working on an afghan, make
sure and tie all knots on un
derside and leave the strand of
wool long enough so that it can
be woven into underside of ar

not leave anv loose ends. This
same suggestion could apply to
other knitted articles.

itor. The score card for knitted ar
ticles Is:
General appearance 20
Color & Design 20

Fawn Fescue Replacing
Alta as Forage Grass
Alta fescue, a variety of tall
fescue, has been a very good
forage grass over the years for
most of Oregon. No other grass
variety has shown such wide
adaptability to soil, moisture
and climate conditions. It has
been a popular grass for Mor
row county irrigated pastures.
Alta has done well in pasture
with limited water as well as
pastures overirngated.
Alta fescue with all its ad
vantages is being replaced by
Fawn fescue. Growers of Fawn
report it being superior to Alta
in palatability and has great
er acceptance by sheep and oth
er livestock. Rod Frakes, OSU
plant breeder, said fawn has
improved seedling vigor and
carries its forage leaves high on
the stem. Forage yields of Fawn
tall fescue during a 5-year per
iod were 13 more than Alta.
Fawn is available from seed
