CHARLTON COENTY HERAILD.
DOLLAR AND A HALF PER YEAR
Dairy Specialtist Coming Sept. 6th.
Hursey Gives More Facts of Pastures.
It takes something more than
fencing to make a pasture. 'l’hg;?
grasses and clovers constitute the
_ vital organs of the pasture and
the ‘fences are the clothes that
protect the body of the pasture.:
The land nwners of this county
can see that the only trouble they
are having witn the cattle raising,
ticks excapted, is the lack of pas
ture that will carry the cattle
through more days in fine shape.
I have not tried-the St. Augustine
grass but from what I have see.:
of it, it lookS good as one grass forl
a luong time pasfure. I have tried
Carpet grass and know it to be anl
excellent pasture grass. Dallas
grass grows well but does nct
spread fast like the carpet grass.
A fine mixture for a pasture weuld
be 4 pound Carpet, 2 pounds of
_ Dallas grass seeds and 6 pound of
Lespedeza or Japan clover seed
to everv acre. A dist harrow or
some kind of farm impliment must
be run over the ground now sofn
so as to distroy the wire grass
Land must settie well before jpext |
February if you are to get a good
siand of grasses. Yo&. will lot |
notice the grass until late the next|
Jall but the Lespedeza will show up
in a few days after seeding. The
- Lespedeza will fucnisii lots of feea
thefirst year and -m‘ofiéhe. se ”
_year. The Carpet and Dallas Wit/
years. By the third year you
can easily kecp one cow on every
acre and a half. Tne following
years you can keep one cow or
better to the acre for at least IOJ
months per year. Severe cold
will kill the grass leaves but
it will come back any time in the.
winter that you can have three or
more warm days. Lets get a few
acre ready for the pasture now so
that we can soon let the beef cow
as well as the dairy cows
gather her own bay in a large
measure. There are acres and
acres of fine pasture lands in this
county that will take care of more
cattle than we had thought of §if
we will start these pastures and
spread them year Ly year. Fire
breaks that so many farmers have
ploughed through their woods
should be disked now and the
above grasses planted on them
next February. The more nearly
level you can get these fire breaks
by harrowing, the better stand of
grass you will get next year and
the cattle will take care of the fire
break after this seeding. Tne
grasses will graduaily spread from
year to year until you have some
pasture. The cost will be sma!l
ccmpared to the pasture and the
protection you get.
Frank W. Fiwch, Field Agent in
Dairying has just written me that
he can be witn me on Sept 6. 1
am writing him that we will be
glad to have him with us in a
meeting al Sardis School house
on that date. Mr. Fitch is well
prepared to answer any and all
questions pertained to dairying in
Georgia. The hour of the meeting
will be given out later and it is
hoped that every farmer in the
county interested in dairying will
watch the paper for the hour of
the meeting. We are anxicus to
put our dairy project over in fine
shape and that no one runs off
after a tangent. If every ore
knows just how it ought to be
done, then we will have 40 or 50
new industries. Use your best judg-

Al Smith Accepts L.eadership

’The speech of acceptance of Gov.
Alired E. Smith delivered Wednes
duny evening in assembly room ol
the Capitol Albaay, is worthy the
reading of every citizen. Those
who are open minded can recog
nize in it the wisdom of one who
has studied matters of state with
the courage and ability to express
his views clearly and fearlessly
On the mooted question of pro
hibition on which the South is so
inteisely interested he says; ‘I
helieve in temperance. We have
not achieved temperance under the
present System. The mothers and
fathers of young men and young
women know the anxiety and wor
ry which has beer brought to
them by their children’s use of li
quor in a way that was unknown
before prohibition, I pelieve in
reverence for a law. Todays dis
regard for the fprohibition laws is
insidicusly snapping respect for
all law, Iraise* therefore, what 1

I After stating his opinion thu
he believed some immediate relief:
would come from some amend
ment to the Volsiead law giving «
scientificjdefination of the alcoholi
contents of an intozicating bever
age. Going further he says each
individul state should by populas
vite of its people give “the righ
holly within its borders to import
manufacture or cause to be manu
factured and sell beverage, the
sale 1o be made only by the st
itself and not for consumption in
any public piaces, He then cites
