Agent Says Mowing
Of Pastures Gives
Improved Grazing
One of the most helpful pieces of
work that farmers can do this year
is to now completely all of the pas
ture acreage at least twice, in the
opinion of County Extension Agent
B. T. Brown.
The agent said that pastures now
in existence are of much better qauli
ty than they were 10 years ago but
there is an enormous loss of feed
each year due to weed growth that
competes with the better pasture
grasses and legumes.
“Weeds compete for space, plant
food and moisture, and in cases of
large weeds, they shade out the smal
ler growing plants or reduce their
growth to the extent that little graz
ing is provided. It is well to remem
her that weeds cte the greatest ene
mies of the pasture and that the es'tab
lishment of a dense sod is the best
means of controlling them.
“After a pasture is established, a
definite plan for controlling weeds
should be worked out, and by all
means, put into effect. The weeds
should he cut in their most weakened
condition which is usually at bloom
ing time. If cut just before seeds form
the plants will be prevented from pro
ducing seed and will be injured most
from the mowing. The roots of peren
nial seeds are injured most when cut
at blooming time and also prevented
from producing seed.”
Mr. Brown pointed out that there
could be no set rule as to the num
ber of cuttings but, generally speak
ing, two to three complete mowings
are required for best control. If three
mowings are required the first cut
ting possibly should be made in late
May or early June, the second during
late July or early August and the
third in September. If only two mow
ings are made, June and late August
will possibly be the best dates. To be
effective, the seeds along the fence
rows, ditch banks or rough places
must also he cut thoroughly, he ad
ded.
The farm agent called attention to
the fact that the soil building practice
of the AAA number 12—renovation of
permanent pastures infested with
noxious weeds and other competing
plants or shrubs by mowing —will
help a great deal with keeping weeds
under control in pastures. The credit
is 50 cents per acre for two mowings
provided specifications are met. Ber.e
fit from the mowings will exceed by
far the credit given but it should en
courage this important practice, he
explained.

A Tribute To
The 4-H Clubs
The future of agricultural progress in
America is resting more and more up
on the youthful shoulders of our 4-H
boys and girls.
The 4-H movement was started in
Macoupin County, Illinois, in 1899 by
W. B. Otwell, when he organized a
corn club.
Today it has become one of the

our 4-H clubs and pledge them our
