Mr.. l.. Chamberlain, of the Board,
lectured on the "Grass Crop
Grass is the king of crops in the world
at large. The hay and grass crop OF
Maine is worth annually not less than 50
millions of dollars; but still il is apparent
that this is much smaller amount than
it should be.
First in Importance for the success OF
the hay crop. is undertaking. We thus
save large amount of heat and ammonia
in the ground. Grass stands cold and
wet better than other crops. but still il
thriyes better when it has only the proper
quantity of moisture. The depth OF the
soil is also increased by undertaking,
and the admission of the air assists in the
decomposition Of the mineral and vegeta
be properties in he ground.
A fair return must lie made TO the land
for the value extracted in the hay crop.
Stable manure does not furnish all the
elements needed for this, however, as it
does not contain all the elements to
nourish the grass The more hay, the
more manure, and if YOU have no, manure
enough To dress well your grass lands, do
not cultivate other crops 50 extensively
for year or two.
Grass seed terminates best at the depth
