from Egypt, produced in 1918 a crop 

 valued at $16,000,000. Over 1,000 varie- 

 ties of soy beans have been introduced 

 from China and other parts of the 

 Orient. From these the experts of the 

 department have, after careful tests, 

 selected eight of the best varieties, 

 which are now largely cultivated and 

 are an important element in the rapid 

 increase in soy-bean production. Peru- 

 vian alfalfa, introduced in 1899, is by 

 far the most productive and valuable 

 variety for the southwest. 



"Scientists are convinced that there 

 are still great possibilities in the search 

 for new crops, especially for plants that 

 are cultivated little, if at all, in their 

 native countries. Perhaps this is most 

 strikingly exhibited in grasses, many of 

 which have been introduced accident- 

 ally. Thus blue grass, white clover, 

 redtop, tim»tky and many others which 

 came originally from Europe make up 

 nearly all the grass lands of the north, 

 and Bermuda grass from India, carpet 

 grass from the West Indies, dallis grass 

 from Argentina, and lespcdeza from 

 Asia have performed a similar role in 

 the south. California's pastures con- 

 sist mainly of species from the Medi- 

 terranean region, such as alfilaria, bur 

 clover, wild oats, wild barley and numer- 

 ous others. There are undoubtedly in 

 central Asia many specios which, if 

 properly selected and introduced, will 

 add greatly to the carrying capacity of 

 the western ranges, aside from what 

 can be accomplished by rational range 

 management. From this region came 

 alfalfa and sweet clover, both impor- 

 tant in the west. There is every reason 

 to believe also that good grasses and 

 legumes can be found for the cut-over 

 lands of the south, and thus prepare the 

 way for the further development of the 

 live stock industry in that section."
