HOWELL Tests On New Grass PrpTe Satisfactory I i DRUG STORE More People WANTING Chevrolet^! GETTING . Chevrolets! DRIVING^ Chevrolets! Tall fescue, a relatively new grass in North pirolina, has part ly solved the loag-felt need for a more productive grass for poor ly ^^^ined soils where redtc^ has been used, and for an early ^ass to grow with ladino clover in the East, according to Dr. R. L. Lav- vom. Agronomy Extension speC' ialist at State College. This grass which should not be confused with meadow fescue, is a tall growing bunch grass .Jhat has the same type of growth as orchard grass, the specialist said. It is very green in color, being darker than most of the peren nial grasses, and 'it will remain greener in midsummer and mid winter than does orchard grass, Also, it is seemingly adapted to a wider range of soil conditions than orchard grass. The two wartimes of tall fesuue that are available\in a limited way are Kentucky 31, or Suiter, and Alta. The Kentucky 31 was developed by th'e Kentucky Ex periment Station from a selection on the farm” of a Mr.- Suiter in Kentucky. Thefefpr^, '■ it^ is often- referred to as Suiter grass. Alta fescue was developed by the Ore gon Experiment Station,^ . 'From experiments carified on in- 1945 the'following yields from tall fescue were obtained: Alta fescue, 2, 555 i>ounds dry matter per acre; Kehtucky 31 (Suiter) 2,492 pounds dry matter per acre; N. C. Strain, 3,157 dry matter par acre; Orchard grass 1,829 pounds dry matter per acre. Only one cutting was made during the summer of 1945 but during the following summer, five harvests wereTnade. These were as follows: Alta fescue, 5,161 pounds dry matter per. acre; Kentucky Annual Report JULY, 1946 TO JULY, 1947 Following is a list of the action taken in each of its nine fields of endeavor by the Hoke County Health Department in the past yoar: Because Only Chevrolet Gives Big-Car Quality At Lowest Cost!
