foragecrop. Redtop and timothy are both abundant along ditch banks 
and on wet ground, and a few wild meadows are almost wholly redtop. 
One field of red clover was seen, but the. crop was poor, and alfalfa 
will be sown in its place. On the mountains good pasture is found all 
summer, while the bench lands too high for irrigation become so dry as 
to be almost barren, except for occasional plants of Stipa comata and 
Agropyrum glaucum. Erodium cicutarium is found occasionally, and is 
‘said to be becoming more abundant. Agrostis vulgaris var. (Redtop) 
is abundant on moist soils, and Hordeum jubatum (?) is a troublesome 
weed in exhausted land. 
The upper part of the mountain has an abundant supply of grass, 
and stock find good pasture here all summer. The same is said to be 
true of all the mountains in this vicinity.
