His object was to produce a new type of grass that would have the perennial habit and drouth resistant quali ties of wild rye grass' and the palatability and high seed pro duction of the wheat plant. seed in 1939 sold University-certifiefor 85 cents a pound in lots of more than 500 pounds . . . but the demand far exceeded the supply. The grass is the product of a cross between Mosida (winter wheat) and Ulymus condensatus (a large coarse bunch perennial rye grass). The seed, its producer explained, 'should be seeded as early as possible seed in the fall on a moist, bed at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds per acre. It can be planted with a grain drill The corp can be harvested with an ordinary binder or a combine. , The seeds thrash freely from the straw when ripe and no special threshing equipment is needed. A Moscow, Idaho, dairyman reported: Cuttle are greedy for the grass. i believe it is similar to winter wheat for pasture hue it grows many times as fast.

He added, ideal grass for rapid rehabilitation of areas devastated by forest fires be cause of its vigor and adaptability to k soil on burned over ranges. In the fall of 1933 over 1,000 lbs. of reselected seed was. distributed to county agents in northern and southern Idaho for demonstration purp.s es, said Prof. Michels in a recent bulletin. This method provided a wide distribution of seed, for trial purposes under varying soil, moisture and climatic conditions. Demonstrations ranged in size from one to 20 acres. These trials were conducted on dryland, desert and irrigated' soils. Mosi of the plantings were made early in the fall, and early plantings at the rate o 10 to 20 lbs. of seed to the acre produced the highest seed yields, regardless of the type of land. lands in Yields on northern and southeastern Idaho produced at the rate of 600 to 1.800 lbs. cf seed per acre. Plantings on desert iand that had been disked before plant ing produced satisfactory summer pasture and grain yields. Seeding with a grain drill at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds of seed1 to an acre of land appeared to be the most satisfactory method and rate of seeding for the grass. On Sept. 14, 1939, Paul A. Eke, sec ' retary of the Latah County Idaho Seed Growers Association at Moscow, issued this statement: ' Michels grass is the latest addition to promising perennial forage and pasture grasses.
