Improvement Column Just what is the trend toward farming in our “Dade County?” If you should travel U. S. 11 toward Chattanooga—we are in¬ clined to believe that you would say horse raising. Have you stopped to take a second glance at the beautiful green, freshly mown pasture of Dave L. Brown? There are acres of pasture seed¬ ed this spring to a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass, orchard grass, herds grass, and lespedeza. To this pasture in the past year over nine hundred tons of ground limestone have been ap¬ On this pasture are many thoroughbred horses, mares and colts. It reminds us of the many we have seen of the western states or a Wild western movie. * * * Should you be interested in cattle—take a look at the many acres of improved pasture at Dave T. Brown farm, with those white faced cattle grazing late in the afternoon or drinking from the stream which winds through this pasture. Mr. Brown’s son, Ewell, is erecting a new hay and cattle barn for use this fall. * * * . A short distance to the right of the highway is the farm re¬ cently bought by Mr. Joe Lucas who has gone into farming in a big way. He has bought a herd of angus cattle and by fall will have over one hundred hogs. He has built many new fences and is beginning improvement on his pastures. Mr. Lucas has practically every barnyard fowl you could expect to see ... in¬ cluding a few hissing geese. We might reel inclined to say that farming in Dade County is leanind toward pasture and grazing or cattle raising.
