Bermuda Grass.

For the information of a subscriber
at Browns, Ala, whose inquiry was
published last week, we copy the FOL-
lowing from tho Mobile Register:
"Does Bermuda grass bear seed ?"
This question seems to be concerning
the people no little just now. Scarce.
ly week passes 10 which we d" not
receive letters asking US to decide it.
More than once we gave our decision
through the Register, but as it seems
TO have escaped the attention of many
we take this occasion to repeat our
answer. Of course Bermuda grass
bears seed in some parts Of the worlds
but not here in tho United States. 1t
flowers here, and has every appear
ance Of seeding, but the seed invari-
ably blasts before coming to maturity.
We often see the seed of Bermuda
grass advertised for sale. 1t is pos
sibly the seed of some other erass-it
is certainly not the seed of the trne
Bermuda grass (Cynodon Dactylon,}
Unless it has been imported from some
other country.
Bermuda grass is now the great
rage in Australia. In that country
they call it tile Doub grass. Dr.. w.

COLORADO GRAIN FIELDS.

A friend. writing from Fort Collins, Col
orado, gives us the following interesting
items respecting farmers and farming of that
sectionot the Centennial State: fa
We are here engineering a railroad to con-
meet Golden and Cheyenne. 1t runs through
the best agricultural land in tlU State, and
opens up to the world acres and acres of
land that has not been cultivated on account
OF the distance to u railroad. Although the
farmers heretofore have had to haul their
produce thirty or forty miles to a depot,
they have not been afraid to plant large
crops this year, and they are truly reaping
their reward. There has been no scarcity Of
water, no blight, no rust. no smut, and no
grasshoppers. The wheat fields here come
nearer filling my first idea of a prairie than
anything el-e IKE seen inthe West. 1t is
Wncat,. n,la ,at, wheat, rs far as the eye can
reach; tie view interrupted only by the
tops Of the fence posts dividing sthe farms.
The harvest is progressing rapidly, and
some have finished, with u yield of thirty,
forty. and as high as eighty bushels to the
acre, and two crops that have been marketed
weighed 66 pounds to the buslel. The
farmers all Wear a broad grin OH their faces, !
and lit is better than show to see group
OF them together and hear them brag about
their crops. t 81 Age f5tE
