The fact that annual lespedezas cure more rapidly than other legumes and that estimates of yields are -usually less, rather than more, than the actual yields, indicates a relatively high dry-matter content at the time of harvest. It seemed desirable, therefore, to study the dry matter content of lespedeza, alfalfa, and soybeans when cut for hay and these data were obtained at Statesville, N. C., •during the seasons of 1931 and 1932 from cultural and varietal test plats. MATERIALS AND METHODS
