Cawmpbell’s Letter on Pasturesin Europe
Bv J. Phil Campbell, Director.
Except Great Britain and Hol
land, we found few pastures in
Burope outside of the mountain
districts in and avound Switzer
land.. The average untreated
pasturés however except in the
mountainous districts,
Most of the pastures are in
small areas fenced with stone
fences or hawthorn hedges and
well fertilized. Cattle and sheep‘
are rotated from one pasture to
another, The fertilized pastures!
cacry from one to three and a;
half cows per acre. |
The. method of fertibizing as
described to us by a county Agent
is as follows; one ton of ground
limestone per acre every thirdl
year, one thousand to iwelve
‘hundred pounds of basic slag and!
eight hundred pounds of Kai.it
annually. Some farmers use nit-1
rogen fertilizers alsu. This of
course is in eddition to the drops‘
from the cattle and possibly the.
accumulated manures from the
barns. Since the cattle graze
the pastures throughout the year,‘
winter as wellas summer, little
manure is accumulated except
fromn the milk cows.
The soils of Holland do not
seem equal to the Soils of Eng
land for pasture grasses but the
more liberal use of fertilizers givesi
heavy grazing returns, }
On cone farm of 240 acres which
included the cultivated lands as
well as pasture lands. they were
carrying 96 cows, 16 horses, 60
sheep and 60 hecgs. Practically
all of the livestock was carried
on the nasture of a little more than
a hundred acres. Pastures in
Holland as well as England are
well fertilized. The pastures
grasses consisted principally of
rye grass and clovers |

With clear weather the first of
the week the water from the re
cent storms is rapidly draining
away., Workmen are being put

It is expected that work wili begin
on the River bridge this wegk
and expect it to be ready for
travel by the end of the week if
the rains have ceased.
Mrs. L. Nobles of Vienna, who

Mr. L, Q. Nobles and his' family

Dr. E. W. Prexcott made several
trips to Council the past week
where he has a number of pati
*ents.
who' has given more attention to
pastures in Georgia than any one
I know of, has come to the con
clusion that our unequal distri
cution of rain fall will always be a
handicep to any grazing program.
Qur climate, being much warmer
than tne European climate, calls
for a greater wa‘er suppy. We
have about double the rainfall in
Eugland but it is not so evenly
distributed, The spring and fall
drouths affect the seasonal grow
th and beavy winter rains destroy
the winter feeding value of dry
grass. We can over come this
handicap to some extent by soil
improvement and fertilization. It
is a far cry from a wornout cotton
field to an improved pasture but'
this is necessary if we expect to
grow livestock or make tbe dairy |
industry thrive in Georgia. We
have learned to make alfalfa al
most, if no equal, to any people
We can do the same thing with
prastures,
Messrs. Crabb and Collins have
demonstrated beynnd a doubt
this ‘year tiat the amount of
grass can be doubled and quad
rupled by giving some attention
to soil improvement and ferti
lizers.
Our Lespedeza, carpet, Ber
muda and Dallas grasses are equal
in feeding value to the grasses
of other couniries, provided we
can overcome the handicap of
our uneven rainfal!, Lunsford at
Covington Georgia proved that
this can be done in part if not
altogether, The extremes of wet
and dry weather did not have an
extreme effect on his pastures
His winter growing clovers gave
wiater grazing equai to winter
pastures of other countries. His
summer pastures on hill lands
produced 300 pounds of meat per
acre.
