est terms 1t is evident from these re-
ports that the grass is little influenced
by changes of climate. In Canada. in
Mississippi Kansas, Colorado, Wyo-
ming and California it appears TO do
equally we'll. 1t is resistant to intense
cold, to sudden and extreme changes of
temperature and withstands protracted
drought better than any other cultivat-
cd variety. In ordinary and poor soils
the stems are only IL to Is inches high
Under most favorable conditions thoy
attain the height of 3 to 1 feet. The I'M
foreground stems (root stocks) grow most
rapidly in light, sandy loan, but they
penetrate with apparent ease the stiffcst
clays and in all cases form 81 dense,
tough sod.
Hungarian bronze ought to be cut
when first coming into bloom After
this period the stems rapidly become
hard and woody and valucless for hay
At present, however, this grass is es-
teemed more for grazing In the south
ern states it remains green throughout
the year and in some sections may
prove to be valuable for winter pastures
In portions of tho arid regions Of the
west and in parts of California where
the finer grasses have failed this bronze
has grown we'll.
The seed Of Hungarian bronze may be
obtained from the leading secdsmen in
the larger cities. The amount required
per acre is variously given ut from 30
to 90 pounds 1t may be sowed in the
autumn with winter wheat or in early
spring; for the southern states, Februa-
ry OF March. The preparation of tho
land is the same as for other grasses or
grain. In the north it blooms i'll June
and of course somewhat earlier in the
southern states. 1t is usually sowed I'M
mixed because of its liability to choke
out other plants. In Hungary it is
sometimes mixed with lucern i'll pro-
portion of three to two. In the forna-
ton of permanent pastures various
grasses and clovcrs, where these will
grow, ought to he mixed with it.

Hungarian bromo grass, sometimes
called awnless bromo, is a vigorous,
hardy perennial, with strong, creeping
root stalks, smooth, upright, leafy
stems one to three feet high and a loose,
open paniclo or head. 1t is a native of
Europe. The name Hungarian bromo
originated doubtless from tho fuct that
the cultivation of the grass was first
brought to notice i'll Hungary. The de-
partment of agriculture calls attention
to this grass in circular issued from
the division of botany
While this grass will grow ON lands
too poor for tho more valued agricul-
tural grasses and under conditions Of
climate which would entirely preclude
the culture of these last, the better the
conditions tho better the growth. The
reported yield is one to three tons to the
acre. AT the central experimental farm,
Ottawa, the pure plot culture gave ut
one cutting yield of 80 tons of cured

The New Anlumn CoIors.

Fashion DEGREES that the color5 Of this
season will be Francsiss red, Lincoln
green and cornhower blue.
Cornfower blue is very trying color
Only blondes can wear it, and not all Of
them. There is a certain type Of blonde,
with golden hair on the verge of red,
and clear, fair skin, who seems TO have
been born especially TO wear this color.
The new red might have been made to
even things off bit, for no blonde could
wear 1t without looking hideous. yet
almost any brunette might assume it
without the slightest hesitation. 1t Is
slightly on the magenta tone, but quite
dark The rumor comes from England
that the prevailing color this winter
win be red. This would almost induce
one to believe that common sense was in,
vading fashion. Nothing could be more
appropriate for cold winter weather than
nice, alright warm red--the red which
looks. SO uncomf Portable in summer time.
The popularity Of lincoln green may b
due in part to the remarkable run which
the opera Of Robin Hood" has had for s'
long. This is a good color for both ligh
and dark types.
