Outfield Pasture Experiment Is Set Up Near Dry Prong (By G. C.
Smith, Grant Parish Agent) COLFAX, May outfield pasture experiment has been up cn the place of Dr. D. Donaldson, near Dry Prong, consisting of 100 acres of hill land, treated with varying amounts of different kinds of fertilizers and lime and seeded with different kinds of adapted grasses and lespedeza. This is being done by the Louisiana experiment station in coperation with Dr. Donaldson to demonstrate how hill lands may be made to produce profitable pastures for livestock on cut-over lands of Central Louisiana.
Since acreage reduction of cotton has become necessary, due to world-wide conditions, farmers are at know what market, they may put their idle lands in that would be profitable. A few have adopted pasture improvement as an alternative and have found it profitable, but the rank and file are in need of definite information about these matters and it is to supply this information that this pasture test is being conducted by the experiment station. Many farmers in Grant, parish are manifesting a deal of interest in this test as they are anxious to find out new facts about land usage that might serve them to good advantage in changing from cotton farming to that of some other type better suited to the needs of the times. The parish agent has forty farmers in the hill sections of Grant parish who are conducting pasture improvement work under his direction and that of the Soil Conservation Service and all are convinced that this is one of the most profitable ways in which to utilize idle acres that are being retired from cotton under AAA programs. It is becoming apparent to everyone that has tried it that twenty times much land can be farmed in pastures and meadows as can be operated in row crops requiring constant attention that returns from pastures and livestock are as great or greater than from the row crop system.
Labor conditions are such that farmers are no longer able to secure the necessary help for row crop farming. Accordingly pasture work receives ready attention when mentioned to these men who have more land than they can tend in the old way. Soft Coal Miners Return to Work By the Associated Press Back to the mines was the order of the day in the soft coal industry following a month's idleness occasioned by wage dispute.
