Col. and Mrs. D. E. Morrison were in Macon Saturday where Mrs. Morrison was attending a Board of Managers meeting of the Georgia Press Association. Your publisher was recently ap¬ pointed to this Board as repre¬ sentative for the 7th District. 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. The Farm Reporter 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. Vlifc L>A)>K COUNT! TIMES.
