 dryer regions it does well under irrigation. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENT 



Thanks are due to Prof. C. V. Piper, Agrostologist, Bureau 

 Plant Industry, for supplying much of the seed used in these 

 experiments. The U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry has distri- 

 buted packets of Rhodes grass seed to all sections of the State 

 and has aided the farmers in securing larger quantities of seed 

 where they wished to try it on an extensive scale. Seedsmen 

 of the South are now advertising it in their catalogues so that 

 everyone wishing to do so can try it out for themselves. The 

 Experiment Station has none of the seed or plants for sale or 

 distribution.
