Excerpt from University of California Publications in Agricultural Sciences, 1917-1919, Vol. 3 A survey of the soil and climatic conditions of California soon revealed the fact that most of our grasses, the seed of which is now procurable on the market, could not establish themselves and produce a strong sod on lands not susceptible of irrigation. Over large areas of the state. There are good soils receiving moisture only in the form of rain on which there is no green pasturage for stock soon after the rains cease. This condition may set in as early in the season as May 1, and may continue during some seasons into November or even December. Therefore a perennial grass that will withstand the winter temperatures as well as the long, dry season in the great central valleys would be of great value to the live-stock industry of California. Recent investigations and experiments lead me to believe that I have found such a grass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
