Awnless Brome Grass. Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bulletin No. S2, March 21. 1BU0 Awnl ess brome grass (bromus inermis) which is now attracting considerable attention, is a native of Europe, tlso called^ Hungarian brome \ustrian brome grass and RusIt grass sian brome grass, from the fact of its being q tries. (Jalifori ment drouth be well gions it of the xtensively grown in these counThis grass was introduced into nia .about 1880. by the experitation of that state. It has since beefi tested in several Western and northwestern states. It endures ancf cold well and appears to adapted to the semi-arid re1 the west and northwest parts United States. Experiment stations located in the above named sections of the country report yields produced by awnless brome grass, ranging from U to 31 tons to the acre, ahd fair to good in quality. This grass starts early in the spr ing and produces^ good second growth after cutting for hay, which makes it valuable for grazing. The Indiana experiment station has made several attempts to grow the awnless brome grass, but with poor success thus far. This has perhaps been chiefly due to poor seed. JWhen sown here along side of timothy, red top and orchard grass* the awnless brome grass has not at all compared with them either in germination, early growth or yield. Bromus inermis is said to be adapted to loose soils which are not too dry,but it wall do better on rich, moist soils, Mr. J. E. Dyar of Howard county, is well pleased with its record on his clay farm. Its growth the first year is very feeble, b|at in two or three years, owing i to its underground stems, it makes t#o fT dense a sod for a good meadow. For -the above reasons it is a better pasture RoVal Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum.

than hav grass. Owing to its weak, early growth, it is best to sow it alone on well prepared clean ground. Spring sowing is recommended, and the mower should be used from time to tiihe the first year, to keep down stronger growing weeds and grasses. By the second season, if good seed has been used, it will have made sufficient headway to hold its own against other vegetation. For hay sow two, and for pasture three bushels per acre. It may be sown as early as the land will bear working and it should be harrowed into ground previously well prepared. It will be well to roll after sowing if the weather is clear. Owing to its slowness of development, bromus inermis is -not a good syop to be grown in a rotation. It may prove highly advantageous* however, as a grazing grass on soils which 3o not produce a good growth of the more common grasses. It is suggested therefore, that those on whose farms, clover, timothy, orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass do not grow well, may find it to their advantage to try bromus inermis in a small way at first, and increase the area as the results may warrant.

Another Pioneer Has Fallen. Joseph Corn, father of Recorder .Corn, died March 19,1900, after but a few minutes of marked illness, aged 170 years, 4 months and 8 days. He i was one of a family of eight sons and three daughters,* only one of which, [(Uncle George Corn), still survives. | He leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters, a great many grand children and great-grand children, who will ever cherish his memory. Uncle Joe had sonie amiable characteristics that are worthy of mention: 1. He never could say no to the poor and needy. -. He never fretted or complained of his lot or fate, though it has been a hard one, having been broken up two or three times in life. 3. Though often advised to take the benefit of the law to save himself he never would, but seemed to have faith that in the future he would be able to meet all demands, which he lived long enough to see and realize; thus vindicating David’s assertion: “I have been young, now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful and lendeth, and ; his seedhs blessed.” Ps. 37; 25, 2ti. He | leaves 180 acres of land unincumbered j to his wife with a. sufficiency of stock and provisions. 4. He was a safe counselor and a successful stock raiser and trader/ 5. He was kind, sympathetic and gentle in word and deed to friend or foe, and a member for years of the General Baptist church. The interment took place March 21st, attended by a large circle of relatives and friends,*in the quiet little family cemetery on his own farm, •where he was born and raised. ‘•In the future: * Happily some hoary-headed swain may say. Oft have we seen him at the peepof dawn. Brushing with hasty steps the dew away, to meet the sun upon the upland lawn. “Now, Here rests his head upon the lap of earth. A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown; Fair Science frowned not on hishumhle birth. And Benefaction marked him for her own. "Large was his bounty and his soul sincere. Heaven die a recompense as largely send: He gave to Misery what he could, and a tear: He gained from Heaven, twas all he wished —a friend.” J. T. Miller.
