Viewed from these latter contents the hay Nos. I and 
III can hardly be classified as “ rather poor,” because their 
content of digestible protein is too low, while the specimen 
No. II well deserves to be called “ medium good.” The 
general result of our investigation shows that the hay 
obtained from the roadsides, dykes and ditches of paddy 
fields has a lower quality than that which is regarded in 
central Europe as medium good.
