THE VALUE OF GOOD PAS
TURES ON THE FARM
The United States Department of
Agriculture has recenly sent out
Farmers’ Bulletin 1125. A part of
the bulletin deals with the question
of making permanent pastures in
the South. Reccently we had an ar
ticle of our own on the same sub
ject, but since the making of per
manent pastures in the South is,
or should be one of our big agricul
tural problems., and since now is
the time to make plans for pas
tures it won't hurt to quote the
bulletin at some length:
“Bermuda grass and carpet grass
are the foundation of all permanent
pastures in the cotton region, the
former being superior on all heavy
soils, the latter on lighter sandy
soils. One or both of these grasses,
together with any others that prom
ise success, should be planted in
every pasture. In the South pas
tures should give good grazing dur
ing eight or nine months of the
year and some grazing during the
other three or four months. While
Bermuda grass and carpet grass are
suerior for, general use, both start
slowly and when first planted
should be supplemented with some

Then —cool, head-clearing relief
kind of rye gralss for a quick win

pastures, red-top for wet ground,
and Dallas grass for heavy clays.
Every permanent pastui'e should
| have a good proportion of legumes,
| and of these lespedeza, melilotus,
bur clover, vetch, white clover, and
alsike clover are the most satisfac
tory. Lespedeza is best for the dry
clay hills and melilotus for lands
rich in lime, and lespedeza, bur clo
ver, and the vetches are valuable
additions to Bermuda grass sod.
White Clover comes in naturally
every pasture, and alsike clover
r.hould be sown on all Vet or heavy
soils.
“Wild lands will furnish a certain
amount of grazing, and even when
they cannot be plowed their natural
condition can often be .greatly im
proved by going over them with a
heavy harrow or a disc and then
seeding with forage crops suited to
the conditions. To make a good
pasture on land which has never
been cultivated is a very sloto pro
cess. Wherever it can be done ir
will pay to plow and harrow the
ground, even where .trees and

stumps are so numerous that not
more than half the surface can be
disturbed. A really good pasture
requires as good soil, as much work
in its preparation, and as careful
handling as any field on the farm.”

Radio is about fifteen yea/rs old;
the telephone is about forty years
old; the telegraph is about sixty
years old. All methods of in

none of them has shown any signs
of displacing Printing.
The typewriter is just fifty yea*rs
old; the multigraph is much young

cation on paper, but instead of dis
placing- real Printing, they have sim
ply increased the demand for it.
The railroad displaced the ox
cart; the automobile has already
made a big dent in the railroad;
perhaps the flying machine will do
something to the automobile. But
Printng, which is older than any of
the things just mentioned, goes on
better than ever because it is fun-

damental to every and to
almost every human pursuit. Art,
science and industry depend upon
it, literature could not exist with
out it, and advertising, which is the
literature of business, was created
by it.
In four and a half centuries the
methods, the technique and the aux
i’aries of Printing have been im
proved and elaborated, but the base
of the craft—type and presses—
still hold the original ideas. You
may look and wait, but as yet there
is no sign of a substitute for real
Printing.—-Warde's Words.

tion like Kiwanis or Rotary in that

are losing precious time by going it
alone. It is organization and team
work that counts.

before it leaves the factory
withstands the severest'’possible
tests. It is completely submerged
in water subjected to two and
one-half tons pressure. It must be
absolutely airtight and not at any
time permit water toleak through.
(Stone, brick and concrete vaults
let water in and hold it.)
Its proved protection is made
permanent through the use of
heavy twelve gauge Keystone
copper-bearing steel the most
perfect rust resisting steel made.
All joints are doubly welded; are
thicker and stronger than the
plates themselves. We earnestly
recommend this "quality” vault.
