Milk Payments
*
Are Increased
Dairy fa nu t's in Cherokee coun
ty will have benefit of increased
payment rates for milk and but
trrfat production payments dur
ing the current quarter, beginning
July 1. according to H. N. Wells,
chairman. Cherokee County AAA
Committee. These government
payments to milk and butterfat
producers are adjusted quarterly
to reflect changes in production
costs.
The new rates for this county
for milk and butterfat production
in July, August, and September
will be 75 cents per hundred
pounds for milk, and 13 cents per
pound for butterfat. Wells said.
Rates for the quarter just ended
?were 55 cents per hundred pounds
lor milk and 10 cents per pound
for butterfat.
"Dairy farmers here are ask
ing every effort to increase milk
j production." the chairman said.
"Higher payments for production
during the current three-months
period will help offset the extra
production cost.

Four Pointers
For Pasture
Management !
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.
