The Merits of Blue Grass.

though perhaps not always as high
as it should. but for many of its
good offices the blue grass is not
given full credit or full opportunity
to do its best. While taking a
cross-field walk on a bright wintry
day the value of blue grass for pro-
tecting the feet from mud was en-
phasized. Wherever there was
blue grass sod along fence row
or bordering a little stream, walk
ing was good. The sun shone so
warm that between these stretches
of grass there was a sticky mud.
This led to a study of the ways of
this humble friend of ours. While
driving over several country roads
l noticed those which had a good
stand of blue grass along their Dor
der were almost free from weeds,
while the stretches not protected
were a tangle of all kinds native to
our part of the state. Blue grass is
an aggressive plant but needs some
help in its efforts to crowd out its
neighbors. Where the law is en-
forced requiring all weeds to be cut
along the highways, it spreads its
luxuriant growth close to the beaten
track and against the fences along
the way.
Another virtue in a good blue
grass sod, is, that it prevents wash
ing The farmers realize this when
they put the hillsides and rough
lands in the blue grass pasture, but
it answers the same good end where
it borders the roadway, covering
the grounds about the house, OF
checks the force of the flooding
rains. On one farm where the
watershed is at distance of nearly
a mile from the house. the floods
come with a good deal of force fol
a few hours after a heavy rain
Right across their track is fence
bordered on each side by heavy
growth of blue grass and this safe
guards the garden and grounds
lying beyond it. Its owner instead
of having a neverending warfare
with weeds and gullies, gives a
fraction of the time they would re-
quire to caring for the blue grass.
A muddy doorway is constant
source of annoyance. The dog runs
across it and then into the house OF
over the porch floor, the chickens
load their feet with mud and get in
to the nests and wipe it off on the
eggs. A good bluegrass sod will
prevent all of this. A thick sod
with its hungry roots is one of the
best projections from much contain
ination around well. Those things
that would be poison in the wei
are food to the grass and are
changed by it into food for ami
mails.
Upon looking for the benefits tn
blue grass gives, the items to it
credit multiply. While visiting
neiehbor and walking over the farm
noticed his lane was we'll grasse
almost the entire length, and wa
just as useful for pasture as thu
grass in the field. A long lane Civ
ing no returns to the farm excep
as a lane is an expensive bit {
land. AS source pleasuse becaus
of its beauty, bluegrass is winnin
its way steadily. Well kept lawn
have increased notably in bot
country and town.
Time and expense which at frs
are grudgingly given to the law
soon are felt to be well spent. an
