Agronomist Gives Recommendations For Fall Grazing Plant early and use a lot of nitrogen. That suggestion was offered this week by J. R. Johnson, Ex tension agronomist and project leader at the University of Geor gia College of Agriculture, as the way to get fall grazing. He said experiment stations and farmers have demonstrated that those two factors are more important than any others. Johnson recommended seeding winter grazing crops in middle or late August in the mountain areas. He said September 1 is a good seeding date in the Pied mont and Limestone Valley and Upland. September 15 to Octo ber 1 was suggested as a good planting time for the Coastal Plain. In addition to 500 pounds of 4-12-12, the agronomist advised using 50 pounds of avaiable nitrogen at planting time or soon thereafter. “This will hasten fall grazing,” he said. Johnson continued that a com- mon winter grazing mixture is two .bushels of oats, 20 pounds of crimson clover and 20 pounds of rye grass per acre. Other farmers, he said, like to use two bushels of rye and 20 pounds of crimson clover. “Four bushels of oats alone will make excel lent fall and winter grazing. Two bushels of rye alone will do the same.” Farmers were reminded that winter grazing should be planted, on well prepared soil. Johnson pointed out that small grain should not be planted on the same land more often than once (every three years. He also sug gested that small grain seed be treated to control disease. Certified seed of Arlington or Victorgrain 48-93 were suggested fop the entire state. Johnson said the Woods or Wrens strains of Abruzzie rye should be used. Small grain is ready for graz ing, the agronomist stated, when it reaches a height of four inches or more.

Folks, your soil is the most important thing on which our present economy stands. Making and keeping our soils productive is the foundation of successful agriculture, of national pros perity. Americans today are facing many important questions, but none more important than that of making and keeping our soils productive. Nearly everyone recognizes the need for proper fertilizing and liming to grow good crops, but the use of fertilizer and lime alone will not always produce a good crop. We must consider the soil on which the crop is to be grown. Some soils just naturally pro duce more than others. Soils, differ as to how fast air and water will pass through them. Some soils are very droughty, while others are set most of the time. We know too, that crops are very choosie as to what soil they will do best on. For example; Tobacco seems to do best on a sandy loam soil with mottled sandj T clay betwen 14 and 30” under the surface, while cotton likes a soil free of mottles and with a higher clay content. Before you can know the best use for a particular soil, you must first know its natural limi tations. A soil capability map showing the kind of soil, degree of wetness, degree of erosion, the steepness of slope will help you to understood these limitations. A soil scientist working with your local Soil Conservation Dis trict will be glad to make this map of your farm.
