Improve Pastures Contour Furrowing To In- crqase Grazing Capacity Of Land Used Pasture improvement work has engaged the attention of Texas farmers and ranchmen and is proving of great value, according to the reports of county agricultural agents in that territory under whose supervision the vrork is being done. One hundred acres of pasture land has been contour-listed by Lynn Pace, Haskell county fann- er and stockman. Pace said that after recent rains the 100 acres held the' rainfall, whereas' before the land was treated the water had been running off. The lister furrows of this grass land were 42 Inches apart. A good example of the value of fcontour furrowing in increasing the grazing capacity of pasture land can be seen on the land leased by V.

Gladish of Dal lam county, according to Joseph M. Hatton, county agricultural agent. Several years ago it was dedttefl, to, put this land into cultivation but the plans were changed tatter a narrow strip had been plowed -through the pasture. At this time the plowed strip is much heavier sodded than other land in the pasture and Gladish estimates that it affords two or three times as much grazing as any other equal area in the pasture. Fifteen Moore county farmers carried pasture furrowing demonstrations in 1936 and each one was pleased with the results and plans to do more year.

R. A. Weiss did an unusually good job on his 120 acre pasture, reports A. P. Bralley, county agricultural agent.

Weiss cut some old litscr points from 14 to 9 inches in by using these without the mold-boards of his three row list- er from which he had removed the center lister, he was able to make good furrows at intervals of 7 feet for retaining extra rainfall.
