Mr, William C. Ferguson,
37 Atlantic Ave.,
Hempstead, H. Y.
Dear Mr. Ferguson:
Your letter of Hovember 9th has been received. Hordeum
jubatum is native and widespread in the plains and prairies
of the United States and Canada* Whether it would have
reached the Atlantic coast if man had never occupied this
continent and cleared away forests who can say. Its seed
habits give it every opportunity to spread wherever there are
grazing animals,or even stretches of open land, for the long
awned joints of the rachis fly before-the wind. I should
consider it native of any originally open region of the
eastern United States. In deforested lands 4t must be
introduced.	'
Thank you very much for the specimens you sre sending us.
Very sincerely yours,
Agnes Chase, Acting Systematic Agrostol-
ogist, Bureau of Plant Industry.
