Extract

1. Organic sulphur determinations have been carried out on pasture grass at different stages of maturity. A decrease of about 39 per cent. was found in this constituent when the grass was cut for hay compared with the weekly and fortnightly stages of growth.

2. The application of heavy dressings of inorganic sulphates to a good heavy clay permanent pasture produced an average increase of 8 per cent. in the organic sulphur content.

3. No correlation was found between the organic sulphur and protein content of pasture grass, which suggests that the organic sulphur is present in part, at least, as non-protein sulphur.
