NEBRASKA STOCK GROWERS
Large Attendance Upon First Annual Meet
ing Held at Crawford.
DISCUSSION OVER FORAGE PLANTS
Prof. Lyon of the state University
Details Experiments with over
o Varieties at Coll
IeEe station.

CRAWFORD. Neb.. May 12.-Cspecial
Telegram.l-Th first session Of the annual
meeting OF the Nebraska Stock Growers as
ISOLATION took place here this afternoon.
with a large attendance Of members and a
delegation Of twenty-five members Of the
South Omaha Live Stock exchange.
Prof. Lyon OF the Nebraska Experiment
station opened with a paper on the subject
OF Forage Plants for Nebraska" He re-
cited the necessity for securing improved
grasses on the ranges and the difficulty in
procuring these at once hardy and produc-
tive in greater degree than the
native varieties. Alfalfa and bronze
grass were mentioned as most promising,
yet results with these were so varied as
to show them to be still in experimental
stage in many sections. Many failures
were due to lack Of knowledge Of proper
preparation Of soil and Of the necessities
Of plant growth. OF the 400 varieties eI-
perimented with at the college station al
falfa and bronze grass had been most sat-
isfaotory and only sorts not injured by the
drouth OF 1901. Bronze grass did not prom
ise we'll for hay grass and was Of de-
batable value for late fall or winter pas
turage. He also referred briefly to Kafir
corn, Milo maize, Jerusalem corn,
and rape. He advised experimental seed
ing on ranges Of alfalfa and other varie-
ties OF grasses and thought the state
should extend additional aid in this d.
rection. Intelligence, pasturage. conserv-
alton on moisture and weed control. he
said, would do much to get the greatest
value from the native grasses which sur
vived. only because OF their great adapt
ability to hard conditions. Discussion OF
the paper brought out many conflicting ex-
periences. but the whole OF encourag ing
character.
Hon. 1. A. Fort Of North Platte read a
paper advocating a readjustment OF home
stead law to enable homesteaders to enter
two sections. He argued that all a~gricul-
tural lands Of value are now taken, that as
cattle raising is the only means of utilizing
the remaining public land and that at least
two sections Of this land would be neces-
sary to enable one family to make such a
living as could be made from a quarter
section in most favorable localities.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, Prof. Burnett, DR.,
Peters and DR.. Thomas are on the program
for tomorrow.
