We had a real snow storm last
Friday. Not a blowing cold one
but just snow falling gently and
continously from the sky. Fail¬
ing on frozen ground, it stayed
piling up over an inch. The
roads and highways were ex¬
ceedingly dangerous for as the
snow packed down it made a
layer of ice. All cars skidded and
iome unfortunately into ditches.
Until noon no busses ran from
Chattanooga south. About this
time the thermometer started
to rise and by night fall only
tracse of snow were to be seen.

PASTURES
Pastures in Dade County have
been severely damaged by freez¬
ing during the past winter.
Much of the Ladino, Fescue
pasture miture that was seeded
late has been killed. Old stands
of pastures have been damaged
but with continued favorable
conditions they should respond
to warm weather and an appli¬
cation of fertilizer.
Farmers are advised to reseed
permanent pasture this spring
with a light mixture of Ladino
and Fescue They should be very
careful and save all the plants
possible that are still on the
ground. When plants have been
killed in patches over the field
it will be possible for these sec¬
tions to be reseeded with eight
to ten pounds of ♦ Fescue and
half to one pound of Ladino.
Seed should be covered lightly
by dragging with a lighf harrow
or some other suitable imple¬
ment. This seeding should be
done just as soon as possible to
get in the fields, before the 15
of March if possible.
In some instances it might be
advisable to add orchard grass
or Dallas grass and Lespedeza
in the seeding miture.
The pasture plants that have
withstood the winter will res¬
pond quickly to an application
of 100 lbs. of ammonium ni¬
trate per acre, applied by the
first o' March. New seeding of
pasture mixture this spring
should be fertilized with 800 to
1000 of 20^r phosphate, 100 lbs.
to 150 lbs of potash, and at
least 200 lhs of high grade fer¬
tilizer. An application of nitro¬
gen should be applied when the
plants are two or three Inches
tall.

many things from this type of

order '
