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

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.

ter, manager of the airport, is gath
