= OUR SOIL ★ OUR STRENGTH =
By Cliff Marcus
Farmers in a livestock farm
ing enterprise should make good
perennial pastures a part of their
farm conservation program. A
well established and well manag
ed pasture will provide for the
most economical source of feed
for livestock, will build up soil
fertility, control erosion on slop
ing land, and will help to con
trol noxious weeds.
Pastures are the best bet for
land that is steep, shallow, or
having a wetness condition. In
fact, pasture is a good crop to
use on your very best land.
A good pasture should be es
tablished by using a mixture of
grasses and legumes suited to.
the soil, climate, and area. Pas
tures should be seeded on a firm,
moist, weed-free seedbed. Seed
ing should be done when mois
ture is plentiful. Legume seed
should be inoculated. Seed should
be planted with a drill or a grass
legume seeder. If the seed is
broadcasted, the ground should
be cultipacked before and after
seeding.
Cultipacking the ground helps
to retain valuable moisture and
give the seed a better chance for
germination. All seeding should
be shallow, % inch to 1 inch
deep. The pasture should be al
lowed to get firmly established
before grazing and preferably not
graned until the second year.
Once the pasture is established
a good grazing management pro
gram should be followed.
For advice or recommendations
on seeding perennial pastures
consult your local S Conser
vation Service technician.

“Matanuska Valley homemak

Miss Scudder, who comes from
the Federal Extension Service
as director of home economics

tension program of home and
family living.
Program entertainment was

pede,” recently written by Don

Why people who love CONVERTIBLES buy FORD
Only Ford lets you choose from a steel-top
convertible or a fabric-top beauty. Who else
but Ford . . . world’s largest convertible
maker . . . could offer you two different
kinds of convertibles. There’s the fabric
top Ford Sunliner and the steel-top Ford
Skyliner. They’re both styled and powered
in the Thunderbird tradition.
Nowhere else can you find so much con
vertible for so little money. Take the Ford
Sunliner for example. A comparison of
manufacturers’ suggested retail delivered
prices shows it’s America’s lowest-priced
convertible. As for the Skyliner, it’s the
world’s only 2-in-l fine car ... a snug
steel-top and a breezy convertible. Just
touch a button. The all-steel top vanishes
into the rear deck . . . and you’re sitting
pretty in the smartest convertible ever.
So if you're the sun-worshiping type, better
see your Ford Dealer and get all the rea
sons why Ford outsells its nearest com
petitor in convertibles by a whopping
2-to-l margin!
