Brazilian FORAGE Plant.

The most productive hay or fodder

months from planting. 1t can be moved
down when it rea hes five or six feet in
height, and will grow up again so quick
ly, especially under irrigation, that
from three to five cuttings can be Sc
cured in season, with good care and
cultivation it will produce thirty ton
to the acre, This plant is grown ex-
tensively in South America and Mexico
for forage purposes. 1t has never been
grown this far north or in the United
States to my knowledge. One pound of
seed covers an acre sown broadcast or in
