KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.
The Harvesting, Curing and Clean
Ing of the Seed,

Though distributed almost through
out North America, Kentucky blue
grass reaches its best development in
the rolling country of north central
Kentucky. northern Missouri, southern
Iowa and a small area on Lake Erie
n Canada, and il is from these dis
tr1cts that the seed crop is harvested.
In Kentucky the greater part Of the
seed crop is secured in the heart Of the
blue grass region. within a radius Of
twenty-five miles from the center of Il
triangle formed by lines connecting
the cities Of Lexington, Paris and Win
chester. All blue grass SEED is sent
to the mill for screening. Kentucky
has seven blue grass seed mlls-fiye
at Paris one at Lexington and one at
Georgetown. There are one at st.
Louis. two Mt Kansas City. Mo, and
one at Creston, la. Most of the mills
draw their supply Of rough seed from
the surrounding country, but In some
cases it is brought to the mill In car
load lots.
The amount of rough seed harvested
per acre varies greatly. a good crop
Is fifteen or twenty bushels per acre,
while sometimes not more than two to
FIVE bushels are secured, though TWEEN.
ty-hye bushels per acre Is not uncom-
mon
The total crop in Kentucky is vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to 800
900 bushels of rough seed. of which
about 20 per cent is fancy grade, the
balance being extra clean or waste.
The crop west of the Mississippi is
much smaller, probably not over %
0OO or 10000 bushels Of fancy.
Harvesting the Seed.
Kentucky blue grass blooms the lat
ter part of May, and the seed ripens
usually the second or third week in
June The average time for harvest
ing is about June 10 TO 10 Stripping
usually begins when the panicle is
yellow and the culn still green. At
this time the grain is solid or at least
firm, and the future ripening will en-
able it to reach full maturity.
The blue grass seed is harvested
both by hand and by horsepower ma
chimes When Kentucky blue grass
seed was first collected it was strip
ped of by hand and rubbed through
sieves to clean it. The first improve
ment was what is known as the hand
stripper, which soon became generally
used. This strippsr consists of coTab
made of long, fiat teeth set close to-
Rpther on the front edge OF small
scooplike box. The stripper Is held
In one hand and swung through the
blue grass and with dextercus twist
IS brought up again so that the seed
stripped of falls to the rear part Of
the scoop 1t is still used to gather
seed along the roadsides and In waste
places.

WANT WESTERN REGATTA
Wisconsin Thinks Minnesota Should
Have a Boat Crew.

Madison, Wis. July IA western inter-
collegiate rowing league and the bringing west
Of one of the eastern professional racing shell
builders. two things which the athletic
managers of the University of Wisconsin are
DESTROYS of accomplishing. Both are thought to
be entirely practicable.
At present Wisconsin is the only western
university which maintains department of
aquatics, but it is believed that the formation
of a league of at least three frst-class educa-
tional institutions and including a number Of
smaller colleges, be established
1t Is assumed at Madison that the problem
will be easy of solution at the University of
Chicago, where. it is understood. no obstacle
Is too great If it can be overcome with money.
1t is also thought that the University of Mime
sofa, by sending its oarsmen little distance on
trolley lines could have aquatic training. This
would give three western crews from three Of
the leading universities; st. Johns military
academy at Delafeld, Wis, maintains a crew
department Beloit college, always little giant
on Rock river. and Marquette college, in Mil
waukee, could find water. This would furnish
crews for as many races as are rowed In any
regattas ordinarily held
These college crews, together with the Duluth
and other more or less professional clubs, would
be amply. sufficient to give plenty Of work to
a professional builder Of racing shells. 1t is
therefore desired that of the great eastern
builders be attracted to the west. 1t is thought
doubtful whether Davy or Boyle would come
west, but that one of their assistants, probably
as able as the masters and perhaps possessed OF
new ideas advanced ahead of those of the older
builders, would be ready to establish himself in
the west is presumed.

three seconds behind. Warrior soon
passed the Oshkosh boat, and at the first

POWER BOAT RACE
AT MINNET0NKA
MORE THAN FORTY LAUNCHES
TO START.
Course Will Be Triangular One, and
Start Will Be Made from in Front
of the Clubhouse of Minnetonka
Boat Club-The Boats and Owners.

The power boat race at Minnetonka Sat-
urday afternoon will be a novel event in
the local sporting world, and that it is
appreciated by the motor boat owners is
evidenced by the fact that since Satur-
day over forty boats have been entered
from all around the lake. Last night
special meeting of the regatta committee
was held, and figuring out the classical
lions and time allowance took up the
greater part Of the meeting. The rules Of
the American Power Boat association have
been adopted, and the following applies to
the Minnetonka boats for classification and
time allowances: "Boats shall be rated for
classification and time allowance by a
rating which shall be determined by TAX
ing fifteen times the cube root Of the
square root Of the load waterline multi
piled by the horsepower and divided by
the area of midship section" According
to this rule, each of the boats will stand
a fair chance, and whatever disputes may
follow will be settled after the rules OF
the association.
The start will be made from the club
house at $3.50 o'clock, and the regular tri-
angular course will be covered. There is
to be handicap on start and the smallest
power boat will cross the line first. Five
handsome peEnants have been put up as
prizes, and if the race proves a success
a series of motor events will come off Ln-
der the auspices of the club. There will
be lively scramble around the buoys
and all sorts of amusing incidents are
sure to happen in the wild rush for the
honors One of the larger passenger
steamers will be chartered as judges boat
and will follow the races all afternoon
