Excerpt from Forage Crops, Grasses, Alfalfa, Clovers, Etc Alfalfa continues to increase in popularity in Louisiana. Sev eral thousand acres of Red River lands are now profitably devoted to its cultivation. Many sugar planters of South Louisiana are also raising it in areas of IO to 50 acres on each plantation, ex elusively for home consumption. In the hill and bluff sections where proper care has been exercised in establishing it, there are many instances of successful growth. Unfortunately it will not grow in some soils, without previous careful preparation, but where conditions are favorable to its growth, alfalfa surpasses all other plants in producing quantity and quality of hay or green forage.

Excerpt from Notes on Grasses and Forage Plants of the Southeastern States Rice - Rice is grown by Mr. Lewis at Apalachicola for horse feed, for which he thinks it about as valuable as corn. Richardsonia scabra (mexican clover). - This plant often appears in cultivated land after the crop has been taken Off, and is usually associated with crab grass. I saw it nowhere large enough to make good hay. Opinions differ as to its worth. Dr. C. Mohr thinks it of some value. Judge R. C. Long, of Tallahassee, does not esteem it and keeps it out of his land. A gentleman who resides near Thomasville, Ala., described a succulent plant of sandy bottoms under the name of water pusley, which I think must be the Richardsonia. He says it is very palatable to cattle and is excellent for green manuring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
