DR.. e. =. Clough. of Deadwood. tells
us that the belief is growing among
many western men, particularly in Ne.
braska, that what is known as buffalo
grass is a great promoter of hot winds
Referring to this in a letter recentl,
received DR.. Clough says: "Buffale
grass dries up or ripens early in the
year. so that where it is heavy you car
walk through it in the early morning
without dampening your shoes, while
if you step into v a small patch OF
wheat grass your shoes are immediate
ly dampened. Therefore it is believed
that if buffalo grass could be replaced
with wheat grass much of the danger
from hot winds would be greatly less
ened and an increase of moisture would
be obtained" DIR. Clough adds thai
a friend of his in western Nebraska in.
forms him that Il number of stockmer
in his vicinity are making a practice Of
turning over large tracts of buffalo
grass, working in wheat grass in its
place. We know that much large,
yields of wheat grass can be obtained
and if it is a greater conservator of
moisture the change would certainly
be worth considering.-Dakota Farmer
