PARA GRASS (PANIcuM MoLLE)

PARA GRASS (PANIcuM MoLLE)
 This grass Is native of South America and has been grown some what commonly In Florida. to a very slight extent in southern Texas and oc- casionally throughout the Gulf coast region. It Is perennial which makes its best growth on damp soils. though 1t has been fairly successful on Texas ranches where irrigation Is needed for most other crops. It Is not injured by prolonged overflows, making vigorour growth where the lana Is under water several weeks ltis especially valuable for planting on ditch banks. on the margins of ponds and on soils too wet and "seepy' for the cultivation of oth- CT crops. It Is used for both hay and pasture. Para grass will not withstand a lower temperature than 24 degrees F. It Is therefore adapted only to the extreme southern portion of the coun- try and California. It has succeeded as far north as Charleston, s. c.
 PIanttng-Para grass Is usually propagated by planting pieces of the running stems, which often make a growth of 20 to 40 feet in a season. Pieces of the stems from l2 to IS inches long and having three or four joints grow rapidly when simply pushed

down Into freshly plowed ground, so propagation Is neither difficult nor ex- penslve. If cuttings are planted 10
 feet apart each way. they will cover
 the ground In the course of season.
 This Is the best way to secure large
 number of cuttings for planting the
 next season. When the supply Is suf-
 flcient It Is much better to plant only
 about feet apart In each direction, as
 when thickly planted the stems are not
 nearly so coarse. The first growth
 from the cuttings Is In long, prostrate
 runners, but as soon as the ground be- comes fairly we'll covered It becomes more erect. soon reaching height of 3 to 4 feet, so the closer the cuttings are planted the sooner a crop wIl be secured.
 Uses-lf wanted for hay. Para grass should be cut when It reaches 3 to 4 feet In height. From three to five cuttings may be made In a season and as from l to 3 tons of hay are secured at each cutting. the total yield Is quite heavy. Both Texas and Florida grow CTS report having made as much as l2 tons of hay per acre In a season. The hay Is rather coarse. but Is of excellent quality. When used for pasture the grass stands tramring well and Is rel lshed by all kinds of stock.
 The yield Is greatly Increased by an- nual plowlngs. Some growers prefer to blow in November or December, as blowing at that time Is sure to cover portions of the stems. so that they will be we'll protected In case of a freeze, while other cultlvators. living below the frost line. prefer to blow In July, sacrl- flclng one midsummer cutting of hay. but loosenlng the soil so as to secure heavy August and October cuttings and abundant winter grazing. An an- nual blowing Is certainly beneficial, but the season when 1t can be done to best advantage seems wholly matter of the probable winter temperature. While this grass makes very long runners which root at every joint. the runners are wholly above the surface of the ground and so can be destroyed with out great trouble. This grass should be extensively tried under irrigation in Arizona and California. It Is one of the very few grasses known that will yield as heavily In gross tonnage as al- falfa. There Is reason to believe also that In a dry climate satisfactory seed can be grown
