Ross a pasture which is neither Well grazed nor mown is soon overrun with weeds. The pasture grasses and White Clover Are not Hurt by being kept reasonably i Short but. Such treatment is very hard on the coarser weeds Many of Winch Are resistant to chemicals. If mowed Early Hie roots of the weeds Are weakened seedling is largely prevented and the livestock often will eat the second growth along with the Glass. Uneaten grass soon shoots into head and becomes unpalatable but1 if clipped before the weather becomes too hot and dry it will Send up a new growth of fresh Green Blades and make More arid better pasture throughout the summer. The most valuable part of permanent pasture is the White Clover and it smothers out if the grass gets too a Large. Areas kept Well grazed always have the most Clover and Are most attractive to the livestock Early and close mowing helps to maintain a High Lier cent age of Clover in the pastures. The Clover can Supply the grass with a fairly adequate amount of nitrogen making special application of nitrogenous fertilizer unnecessary. Orchard grass pastures which have gone to seed Are almost worthless but ii clip died it develops new growth. One of the most important Means of holding a Good stand of ladino Clover with Orchard grass is to mow the tall smothering growth of grass As soon As it is Well in head. Cattle pick up and eat some of these partly dry pasture clippings. If the pasture is mown a Little at e time much of the clippings can Cie utilized in this Way. Of they Are very heavy the clipping had better be raked up and removed to prevent smothering the pasture. In mowing pasture tile Mower should be set to Cut As closely As convenient. This prevents tile stubble from interfering with future grazing and keeps weeds from sprouting out below the Cut. Com i i wow milk production in May All time Peak for state More milk was produced on Pennsylvania farms during May than for any other one month since the keep j ing of records was started in 1924, according to the Federal state crop reporting service in tile slate department of agriculture. Shipment of milk to Market was much above a year previous a june i Survey revealed. Increased quantities were being diverted to tile manufacture of Dairy products resulting in a lower average return per hundredweight to the producer. It was Learned.

Federal state records disclosed. The number of milk cows on Pennsylvania farms on june i was e timoted at 964.000, insufficient rainfall in Northwestern and Central Pennsylvania counties the first three weeks in May hindered growth of pastures and Hay crops the department said.
