A New Forage Plant

A new forage plant of value to
Florida has been discovered by c.
+. Pleas, of Chipley, Washington
County, who has been growing the
Japanese Kudzu plant for the last
eight years, first as all ornamental
vine for trellses or arbors and now
as a forage plant superior to velvet
bean or COW peas. All live stock
eat it greedily. 1t is of marvel
lousy rapid growth, young shoots
having been known to make a
growth of two feet a day.
The Kudzu is a perennial and
once established is always with you
making fine pasture the entire
year or a succession of crops if cut
for hay. The leaves are killed by
frost, but the plant quickly sprouts
up from the roots when warm
weather comes. The trampling OF
stock does not injure the plants SC
but what they spring UP from the
roots.
The Kudzu is propogated by
planting the rooted joints some
what as sweet potatoes are planted
from slips, but the kudzu is plant
ed OH level ground about five fee
apart in rows. After the first yea
no cultivation is needed.
Mr.. Pleas believes he has dis
covered a forage plant that vii
revolutionize stock raising in Flor
/ ida. He made an exhibit of some
of the hay and bits of the vine a
the State Fair at Tampa this year
and is hoping to get farmers thro
out the State to try this wonderf'.
plant. We do not know if he has
plants to sell, but feel sure ht
would give any information in his
power as to where a start could be
obtained. Write c. +. Pleas,
Chipley, if you are infested.
