Lime and Fertilizer
Essential to Success
Legumes are a "must" in any
permanent pasture building pro­
gram if good yields of high quality
forage are to be obtained, accord­
ing to Dr. R. Dodd of the Ohio Agri­
cultural Experiment station.
"The legumes no, only provide
the nitrogen for additional grass
growth and greatly increase the
yield, but they also increase the
lime and protein content of pasture
herbage,” he pointed out.
Legume seedings, however, must
first be limed and fertilized if per­
manent pasture growth is to be as­
sured.

these trials legume seedings had
failed regardless of the seeding

but with a top dressing of lime and
500 pounds of 0-14-7 fertilizer.” he
declared, "the greatest degree of
success was obtained when seedings
were made early in the spring and
where the grass had been weakened
by very close grazing the preced­
ing fall or winter. The percentage
of successes was more than double
those obtained following seed-bed
preparation but without treatment.
“Where treatment and disking
were combined, the percentage of
successes was again doubled. It
is therefore recommended that the
land be first limed as needed, then
disked, fertilized and seeded.”

Recent experiments at Oregon.
Maryland and Wisconsin experi­
ment stations would
indicate that the
use of DDT, while
causing some in­
jury to honeybees,
may offer advan­
tages that will over­
come these losses
and even prove a
blessing to the bee­
keeping industry.
When hairy vetch was dusted for
the hair vetch weevil, at the rate
of 3 per cent DDT dust, 25 pounds
per acre, effective control was se­
cured. Bees were in most cases
absent from the dusted fields tor
several days following the dusting.
As hairy vetch is of considerable
importance to the beekeepers in
many regions, and as the weevil
would soon kill out the crop, the
importance of these tests is of con­
siderable interest and value.
At Waukegan, III., Wayne Carpen­
ter, manager of the airport, is gath­
ering 100 members for the Economy

ship set at $25 and $10 a month for

The plan is ex­
perimental, Carpenter said, its pur­
pose being to make it possible for
anyone to learn (lying.
