field at the same time. The yield of
seed varies from 200 to 400 pounds per
acre. 1t should be cut for hay just
after the bloom falls. The hay is rel
ished by all kinds of stock, and its
feeding value is fully equal to that of
timothy or prairie hay.
Preparation of Seed Bed.
1t is quite essential to prepare a
proper seed bed. In order to conserve
the moisture and sprout the seeds,
the soil should be well firmed. The
ground should be plowed some time
before seeding, so as to become thor
oughly firmed and settled by the rains,
or if it is impracticable to do this a
subsurfacer packer or similar imple-
ment should be used to follow the pillow
and pack the soil. The ground should
be narrowed at frequent intervals I'M
til seeding time, and special pains TAX
en- to prepare a thoroughly pulverized
seed bed near the surface. If the
ground is not too hard and is compare
lively free from weed seeds, an excel
lent seeded may be prepared with a
disk harrow and other surface-working
implements. This method insures a
firm subsurfacer, the Importance of
which has just been mentioned
Seeding
Bromus Inermis should preferably
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-09-15

be sown in the spring, and as early as
it is possible to prepare suitable
seed bed, thus insuring plenty of
moisture to start the young plants and
keep them growing until they have suf-
ficiently developed root systems to en-
able them to survive the dry periods
we are apt to have later in the sea-
son. If sown in the spring the ground
should be plowed in the autumn, if
thought best to pillow at all. Bromus
Inermis may also be seeded in the
fall and if the season is favorable as
good catch may be obtained as in the
spring. If sown in the fall, sow from
the first to the 25th of September
1t is not advisable to SOW Bromus In
ermis with a nurse crop except in To-
calities where the soil drifts badly by
the winds. This grass will hold the

soil from drifting after it has a few
weeks growth. The best apparatus
of which | know for seeding Bromus
Inermis is a wheelbarrow broadcast
seeder, with hopper made especially
for sowing this seed. This should be
followed by an ordinary smoothing
harrow. 1t may be seeded by hand by
man experienced in this method of
seeding. The ordinary grain drills
have not proved satisfactory general
ly, as it is very difficult to get the
seed to pass through the seed cups OF
the drill. Sow Is to 20 pounds of seed
per acre. Seed may be secured of any
of the reliable seed houses of the West.
The price varies from $40 to SIS per
hundred pounds, according to the
grade of the seed and the firm with
which you deal. 1t pays we'll to get
good grade of seed.
Renewing the Crop.
After the third year the roots and
underground root stalks devel-
op such dense mat that
Iu0I0 Is uSlCuSl lOOH hol nun
ishment for them to continue their
growth, and the field becomes sod
bound, the production being materially
decreased. Several remedies are rec
commended. One is to disk thoroughly
with the disk harrow, another to pillow
and then thoroughly firm the sod with
subsurface packer or heavy roller.
Where reseeding is not too difficult,
and where the land can profitably be
used for the growing of other crops,
the most practical method of renew
ing the grass is by reseeding.
KILLING the Sod.
Bromus Inermis can not be consid-
cred a pest Notwithstanding it's hardi-
ness No experiments in destroying
the grass have been conducted at this
station, but the trials of other stations
have demonstrated that it can be sue
cessfully killed out by breaking, after
the removal of the hay crop, disking
at intervals, and backsetting in the
fall. o. M. CLAYTON.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-09-15

It, however, may be sown with other
grasses and legumes, and allowed to
take full possession in a few years.
BrOnus Inern1is for Hay.
Bromus Inermis will also make
very satisfactory crop of hay, yielding
from ~ to 4 tons per acre, accord
ing to the season and the richness of
the soil. 1t may usually be cut twice
during the season. The first crop is
sometimes cut for seed by self-bind-
err raising the cutter bar as high as
possible and cutting off the heads and
then following in the same swath with
the mower to cut the hay. The bun
dies may be left upon the swaths OF
hay until the hay is raked, when they
may be shocked up between the wind
rows, thus carrying on the processes

BROMUS
INERMIS


Bromus inermis (smooth, awnl
or Hungarian Brome-grass) is a v
hardy perennial grass, with smot
upright stems from Is inches to
feet high, and with open panicles
seed heads to 8 inches long. 1t
a very heavy system of roots and
derground root-stalks, which after
is well established makes a very tol
sod and gives it great drouth-resist
qualities 1t is a native of Europe {
Asia, and has been known for owe
hundred years, but was not cultiva
until a few years ago, because 1T
thought it would become a pest 81
lar to quack grass if cultivated. d
ing the last decade it has come v
rapidly into prominence in this co
try. 1t has grown in most of
western and northwestern states, {
reports have been made by the No
and South Dakotas, Nebraska c.
RADIO, Montana, Wyoming, Washing
and Idaho experiment stations. TIL
reports have been favorable to
grass. Because of it's great drou
resisting qualities, Bromus Inermis
especially adapted to the drier
portions of the Northwest, and
will grow in places where none
of the other tame grasses will
survive. 1t is able to thrive I'M
der wet conditions as we'll as
dry. 1t also makes a good growth
in shady places, where most 9th
er grasses will not do well. 1t
will produce most abundantly on
rich, heavy soils, but will grow
on poor, thin soil better than
most of our other grasses.
BromuS InermiS for Pasture.
Bromus Inermis makes an eX-
cellent pasture grass, as it shoots
up in the spring about two weeks
earlier than any of the native
grasses, produces a good after
math or second growth, and con-
tinues to grow especially late in
the fall If the summer is dry !
it will stop growing, and start
again after the beginning of the
fall rains, but if the dry period
is not too long it will continue
to grow from early in the
spring until late in the fall. We
have grown Bromus Inermis in
field way for four seasons. This
summer we have pastured some
young stock, ranging from 9 to
Is months of age, on a field of
Bromus Inermis seeded last fall.
These calves have thrived well.
The grass stands tramping by
stock exceedingly well. 1t is so
vigorous that it will run out all
weeds and other grasses, after
it once becomes we'll established.

nalist, acknowled ged that he
was about to undertake foolish
quest, and that. most of his friends
would accuse him Of having some
thing lacking in his mental machin-.
cry if they should happen to hear Of
it. He acknowledged it to Trask, the
city editor, who was silent and
phlegmatic and rather dull fellow,
on the whole. to his way of think:

to him at times because he listened so
well. He acknowledged it again to lit

the hey-day of young girlhood, one
would say, and whom Marsh found to
be a nice little old maid enough, and
quiet, as old maids ought to be.
Trask had gone on smoking very
calmly, after his disclosure, and it was
only after a long pause that he had re-
marked dryly:

doesn't want to be found! How will
you know her when you find her?'
