rye, flax, sugar beets, rape, ruta- 

 bagas, mangel wurzels, potatoes 

 and pease. We challenge the world 

 to grow better winter apples, and 

 any small fruits, than we grow in 

 the vicinity of Pullman. 



Grasses and Forage Plants. 



On low lands, and on all lands 

 except the dryest south hillsides, 

 timothy and clover grow abundant- 

 ly in the vicinity of Pullman, and 

 yield 2 to 3>4 tons of hay per 

 acre according to location and 

 treatment of the soil. On drier 

 lands, orchard grass is a fine hay 

 grass, and also an excellent pasture 

 grass. For permanent pasture, 

 Ijrome grass (Bronms inermis) is a 

 magnificent success all over tlv? 

 wheat section, and it yields large 

 crops of hay or seed the second 

 and third seasons. Kentucky blue 

 grass grows 3 feet high on moist 

 low lands, and white clover thrives 

 with it. Meadow fescue, Italian 

 rve grass, and tall meadow oat 

 grass, are all perfectly at home 

 here. In fact there is no trouble to 

 raise plenty of tame grasses. 



One of the first questions an 



Eastern farmer asks about this 



country is, "Can you grow corn?" 

 On the upland prairies v>{ Kastern 

 Washington, where the altitude is 

 over 2000 feet, it hardly pays to grow
