^ raz ‘ n? P roves Solution to
Prob lem s of M r. C. R Patten
By jaok Wooten, Extension Editor |
MILLEN, Ga., Dec. 2— There was
a 40- acre tract on the Stackhouse
farm in Jonkins county that had
been in cultivation, but there was so
much Johnson grass on it that crops
could not be grown satisfactorily.
With cultivated crops Johnson
grass was an enemy, but as a graz
ing crop — well, maybe It could be
used to advantage; at least, C. F.
Patten, manager of the farm, be
lieved It could
And so Mr. Patten decided to
make this 40 acres into a perma
nent pasture. First thing he did was
to fence it. Next he applied 50 tons
of lime to the area.
In October of last year Mr. Patten
planted oats, rye, and barley on this
land so badly infested with Johnson
grass. He was sure that if he could
not "hip the grass that sucked the
very life-blood of his crops he could
join the enemy, and put in the three
green crops to keep the grass com
pany. Later in February he sowed
20 pounds of lespedeza seed in this
pasture.
Well, the green grass- oats, rye
and barley were “growing all around’’
by April of 1939. So, Mr. Patten
herded 132 head of heifers and put
them to grazing on the 40 acres.
That was a lot of cattle for such a
small area, but there was a lot of
grazing for these cattle, too!
The 132 head of beef cattle re
mained on the “Johnson grass pas
ture'’ until June 1, and then Mr
Patten took them all off. In the
meanwhile he bred 50 of his prize
heifers and, on July 1, put these
back in the pasture. On November 1,
he took the heifers out of this per
manent pasture. They were as fat as
butter-balls. Grazing on land on
which heretofore the owner had been
unable to overcome the strangle hold
of Johnson grass, so as to make a
profitable cash crop, had furnished
them practically all the sustenance
necessary to put on that solid flesh!
“I intend to disc and drill this
pasture in oats and barley again,”
Mr. Patten said “There are enough
lespedeza seed left to get a good
stand.’’
“And the Johnson grass?” we
asked.
“Why. that's about all gone,” he
smiled. "But it proved to be a bless
i ing in disguise. It was a liability for
| cultivated crops, but it sure was an
asset as a grazing crop.”
Ralph T Davis, sheep and beef
| ! specialist of the Georgia speaking Agricultur- the
al Extension Service, of
experience of Mr. Patten on
Stackhouse farm, declared
! day:

An average of 300 head of cattle
are kept on the Stackhouse farm and
there are some 600 acres of land in
pastures. Mr. Patten keeps four
purebred Hereford bulls and has a
few purebred heifers. Most of the
cows, however, are grade cows. In
addition to the heifers which were
bred in June, there are 80 old cows
