According to these analyses the hay made from the 
earthnut plant, hagi, kudzu and kusafuji constitutes a very 
nutritious fodder for the farm animals, while the vines of 
the batatas and the stems of the cotton and egg plant can¬ 
not be used for this purpose and are, in fact, mostly burnt 
directly on the field or made to compost. Of the wild 
plants, kaya, sasa, kudzu, hagi, etc., which grow on un¬ 
cultivated land, are applied as green manures chiefly to 
paddy fields, or in the preparation of compost in later 
stages of growth, in autumn, they are chiefly used as ash. 
1) Hay, cured before blossom. 2) Vines taken when the tubers were ripe. 
3) Stems with a few leaves, cut when thejfruits had been harvested. 4) Stems, almost 
destitute of leaves, cut when the cotton was ripe. 5) Still fully green, when the nuts 
were harvested- G) Hay, cut at the end of June. Î) Vines cut in t lie beginning of 
September, 8) Hay cured before blossom.
