green forage per acre, 40,000 pounds at the Mississippi station, and 
in Louisiana over 100,000 pounds. During droughty seasons it will 
not do well, and it will not pay to plant it in poor soil. (See fig. 6.) 
CONCLUSION. 
The foregoing statements report several fairly successful experi- 
ments made at the grass and forage plant ‘station during three years 
from March 19, 1898, to March 19, 1901. As to the very large num- 
ber of tests that did not give satisfactory results, it is hardly necessary 
to go into details. The impracticability of doing so will be under- 
stood in the light of the statement that quite 1,500 tests altogether 
were made during the term mentioned. In 1900, and to March 19, 
1901, there were kept with the experimental work alone 656 separate 
accounts.
