Newly Developed Grass Is Popular The newly-developed grass de veloped by the Georgia Experiment Station and known as Coastal Ber muda, has “become quite popular in the dairy sections of the south, according to the Soil Conservation Service. In Louisiana, the Bogue Chitto- Pearl River and Feliciana districts have been instrumental in se curing 2,408,00 stolons of this grass for the farmer cooperators in their respective districts. This was enough to plant more than 200 acres. This certified grass comes from the Zimmerman Farms at Tifton, Georgia. It will produce, when properly treated, approximately 1,000 pounds of beef or 10 tons of hay each year per acre. It does not reproduce from seed, but must be transplanted from portions of the plant.
