During the past few years the For- age Crop Division of the Dominion Experimental Farm has investigated quite extensively some of the causes of the variation in the dry matter of forage crops.

This is particularly so ;in the case of the clover hays. With ithese latter it is seldom that at least ‘ten per cent of the leaf growth is not lost. Handling when the leaves are brittle may result in the loss of as much as sixty per cent of th leaf growth.
