Summary of Coefficients of Sudan Hay — Concluded. 



Results at Texas Experiment Station. 



In the above trials an effort was made to note the digestibility of Sudan 

 grass cut at successive stages of growth. The results do not indicate any- 

 particular difference. The second cutting of hay appeared to be more 

 digestible than the first. Whether this would hold true in all cases is of 

 course not estabUshed. It is just thfe opposite from the results secured 

 with the green Sudan grass. The probability is that much will depend 

 upon the climatic conditions prevailing during gro^vth. If the weather 

 should be warm, with plenty of sunlight and moisture, it is possible that 

 the second growth would fully equal and perhaps exceed the first growi;h 

 in digestibility.
