Profitable Handling of Pasturagé Give Grass Chance to Establish Itself Before Turnin on Stock, Veteran’s Advice BY J. L. JUSTICE R. F. D. 2, Logansport, Ind. VERY farmer who has made or tried to start a pasture will agree that it it not done simply by go- ing out and scattering a lot of seed on the ground. Sowing the seed is only a small part of making and keeping suitable pas- tures. Many fail by ignoring factors that contribute to the successful es- tablishment of pastures, so I wish to call attention to an old friend who has learned the art after a lifetime’s experience on very rolling farm land. He told me once that he took his time starting a pasture, that is, after getting it started, he never turned livestock onto it until he was sure they would not injure it in any way. It is far more advisable to keep the stock' off and give them dry feed or -silage until the grasses have thor- oughly established themselves and be- come sturdy. This may run well into May. The early growth is not so nutritious for livestock and if the plants secure a good start the pasture will yield heavier all through the rest of the season, so nothing is lost’ through late feeding. In his system of utilizing pastures, he follows a plan that is admirable from several angles. He never keeps less than two 10 to 20-acre fields in pasture. Before the war he main- tained three to four fields, and is get- ting back to four fields now. These fields encircle the main farm buildings, with a spacious barnlot in the cen- ter. The pastures connect directly with the barnlot, so that entrance to other fields is either through a pas- ture lot or down a lane. 7| OVERGRAZING WILL RUIN .GOOD PASTURE With an arrangement of this sort he or his workmen or family can see the stock at all times, and as he keeps nearly 200 head of sheep, horses, hogs and cattle it is of great importance to have them in full view when out on pasture. No -complicated system of gates is necessary to handle the stock, and ‘watering is simplified. Stock is quickly handled from the barns, and as easily separated, one kind going to one pasture, another to another. This is especially important when handling pregnant stock all through the year. He believes that more harm is done to pastures by overgrazing than from any other cause. When splendid pas- ture is available there is a great temp- tation to stock it heavily and get the benefit of the grass while you ecan, but after a pasture is eaten down to a certain point he shifts the stock into the mext pasture lot. The rest is sufficient to give the first field a fresh start. It also serves the purpose of help- ing to reseed the pasture, for scme of the pasture grasses that are allowed to make a good growth are certain to go to seed. This is counted sufficient to maintain the grasses, as he seldom has to sow fresh seed; in fact, in two fields that have been in pasture for over 10 years, the grasses have been kept up solely by their own seed and that contributed by the manures he scatters over them. ; Heavy grazing does a great deal of harm during particularly dry weather and if the period of dry weather shows indication of being an extended one the silo is opened, or - should the silage be gone, dry feed is used. Thus the pastures are pre- served. ,pays -him to do so. The foundation of all his pastures is made up of the clovers, the little red usually predominating, timothy, blue grass and white clover. These are all dependable and have a definite value in system of pasturing. The clovers are kept from freezing out by the protection afforded by the timothy and blue grass and are maintained by self-seeding as described above. The blue grass and clover provide pasture early in the spring, and then the timothy begins to provide pasture. Later in the summer, when the blue grass begins to decline, the white clover comes on .with the other clo- vers and timothy to furnish good for- age. Any year when it is seen that the white clover has a good prospect for seed, it is encouraged by -limited pasturing, with the result that that low, thick herbage is preserved near the soil and the white clover kept in the pasture by reseeding itself. He believes in taking as good care of his pasture as of any other crops, and furthermore he knows -that it It has been a great help in the solution of his labor problems. Manure is scattered thinly over the pastures about once in every three or four years, being applied at the rate of about three or four loads to the acre. He must use it thinly in order to have sufficient for his other crops and he thinks it does more.ben- efit to use it oftener and thinly than to apply it heavily and only once in five to eight years. FROM WASHINGTON Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Seeing letters from the other states, but not from Washington, I am going to write you. We live in the northeastern part of the state in what is known as the Big Bend, Douglas county.” Wheat is the principal crop but the last three years being rather dry there hasn’t been an average yield. Last fall we had an early rain so all the farmers of this locality pushed out and seeded all they could and most of the wheat was getting a pretty good start. We didn’t get much snow, but most of the wheat is alive so far. What it will make no one can tell. However, what I wanted to get at was this—the farmers of this section are in favor of the Nonpartisan league. It is just what the farmers want. We have got to do something, that is a fact.

SMUT .TREATMENT PAYS Seed wheat treated for smut yields two bushels more per acre than un- treated seed, experiments .- at the North Dakota Agricultural college show, and increased yields from treat- ed oats and barley are even greater.
