Excerpt from Forage Plants and Their Culture The exceedingly diversified climatic conditions in North America have led to the cultivation Of an unusually large number of plant species for forage production. Some Of these are successful or important over but a comparatively small area, and not one is capable of profitable cultivation over the whole region. The climatic conditions Of some parts of North America, especially the dry regions and the southernmost states, are not closely duplicated in any part of Europe. This fact has necessitated the introduction of numerous grasses and legumes from other regions to secure forage plants capable of profitable cultivation. The success of these endeavors has resulted in the utilization of many forage crops practically unknown in Europe, such as numer ous varieties of sorghum, cowpeas, soybeans, Japan clover Florida beggarweed, velvet bean, Bermuda-grass, Rhodes grass, and many others. In some sections, there is still need of better adapted or more productive forage crops. Extensive experimental investigations have been conducted with only a few forage crops in America, so that there yet remains much to be learned concerning most Of the others. The aim Of the author has been to present as concisely as practicable the present state of our knowledge with ref erence to each forage crop grown in America, and it is hoped that no important contributions to the subject have been omitted.
