 ing. Had dry matt-sr be-sn deterffiimsd doubtl«8s there 

 would have b©sn found a greater per cent of dry substance 

 in the pigeon grass than in the corn. But the yield of 

 corn fodder on the plats is comparable, and shows a marked 

 reduction. The Naw Hapshire Station (Bui, 71, 54) 

 compared two plats of eorn, both cultivated j but ia one 

 wi^ch grass was allowed to grow, while in the other the 

 grass was cut with a hoe. The results follow in Table II.

The grass caused a reduction in yield of both stover 

 and shelled corn. The yield of stover in the plat not 

 hoed was 77,6 per cent of that whenehoed and the yield of 

 Shelled corn 75.2 per cent, thus showing a slightly 

 greater reduction percentagely of shelled com than of 

 stover. The same Station (Bui. 71, 50) compared corn 

 with no cultivation, weeds being permitted to grow, with 

 eom cultivated. The results follow in Table III,
