BERMUDA GRASS.
Best Method of Cultivating and liar*
vesting tile Same.
Questions. —We have 150 acres of
good meadow land iu Greene county, 60
or 75 acres of which are well sodded to
Bermuda. The remainder is not yet
cleared, and is covered with some big
trees and heavy undergrowth and a lit¬
tle cane. Bermuda being indigenous would to
the soil, we believe that we only
havo to clean up the land and cultivatd
it a year or two before it would be ad
good’ hay land as one would overflow, want. This
land is nil subject to and wo
would be pleased to have let your advice.
1. Will it be better to the grass re*
main, cultivate it, and improve it, or to
plant the land in corn?
2. It we let the grass remain, what is
the best method of cultivating Bermuda
grass on this kind of land?
8. If we have an overflow just when
the grass is ready to cut, is it better to
cut it as soon as the water recedes and
the ground is bard enough and give the
new crop a quick start, or try to make
hay of the grass that was overflowed?
4. Is grass that has been overflowed
and cut as soon as the water is off good
for anything?
Answers. —1. Knowing the reposi¬
tion of Greene county for grasses and
the largo yield of Bermuda gras? hay,
we do not hesitate to express the opin¬
ion that if your land is well set with
Bermuda it is worth as much perhaps
as any other crop that cau be grown on
it. We arc borne out in thin, opinion by
the Rev. 0. W. Howard, a rocoguized
authority on grasses. We would sug¬
gest that you let tho 00 or 75 aores ab
ready sodded remain iu Bermuda. Clear
the remaining acres of meadow land. It
might be well to put them iu corn for
oue or two years. If, however, you arc
a .o, e t 0 remove the stumps at oueo, it
might be better to use the whole 150
acres of meadow laud for Bermuda at
ouce.
2. The best way to cultivate Bermuda
grass tjiat is already sodded is to plow,
roll and smooth your laud, so that it
may be as even as possible. A good fer
tilizer for Bermuda grass is ordinary
cottonseed meal, wliicu contains from 10
to 14 per cent of phosphoric acid, 2 to 3
per ceut of ammonia and 2 to 3 per cent
of potash. The best compost is made
from barnyard manure, acid phosphate
and kainit.
8 and 4. In case of the overflow of
grass by water we have thi3 to say: If
the overflowing water remains only a
short while there will be no
Csaaragg, if the grass is not left soiled
and muddy, but, if the water remains a
day or two and leaves the grass dirty, it
wil1 not in that condition he good for
.« tGC k unless it be ruu through
isoru shretl.der, which, will remove the
flast and dirt to a gre a extent. But if
tai few . days , , good , -
R a wa ug, a Fa’.Q
should wash rhe gra » clean, it would
makegood hav after all. However.it
is generally best to cut grass that has
been overflowed soon after tho water re
c^sa-jd the land dries out. In nocaso
woukl jre mix hay which has beau over
flowed with a crop of undamaged hay.—
