Fields. Too common in wheat fields. There is a wide-spread notion, 

 among farmers, that wheat changes or degenerates into this grass. It 

 is needless to say that it is wholly without foundation. Often as many 

 as thirty well-developed stalks grow from a single grain in rich soil, 

 each sta'lk maturing a hundred grains or more. It is perhaps the worst 

 intruder in our wheat fields, from the fact that its grain is about the 

 size of the wheat kernel, and not easily separated from it. This grass 

 seldom troubles the better class of farmers.
