a weed pest, as it is .easily plowed up and destroyed. It grows exceptionally well on wet land—in fact one of its favorite habitats is along drainage ditches— and can survive long period of over flow. Yet, it also grows well on dry soils and soils of low fertility, al though not as luxuriantly as where moisture is plentiful. It is relished by all kinds of livestock and poultry. Perhaps most striking, it grows through most of the year, even in the mountains. Finally, Kentucky 31 Fescue appears to have wide adapt ability, as good reports have been re ceived from test plots in many South ern States. Carroll Eyrum, Fay Byrum and R. C. Holland plan to plant seed-increase plots of this all-year grass as soon as weather conditions permit. In the seeding and production of this grass, which is new in this county, these farmers will be assisted by R. C. Jor dan, Chowan Soil Conservationist. Mr. Jordan states that much more' widespread production of the Ken tucky 31 Fescue is expected when seed supplies become available. Methodist Society Meets With Mrs. P. T. Owens The Woman’s Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church met Tuesday night of last week at the home of Mrs. P. T. Owens with the president, Mrs. G. A. Helms, presid ing.
