Good management of permanent pastures increases the amount of grazing on a given area of land! and increases the protein content] of the feed, resulting in larger total ' gains of beef or milk per aero. Extension specialists at State College suggest four major points ir work ng for better pasture 1 management. First, the pasture sh.-uld no: be grazed too early in the spring, not until the grasses: have made a growth of about 6 to 8 inches and firmly established themselves. Second, overgrazing of the pas- , tures. especially during long dry periods in summer, reduces the total amount of grazing. Such tempora y grazing crops as soy- i beans, cow peas, and Sudan grass' can be used to bridge over the 1 dry periods when grasses become I tough and low in grazing value. Kr.dzu is an t her good crop for , this period. Third, keep down weeds by two or three mowings of the pasture during the summer months. Weeds reduce the yield of grasses and compete with them for water dur ing the dry periods. Fourth, fertilize the pastures so as to stimulate the growth of le gumes and grasses and increase the total amoun: of (-razing. When legumes are included :n the perma nent pasture seed ng mixtures, they help to produce more grass. Permanent pastures and temp orary grazing crops, where the animals themselves gather their own feed, are furnishing much cheaper feed than ordinal y feed crops and should be included on even the smallest farm, the Ex tension specialists say. Two series of temporary grazing crops are need: one seeded about Septem ber 1 for fall and winter grazing, and one fur summer grazing, round cut the program. I. B. IU DSON IS ROTARY SPEAKER ANDREWS ?
