Rural Living
(Continued from page 1)
livestock much labor and money
Soils here are also suitable for the
growing of a great variety of
crops and respond well to good
management. Timber is a very
valuable crop on a large acreage!1
and receives considerable attention, 1
from farmers and others realizing <
the great importance of the wood-| i
lands. | |
Nature has been very generous; (
to Jackson county and great prog
ress has been made along agri-| 1
cultural lines within the last fewj'
years. However, the natural ad-j I
vantages are so great that still i
greater progress in the broad!(
field of agriculture may be ex-'
pected. Strawberries and other
small fruits as well as vegetables- 1
of all kinds are being grown more! 1
and more and will increase very. <
I rapidly within the near future, j i
! Our farmers now realize the im-| ,
j portance of good hay and grazing |
| crops and have the "Know How"
Jin pasture building which will1*
I mean a great expansion in dairy- '
j ing as well as other livestock pro-: I
j duction including poultry. Live- i
j stock and livestock products will (
; soon play a much greater part in !
the life of Jackson county.
FARMERS SEE
.(Continued from page 1) ; 1
clover and 12 pounds of orchard <
1 grass per acre, seeded from now <
until the last of September on land (
that has been limed, well fertiliz-1 ,
ed, and prepared for seeding, will
furnish more grazing than any
crop that has ever been tried in
this county. . ? I (
A temporary winter grazing j |
crop is also most important to ( ^
maintain the milk flow in dairy
cattle and body weight on beef
cattle. Rye seeded heavy or a mix- i 1
ture of small grain consisting of1 ^
wheat, letoria winter oats, and I (
sunrise barley, if seeded heavy
will furnish excellent grazing and
cut feed cost almost in half.
When seeding a ,small grain or
a mixture of small grains, a good
seed bed should be prepared and
at least 500 pounds of high grade
fertilizer applied per acre. A
heavy seeding is necessary so that
a sod will be formed to help pre
vent damage to the soil when graz.
;ng in wet weather.
