GRASSES.
The varieties of grasses and clovers, found growing on the college
grounds, have made good progress during the past year, in nearly
every instance. The yield of hay, cut from several of the plats, will
be found in the table.
Of the Fescues, Fes/uca Eta/icr (Tall Fescue), is the most promising.
There is very little difference between this grass and the Feseuca Pra/eusis (English Blue Grass). The former, Tall Fescue, made a larger
growth, but is rather coarse for the best quality of hay. These grasses
grow in tufts or bunches, spreading slowly by the growth of these
tufts.
The Festuca Prateusis (English Blue Grass in the table) did
not make as coarse a growth as the former, and for this reason we would
place it first for hay. Both of these grasses are said to be very nutri-
tious, and readily eaten by stock. Of the smaller Fescues. the F.
durinscula (Hard Fescue), gave a light yield of hay. This grass is
better adapted to sow with a mixture for pasture. It is of little value
for hay. The other Fescues have maintained a very good growth and
are worthy of a trial for pasture purposes.
Meadow Foxtail arid Sweet Vernal grass are both thinly set, and do
not spread very much. These would be more valuable when sown
with other grasses, and would give better results for pasture purposes.
These varieties of grass mature earlier than any other varieties grown
on the station grounds, however, they do not maintain their vigor,
through the dry weather.
Orchard Grass and Tall Oat Grass mature about the same time, and
are among the
most
vigorous grasses
grown
on the
experi-
mental grounds. These grasses can be sown with clover successfully,
for they mature at about the same time, and add to the value of the
hay. There is some criticism upon the Orchard Grass, when grown
exclusively for hay, from the fact that it is inclined to be .too coarse.
4
No doubt this is mainly due to the fact that it is not generally cut
early enough. This grass, like many other varieties, passes the paint
for making the best hay very quickly. When it begins to turn brown
it is beyond the best stage for hay.
If grown for hay this grass
should be sown very thick, not less than ten to fourteen pounds of
seed to the acre.
'r. A. Cole, Madison county, N. V., in the New York Tribune,
says: *
"After twenty years' experience, I have setted down upon Orchard
Grass as possessing greater merits than any other, for both pasture and
meadow, for fattening animals or for dairy stock. When cut for
hay, just before bloom, and cured with as little sun as possible, it will
make more milk than any other variety known to me; if left to ripen
it is worthless.''
Further notes on Orchard Grass will be found under remarks on
pasture grasses.
Next to the Orchard Grass, perhaps, we would place the Tall Oat
This produced a large yield of hay which, when cut at the
Grass.
proper stage, is of very good feeding value. Like the Orchard Grass,
this grass should be cut early with no delay, for it changes very rapidly after blooming. For wood land pasture and for valley pasture as
ve1l, we believe the Oat Grass has many advantages; for it withstands
long continued drought better than many of the finer growing sorts.
The matter of growing early maturing grasses becomes of very great
importance, throughout a large portion of the State. Those varieties
which will grow rapidly, and mature from the moisture which remains
in the soil froni the winter rains, will he most successful. The growth
of timothy, because of the lack of moisture, was very materially checked last season. The growth of the red tops, except on moist land,
was also materially shortened by the lateness of the season, at which
they start to grow and reach maturity. Commoii red clover, which
is several weeks earlier than the mammoth red clover, made a larger
growth owing to the dry weather affecting the latter, after the common red clover had reached maturity.
Such varieties should be grown as will reach maturity before the dry

and June, is very low throughout a large portion of the valley, and for
this reason the moisture which remains over from the winter rains must
constitute the principal source of moisture for plants.
The English or Perennial Rye Grass, made a larger growth than the
Italian Rye Grass, both on the white land and on the higher dark
land; and the English Rye Grass made an excellent second growth as
well. Of the grasses which prodice a good, firm sod on the white
land, there are none which have done better than the Agros/is S/a/on//era (creeping bent grass). This grass grows close to the ground, the
stalks not reaching more than a foot in height at any time. The leaves
are very fine, and the tufts spread rapidly, forming a thick mat which
would withstand much treading by stock, no doubt. At this date,
March 1St, there is no grass on the white land, that produces a better
scd than the Creeping Bent Grass, hence for pasture purposes this
grass i worthy of a more extended trial.
Texas Blue Grass (Poa Arach/era), has made a good growth during
the past year, and has spread very rapidly, until now it covers the entire plat, and is sending up shoots in the path which surrounds the plat.
While the stalks sent up are thinly distributed over the plat, the ground
is velI covered with leaves, which grow at the base.
This grass starts early in the spring and maintains a green, fresh
growth throughout the dry weather, and has kept green all winter.
This variety of grass has proved valuable in some of the States where a
hotter climate prevails; and so far its indications are favorable for a
pasture grass, throughout a large portion of this State. More seed has
been procured, with a view of testing the value of this grass on a larger
scale. The habit of the grass is to send out numerous shoots from the
root stalks, thus enabling the plants to spread very rapidly.
Of the grasses which were grown on the white land, Tall Fescue gave
the largest yield of hay, and Musquit next; but neither of these were
as good in quality as Orchard Grass, Oat Grass or Red Top, all of
which did fairly well. Hard Fescu, Italian Rye Grass, and Meadow
Foxtail, are thinly set, and did not give as large a yield as some others. Avina Fiavescus (Yellow Oat Grass) has made a better sod on
the white land than the Tall Oat Grass, and it starts earlier than the
latter and keeps green later in the season. These grasses which grow
in tufts or bunches, would give better results if sown in a mixture;
6
and in fact there are very few of the grasses that would not give better
results if sown in this manner. A mixture of grasses, makes a bette:
quality of hay, and more pasture of a better quality, than when the
same varieties are sown senarately.
Timothy and Alsike Clover, sown in mixture, made a good set, and
yielded a large amount of hay of excellent quality. These were sown
upon land just bordering on the white land. The Aliske Clover matures later than the common Red Clover, hence is better adapted to
sowing with Timothy. There is a strong objection to sowing Aliske
Clover from the fact that it is inclined to fall down, and become entangled so much that it is difficult to cut and cure. The timothy helps
to support the clover, thus preventing its falling on to the ground.
While the results of the plat experiments are valuable, as being indicative of more or lesssuccess in practice, yet definite conclusiom can
not be reached, untfl a more thorough trial has been made in the
field.
For this reason a series of plas, consisting of several acres each,
will be seeded with different varieties of grasses and clovers, and a
mixture of these, to determine their value in a more practical way.
YIELD OF GRASSES AND CLOVERS FOR HAY.
An effort was made to test the yield of several varieties of cloveix
and grasses for hay, the resultsof which are found in the table. The grass
was cut when it was thought to be at the proper stage to make the best
quality of hay. 'l'he first weight was taken immediately after the grass
was cut, and the second when the grass was sufficiently dry to
make good hay. The weather was very favorable during the time that
the grass was exposed. The yields, as found in the table, from the
small pl3ts on the dark land were very large in many instances; but
the small areas should be taken into account in studying the results
given.
They were practically all grown on the same kind of soil, and
under the same conditions. The plats varied in size, but the most of
them were jo by 30 feet.
It will be noticed that the early maturing grasses and clovers gave
the largest yield, excepting the Meadow Foxtail and Sweet Vernal
grasses. These were thinly set and were past the stage for giving the
best results. The plats on the white land were about x-r6 of an acre
in size.
7
There has been some inquiry regarding the growth of Alfalfa. Small
plats were sown to Alfalfa, but has not done as well as some of the
clovers. The dry weather injured the Alfalfa, more than it did the
common clovers. Throughout the valley, where the soils are
undrained, and are what is termed heavy, I do not think Alfalfa will
be a success.
PASTURING.
Five sheep were confined on some of the plats, at different intervals, to determine something regarding the power of the grasses to
start again after close pasturing. Orchard grass possesses this requisite to a remarkable degree. This grass was pastured, until there were
no green leaves in sight, and then allowed to recover, which it did in
about four week, producing an average growth of eight inches. It
was again pastured to the ground, after which it was allowed to start,
and t made an average growth this time of five inches, before being
checked by the dry weather.
The Musquit, Rye grasses, and the Brome grasses were not so readily eaten, as the other varieties which were pastured. While the Tall
Fescue is a coarse grass, it was closely cropped, and seemingly very
much, relished by the sheep. Sheep's Fescue and Meadow Foxtail
were only fairly well eaten, however, the latter was too far matured
for the best results. The Oat grasses were readily eaten, and put
forth a very vigorous second growth.
This matter of testing grasses for pasturage is an important one, and
one which we shall pursue further, hoping to reach results that will be
of some benefit to those who are interested in producing good permanent pastures.

NOTES ON POTATOES.
OBJECTS OF THE WORKS
A large number of varieties of potatoes were grown on the station
farm, for the purpose of obtaining some varieties which would prove
more valuable than the varieties generally grown throughout the State.
Many of the varieties were grown, only in small plats, while others
were grown in large enough area to warrant a computation of the
yield per acre.
Another object in the future will be to classify, so far as possible,
this large number of so-called varieties, uxler a few names or types.
The casual observer would see at once that there are many of the
named varieties, which are alike in every particular, so far as practical
results are concerned To have a large number of names for practically the same variety, is very misleading indeed.
METHOD OF CULTtVATION.
The potatoes were grown on the dark loam found on the upland of
the valley. No manure was applied, except in the plats mentioned.
The ground vas prepared by plowing and harrowing thoroughly. The
seed was cut into pieces, having two and three eyes, and one piece was
dropped into each hill ; and the hills were placed three feet apart in the
rows, which were furrowed out three feet apart, and four inches deep.
No effort was made to hill up the potatoes; level cultivation is
thought to be the best. This is a point which has been very well established in practice, but is not universally adopted. When we think of
the matter carefully, we are bound to see that the ground kept level
and stirred frequently on top, will hold the moisture better than when
thrown up in ridges; and, moisture coming to the ground in the
form of rain, will reach the roots better, if the ground is kept level.
Some may think that the potatoes are more exposed in the hill, if the
dirt is not thrown up, but this is not the case, if the potatoes are
planted at a good depth. A small five-trothed iron cultivator was
used for the most part, in tending the potatoes.

No. 3 is a cut of the Early Sunrise. This is one of the best early
varieties grown in large enough area to test the yield. The Early
Sunrise is one of the earliest sorts grown, and produces edible potatoes
earlier than any other early variety tested. Although the tubers may
be only partially grown they are comparatively free from the soggy
condition that prevails in most varieties at this stage. The skin is
slightly flesh colored, but the flesh is very white and clear. Cut No. 4

If cooked with the "jacket '' on, the deep eyes are still a
great hinderance in cleansing.
Some of the rough, coarse varieties
are very prolific and vigorous, and on the strength of these qualities are highly advertised.
Such varieties should be purchased with
caution, until the quality has been thoroughly tested. This cut represents the variety known as Garner Chili. It is given as a type, which
is characteristic of mans varieties. The deep eyes are not well shown
in the cut.
There are two varieties, grown in small quantities, which indicate
very good results. One of these, Rochester's Favorite, resembles the
Burbank Seedling somewhat, except it is not quite so long, and has a
little thicker, rougher skin.
It may be a little earlier in ripening,
but there is very little difference in this particular.
Another variety, which gives promise of very good results, is Watson's Seedling. This is an early maturing variety, which is smooth
and uniform in size, a good yielder, and a vigorous grower. The skin
is flesh colored, and the inside is very white and free from any black
spots In other States this variety has done remarkably well, and the
indications are very favorable for it here at the station.
At the end of the present season the station will have a sufficient supply, of some of the leading varieties, to furnish enough seed for a test
in various parts of the State. It is the object of the station to send
out to the farmers of the State, an' of these new varieties which promise to excel the varieties already grown.

FERTILIZER TESTS.
In table No. z, the results of the application of commercial fertilizers are given. The fertilizer was applied, when the potatoes were
planted, by spreading it in the furrows, and then carefully working it
into the soil with the hoe. The lightest yields are given in case of the
Nitrate of Soda, and the Kanite (Sulphate of Potash). These manures
are too strong for the young shoots when applied in this manner. The
Mexican Guano gave the best results, as seen in the table. There was
a marked distinction in the vigor of growth of the potatoes, where this
fertilizer was applied. Mape's Potato Fertilizer is next in value as
show by the increase in yield. The Bone Meal would have given better results, no doubt, had there been more moisture during the season.
Another experiment was tried, by preparing a deep trench, and applying Mape's Potato Fertilizer and the Mexican Guano, at the rate of
1,200 lbs. per acre. The dirt was thrown out of the trench, to the
depth of eight orten inches, and the soil loosened in the bottom of
the trench several inches deeper. Then the fertilizer 'ias sifted into
the trench, and well mixed with the soil. In mixing the fertilizer
with the soil the trench was partially filled. The potatoes were then
dropped in the trench, and covered even with the surface. In this
experiment the M. P. Fertilizer gave the best results, as seen in table
No.
.
DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF SEED.
An experiment was tried to test the effect of planting whole potatoes
compared with seed cut into pieces having one eye, and two and three
eyes on each piece. Five pounds of seed was cut into pieces, having
only one eye 00 each piece. The pieces were dropped in furrows,
one piece in a place, making the hills about a foot apart.
The second plat was planted with the same amount of seed, cut to
two and three eyes, and seed placed eighteen inches apart in the tow.
Plat No. was planted with five lbs. of whole potatoes, which were
dropped three feet apart in the row.
Five pounds of seed cut to one eye extended over one-third more
ground than the whole potatoes, and one-fourth more ground than the
two and three eye pieces
i8
The yield is given in table, and is slightly in favor of the one eye
Seed cut to one eye will extend over more ground, and if the
conditions are favorable good results will follow. If the soil is too
dry there will be some danger of the pieces drying up before they can
send out shoots. The potatoes were more uniform in size from the
one eye plat. This experiment and fertilizer experiments will be tested
plant.
