coast, succeeding both in dry and moist 

 soils. The rapid use of the grass has 

 been handicapped by the lack of a 

 source of seed supply. Prof. Piper dis- 

 covered that Bahia grass is the domi- 

 nant pasture grass of western Cuba, 

 making up the lawns and pastures there 

 in about the same proportion as does 

 blue grass in Kentucky and Iowa. The 

 pastures were closely grazed, indicating 

 the high palatability of the grass, a 

 fact also evident in experimental plats 

 in Florida and observed by South Amer- 

 ican agronomists. The indication is 

 that it has high nutritive value, in- 

 < ri-asing the flow of milk and fattening 

 lidth slu't'p and cattle. 



The <>ri'at abundance of the grass in 

 Cuba makes this a iiroiiiisiiig source of 

 seed supply, and vigorous efforts will be 

 made to 'stimulate the harvesting of 

 aliundaut su]i]iiies to meet the demand 

 in Florida.
