PASTURES FOR PROFIT 
It is not unusual for a good cattleman or dairyman to make the statement that good pastures repre- 
sent to him the real difference between a profit and a loss. A good well-balanced pasture will supply 
certain efficient proteins, minerals and vitamins to your livestock at a greater saving than any other 
method. This means better health to your cattle and at the same time protects and improves your soil. 
Most Experiment Stations are alert as to the importance of pasture plants and as a rule are conduct- 
ing tests on various grasses and clovers or have conducted tests to learn the ones best adapted to 
their area. It is therefore wise, should you intend planting a new pasture or improving an old one to 
visit or write your nearest station before proceeding with your plans or investing in seeds. 
It is also possible that some cattleman in your immediate area has a pasture of known carrying ca- 
pacity and we feel sure that he as a neighbor will give you full information as to his success or pos- 
sibly relate some of his failures. It is wise to gather all the worthwhile data available. 
Ocasionally you will read articles on new grasses that are promising and which usually sell at ex- 
ceptionally high prices. Our suggestion is to try only a limited amount in a test plot before investing 
too heavily. Prove to yourself that it is a grass you want and not one that will not stand the test of 
time for a good pasture is a lasting investment. 
If interested, but unable to following these suggestions, consult your County Agent; he is interested 
in your progress. If unable to contact him write your A & M College or write us and we will give 
you the best information we have.
