Make preparations for mowing dbver and grass meadows in the early bloom stage to retain the highest feed value. The protein auntent will be more than twice *r, much at this stage as it will after seed starts forming. When you hay feed you pay in propor tion to the protein content. Ashe county farmers would have to 4uy less grain for their dairy twws if more meadows were cut iit June. Pastures should be clipped while the weeds are in bloom. Briars and weeds will cut down 0k grazing capacity of pastures considerably if let alone. This is also a practice you get pay ment for through the AAA Pro gram. If we lime and phosphate cur pastures without mowing the filth we are stopping too short «f the goal in pasture improve ment work. Conservation Farming News By W. O. HOOPER “A man should not have more land than he can properly care for,” said C. G. Mitchell, of Strat ford. To illustrate his point, Mr. Mitchell pointed to an acre and one-half where nothing grazed a few years ago. On this same plot, five sheep, two horses, and seven head of cattle grazed ten days and there was still plenty of white clover left. Three tons of lime and fifteen hundred pounds of slag made the difference. E. B. Halsey drilled grass seed over his old pasture as he applied lime and phosphate. Three times as many cattle can graze two months longer than they could be fore the treatment. Piney Creek farmers were sorry that ill health forced Mr. Halsey to suspend his regular farming operations, but everyone will be pleased to know that he is going to maintain his farm in grass with regular appli cations of lime and phosphate. Commodore Edwards, coopera ting with the New River Soil Conservation District, has prac tically eliminated erosion in a field where clover and grass used to die out too quickly to hold the soil sufficiently. First, a soil test showed Mr. Edwards what was needed for his crops, after which he established a rotation with al ternating strips of corn and clov er. The clover is so thick and vigorous that particles of soil from the corn strips are snared and held to make better yields from now on. J H. Doughton has treated the big meadow behind the Laurel Springs post office and left a check plot revealing grass paler and shorter. Mr. Doughton has not admitted this nor has he ex plained 'the kind and amount of treatment, but the quick response indicates some form of nitrate. Stratford News MRS.
