About that time the Division of Chemistry in co-operation with the Division of Botany instituted a re- search which had for its object the determination of the stage of growth at which grasses should be cut for hay 1. e, the period at which the greatest amount of digestible pro- tein is available. Of later years a new application of t 8 I I ion has the results of this roves, gat , been found in the so-called "close i grazing" system of pasturage. In several countries, notably Germany and England this system of pastor- 1 age has recently been tried out. By this plant it was expected that grass lands could be made to furnish a fairly high protein concentrate in the form of very young grass in con- tinuous supplies. This is done by 1 cropping the area fairly close, mov- ing the animals, heavily fertilizing 1 with nitrogenous fertilizers e. g. nitrate of, soda, and allowing the grass, to grow ray a fortnght, before I again chopping. An expeiiment con- ducted by this Division of Chemistry, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, during the summer of 1927-28 to obtain Canadian data on this subject, has given some interrstinv results. Of ;four plots,• one cut weekly ; one, I fortnightly ; one every third week and one as hay, the plot cut every 1 third week furnished the largest' ant- I ount of digestible dry matter and of protein, during the summer of 1927.{ While the final results for 1928 cannot yet be stated they differ in some respects for those of the pro- ceeding summer. From the data for , •1927 and 1928, however, it is evi- dent, that the greatest amount of digestible protein comes from grass of, say, 4. inches in height, but that the period of growth rot -mired will vary with climatic conditions, notab- ly heat and rainfall. The plots' in 1928 also furnished abundant evidence, that continued cropping, results in the spread of clover, especially white clover, a leg- ume of high protein content Close -grazing has its practical dif- ficulties and the adoption of the scheme calling for the systematic cropping of an area, with the attend- ant expenditure for fertilizer, labor and fencing, would not be • generally economic in Canada. Nevnrthelese the principle is sound and adaptation of the schenme may be found which would neat local conditions and at the same time increase the feeding Value Of our pastures. O PIES AND POLITICS.
