The last two are known as blue-stems, and the latter as broom grass, or broom- sedge. Tricni^pix {Triadut) srxlrroideH, fall red-top, is j)rominent in jilaees. A vast numl)er of smaller species help make up the ])astures, but they are less widely diffused or less i)rominent than those named above. In the Iveport of the I^ of Agriculture for 1870, J. K. Dodge states: '• Tlic relative value of these species as forage grasses differs verv widelv, a few of them being entirelv worth- less. The largest numI)or of the species could be dispensed with without manifest disadvantage to the grazing interests of the country. The relative value of the twelve most important species is exhibited in the following table of per centum estimates, one hundred representing the aggregate value of the twelve: Spbcikh. ^^r::;^ Andrnpof^on (furratns) provineialis Aiitlropof^on scoparius Chrysopoj^on (Sorgliuin) Sporoljolus lu'torolepis Bnchloe dactyloidos Boiiteloua oliKostachya Sjmrtiua cynosuroides Festuca oviiia Festiica uiacrostacliya Bronuis Kahuii .* Poa siTotiuu Stii)a viridula. _.
