ORECON-MADE GRASS SEED
LOOMS AS A POSSIBILITY
Thousands of Acres Now Seeded An
nually With Imported Seed
Offer Good Demand.

Corallis, Ore, June 5.-Grass SEED
grown in Oregon offers new oppor-
tunity for the State to work toward
its commercial independence. Every
year thousands of acres of logged-off
and burnt-over lands are seeded to
grass, mostly with imported seed.
For the most part grasses suited
to the burned over lands may be
grown for seed in the Willamette val
ley" says G. r. Hyslop of o. A. C.
"A good clean stand of English or
Italian rye grass in white lang
sloughs may profitably be left to ma
ture for seed, when it is cut with a
binder and threshed The seed may
be sold through the seed trade, to
logging companies, or to persons in
terested in large areas of livestock
range. Rye grass should be harvest
ed before dead ripe to prevent shat
tering, and loss of color The right
time Is when it is in the hard dough
stage. If low weeds are present it
should be cut with header or self
rake set rather high, to leave the
weed seed out.
Culture of rye or orchard grass
or tall grass offers many alluring
possibilities on some of the lands too
heavy to be plowed profitably each
year. Getting them laid down to a
good perennial grass for seed pur-
poses should produce profitable crops
needed in the agricultural systems of
the Pacific Northwest. A single seed
company writes that they can handle
500 tons of English or Italian rye
grass year, and that they import 1t
only because of the difficulty of get
ting pure, homegrown seed"
