West McHenry PASTURES AIDED PROPER CARE Turf Should Be Worked Before Re-Seeding. By C. H. FARNHAM ~ " of Illinois Colltf •/ 4rmlWi!l.) Thinning hair is pretty hard to stop, but thinning pastures can be rejuvenated. Since the seedbed largely determines the success of a pasture, the turf of old pastures should be summer- plowed and worked down several times before reseeding in late August or early September. In some cases thorough disking will help if existing grasses and weeds won't compete too much with thfc new geedings. Because continued pasturing or cropping jeduees the content of ialcium, phosphorus and other plant food materials, most old pastures need limestone and fertilizer. Need j of limestone, which can be deter- j mined by an acidity test, usually shows up first. Limestone should be applied several months ahead of legume seedings so it Will have time to sweeten the soil before seeding time. If the land is to be plowed, it is best to apply the limestone after plowing so it will sweeten the upper portion of the root system as well as the deeper soil areas. Limestone does not move up in the soil but the solution goes downward. Lightly working manure into the soil before seeding pasture mixtures also gives them a boost in establishing root and top growth. On steep slopes, it is best to do all the plowing and disking on the level contour. He recommends that any sod draws that have developed should be left undisturbed to form grass waterways. Pasture improvement, contour farming, seeding of legumes and applications of limestone constitute four of the five practices being stressed in 1940 to achieve more conservation of soil, water and human resources. The other practice is tree planting. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at McHenry, 111., under the act of May 8, 1879.

Anderson, animal husbandry specialist at Iowa State college^ Anderson' points to "the results of 18 swine feeding demonstrations, conducted on Iowa farms by Iowa" State college in which pasture was used. Eight of these pastures were poor to fair in quality, largely oil bluegrass. Ten of the pastures wercr ~ good, consisting of alfalfa, red clo-* ver, and rape. The same rations were used on all pastures. The pigs on poor pastures fed cotn and minerals made an pverage gain of .76 pound, while on good pastures the daily gain was 1.36 pounds, or two-thirds more. Good pasture is one of the best sources of easily digested protein. Rich in lime and phosphorus, thQ legumes provide minerals which arflj easily assimilated by young pigs.

Straight fences waste land under such conditions. Safe entrances on high-fpeed high* ways require proper choice of location and special construction, the bulletin points out.
