GRAZING
CLOSE �i
OF PASTURES
As long ago as 1893, the import-
ance of wide variations in • the pro,
Lein content of grass= at different
stages of growth was recognized.
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

would neat local conditions and at
the same time increase the feeding
