TREES ON PASTURE 
Perhaps one of the greatest sources of loss of fertility 
from pasture soils results from the poor location of shade 
trees and brush, according to the author of The Grazing 
Industry of the Rluegrass Region, a bulletin recently 
published by the department. Trees and brush, he 
states, should always he set on the higher portions of the 
field and not along the banks of running streams, as so 
often is the case. With good grass, the animals do not 
graze more than one-third of the time; the rest of the 
time is spent lying down or standing in the shade fight¬ 
ing flies. Hence much of the manure that is made does 
not get back directly on the land that produced the grass. 
If the manure produced while the animals are not graz¬ 
ing is deposited on the tops of the hills, its beneficial ef¬ 
fects on the grass may be noted for several rods down 
the hillsides. It is easy to believe that if one-half to 
two-thirds of the manure is lost from pasture fields and 
none is added, the crops must gradually deteriorate.
