Fewer Acres,

College Station. — Pastures
treated with phoaphate fertiliser
will produce more, and more nu-
tritious forage wttt provide more
protein per animal and will carry
more animate on fewer acres. All
this, according te M. K. Thornton,
is in addition to grass of better
bone quality.
Bone building waa all that wna

On the basts of data collected hy
the Texas Agt (cultural Experi-
ment Elation ob an experimental
plot near Beaumont, Thornton
calculated that:
Cows on pastures fertilised
wlht 100 pounds of 20 per cent
superphosphate consumed 105
more pounds of protein — the
equivalent of 383 pounds of cot-
tonseed meal—In 300 gmsing
days than did cows on adjacent
unfertilised pastures.
The fertilised pastures produc-
ed 4,570 pounds of dry forage per
acre as compared with 2,002
pounds per unfertilised acre, an
increase of 2,508 pounds.
