Fodder Grass In N. Guinea

Inquiry was made recently in New Guinea by the “Pacific Islands Monthly” as to whether any experiments with Blue Panic Grass (Panicum Antidotle), which has proved so successful as fodder grass in Queensland, had been carried out. We have now received from the Director of the New Guinea Department of Agri culture (Mr. G. Murray) the following in formation: — “Blue Panic Grass has not been grown in this Territory so far as is known to me, but I doubt if we will get anything to surpass Kikuyu as a fodder grass. This grass was introduced to the Territory a few years ago and grows luxuriantly.

However, should the opportunity arise, Blue Panic Grass will be given a trial.”
