MEADOW FESCUE. - / 205 



this grass based on American experience is very meagre. 

 In meadows it is of less importance than in permanent 

 pastures because of the comparative infrequency of the 

 former. In permanent pastures in which it is desired to 

 give this grass considerable prominence if the grazing is 

 not close the heads which escape the grazing will pro- 

 duce seed, which, when it falls down, will in due season 

 germinate under many conditions and will in this way 

 increase the grass in the pasture.
