For part 1, not numbered, see Abst. 4271, Vol. 37. 2. Digestibility of forages grown at different in-tensities of light, temperatures and amounts of N fertilizer was estimated with wethers. The different factors affected chemical composition more than digestibility. Greater intensity of light increased digestibility and higher temperature decreased it. N fertilizer increased it but not significantly. Digesti-bility was less during stem formation. For prediction of digestibility in vivo by different chemical procedures, true digestibility in vitro estimated from digestibility of cell walls was the most accurate.-T. W.
