SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
By JAMES H. GfUfTTK. SaD Cl—Wmttadt
: Do you need grazing for your
cattle in mid-summer? Who
doesn’t, if they have a herd
of cattle to feed and no summer
pasture.
t Marvin Evans of Eden ton had
iteard a lot about Coastal Ber
muda grass but had not tried it
.until two years ago. He decided
to try one acre for his ponies.
He selected the poorest land he
had for it. Mr. Evans said he
had never seen grass grow in
this deep sand (Lakeland Loamy
fine sand). The first year, he
grazed his ponies and mowed
hay for the winter.
Fahey and Carroll Byrum erf
Edenton are planning to estab
lish three acres of Coastal Ber
muda grass pasture this spring
on their Churchill Farm. This
will be used for grazing and as
a source of supply for future
plantings. Their Conservation
Farm Plan includes 10 acres
more to be established in 1962.
The plan includes 20 acres of
fescue ladino-clover to be seed
ed in the fall of 1060 and 1961.
R. C. Ward, Ryland has six
acres of Coastal Bermuda gra's
pasture planned in his conserva
tion farm plan with the Albe
marle Soil Conservation District.
Mr. Ward has tried ladino-clover
fescue seedings several times
and each time failed. The soils
are deep sands (Lakeland sand
and Klej sands). In preparing
his conservation farm plan, land
capability was explained. Im
mediately, he realized that he
had been using this six acres
within its capability. He p’an
ned a Coastal Bermuda grass
pasture in his plan.
Coastal Bermuda grass makes
a . good sod for a grass wa’er
way. Jimmie Parrish of Eden
ton has planned in his conserva
tion farm plan with the district
grass waterways using Coastal
Bermuda grass. George Lewis,
farm consultant with the Peo
ples Bank & Trust Company, has
planned to use it for a grass
waterway on the E. L. Ward
estate at Edenton.
W. A. Twine of Tyner has
planned to use Coastal Bermuda
grass for a grassed waterway
on his farm. He has conserva
tion farm plan No. 96 with the
Albemarle Soil Conservation
District. He constructed an
open ditch in December. 1959.
which was almost destroyed be
cause of surface water. A grass
ed waterway. us : ng the grass,
will be established on March
23. This will protect the ODen
ditch and remove the surface

Coastal Bermuda grass stolons
or sprigs will be for sale on
March 23 and March ’3o at the
Frank Wilson Farm at Tarboro.
If either of these days are rainy
riggings will be made on April
6th. Cost of these stolons will
he about $7 per acre F. 0.8. at ■
I Tarboro. A pickup truck will !
! bring back enough plants fori
3 to 5 acres.
The best way to establish a
stand of Coastal Bermuda grass
is to apply lime as indicated byj
soil test, usually about one ton;
per acre, work this into the'
plow layer. Apply 500-800
pounds of 0-14-14 or 0-10-20 in
rows at the time of planting.:
Apply 40-50 pounds of Nitrogen *
per acre directly on plants as
soon as growth starts. At mid
summer (July) broadcast an ad
ditional 80-100 pounds of Nitro-.
gen per acre.
Plant in rows 3 to 4 feet'
apart and 2 to 3 feet in the row.
This takes about 10-15 bushels'
per acre. Drop sprigs (roots);
in a furrow and cover with disk,
light plow or row cultivator.
Run tractor wheel on the row
after planting to firm the soil
around the sprigs. Leave end ;
of sprig above the ground in aj
furrow.
Another method of planting is
to broadcast 50-75 bushels per
acre and cover with disk or light
plow. Finn soil around the!
sprigs with cultipacker or with
other means.
Coastal Bcnnuda grass is suit
ed to well-drained soils. It willj
make very good growth on deep,
sandy soils, such as Lakeland
and Galestown.
Tests indicate that by using
200 lbs. of nitrogen per acre
n split application, a yield can
be expected of 9,000 pounds cf
dry matter per acre and 309
cow-days of grazing from early
April through November. In
T.N.D. (Total Diges ible Nutri
ents) it will yield 4950. It will
out-yield most cf our present*
pasture plants and will furnish
grazing for your cattle in mid
summer when Fescue-Ladino
Clover Dastures are at their low--
est in grazing. Coas’al Ber
muda grass pasture works well
with Fescue-Ladino clover pas
tures . , . making a balance
pasture program. ,
Other summer grazing crons
are Seneca Lespedeza. Bahia
grass. Sudan grass and millet. f
Scricea and bahia grass are suit
ed to deep sandy soils but will,
grow better on more fertile so>R.
They, will furnish about 138
cow-days of grazing from April

Miliet and Sudan grass are an
nual grazing crops. Yields are
very good producing about 206
i cow-days from May to October
1 15 or first frost using about 60
lbs. of Nitrogen per acre.
T. R. Harrell cf Tyner used
Pearl Millet last summer for
grazing. He broadcast 20 lbs.
I per acre in his truck com at
-he last cultivation. His truck
corn was harvested by July 10
i when he put 19 cattle in poor or
[ thin condition on 4.5 acres. He
i removed the 19 cattle on Sep
t tember 20 in fat condition.
1 They had gleaned his truck corn
j and grazed Pea; 1 millet all this
time leaving plenty of millet
f still in the field. Mr. Harrell
had a Ladino Clover pasture]
nearby and left the gate openj
one morning io see if me cattle
would graze the clover. He says
- that they went to the Ladino
clover but immediately, left the
clover and "'em back to grazing
the Pearl Miliet. This convinced j
hm that the millet was doing!
| the job. He says the millet, fits
; into his farming operation.
Truck corn first, summer graz
ing from July to October. He,
is a district cooperator of the-
Albemarle Soil Conservation;

farm. His conservation farm[
plan is No. 583 in Chowan-
