Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa). 
“Grows in bunches in moist meadows and affords considerable hay, but unless it 
is cut early it is quite woody and lacking in nutrition" (Brannon) 
Turkey-foot. (See Andropogon hallii and A. provincialis.) 
Vicia americana. (See American Vetch.) 
Vicia americana linearis. (See Narrow-leafed American Vetch.) 
Vicia villosa. (See Sand Vetch.) 
Vigna catjang. (See Cow Pea.) 
Western Beard-grass (Aristida fascicularis). 
More or less abundant in dry,sandy soils on prairies, waste places, and on gravelly 
knolls. While young it is eaten by stock, but the stems soon become so tough 
and wiry as to be unpalatable even in hay, and the grass is very difficult to cut 
with a mower. It has little value agriculturally. 
Western Quack-grass (Agropyron pseudorepens). 
Similar in distribution to Western Wheat-grass and, like that species, a valuable 
forage grass. (See also Agropyron.) 
Western Wheat-grass ( Agropyron spicatum). (See Agropyron.) 
White Clover ( Trifolium repens). à 
This is the most commonly grown clover in the Northwest. Though of no value for 
hay,itis an excellent pasture plant and thrives on a variety of soils. Its ability 
to withstand close grazing and excessive trampling makes it a good plant for 
sheep pastures, It is extensively grown on lawns and in dooryards. 
White Sweet Clover ( Melilotus alba). 
Not 5 cultivation and occasionally as an escape. It is rather unpalat- 
able as a forage, and stock will seldom eat it unless mixed with other fodder. It 
owner had endeavored to clear the place of the plant, but had not been success- 
ful. It makes such an immense growth that it might be of considerable value 
for silage” (Brannon). 
Wild Barley (Hordeum nodosum). 
This grass seems to be rather rare in this region. It grows in moist, saline soils, but 
seldom oceurs in sufficient quantity to be of much im ARRE as a forage plant. 
Stock eat it readily, particularly before it “heads ou 
Wild Crab-grass (Schedonnardus paniculatus). 
An 55 grass occurring in dry, sandy soils on prairies and in waste places 
most abundant in central and western South Dakota, and is of practically 
no ee r, agriculturally. 
Wild- oats (Avena fatua). 
This grass has been introduced into grain fields and along railroads. Tho 
n fairly good forage if cut while young, it is not so valuable for this abe 
mmon oats, and when once started in a field it is very difficult to get 
Aids of. It is therefore to to be regarded as a weed, and should be destroyed at once.
