2. Delay of cutting after June 1st decreased the protein content 

 of the forage and increased the crude fiher content. This confirms results 

 previously published by this Station on this forage specie (6) . 



3. The temperature differences at Groveton and Northwood, favor- 

 ed an earlier growth at the latter location as evidenced by greater yields 

 for the first two cutting dates. Growth of both varieties of forage lagged 

 by about 10 days in Groveton as compared to Northwood. Consequently,
