Abstract
The calcium content of timothy and red clover hays was found to increase directly as the total calcium content of the clay loam soils in which they were grown, and to decrease as the "lime requirement" of these soils increases. There is no proportionate increase of protein nor of phosphorus as the calcium content of the hays increases.The timothy hays from the area investigated are extremely low in calcium content but are otherwise normal. The ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for these timothy hays are, respectively, abnormally low and abnormally high. These values appear to be normal in the red clover hays.
