SEEDING NEW PASTURES 
CHOOSING THE LOCATION—Pastures may be produced on most 
any land if the proper species of plants are used, the soil reaction 
is right, and the proper amount and kind of fertilizer is used. 
When there is a limited area of plowable land, it is usually ad- 
visable to seed pastures on soils that are unsuitable for other 
erops. 
FERTILIZING AND LIMING—Apply 400 to 500 pounds of a 4-12-4 
fertilizer or the equivalent when sowing the seed. The second 
year after seeding, begin the treatment for maintaining and im- 
proving old sods. Except in rare cases, soils require lime when 
establishing new pastures. Apply one to two tons of ground lime- 
stone or the equivalent per acre, uSing a soil test to determine the 
amount. 
OF FEED FOR LIVESTOCK 
Sow on all fall seeded grain crops during February, 
or alone during late February, March and early April.

PREPARING THE SEEDBED—Plow or disk the land, depending 
upon which is necessary to prepare a good seedbed. Do not plow 
more than 6 to 8 inches deep. If the land is steep, use a disk har- 
row instead of a plow. Before seeding, follow disk with a culti- 
packer roller, or drag, So as to make a compact seedbed. A com- 
pact seedbed cannot be stressed too much. Sow between middle of 
February and April 1st. 
HANDLING PASTURES—Make an initial application of 300 to 
600 pounds of 20 per cent superphosphate or the equivalent per 
acre, followed by 300 pounds per acre per year until a good soil is 
Sere If potash is needed, apply an equal amount of 0-14-7 
or 0-12-12. 
For dairy cows, 150 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or the 
equivalent per acre in addition to the superphosphate is often 
advisable. 
In February or early March, broadcast 5 to 10 pounds of Korean 
lespedeza per acre on sods that have a poor stand of grass. 
Keep weeds down by clipping the pasture at least once during 
the season. Graze closely, but do not overgraze. And do not graze 
too early in the spring or too late in the fall.
