Fred George, a member of the
Wards Store Conservation Group,
has gotten real grazing from a five
acre pasture. Since January 1, Ge-
orge has grazed from two to thirty-
three cows on this pasture. His
well-kept records show that he
has gotten a total of 1056 grazing
days between January 1 and May
20th.
This is how Mr. George treated
this pasture: In 1952 he had an
excellent crop of reseeding crim-
son clover. On October 6 of this
year, he applied 2000 lbs. of 5-10-
5 fertilizer on the 5 acres. The
land was disked and seeded to 50
lbs. of Hop clover. On January
5th, 400 lbs. of ammonia nitrate
was applied. Between February
19 and 23, 36 loads of broiler hou-
se litter was applied. This pasture
is 16 to 18 inches high now with
rye grass, hop and crimson clover,
with a good stand of Bermuda
coming on.
O. B. Sartin of Alto has also
done an outstanding job of prod-
ucing grazing on a 5 acre pasture.
The thing that makes Sartin's
work especially is the type and
capability of his land. This past-
ure is on deep coarse sandy land
that is very steep.
Sartin began his pasture build-
ing program by applying broiler
house litter to the land. Last fall
Sartin seeded 100 lbs. of Italian
rye grass and 100 lbs. vetch on
this pasture. 400 lbs. of 5-10-5 fer-
tilizer per acre was applied at
seeding time. Two applications 100
lbs. per acre of nitrogen fertilizer
were applied during the winter
and early spring.
Sartin has grazed 17 head of
dairy cows a total of 63 days on
this pasture since January 1st.
This makes a total of 1071 grazing
days for the 5 acres, or a total of
214 days per acre. "I have to get
all the grazing I can out of my
pastures. I only have 19 acres and
21 dairy cows," says Sartin.
Recent rains have caused heavy
soils loss and damage in this soil
conservation district. Many dist-
rict cooperators with adequate
terrace systems have reported a
minimum of erosion damage. Mrs.
Alice Ross of Ponta had this to
say about her recently construct-
ed terraces: "My tennant and I
thought the terraces were too lar-
ge, but we know now that our
land would have washed away
without them."
Mrs. Robert L. Baker of Ponta
is very active in conservation far-
ming. She manages a large farm
near Ponta. She recently made
this statement relative to building
pastures: "I am convinced that
what we need to develop real pas-
tures here in East Texas is more
vetch, fertilizer and time."

one application, covering all mem-

classing office.
Under the Smith-Doxey Act, Mr.
Martin explained, any group of
farmers organized to promote im-
provement of cotton, which ad-
opts a single variety, files an ap-
plication, arranges for sampling
and meets certain other require-
ments, is eligible to take part.
No fees are involved. Members
then get their cotton classed free
by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture at local classing offices.
After classing, a green card on
each bale is returned to the farm-
er. This plus the market news
service gives him a definite ad-
vantage in trading, for he knows
exactly what he's selling, and how
much it's worth. Also, Mr. Martin
added he can even sell his cot-
ton by presenting his green card
to the buyer for examination, in
place of an actual sample,
