Abstract
Several grasses were sown in this district and the field experiments for cutting was done in 1949. According to these results the most productive grass is Sudan grass, and the next is Pearl millet. Crasses are supposed to be suitable in autumn sowing than in spring, on account of vigor of weeds in spring. Consider to the resistance to heat, drought, and cold of the plants, Pearl millet, and Sudan grass are most resistant to dry and heat, and Red clover, and Alfalfa also are reasonable by deep root system. Redtop, Meadow foxtail, and Italian rye grass have less resistance to cold or less winterhardened than Canary grass, and Tall meadow fescue. And the latter two keep green in winter. From the results above mentioned Sudan grass and Pearl millet are seen to be suitable for cutting in this district, and the others may be hopeful by means of fitting irrigation in summer, or taking care of the growth in spring and autumn.
