Experimental Grass
Plantings on View,
Public is Invited
Experimental plantings of nine
varieties of lawn grasses, made
in the fall of 1953, are open for
public inspection at the South
ern Oregon Experimental farm
just west of Talent, it was re
ported today.
They are grown side by side
so that the merits of each can
be easily observed. The experi
ment is of particular value to
those planning to plant a new
lawn, it was pointed out. The
varieties being grown include
kentucky bluegrass, merion blue
grass, creeping red fescue, illa-
hee red fescue? chewing fescue,
highland bent, astoria' bent, alta
fescue and hard fescue.
Two other plots contain va
rious mixtures of the lawn
grasses.
Planting Rale Told
Grasses in the demonstration
were planted in October, 1953, at
the following rates per 250
square feet of area: Bentgrasses,
34 pound, alta fescue, 2 pounds,
other fescues and bluegrasses
Vz pounds per 250 square feet
The mixtures were composed of
equal parts by weight of each of
the three grasses used and seeded
at the rate of 2 pounds per 2o0
square feet.
Ammonium sulfate was ap
plied at the rate of one pound
per 100 square feet before plant
ing, also each spring and fall
since. All plots were sprayed
with amine 2, 4-D in the late
spring of 1954 at the rate of one
pound of actual acid per acre
for control of broadleaf weeds
which were principally dande
lions and plantain.
Vary in Qualities
There is no one type or variety
of lawn grass that is best for all
situations. Some require more
water than others. Some will tol
erate shade better than others.
They differ in their creeping ten
dencies, hence in ability to re
cover from scars after the neigh
borhood football tussle. Some
sneak into the flower beds and
shrubbery much . worse than
ethers. They differ in amount of
cushioning effect, density, and
color.
Lawns require time, effort and
money to establish and maintain.
Time and thought spent in se
lecting the best type of grass for
the conditions should pay good
dividends in satisfaction for
years.

victed of extortion bomb threats
