PA'OE TEN HrEDFOKD MATL TRIBUTE, SIEDFORD, OREGON1. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1936. 10 WASHINGTON (UP) Because of Its v&lue as a forage crop that will regre&i arid land of low value, de mand for crested wheat grass seed exceeds the supply, according to a report from the department of agri culture. The grass was Introduced Into this country from the dry plains of Si beria. The unusual demand for 'seed was attributed to several causes. The excellent way In which the grass came back last year after two years of drought, 1U value for hay and pas ture, and the comparative ease with which It can be harvested and plant ed have proven Its value to the farm er, the department says. The agriculture department Is co operating with experimental stations In Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas and other northwestern states In com parison to this grass with brome, na tive and other grasses. Experiments made at Judith Bas;n, Mont., have disclosed that cattle pas tured more days and made greater gains on fewer acres of crested wheat grass than of brome or native grass. Wheatgrasa lasted 141 as com pared with 135 days for brome and S3 days for native grass. The average gain per steer In pounds was 291 for, wheatgraas, 249 for brome and 114 forj native grass. Similar results were ob tained at other stations, I The grass appears two or four weeks earlier than native grass In the spring, and lasts four to six weeks longer In the fall. If moisture condi tions are favorable. It makes hay of a higher quality. Is a good seed pro ducer, and Is an excellent grass to use In rotation, especially as a sod crop for flax. The grass was planted at Mandan In the spring of 1910, the first plant ing of this type of grass known at this Lime. The twentieth harvest was made this yesr with a yield of 3,121 pounds of air-dried hay per acre. Rust was prevalent throughout the area and many grasses were badly Infected. But no trace of rust has ever been found In crested wheat grass. HEMSTITCHING fie YARD. Buttons covered. Dressmaking. 203 South Front. Menus of the Day ' By MRS.
