PERMANENT PASTURE
ON EVERY FARM
( Hy G. W. FALLS I
I (County Farm Agent)
J A good permanent pasture .should
lie on every farm in Pasquotank
j County. In fact, it is the greatest
asset a southern farmer may have,
land a prerequisite to good livestock.
VVt' arp linking f ' ad hel
per live slock for our farms. I!ut,
have we thought about the large
quantity of food needed for the pro
duction. If not. we should consider
Jthis mpst vital problem.
I If you are interested in growing
i livestock, which I am sure vou are,
I . .
.some consideration should ne made
in regard to cost of production.
Livestock, such as hogs, cattle,
i
and sheep, are very high, a 'd will
continue to be high for several years,
due to graet shortage in this and
other countries. But. all feeding ma
terial is high, and are we receiving
the net profit from livestock that we
should have, if not, we should not
he satisfied with Me methods we are
""suing.
No livestock producer can hope to
make his herd renunierative, us It
should be, when fed from the barn.
Therefore, to produce good livestock
with a large margin of profit it is
essential that good grazing be fur
nished, and it Is absurd to think of
growing good livestock without a'
permanent pasture consisting of im- j
. . . '
proved grasses and clovers
Tesas have been made by the De
partment of Agriculture In determin
ing the most advisable mivture for
permanent pastures In Coastal Plain

to give best results:
Forty pounds of mixture per acre.
8 pounds of Red Top; 8 pounds of
Orchard Grass; 8 pounds of Alsyke
Clover; 8 pounds of Italian Rye

pounds Red Clover.
This quantity of seed can be pro
