PAGE TWO Pastures Deserve Good Attention R. C. Jordan Says Ap propriate Time to Plan Real Pastures R. C. JORDAN Soil Conservation Service “This week we’re going to dwell on the management of new pastures. And if the subject seems to be a little ahead of season, you can blame the weather. It’s been a little ahead of season, too. We’re thinking about the pastures seeded last fall. Most of them have been growing to beat the band. They just can’t help it. Not with all that fertilizer underneath and all the nice weather we’ve been having. Things are right for the making of some real pastures here in Cho wan County. And real pastures they’ll be, too, if things are handled right. That’s where this management busi ness comes in. We don’t want to graze our new pas tures too soon nor too much. Why? That’s a good question. It always is. Most of you know how a cow goes about this business of grazing. Since she has no upper teeth in the front of her mouth, she can’t bite the grass and clover off. She uses her tongue and the lower teeth and more or less pulls until something gives. If the pasture is grazed too soon, the something that will give will he the whole plant, roots and all. And there will go part of your pasture. So we have to watch out for that angle, Let the roots take a good hold before the cow starts pulling away. There’s another angle too. Let’s watch out for the Piney Woods root ers. Those hogs should have their noses adorned with rings or else some of the grass and clover which we have so zealously seeded will be 1 placed in the role of displaced persons. And that brings us to an even more important side of the picture. Since we’re dealing largely with ladino clover and fescue grass, let’s take a closer look at the two gentlemen: Both are what we call perennials. That’s a good thirty-five cent word, meaning that they live on for sever al years. The plants that do their living and dying in one year are an nuals. Well, most perennials sort of take their time about getting started in v for Less Money f .1 (G^KELVINATORy rwsm Gtfcß** 7 ' fl |^r^ ro » my Frozer^ f “ Vr"! 7 cubic feel of roum ( feeiurJA i ■ ! * g *^ ' " [V’ quality!

They seem to know that they’ll be around again next year, that there’s no particular rush about things. Ladino and fescue are like that. Yet‘ there’s something else about them that sort of gets them in trouble at times. Even when they’re just half-groWh, so to speak, they look as ready for grazing as most other grasses at any time. And it’s too early grazing that brings on the trouble. Root systems are stunted. As dry weather comes on, the stunted roots just can’t do the job. Pastures fail. And it’s bad. But don’t blame the young ladino and fes cue. That would be like blaming a boy for not doing a man-sized job. When to start grazing? That’s an other good question. Most of us will say never while the pasture is less than six inches high. Others of us hold out for twelve inch es. Still others say not to graze any during the first year. All of us agree that the less grazing the first year, the better. That kind of pasture man agement pays off in the years to come. Let’s not forget the rotation scheme of grazing. This plan allows a part of the pasture to rest and grow while another part is being used. William B. Shepard, “Zell” Ward, Leonard Bass, Lewis Goodwin, David Goodwin, and Oliver Forehand, all S. C. S. co operators, and others, are grazing their pastures this way. Rotation grazing means fewer “grazed out” pastures.

J HIM. “The threat of infantile paralysis tas each summer approaches is of particular concern to the schools of this nation,” Dr. McGrath said in a , ; statement just received by McGhee. j > “Educators, as well as parents, 1 - want more factual knowledge about i 1 the disease and the procedures to fol ' low when it occurs. 'Such informs- ! tion is contained in ’A Message About 1 Polio’, which has the hearty approval ) of school administrators. 1 “The reliable data in the leaflet, the ! Common-sense precautions, the as ; surance of medical care will bolster morale should epidemics occur. Fear 1 can be as infectious as polio itself and • as harmful, unless people are given ■ the guidance and reassurance they need. If the National Foundation’s 1 leaflet is given every pupil to take • home,” concluded Dr. McGrath, “I believe there will be far less anxiety and confusion about this disease.” 1- ... Bonner Votes For Cut In Foreign Aid ‘ Congressman Herbert C. Bonner voted to reduce foreign economic as -1 sistance by one-quarter billion dol lars. I The bill passed the House by a two . vote margin. Mr. Bonner’s action in voting for re ' duced expenditures abroad was in ac cord with statements he made in pub ' lie speeches and in letters to con stituents following his return from Europe last year. “While in Europe we saw the op portunity to reduce appropriations for Marshal Plan Assistance,” Mr. Bonner explained. “I am convinced,” he de ■ dared, “that the countries of Europe ■ are in a position now to help them : selves more than they are doing.” i He said that the action of the ; House was in keeping with “curtail ments in domestic appropriations.” TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED AD Officers Find 448 Trucks Overloaded In February Os 8,500 trucks stopped by inspect ors of the Theft Bureau during Feb ruary, 448 were found to be over loaded, the North Oarolirja Depart ment of Motor Vehicles has reported.
