Pasture Problems 



surpassed without seeding, the figures do not suggest that the larger 

 seeding is necessarily advantageous. 



Cichorium Intybus. 1-2 lbs. per acre only leaves traces after four 

 years. 



Poterium Sanguisorba. 3 lbs. on shale left traces after four years ; 

 5 lbs. on clay drift left nothing to show after four years. 



B. Fields below 600' (chiefly above 200') on Soils 



DERIVED FROM ShALE. 



The data available are not so extensive as for the higher elevations. 

 Over twenty-five fields have, however, been investigated; the results 

 obtained from the use of a comparatively simple mixture are set out 

 in Table V. 



Table V. To show seeds mixture used and the contribution to the herbage 

 of the several species on fields from one to eight years down to grass at 

 400'-500' above sea level. All the fields received farmyard and 

 phosphatic manures. 



* Figures = percentage productiveness. f Figures = percentage frequency. 



X Dactylis and Phleum not included in the mixture. 



§ Mostly Poa trivialis. ^J Includes 3 % Lotus corniculatus.
