GOOD FOR SEMI-ARID REGIONS.
New Forage Plant Whose Habitat
Is Russia.

Washington, Aug 24.-The agricultu-
raj department is preparing to make an
experiment with a new forage plant,
which is thought to be adapted to the
semi-arid regions of the west. 1t is the
bromus ineemis, a grass Indigenous to
the Russian steppes. Orders for one or
two tons of the seed for plant have
been wired to Moscow in response to
a telegram from Professor Hanson. the
departments agent, that he could Sc
cure this quantity by taking it imme-
diately. The grass is said to thrive in
lands which are too dry for the ordi-
nary forage plants. It is a tall, nu-
tritious plant, and it is hoped will prove
to be adapted TO the plains along the
bases of the Rocky mountains.
Professor Hanson, through whom this
order has been placed, is a resident Of
South Dakota. He is making a special
investigation of the grasses and other
forage vegetation of Siberia for the de-
partment, with the view of securing
plants adapted to the soil and climate
of the plains region and this order is
the first fruit of his labor.
The dispatching of Professor Hanson
on this mission has had the effect APP
parently of creating the impression that
the department is making especial in
quiry into the agricultural possibilities
of the country which will be traversed
by the new Siberian railroad, with the
view of determining before hand the
probable increase and character of COM
