Bermuda Grass
Yields 2 V 2 Tons
An upright-growing specie of
Bermuda grass has yielded 24
tons of hay per acre under exper
imental tests, reports S. H. Starr,
Director of the Coastal Plain Ex
periment Station. Tifton.
The conference is sponsored by
the Association of Southern Agri
cultural Workers and is one of
five such regional conferences
held throughout the country.
Scientists who developed the
upright Bermuda grass report
that, if is not as aggressive as the
common creeping varieties. For
fhis reason it will not crowd out
other grasses when planted as a
mixture. On the othe r hand,
steady grazing causes it to revert
back to he creeping aggressive ha
bits which at present .limit its po
tential use only as a hay crop
which may be used in a erpp ro
tation.
The scientists at present are in
vestigating the possibility of us
ing the upright Bermuda for one
hay Crop, followed by grazing of
lespedeza which would be emer
ging about the time the hay is cut.
Another interesting grdss at t,h*
Experiment Station has not yet
received a common name. It is of
the same family as Bahia glass
and Dallis grass, and combines the
! belter qualities of both. Prelim
j inary investigations-show the new
j grass has more which cold resistance is
than Bahia grass grown
successfully only in Florida, On
the other hand the seeds are free
of ergot--a disease I hat makes it
next to impossible to get Dallis
grass seed that will give a good
stand. Among other interesting
possibilities of this new grass,
Doctor Starr poims out, is the
possible hybridization with Dallis
grass which will give a new Dallis
variety free of ergot.
Progress has been made breed
ing an improved Napier grass
which has mote leaf and less
stalk. It, is also more resistant
to leaf diseases, which give il pro
mise as a summer grass.
These accomplishments along
with many others were inspected
at the Coastal Plain Experiment
Station when farmers and agricul
tural leaders frm the Southeastern
states attended the first South
ern Grassland Conference in Tif
ton, July 25 and 26.

Type* of Strip Cropping
The Soil Conservation Servic
has developed two types of stri
cropping, annual and perennia'
Each of these types plays a defi
nite role in a sound soil conserv
ation program. Kudzu and lespc
deza sericea are generally grow
in perennial strips. Hay produce
on these strips enables farmers t.<
turn under for soil improvemen
a larger proportion of the vegeta
tion grown in annual strips in
stead of harvesting these annual
crops for hay. Another reason foi
growing both annual and peren
nial strips is that sometimes heavy
rains occur when the vegetation
in the annual strips is not large
enough to provide ample protec
tion to the land. Thus, perennia!
strips are necessary as second
lines of defense.
Pir Crop in Georgia
Georgia’s 1940 spring pig crop
(farrowed from December 1, 1939
to June 1, 1940) is estimated to be
25 per cent below the record crop ;
of last year and only one per cent;
larger than the 10-year (1929-38) j
average crop, according to the
June pig crop report of the Agri- ,
cultural Marketing Service. The !
spring pig crop is placed at 890,
000 pigs. The number of sows far
rowed this spring is estimated at
168.000 head, or 21 per cent be
low' the 212,000 farrowed one year
ago and 8 per cent larger than the
10-year (1929-38) average spring
farrowings. Breeding intentions
indicate 130,000 sows to farrow in
the fall season of 1940 (June 1 to
December 1) which is 27 per cent
below the 177,000 sows farrowed
in the fall of 1939, and 6 per cent
larger than the 10-year (1929-38)
average.
