GRASSES AND FODDER PLANTS. 



The yield of native hay throughout the Province was larger during the past 

 year than in 1889 ; still many of the meadows are either drying up or becoming 

 exhausted, and the demand for substitutes is still increasing. Considerable attention 

 has therefore been given to grasses and fodder plants. 



CULTIVATED GRASSES. 



Of the 12 varieties of cultivated grasses sown in 1889, only the following sur- 

 vived the wintei-: — Tall, Hard and Meadow Fescues, Timothy and Kentucky blue 

 grass. The Fe-^cues made very liitle growth, and were only fit for pasture. The 

 Timothy ^^iel'ied al)out 1^ tons per acre. The Kentucky Blue grass was very thin 

 in spring, l>ut thickened out during summer and remained quite green until late in 

 Novemboi-. This is a very promising pasture grass. Of the clovei-s sown in 1889, 

 Comm-M) Red and Lucerne, being somewhat sheltered, survived the winter and gave 

 two cuttinics, but the )3lots were too small for accurate returns to be obtained. 



In May of this j'car, 12 vai-ieties of grans and 9 varieties of clover were sown 

 with spring wheat; all germinated readily, and were looking thrifty when winter 

 set in.
