Grazing Grasses Of Western Kansa

Grazing Grasses Of Western Kansas.
Kansas is prominently a prairie
state. The western half lies in the
semi-arid region known 90 tho Great
Plains, and the eastern portion is
chiefly prairie. In all such regions
the grass vegetation largely FREEDOM.
mates and determines the general
appearance Of the fora.
There are l54 kinds Of grasses
known to grow in Kansas Some OF
these are rare and others are Of no
agricultural Importance, while still
others are weeds. There are several
species that are Of Importance from
the standpoint Of grazing, but at this
time only a few will be mentioned.
In q short time q more complete
enumeration and description will be
issued as bulletin from the Expert
ment Station.
Buffalo Grass. This common and
welI-known grass forms the bulk Of
the native vegetation on all the up.
lands Of the western half Of Kansas.
In the eastern part of the state IL is
less common and is being gradually
driven out in many places by other
grasses. Buffalo grass forms short,
compact sod, the plants usually being
only q few inches high. The color is
grsy-green. The male and female
flowers occur on different plants,
which fact has given rise TO the i'm
preston that there are two kinds Of
buffalo grass. The male plants pro-
duce q flower stock a few inches high,
but the flowers contain only pollen,
and no seed 10 formed. The female
flowers are in little clusters close
among the leaves, and il 10 here that
the seed is produced. The grass prop.
agstes extensively from creeping
stems and also from the seed. II 10

Grama Grass. This is very COM
mon over the same range as the buf.
fslo grass, and is found mixed with
it, but is not so abundant. Like the
proceeding, it IS short grass" not
usually growing tall enough for hay.

A third species is sometimes called

species commonly Jumped together
