GERMAN NURSERIES, BEATRICE, NEBRASKA. 57 Meadow Fescus or English Blue-Grass For Permanent Pasture or iMeadow This grass has come much into favor in the last few years and has proven itself very hardy and most valuable. Especially is this true in Kansas where the fields have been pastured in the spring- arid fall and a crop of seed harvested during the summer. Nebraska farmers are beginning to rea- lize its value and are sowing it more each year. The University experimental station here at Lin- coln has given this a thorough trial, and we understand will issue a bulletin this winter. Mr. Gilmore, before the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, says in part; "This grass has a two-fold value; for its seed and for pasturage. In suitable soil and under normal weather conditions as to moisture, it grows luxuriantly, the blades being broad, tender, and nutritious, and springs up quickly after cropping by live stock (cattle, -horses or sheep.) It starts in the spring not less than a month before native prairie-grass, affording most excellent picking by March 20 to 30, and in an average Kansas fall will sustain and keep cattle fat from the first of September until in November— even up to December 1, some seasons. Its advantages for fall pasturage are distinctly its own, and farmers having it, especially appreciate this fact. Where English Blue-Grass is known to be profit- able for both seed and pasture, it thrives best on the richest and heaviest soils, although it is found principally on the slopes and uplands. On moist or wettish spots (not too wet) and on gumbo land the plant flourishes wonderfully, yields the heavi- est, and holds on more ten
