GOOD PASTURES
PROFITABLE
Good pastures conserve
soil and water, reduce live
stock-production costs, and
when operated in rotation
with cultivated crops result
in larger crop yields, says
the War Food Administra
tion. Pasture establishment
and improvement practices
become especially impor
tant in meeting wartime
food and fiber needs. As
sistance in carrying out
such practices is available
to American farmers in
most States under the con
servation program adminis
tered by the Agricultural
Adjustment Agency,
Soil is protected in sever
al ways by productive pas
tures, WFA points out. Ex
cellent insurance against
erosion and loss of moisture
is provided by the thick sod
or cover while it is being
grazed, and when turned
under it acts to reduce ero
sion losses while the land
is being tilled. The sod also
makes the soil more pro
ductive when it is broken to
grow crops in rotation.
Higher carrying capacity of
good pasture increases the
farmer’s income by making (
supplemental feed from ;
cultivated land less neces- ‘
sary. In addition, much less '
labor, power,, equipment, (
seed, and fertilizer is re
quired to operate land in (
grass and legumes than in
cultivated crops.
Good pasture practices
include reseeding of deplet
ed land and planting of !
new pasture, contouring ,
weed control by mowing or,
clipping, application of lime
and phosphate, stockwater,
developments, and a season
long system for preventing
overgrazing. When plowing,
and reseeding are neces
sary, or when new land is!
being opened up for seed
ing to pasture, says WFA,
fertilizer and lime should
be applied before the seed
is sown. In most areas, poor,
pastures can be renovated
by disking, liming, fertiliz
ing, and seeding more pro
ductive grasses and legum
es.
_ jyegumes retsurn nitrd
gen to the pastureland, and
under average conditions
they should form about
one-third of the planting,
Government studies show.
Mixtures of grasses and
legumes produce one-third
• to one-half more pasture
feed than grasses alone. In
addition, it is pointed out,
reseeding a pasture with
legumes and supplementary
grasses aids in erosiom con
trol by filling in bare spots
in the turf, and tends to
lengthen the pasture* sea
son. i
Conditions under which
pasture grows vary not on
ly from State to State and
county to county, but even
from farm to farm and field
tofield. The kinds and amo
unts of fertilizer, lime, and
eeed that should be used,
and the farming methods
best suited to the land, vary
in the same manner, says
WFA.

| “In January 1944, out of
the thousands of inductees
processed in the Fourth
Service Command, only 1
out of every 148 were par-
I tidpating, while in August,
10 out of, every 13 men in
' ducted are alloting part of
their pay for war bonds,”
stated Lt. A. W. Smith, Jr.,
Fourth Service Command
War Bond and Insurance
Officer. “An interesting
, feature of this is that al
! though there were several
thousand less men process
ed in August than in Janu
ary, the average amount of
the allotment has increased
over two dollars a month
per man.
“It is reasonable to pre
sume that with the issuance
of the new $7.50 GI bond
which went on sale in Sep
tember that there will be
even heavier buying l of
bonds in the succeeding
months.”
Snakes are seldom killed

: were used for reseeding
compared with 195,000
