BYRE REA, COUNTY AGENT
The people who call on the
county agent are interested in the
economic and business side of
farming; because as they say the
main purpose for the operation of
any farm enterprise is to make a
profit When the subject of pas-
tures is brought up they ask: What
will it cost to develop and main-
tain an acre of good pasture in
Hardin county? How many acres
will be required to graze or carry
one cow per year? Will it pay off
for the beef cattle producers?
We shall attempt to answer the
first question first. We have gath-
ered some facts and figures on
developing and maintaining pas-

tures over a five year period on
the fine sandy wet natured type of
soils in the Kountze and Silsbee
areas. A large percent of our soils
in this area are of this type and
require about the same treatment
for all practical purposes as far
as the farmer is concerned.
Lime, fertilizers, seed, equip-
ment, and labor have required an
everage of $11.09 per acre annual-
ly for the past five years to devel-
op and maintain one acre of pas-
ture on this wet fine sandy soil
During the first two years these
pastures in a few cases carried
one cow per two acres and the last
three years they have carried a
cow per acre during the months
when the weather was most fav-
orable for growing cool season
clovers or spring and summer
grasses.
Cost Figuring
We arrived at the above cost
figures per acre in the following
1950 as follows:
3000 pounds of ground
limestone per acre in

Hop cloven; and for late spring,
summer, and early fall grazing,

ses.
Did the commercial beef cattle
producers make a profit from
these pastures during the five
year period?
Those cattlemen who ran good
beef type bulls with their herds;
controlled the internal and exter-
nal parasites and did a good job
of feeding managing and mark-
eting made a profit.
In Regards To Other Types Of
Soils In Hardin County
A number of beef cattle pro-
ducers have developed good win-
ter and early spring Crimson clo-
ver and late spring and summer
grass pastures on the drier sandy
loam soils in this area, but we do
not have a complete set of cost
records on them over a five year
period.
One beef cattle producer spent
$100 per acre during a five year
period on the Village Creek deep
sandy soil and did not produce a
pasture except during the rainy
spring months. He lost money.

Frank A. Bell To Head
Tech Accounting Association
Frank Allen Bell of Silsbee is
newly elected president of the La-
mar Tech Accounting Association.
He was installed recently at the
Association's first annual installa-
tion banquet.
A junior accounting major,
Frank is son of Mr. and Mrs. Eu-
gene Bell, 133 Cravens Drive In
Silsbee Before coming to Tech he
attended Silsbee high school.
Frank was listed on the college's
B" Honor Roll for the fall sem-
ester.
on the wrong ride of the road,
another 64 will die because or
recklessness.
Other major factors contribut-
ing to the grim score of 425 vic-
tims are: failure to yield the right
of way, which will account for 43
lives, and sleeping at the wheel,
which will take 35. Miscellaneous
causes will kill the final 38 of the
predicted total
Approximately one-fourth of
driveis who are involved in fatal
accidents, or pedestrians who are
killed, will have been drinking.
Most smashups will take place on
straight, dry roads, and almost
half of all fataltUea will occur In
broad daylight.
"This needless waste of life
could easily be avoided," said
Thomas N. Boate, manager of the
Association’s accident prevention
department, “if drivers would fol-
low a few basic rules of safety
and practice courtesy behind the
wheel. Driving at a safe speed,
alone, can cut the toll almost two-
thirds, for in a 65 mile-an-hour
accident death comes to one out
of every six persons while in 40
mile-an-hour accident the ratio Is
reduced to one out of every 18. If
you ure taking a trip on the Mem-
orial Day weekend, drive at a
safe speed and get there alive,"

A D Lindsey, Jr, is getting
ready to develop some permanent
pasture this fall Mr. Lindsey has
360 acres north of Honey Island
that he is doing some clearing on.
He said he figures a job is
worth doing well, so he is going to
develop a portion of the 360 acres
each year. Mr. Lindsey also has
another farm in Honey Island
which has good White Dutch, Hop,
and Bermuda.

Alvin Frederick* of Sour Lake
is getting rid of a lot of brush to
start a pasture program this fall.

Buck Hobbs of Batson reports
his Ky. Fescue has turned out to
be mostly ryegrass. Although he
has a wonderful pasture, he was
disappointed in not getting Fes-
cue.
This is the second case this year
of Fescue plantings turning out to
be 90% Ryegrass. The two plants
are very difficult to tell apart in
the growing stage.
LNSCD
Farmers in the Sour Lake area
may want to try Louisiana Red
Clover this fall. George Bauer,
Supervisor of the Coastal Soil
Conservation District who owns a
farm near China, reporta good re-
sult* from 80 acres of Red clover
this year. He said it has produced
more than his White Dutch, and
no bloat where cattle graze Red
clover.
The plant is adapted primarily
to the Coastal Prairie soils from
Sour Lake south, but will do well
on wet fertile soils in the upland.
LNSCD
David Read has an idea that
may apply to Crimson clover
growers. He says he is going to
take a drag and go through his
Crimson when the aeed pods are
ready to shatter to scatter the sod
in open areas in which no Crim-
son grew. He said this should as-
ure a better coverage of plants
