Hon. fe ll. Scott, of Sycamore
Jownship was a caller Tuesday in com- ,
pany with his son fi. A. Scott, He
broughtin some specimens of a new |
species of grass which has just appear-
ed on his farm and promises to take
•the place of the native prairie grass
¿that has now become so nearly extin-
guished. The grass is of a pale bluish
green, grows short but forms a very
thick turf, crowding out all weeds. 'It
stands dry weather'well and makes ex-
cellent'feed. It is also spreading ra-
idly and looks as if it would fill up old |
pastures that have become bare.
What is the name of the species '•r,
where it comes from is unknown; but if
it gives us a grass that can be relied on i
in our hot, dry summers, it will indeed
prove a godsend to the farmers of South^,
era Kansas. Since Mr. Scott brought
it in I have noticed that the same spe-
cies is getting a foothold in our streets ,
where grass was unknown before; and
Mr. E. J. Tibbie informs me that it
has also introduced itself in Eutland
township,where he has observed it for
two or three years past. It looks as if
it belonged to that innumerable family
otpanicums of which'the crab grass is a
member, though it doesn’t spread by i
rooting in the same way. The seed
stalks are numerous and very fine and I
small, though several inches long, and I
spread out from nearly the same point I
on the stem in all directions and from |
horizontal to perpendicular. Speci-I
mens will be sent east for identifica-1
