 KENTUCKY BLUE-GRASS AT THE ILLINOIS EXPERIMENT 

 STATION. (MORROW AND HUNT) 



149. Yields of hay. Blue-grass is too small to give 

 large yields of hay and is seldom employed for such pur- 

 pose, excepting where it comes in naturally. The hay is 

 considered to be of good quality, but not equal to timothy. 



Yields in pounds to the acre have been reported by ex- 

 periment stations as follows : Ohio, 2187, 6-year average ; 

 Kansas, 1830, 2-year average; Michigan (Upper Penin- 

 sula), 3280; Guelph, Ontario, 3160, 7-year average; 

 Utah, 1060 ; Lacombe, Alberta, 1724, 2-year average. 



At the Illinois Experiment Station Kentucky blue-grass 

 gave a yield of 2508 pounds dry matter to the acre when 



1 24,320 lb. in 1890. 2 21,880 lb. in 1890. 3 Sulfate of potash in 1890.
