THE following article in tlie N.S.W. 

 "Agricultural Gazette/' by Mr. V. 

 Quirk, manager. Berry Stud inirin. 

 New South Wales, deals with the advan- 

 tages to be derived from the cultivation 

 of Paspalum dilatatum : — 



Now that the enormous extension of 

 the dairying industry has made the sow- 

 ing of artificial pastures so important a 

 matter, and as the season for laying down 

 permanent pastures is upon us, the sub- 

 ject IS one that is discussed largely by 

 the farmers, and information sought 

 alter. In travelling through the South 

 Coast, one cannot help being struck very 

 forcibly by the invariable remark by old 

 residents and practical dairyman— "Our 

 lands will not hold artificial orasses as 

 they did years ago." The remark is only 

 too true. Where at one time might be 

 •seen waving fields of rye-grass, cocksfoot. 



e un- 



and clovers, are now growing tli_ 

 sightly and undesirable tussocks, and the 

 low-lying fields are covered m many cases 

 with what is commonly called water- 

 couch or swamp-grass. 



This is a bad state of affairs, and again 

 only too apparent in such an important 

 dairying district. The farmers are 

 realising it from a financial standpoint ; 

 =0 we are looking around us for a new 

 move. We have been told our lands re- 

 quire iiKiiuiriiig. This is very well in 

 theory, but will not suit the pockets of 

 small farmers, who could not afford to 

 use artificial manures on (say) from 100 

 to 100 acres— a l)ig item. Now I really 

 t link tlie salvation of the South Coast 

 dairying industry lies in new o-r;,,^ses suit- 

 able to our lands, and l)elieve the fore- 

 most of those are Pn.ywJam dilatatum, 

 one of the most valuable grasses ever 

 introduced into Australia, which is the
