Hungarian Grass.

Our friend Freas of the Ge,naantoaom f6le-
graph, in late editorial, holds out the
idea that the common millet is superior to
Hungarian grass as a hay crop. We think
the Major is wrong here. We find Hunga-
rian grass not so high and coarse as the
old fashioned millet, and at the same time
having four times the bulk of leaves. For
two years past we have found it very diff
iicult to obtain the seed, except when
mixed with the millet to some extent
When grown together we have always
found the Millet to grow the highest, and
to make the longest heads, supported by
an almost lealless stalk. The greatest adj
vantage in favor Of the Hungarian is the
large amount of leaf it forms.
