More About Bronze Grass.

Much reference has been manifested in
the question of the bronze grass. The
Teller's article of a week ago has brought
in numDer OF inquiries TO the Office con-
cerning the growth and culture of the
bronze grass.
The Teller wrote to John l.. Smith OF
the Hazelwood dairy. Spokane, and re-
ceived this information: "You can get
the seed from Buel L.amberson, Portland.
1t will cost you about twenty-five cents
per pound. 1t is very light seed. On
good land SOW fifteen pounds and on poor
land 30 to IS pounds to the acre. Sow as
early as you can. Frost does not bother
1t any
The question of bronze grass culture
came up at the Clarkston farmer insti-
tute and the Teller representative took
occasion to make diligent inquiry abou,
the success of this forage plant where il
had been cultivated. In the Palouss
country and about Spokane it is pro
nounced success, and the experiment sta
ton at Pullman counts bronze gras
among its greatest producers. 1t will th'
second yeaI produce about two and one
half tons to the acre, and the yield ol
fields FIVE years old is about the same
II mats at the third year and can hardl
r be cut. Prof Balmer thinks that
, shows tendency to develop bunch grss
proclivities and decrease in yield as
r grows in age.
For the highlands there is herdly
. doubt of its success, but as 10 exper
meuts have been made on lands as 10
aud dry as the Lewiston flats, nothin
. can lie said except that such experiment
!, should he made 10 determine It's value
a forage grass in this locality.
