Four Cuttings a Year.

Here are the results of his cuttings
last year which show what the grass
will do: First cutting June 4, the
grass was five feet high; second cut
ting, July 4. the grass was four feet
high; third cutting, August 3, the
grass was 3i2 feet high; fourth cut
ting was on September 4, the grass
was more than four feet high. The
different cuttings aggregated six tons
to the acre, and the grass has made
record of making ten tons to the
acre. 1t will make two seed crops in
one year. II should be drilled thirty
inches apart, says Mr. Abernathy, and
cultivated. \ farmer who has only
a handful of seed can get a good
start in one year by planting the seed
one in a place three feet apart, and
when the grass grows up To a con
siderable height, cut it down as a
mower would cut il, and as many as
400 plants will come from the root,
and the plants will cover the ground. |
although they were planted three feet |
apart The heads will mature at diff |
ferent times and they can be cut and |
placed in sack as they mature. A
large crop where seed is plentiful. is
not handled in this manner.
