IS unsurpassed. It is coarse it 
allowed to npeu seed, but it 
cut in the bloom is liritcht ami 
highly nutritious. If sown 
with clover, as Ls often prac- 
ticed, it has to be cut before 
full development, being later, 
and thus tnere U a los.s in re- 
turns. It does best on loamy 
soils. It is a large producer, two or three tons of hay bcung frequently 
made; the aftermath is, however, light. It is keenly relished by all
