Tropical Grass GiveS
Perfume and Feed

One of this country's smallest
crops is put to two very different
uses-perfume and cattle feed, &C
cording to Agriculture Department
plant scientists.
This is a tall-growing, bunchy
tropical grass called lemongrass be-
cause of the lemon fragrance In
the essential oil it contains. The
oil distilled from this grass is used
widely in the manufacture of per.
fumes, soaps and cosmetics, because
Of its fresh sweet scent. It is also
used like citronella as an insect
repellent, and even goes into the
making of some furniture polishes
About thousand acres Of lemon
grass are under cultivation in tht
reclaimed land of the Everglades
in Southern Florida by a large sugar
company. Sugar-cane laborers ir
their off-seasors grow, harvest ane
distill the grass. When the fragrant
oil has been removed. the grass
is combined with low-grade mo.
lasses from the sugar factory tt
make stock feed.
This is the only crop Of lemon
grass grown in the United States
and it furnishes very small par
Of the lemongrass oil used here
Most Of this Oil Is imported. India
Is the chief source, but both Hon
duras and Guatemala also send. ir
supplies.
