A MANUAL OF FARM GRASSES 



TABLE III 



ACREAGE, PRODUCTION, AND VALUE OF HAY AND FORAGE 

 FOR 1901 BY CLASSES 



The taking of a census is an enormous task. All 

 farmers are aware of the number and variety of questions 

 asked by the enumerators. At each census a greater 

 variety of statistics is gathered than at the preceding, 

 and we may hope that in future censuses a still further 

 classification of the forage crops may be possible. The 

 instructions issued to the census clerks contain the fol- 

 lowing in regard to hay and forage crops: 



(a) Tabulate as "clover alone" all crops reported after that 

 designation, as well as all reported as "alsike," "red clover," 

 "crimson clover;" also other clovers unmixed with other 

 grasses. The same crops reported as mixed with timothy or 

 herd's grass should be tabulated as "timothy and clover 

 mixed." When reported as mixed with grasses other than 

 timothy or herd's-grass, they should be tabulated as "other 

 tame or cultivated grasses." 



(6) Tabulate as "other lame or cultivated grasses" all 

 crops reported after that designation, as well as all reported 

 as "redtop," "June-grass," "orchard-grass," "blue-grass," 

 and "Johnson-grass;" also all combinations of these grasses 

 with any of the clover crops mentioned in paragraph a, 

 preceding, or with timothy.
