The No. 1 field which has been out six years. had a light coat of manure and about 225 pounds per acre of 6-12-12 fertil- izer around July 12.
The No. 2 field is the most in- teresting as it has been out 25 years, and will likely be left un-i broken for a long time to come, as part of it is on a side hill and the spring freshets used to cut a drain through it. It was sown to grain 28 years ago and they took two crops of hay off it be- fore turning it over to pasture.
The field was mudded more than 70 years ago and had not needed lime until an application of one ton to the acre was ap- plied in 1961. The Furness peo- ple had had the field soil tested
about six years ago, and e soil laboratory found that no lime was nee . It was to p

The No. 3 field of s e ve n acres has been out 17 years. It has had top dressing on most of it this year and an application of fertilizer in early July.
The fourth pasture field was seeded with orchard grass in ad- II.th to the normal hayseed. clover seed and alsike mixture
grass normally won’t c o m e back so fast then, although it did the past summer because of so much moisture. He clipped once early in June and again about mid-July.
He manured one field in the spring and clipped it before he turned the cattle on to it. had to put a side delivery rake on it to break up the clumps of manure. He uses a link harrow in s prin g, but it's not much good in summer when the drop- pings are so soft. Mr. Mayne is thinking of using the three cart- wheel tire assembly in an effort to spread the droppings more ef- fectively. or possibly a set spike harrows tipped u p side down.

Emerald man whose brother. Leland, just across the county- line road in Prince County found he could not get his cows to graze anywhere else but on the one-half of his Iii-acres of pasture land which he fertilized.
He does not use any special pasture grass mixture. He turn- ed his cattle out the last of May and left them out until the bad weather this month. Mr. Mayne feeds one-half gallon of crushed oats to his cows after the first of August. He believes that one gallon to one and one-half gal- lons would have been helpful because the grass was so wet most of the year.
The Emerald man suggests a meeting with other farmers to discuss pasture experiences would be helpful. He limed 1,500 pounds to the acre, according to soil laboratory recommenda- tions but wonders if anything less than one ton to the acre is
t much good.
He has 100 acres of cleared land and keeps 35 or more cat- tle that are pastured on the back of his farm on a patch that
