mis-, or smooth bronze, was bv far
the best in every respect. Some
of the others were ANNALS, bien-
malls, some grew bunchy, some
were not hardy, and none of them
approached bromus inerrnis in
hardness OF in quality and guam
tity of forage produced. So i'm
pressed were we with the value of
this new grass that Prof. Chilcott
commenced propogating it on a
more extensive scale. and when
Prof. Hansen went to Europe, he
made a fresh importation from
which this station made increas-
ed showings. AS soon as a suf-
ficlent quantity Of home grown
seed was at hand, this station
sent over the state, gratis, suf6-
cient seed to SOW three acres in
every county in the state. The
results obtained have uniformally
confirmed those obtained at the
station.
The experiments at the station
grounds were made on rather low
ground with water within conf
paratively easy reach, consequent
ly, three years ago the writer de-
termained to try this grass out
under field conditions on decidedly
high prairie upland, where water
was not within such easy reach.
The land selected was d field that
had been under cultivation since
the earliest settlement of the
country. 1t had been subjected
to the robbing process of small
grain after small grain, with no
returns to the soil whatever.
Even the straw was burned or
hauled away, The field was fonl
with weeds of all descriptions,
and although the soil is a good
upland, under good cultivation,
ten bushels of blue stem wheat
represented its Yielding capacity.
The land was plowed late in the
spring and a good crop of weeds
was turned under. It was tken
narrowed twice, Sowing was

seeding than had been made in
any of our experiments. The
season was dry, and what rain
came was late. The seed was
mixed with emmer in the proper
ton Of 40 pounds bronze grass
seed to 80 pounds of emmer and
sown with a drill. About fifteen
pounds of bronze grass seed was
sowu to the acre and correspond
ing amount of emmer. AS soon
as the emmer was in the milk,
the field was mown for hay, yeild-
ing two tons per acre. Late rains
brought on the bronze grass, and
likewise crop of weeds, mostly
foxtail. So it was moved again,
yielding one ton per acre. This
hay was worth 81 per ton on the
market. The second year, the
field should have given a crop of
seed and a crop of hay, but a
heavy unreasonable frost in early
June nipped the seed heads just
forming. AS a consequence, a
crop Of hay was secured. The
yield was one and one-half tons
per acre and was worth SO per
ton. During this year the weeds
made last aud ineffective strug-
gle to maintain their ancient SUI
premacy. The third year the
bronze grass had complete posses
sion of the field. This proved a
favorable year and fine crop of
seed was obtained and crop of
hay yielding one and one-half
tons per acre, which was worth
anywhere from SS to $40 per ton.
The writer then goes on and
describes the handling and caring
for the seed, and continues:
Aftet cleaning, the twenty
acres yielded me 5000 pounds o1

known all over the state, as Joe
Greene" may be the next repub-
lidan candidate for governor. He
has not said what he will do and
his friends have not pushed his
candidacy, because they regard it
poor politics TO open a campaign
so early. He has some splendid
support and it will be heard from
in due time. He is a war veteran
and a practial business man and if
chosen governor will give the
state business administration.
The. leaders Of the party have
been under obligations to Mr..

and if he comes out for governor
it is not bad forecast to say that
manyof them will be behind him.
He has fought many hard battles

has lasted the sweets of ultimate

BRoMUs lNERMls FOR PASTURES.
The Result Of a Three Years Ex-
pertinent With This New Grass
on Twenty Aces.

The following interesting arti-
Gle on Bromus grass is from the
pen of Prof. ]. ii. Shepard of
Brockings, which is reproduced
for the benefit of farmers, who
are interested IN bronze grass.
The South Dakota experimental
station commenced Investigating
grasses and forage plantr which
would prove hardy and profitable
in the northwest in 1899. Seeds
were obtained from all available
sources. Among others, within
a year or so, a small amount OF
bromus inernl1s seed was sown.
Where the seed was obtained is
not definitely known. But it is
the impression of the writer that
Prof. Foster obtained it through
Director Hilgard of the California
station, who in turn had secured
it from Russia through France.
Be that as it may, this new grass
attracted attention from the first
The seed sowu from the first
small beginning was carefully
saved each year and sown upon
the station plats, thus extending
the area under cultivation. The
grass plats were soon placed in
charge Of Prof. T. A. Williams,
who thought so highly of the
bromus inermis, that he obtained
seeds of some other brornes. The
writer made the first analysis Of
bromus inermis in 1902, together
with some other bromes then OBJ.
tainable. Since that time Prof
Saunders has tested out an ad'
ditional number of bromes anG
the writer has analyzed them, the
result being published in Bulletir
No. 90 of this station. s

AS a permanent pasture it cannot
be excelled. It IS a perennial and
withstands drouth and cold per-

of farm stock, either as pasture
grass or as hay. Chickens, pigs
sheep and horses all prefer it to
any other forage crop grown. In

SOME ONE HAS sLANDERED.

A recent number of the Los Angeles
Times publishes a wholly surprising
account of remarks said to have been
made in a Los Angeles church in
which sweeping and unjustifiable
charges are made against both the
American and Spanish-American peO-
Pile of the territory. When we remem-
Der that this same Los Angeles Times
has during the past few years lost no
opportunity of s%landering and Witty
ing New Mexico, we are glad to say
that we don't believe Mr.. Skinner ever
used the words that have been put
into his mouth. 1t seems incredible
that he could have told an intelligent
audience that New Mexico has no pub
lie schools worthy OF the name and
that public instruction is a farce. To
say that would have been to SANDER
the town in which Mr.. Skinner lives
and it will take more than a report
in the sensational and unreliable Los
Angeles Times to make us believe he
did IL.
II Mr.. Skinner, in a Los Angeles
church, made the statements atIriD-
uted TO him in regard to the native
people, he has done more harm in a
single sentence by furnishing material
for the revival of the race issue, than
he can do good in a year. The article
in the Times will be used in Spanish
81 in English in nearly all the papers
OF the territory. The man who is re.
sponsible for stirring up race ques.
tions in New Mexico assume a heavy
responsibility.
But MIR. Skinner should not be
Judged or the statements Of the
Times. II must be remembered that
he was addressing a home mission
board with a view to securing appro
priations for building schools and car
rying on educational work In New
Mexico. II is not likely thai he would
be induced to say anything harsh ol
unjust or such an occasion.
The Optic will be glad to receive
communications concerning the con
domination proceeding instituted OF
