Holds its leaves well and produces a full 
erop the first season. Tt is an annual, re- 
seeds indefinitely although closely grazed. Tt 
is highly recommended for the upper South 
where the seasons are shorter and the sun 
less severe. Korean is especially good for sec- 
tions with short growing Seasons, because it 
matures its seed crop earlier than the others. 
Tt produces on all soil types where the com- 
mon varieties grow, but in producing Korean 
for hay, fertile soil will give much greater re- 
turn. if Korean is used in permanent pas- 
ture mixtures, the seed may be planted with 
other grasses and clovers in the spring, us- 
jing from 5 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. 
When sown alone broadcast 25 Ibs. to the

months to plant. Due to severe drought in
