SHORTAGE GRASS
SEED=EXPECTED

A shortage Of tame grass seed in
the near future, is the anticipation of
c. A, Sahr, agronomist of the federal
experiment station. In his annual re-
port he says about seed distribution:
During the early part of the fiscal
year the demand for seeds and cut
tings was chiefly for pasturipg and
soiling crops. In lots of so pounds
each, seed Of several tame grasses
were imported from the mainland for
distribution among the farmers and
graZiers at the higher elevation.
distribution OF this seed, however,
was deferred in order to meet a pos
sible shortage of seed in the near fu-
ture. The distribution Of preparatory
portions ofsfood plants by this division
has been limited largely to cavassa
cuttings, of which $1,000 were dis
tributed between April / and June 80,
1917, and edible Gamma, of which 1900
pounds of tubers were sent out for
home garden planting"
