Grasses In the South.

One good result of the enforced
economy among southern planters is
the matter of grasses. For long time
the south was regarded as unfit for
grass production, although men here
and there demonstrated its falsity. Mr.
Hilyard, northern man, but for many
years resident of the south, proved By
actual and frequent experiments not
only was this section q great grass
country, but perhaps the greatest in
the world. He showed that the south
in her more favored regions, surpasse,
the north in cultivation of the grasses
and forage crops grown there, and that
abe had numerous plants of that kird
which the north could not successfully
produce. 1t has been proven by an
elysis, by facts and figures, that our
Bermuda grass is far more nutritious
than the famous timothy.-Augusts
