This Grass is a native of THE CONGO and Sierra Leone and is somewhat similar in appearance to NAPIER’S FODDER, with the added simarv taste of the SUGAR CANE. It stands the cold weather am heat, and will weather the driest seasons. Does well on sand, gravel, swampN or stony land, and no sod seems too poor foi it. Faimeis DL? - and NEW ZEALAND say it makes the cows give MORE AND RICHER MILK THAN ANY OTHER GRASS. Horses and cattle will leave other grasses to eat it, sheep will run after you for it. It makes a splendid shelter for cattle horses, or sheep if planted in row on weather side of paddock. i PALAT ABILITY AND FEEDING VALUE. The appearance of Congo Sugar Grass is extremely deceptive._ At first sight it looks unpalatabc, hut that it is not so is proved by official investigations under varving conditions, and also by the numerous reports submitted by farmers. This Grass is as palatable as many other well-known glasses, that cattle will eat it and do well on it is beyond question. Its palataIjjlitv appears to b 0 greatest in its young, more succulent stages, \\hen it reaches a height of 7 feet or over its woodiness is against it, though even under these conditions the softer ends of the stalks and leaves arc readily eaten. Sheep appear to like the grass least ol all when other grassesi « e about, but they will eat it and thrive on it when other feed is not abundant. CARRYING CAPACITY. A fodder that will produce 70 to 80 tons (90 tons has been cut) of green feed per acre in a season must necessarily have a good carrying capacity. It is verv difficult to obtain the actual carrying capacity of Die grass owing to it having to bo fed off at intermittent periods. It may be said Lint when 0 feet high it requires to be very heavily stocked to ensure it "Cing eaten down. The cows should then be removed until the grass has made new growth, ill the winter months no growth L made, but during the summer this grass will maintain ten to twelve cows per acre at periodical intervals. If planted out (j to 8 feet apart it will give more feed to the acre than any other grass or fodder, and has no gassy or other harmful eflects. It is ideal for silage. Samples of this grass may be planted now. 25 PLANTS FOR 20/-; 50 FOR 35/-; K!0 FOR, CO/-. 700 PLANTS. £l2 5/-, WILL PLANT HALF ACRE. 1000 WILL PLANT ONE ACRE PERMANENTLY FOR £2O.
