Excerpt from Changes in Hay Production in War and PeaceLespedeza will grow under conditions that are adverse to other legume hays, but it will do relatively better on the better soils and where ferti lizer is applied to soils of low fertility.It is roughly estimated that nearly 40 million acres are now growing lespedeza. An accurate account is not available. Less than 7 million acres are being harvested for hay an undetermined quantity is used only for pasture, and large acreages are used only for erosion control. Lespe deza Sericea, because of its perennial nature holds promise in erosion con trol as more seed becomes available. When harvested early, the lespedezas make excellent hay and have about the same nutritive value as alfalfa. Figure 4 indicates the rapid climb of lespedeza into prominence as a hay crop in the South. In 1924-29 it contributed less than 4 percent of the total supply of tame hay for the indicated States as contrasted with about 36 percent during the last 5 years, 1940-44. Lespedeza is destined to play an increasingly important part as the South adjusts toward a more diversi fied farming economy with greater emphasis on livestock enterprises.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
