 Dear Press:
 am sending herewith letter which l have just received from the office of seed and plant introduction and distrI- button. Washington. relative to the great hay plant, Para Grass This grass Is said to exceed alfalfa In pro- ductIve qualities and l am sure that the superior soils of the Imperial val ley with Its immense irrigation advant- ages will make this the coming fatten- Ing fodder for your beef cattle. The letter and circular explain fully and a few parties desiring to test this should make immediate application to Mr.. Mckee or myself and will see to 1t that they are supplied with the roots. As soon as the mating grass roots are ready. which l wrote to you about some time ago, intend to see that you are supplied with same for experl- mental purposes.
 Sincerely yours,
 Clifford Cogglns.

 Dear Sir:
 We are very much interested In testing Para grass on the tule lands in your state and are writing to you at the suggestion of Mir. J. H. Tull. of this bureau, to ascertain whether you would care to experiment with the grass on small scale this season.
 Para grass has given considerable promise in the south and we are of the opinion that 1t can be grown success fully on the tule areas. The grass is propagated by root cuttings and we are instructing our Prof. Tracy, Biloxi Miss, who is in charge of its distribu- ton. to forward a quantity of roots to
