Pastures and Meadows Are Improved by
Liberal Use of Phosphate and Legumes
Many local farmers cooperating
with the Red River County Soil Con-
aervation District are improving
their bermuda grass meadows and
pastures by applying phosphate fer-
tilizer and overseeding with legumes.
The legumes being used on pas-
tures include hop clover, white
dutch, bur clover, black medic and
lespedeza. All of these legumes do
well in this district on all soil types
except black medic which does best
on lime soils. Most farmers and
stockmen have or are seeding these
legumes on their pastures and few
improved pastures can be found in
Red River county that do not contain
one or all of these legumes.
One of the pasture meadow le-
gumes farmers and stockmen are
growing where no phosphate was
applied.
There are many washed and cord-
ed fields in the Red River County
Soil Conservation District, fields
that would make abundant pastures
and meadows if properly handled,
and too, there are many established
pastures and meadows that could be
much improved by the use of le-
gumes and fertilizer.
showing most interest in now is les-|put Phosphate and leave tall grass
pedeza. There are several varieties
of lespedeza, but there are only two
varieties being seeded in the Red
River County Soil Conservation Dis-
trict to any extent. These being
Kobe lespedeza on pastures and Ko-
rean lespedeza on meadow's. The
Kobe and Korean are annual lespe-
dezas and when grazed and mowed
properly will re-seed each year. Ap-
proximately 2500 acres were seeded
to these lespedezas in the Red River
County Soil Conservation District
during early spring of this year.
This included about 1500 acres of
bermuda pasture seeded to Kobe les-
pedeza and 1000 acres of meadow
seeded to Korean lespedeza.
There are several local farmers
cooperating with the district who
have improved their pastures and
meadows by overseeding with les-
pedeza. Some of these farmers in-

cient people and quoting “Man and
the Soil," the baby wont have good
bones if its formula is made of milk
from a cow whose feed came from a
soil deficient in calcium and phos-
phorous. And, too, the adult cannot
build muscle and good red blood
from a steak from a steer fed on
grasses and grain from leached and
eroded soils devoid of protein build-
ing minerals and iron.
As to proof that most of the soil
in this district is deficient in phos-
phorous is why H. F. Bandemer
states that his cattle graze 70 per
cent of the time on the part of the
pasture where he put phosphate fer-
tilizer, and also why Chester White-
man says that his cattle eat his pas-
ture down to the ground where he

Home and World Fronts

regular Army has reached 44,799.
Of this number, 43.15 per cent are
presently serving or have served af-
ter being chosen by Selective Ser-
vice . . There are 2,790 languages
spoken throughout the world . . Ac-
cording to a Veterans’ Administra-
tion report, more than 50,000 veter-
ans have gone back to school and
10,000 others have been approved for
vocational training . . Silk growing
was introduced into Texas by a
group of Syrian immigrants as a
hobby. The center of the industry
is now at Mineral Wells, Texas . .
The contents of the daily Congress-
ional Record are taken down by sev-
en official shorthand reporters in
the House of Representatives and
six in the Senate . . All U. S. ser-
vicemen and servicewomen, who
served honorably between Decem-
ber 7, 1941, and the termination of
hostilities in the present war, may
wear the new World War II victory
medal . . 900,000 more enlisted men

Public Health
The Senate Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor has reported to the
Senate, amended, S. 191, to provide
Federal assistance to States in con-
struction of hospitals and health
centers.
The bill would provide Federal
Grants of $75,000,000 a year for five
years, beginning with July 1, 1946.
The Federal Government’s grants to
States would range from 33 1-3 per
cent for the wealthiest States to 75
per cent for the poorest States.
Surplus Lajid
Land purchased by the Govern-
ment and used during the war will ]
be sold when it has been declared
surplus. In Texas, all of this land
will be sold by the Federal Land
Bank of Houston, after notice has
been given to former owners, to for-
mer tenants, veterans and others.
Congress, in passing the bill pro-
vided for the disposal of these sur-
plus lands, gives the former owner
preference to re-purchase at the
price the Government paid less any
losses occasioned by tearing down
the buildings, fences, etc. If the
former owner does not want to buy,
then the tenants of the former own-
er will be given a chance. If the
tenants do not want to buy, veter-
ans will be given the next oppor-
tunity; and after that, it wpll be of-
fered to the public.
Adequate notice will be given
when the land is declared surplus.
