DOGSTAIL GRASS
Massey College Research
"The work on dogs.tail has already produced results," reports Professor Percn, principal, in his annual report of operations at .Massey College. "A number of distinct types have been isolated and careful notes are being mado by Mr Jacques of the habits of these types from the, pasture point of view there being gradations from an early, heavy seeding and poor leaf bearing type, to a very late, light seeding and very leafy type. This material will be multiplied this autumn to enable trials to be carried out on a larger scale during next summer. Seed has also been collected from a further number of promising locations since it is far from likely that the material ,so far studied contained representatives of the full range of norma! variants."
