ST DRIVE IN RUN! cm Grass Crop Yield Reported Good in County This Year Harvest of merion bluegrass and poly cross bent grass is now in progress and yields of both crop are good this year, accord ing to W. B. (Ben) Tucker, county extension agent for agriculture. Tucker said Otto Bohnert, Cen tral Point, and the local experi ment station officials are har vesting about 840 pounds of mer ion bluegrass seed per acre de spite a slight' outbreak of rust growth on some plants at Boh nert's farjn. The seed is expect ed to bring more than $3.00 per pound. Bohnert also has 17 acres of polycross bent grass, which is ex pected to bring more than $15 per pound. The county agent added that a "very good" crop of penlawn fescue has already been harvest ed and should bring $10 to $12 per pound. This is a new var iety of seed for this area, he said, and was planted just last year. It has not yet reached its maximum production year. In Demand The three seed varieties are in particular demand for golf courses, Tucker explained. Poly cross bent grass is especially fav ored for this purpose because it is shallow-rooted, can be cut close and offers little resistance to a golf ball. It also has a uni form color, but requires more water than either penlawn fes cue or merion bluegrass he point ed out. Merion bluegrass is deep rooted and is especially used for putting greens. Talent alfalfa seed is selling for 38 cents per pound this year and Greece is in the market for up to 50 tons, Tucker said. The improved strain of ladino clov er, growing mostly in the Sam's Valley area, is expected to bring 60 to 75 cents per pound. The common ladino clover seed last year brought about 60 cents per pound, but it is expected to sell at a slightly reduced price this year because of a large accum ulated surplus. The Improved strain, the coun ty agent said, has ' been highly successful here and is now being grown by three Sam's Valley area farmers as well as some in other states, including Washing ton and California. He said this variety is generally recognized to be superior to the common ladino clover seed. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK Portland (UP.) Cattle 650.
