In fact, it will pos sibly help it since it has matted down and disease may injure the mixture. • H. M. Olive of New Hill has several acres of rye tall enough now to graze. This rye follows to bacco. Mr. Olive says his pasture is grazed very closely and, con sequently, will receive very little grazing during the winter months if it is as cold as it was last year. This field of rye should relieve and save his permanent pasture from being overgrazed. • Joe Tippett of Zebulon ays he plans to feed his stock rather than overgraze his new pastures and year old pastures. An overgrazed pasture does not furnish more than one half as much grazing as if cat tie were kept off a portion of the i time so that the grass will be about three to four inches tall at all times. An overgrazed pasture is hardly more than an exercising lot with the cattle damaging the plants by walking over them. Therefore, one should keep cattle off of permanent pastures this fall and winter, es pecially when the ground is wet.
