- Bermuda grass grows rapidly, is the best pasture grass grown in the Southern States, and is particularly suited to the climatic conditions of Oklahoma.
- It makes a good lawn, prevents land from washing, and grows on almost any soil.
- The most practical method of planting Bermuda
grass is to set out small pieces of the sod.
- This grass makes hay which is remarkably high in protein, being excelled by but few hays.
- The nutritive ratio of Bermuda hay varies from
1:3.06 to 1:6.4.
- Bermuda hay is easily digested and has no
equal as a cheap food for cattle.
