There exists today in Eastern Canada an estimated fourteen million acres of pasture land, of which a large proportion remains at a law level of production. The growing recognition that grass is a crop has given added stimulus to pasture improvement, its development and utilisation. Where the live stock farmer predominates, in an area in which forage species are adapted, much importance is attached to grassland resources as the cheapest source of feed. Under this situation, which prevails in Eastern Canada, the value of sound• pasture management, and the need for further knowledge of the principles upon which such a system may be attained, cannot be overemphasised.
