Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
EVERYONE H tamililr with ths
prunes, the pears and tha pota
toes of Southern Oregon the three
crops whose production In Oregon l
dominated by this region.
Fewer people are familiar with poa
bulbosa, the winter blue grass, whose
present commercial production Is con
fined largely to Jackson county.
Yet It Is possible that In time poa
bulbosa may equal, or even enceed.
these other crops in commercial Im
portance. M
HERE Is the particular thing about
this winter blue grass that gives
it unusual Importance:
It grows In the winter, when other
grasses, such as alfalfa, are dormant,
and It lies dormant In the summer,
when the other grasses are growing.
HERE Is the way they work it:
They seed winter blue grass
with alfalfa, and along in the fall,
when the first rain comes. It begins
to grow. They pasture it all winter.
In Jackson county, except for about
a month of the coldest weather.
Then In the spring they take the
stock off, the winter blue grass goes
dormant and the alfalfa comes on.
They cut Just as big a crop of alfalfa
as If the land hadn't been pastured In
the winter bigger, as a matter of
fact, on account of the fertilization
involved In pasturage.
EVEK this rotation, which doubles
the usefulness of the land,
doesn't wholly tell the story.
, The winter blue grass produces hu
mus and consumes nitrogen. Alfalfa
produces nitrogen and consumes hu
mus. . ,-....t-
80, you see, one hand washes the
other. Poa bulbosa feeds the alfslfa
and the alfalfa feeds poa bulbosa.
. What hae been said so far concerns
the rich bottom lands, where alfalfa
1 grown. But that doesn't tell the
whole story, by any means.
Winter blue grsss, when properly
seeded and a good stand secured,
grows on the thinner lands of the
hills. It thrives under oak trees, and
seems to grow even under the resin
ous pines and firs.
Hill grasses are scares In Southern
Oregon. A thoroughly successful hill
grass will add Immensely to our pas
ture resources.'
WHY Is good pasture so tremen
dously Important, you ask?
Here la the reason: Because pasture
and successful dairying go hand in
hand. Tillamook, Oregon'a outstand
ing dairying region, is a pasture
country.
Denmark and Australia, the two
great dairy countries of the world, are
pasture countries. Pasturing cows Is
the CHEAP and efficient way to pro
duce milk.
Where milk Is proiuced cheaply, so
that the dairyman doesn't have to
spend all he makes for feed and la
bor. It Is possible to show a profit,
under conditions where a profit would
otherwise be impossible.
WHERE did poa bulbosa, the win
ter blue grass come from.
Well, that is a long story, and there
are many theories, but It is sufficient
here to say that it was first develop
ed commercisily by C. C. Hoover, on
the Hanley and Hoover ranch near
Jacksonville,
Mr. Hoover noticed a little patch
of it more than a decade ago, and ob
served that It seemed to flourish In
the winter and that cattle fed on It
persistently.
80 he set to work to develop It and
see what It was good for.
THE more he worked with It, the
more impressed he becsme. He
had a bunch of cows, snd he knew
the supreme importance of feeding
them chesply If he were to have any
thlnk left over to show for his work
at the end of the year.
The Hanley and Hoover ranch the
Hanley Is E. B. Hanley, of Seattle,
brother of Bill Hanley, of Burns Is
chiefly rich bottom land, but It com
mands a view all around of hills,
where little or no grass grows. Mr.
Hoover could see the fxwlbiiitin on
both kinds of lands.
He threshed some of the grass and
got seed, and part of this seed he
used and a greater part he gave away.
He got so deeply Into the habit of
gnlng sey the seed of Ills new grew

Appeals Contemplated
Appeals to the state supreme court

A summary of the findings in the
Pehl case, which is reviewed at length
by the court is as follows:
That no grounds were submitted.
Justifying the granting of a. new trial:
that the verdict was within the evi
