S. De- partment of Agriculture in a special bulletin devoted to this grass gives this general information: "Whilethis grass will grow on lands too poor for the more valuable agri- cultural grasses, and under conditions of climate which would emirely pre- cude the culture of these last, its productiveness depends, as in other cases, upon the amount and availablity of the food supply. In other words, the better the condition the better the growth. The reported yield is one to three tons to the acre. It is resistant to intense cold, to sudden and extreme changes of temperature, and withstands protracted drouth better than any other cultivated variety. In ordinary and poor soils the stems are only twelve to eighteen inches high; under more favorable conditions they attain the height of three to four feet. The underground stems (root stocks) grow more rapidly in light, sandy loam, but they penetrate with apparent ease the stiffestclay, and in all cases form a dense tough sod. The amount required per acre is variously given at from thirty to forty pounds. It may be sown in the autumn with winter wheat, or in the early spring; for the southern states February or March. The preparation of the land is the same as for other grassses or grain. In the North it blooms in June and, of course, somewhat earlier in the southern states. It is usually sown unmixed because of its liability to choke out other plants. In Hungary it is sometimes mixed with Lucerne in proportion of thr ee to two. In the formation of permanent pastures, various grasses and clovers, where this will grow, ought to be mixed with ; Eecent trials with this grass in western Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Minnesota and the Dakotas have g
