SOIL STEWARDSHIP WEEK
Every citizen of Dade County
will prosper only as the land
prospers and the land will pros¬
per only as the people of the
county realize the importance of
soil and water and the role these
/resources play in our lives.
The spil of Dade County pro¬
vides us not only with food, but
with clothing and shelter-wood,
cotton, wool, leather, vegetable
oils and other everyday prod¬
ucts. Our soil is a cherished
possession and must be preser¬
ved and used properly.
We have adequate rainfall in
Dade County. We have soil that
can be made to produce abund¬
antly. We have an ideal climate
and most important of all we
have people with ambition and
vision.
The farmers of Dade County
are taking advantage of the var¬
ious programs under the Agri¬
cultural Stabilization and Con¬
servation Program to assist them
in preserving their soils and pro¬
ducing higher yields as well as
making their farms more entic¬
ing for recreation.

Temporary Summer Grazing—
Some type of temporary summer
grazing is needed for an adeq¬
uate grazing program on most
livestock farms. About one-half
acre of temporary grazing per
cow or animal unit is a good
amount to have. The most com¬
mon plants used for temporary
summer grazing are millet,
Sudan grass and annual ies-
pedeza.
Miilet-Starr and Gahi-L have
been the best .producers of qual¬
ity forage in tests at the Costal
Plain Experiment Station. Both
(are adapted for grazing. Excess
growth of these millets should
be used for silage as they are not
adapted for hay production.
flBrownstop millet is the better
millet for hay production. It also
can be grazed.
