B. Battle, Director, Raleigh, N. FORAGE GRASSES AND HAY-MAKING. I. TESTS OF FORAGE THE FORMATION AND CARE OF GRASS HAYING TOOLS AND HAY-MAKING. By GERALD MCCARTHY, Botanist, and F. E. EMERY, Agriculturist. I. TESTS OF FORAGE GENERAL STATEMENTS. Bulletin 98 of this Station, issued in 1894, gave the results ofseveral years plat tests of various leguminous forage plants. Thepresent bulletin deals with grasses which were tested upon a simi-lar series of plats, but which, on account of their slower growth,required a longer trial. As in the case of the legumines, the grasses were tested upon bothlowland and upland plats. The lowland plats were under the con-trol of the Botanist; the upland plats under the control of the Ag-riculturist of the Station. In this report, the results of both seriesare consolidated, and may be taken as a fair estimate of the agri-cultural value of these grasses for the common red-clay upland soils
