(Pennisitum Clandestinum Beige) WILL SAVE OUR STOCK SAVE OUfl SHEEP AND MAKE OUR BARREN LANDS FERTILE Our beedlaas Kiku Grass is splendid for fattening Cattle, Will stand any drought or heat. Does well on poor or good soil, Sheep thrive on it. For reclaiming sand dunes or drought- stricken country it is ideal, and worth more than its weight m gold. Planted 6ft apart it soon covers the space between, conserves the moisture, and binds the ground. No seeds for birds to carry. NATURE OF GROWTH Iviku grass is a perennial, and spreads rapidly over the ground by means of running stems or stolons, which carry a large quantity of leafy material thus providing a very bulky mass of fodder, The grass grows very rapidly, and the stolons send out roots from every node or joint, thus anchoring the plant firmly m the. ground, and at the same time forming a dense turf, which will stand the tramping of heavy stock well. This turf-forming habit is one of the most important factors to be considered when. .selecting grasses for permanent pasture. Tussocky grasses do not cover the ground well, leaving bare patches, which later on become smothered with weeds. If not allowed to seed periodically, tussocky grasses become tramped and eaten oui more rapidly than turf formers. In one of the coldest portions of the State the grass was cv! back by frost, but it lived through the winter and came away well m the following spring. ..,''* Farmers can be assured of ph nty of good nourishing food for Cattle, Sheep, or other Stock during worst Drought. It is better than Pa&palum or Lucerne J If planted m Burr, Thistle, or Speargrass Infested Land it will eradicate them. SAVE \OUJR WOOL! As regards drought resistance, the Department of Agriculture m South Africa states that " for drought resistance kiku grass ie great, and has no rival. When the surrounding veldt is dry and withered, th 9 kiku remains green, giving one the impression oi -m irrigated field pf forage. All kinds of stock are.ex.remaly fond ol it, and prefer it to o'her grasses". Tha food value is high, and superior to our other grasses." . ~ Mr Edward McGrath, Ocean View, Pambuia: .' The roots were plauted m August, 1923, on rich black soil*;' the grass made good growth, and m February, 1921, the plants had sjread 8 feet from the centre, and were 3 feet 7 inches high. A few roots were planttd m poor soil, and made fairly good grow:h, the plants being 5 feet 4 inches m length from the centre, and about I foot 8 inches high. This is the bes: grasi L have ever seen, and the hot dry weather never aff.cted ic. I wouid like to plant 10 acres of it, if J could obtain the material with which to do so."
