LECTURE ON GRASSES.
Interesting Address by R.. c. Judson
of OREGON.


The assembly hall was well filled last
night with convention delegates and their
friends TO listen to the illustrated lecture
on grasses by r. G. Judson of Oregon.
The lecture. somewhat late in starting on
account of the absence of President
Springer, was finally opened oy Chair
man Mackay of the entertainment COM
mittee. Before the lecture a numoer OF
splendid vocal selections were rendered
by some of Salt Lakes most talented
singers who twice again during the even
ing were heard with great applause The.
singers were Messrs. H s Goddard and
Fred Graham and Misses Lille rye ana
Elsie Barr0ws. Professor J. J. McCtel-
land acted as accompantst
Mr. JUdSDu was introduced Dy thdlr-
man Mackay and gave a snort but IN
teresting talk on grasses, giving the eN-
perieuces in the testing OF range grasses
NAVIGATION company. Illustrating It with
numerous lantern slides
The CHIEF problem, he said. was TO
dorcrTniDe how to restore o. bring back
the grasses on lands which have been de-
uuded by overstOcEinG- An experimental
Plat was established on the company
farm near Walla " ala, Wash. for the
raising of grains and grasses that would
improve the condition or the ranges DN
dndinE forage plants or grasses mat
would take the place Of the fast diSao-
nearing bunch grass. as we'll as to try
and secure a species OF grass or forage
plants that would be applicable TO the
rifferenL aAULuQ6S III the ScAliA-e1A III
regions As soon as the ground was pre-
pared 156 varieties of grain and 100
varieties of grasses, besides forage plants,
were nut in. The first season demon
strated that the native grasses gave the
hest results. During the spring Of 100
six additional grass stations we're estab-
lfshed by the company covering all the
kinds of soil and climate FOUND on the
eastern Oregon ranges. As the result OF
the work done, Ii is thought the expert
rneuts so far show that there are i've
aud w a :
that will grow on the ranges without r.
rigation.
