County Soil
Conservation
District News
S. Barron of Henrys Chapel has
developed a high producing bot-
tomland pasture. Barron seeded
this pasture to Kentucky 31 Fes-
cue and Louisiana S-l White Clo-
ver. The pasture has been limed
and fertilized. Soils tests were re-
cently made to determine the kind
and amount of fertilizer to apply
this spring. Cross fences make it
possible for Barron to control the
grazing on all his pastures.
Soil Conservation Service tech-
nicians, W. A. Collins and John
Coleman, asssited John Hedge-
caugh of Troup construct one mile
of terraces this past week. In ad-
dition to the terraces, Hedgecaugh
is making preparations to set out
10 acres of Coastal Bermudagrass
as a part of his conservation plan
In a recent meeting of the
Cherokee County Soil Conserva-
tion District Board of Supervisors,
plans were made for the annual
awards banquet. This will be the
fourth year for this affair. Men,
women, boys and girls will be rec-
ognized for outstanding work in
agriculture and rural life. A defi-
nite date and winners of the aw-
ards will be announced later.
A bermuda setting demonstra-
tion was held on the J. I. Dean
farm near Forest this past week.
The following men attended: A.
L. Looney, R. R. 'Todd, David Jo-
aey, L. C. Arlington, F. Dial, A.
W. Coker, Will A, Collins and J.
I. Dean. A new type bermuda
transplanter was demonstrated.
Now is a good time to prepare
land for spring planting of Coast-
al Bermuda, Lovegrass and Les-
pedeza.
Hardy Long and George Dear of
Troup have an excellent field of
Lovegrass on their farm. This
grass has afforded good grazing
this winter.
Jack Maxwell of Jacksonville re-
cently completed a farm pond on
his farm.
Steve Lilly, Cherokee County
Extension Agent, recently point-
ed out the comparative forage
yields of Common and Coastal
Bermuda at two experiment sta-
tions in East Texas. At Kirbyville
during 1953 and 1954, Common
Bermuda averaged 4230 lbs. dry
weight per acre. Coastal averaged
6365 lbs. At Mt. Pleasant in a four
year test. Common averaged 4660
lbs. and Coastal averaged 8770
lbs. per acre. The grasses received
the same treatment. The differ-
ence in yield at both stations
would amount to about 40 bales
more hay per acre from the Coast-
al Bermuda.
