TIMOTHY 8I 
premacy of timothy has been threatened in recent years 
by brome-grass, and alfalfa is now invading the whole 
timothy region. -In Montana, northern Utah, and 
southern Idaho, timothy thrives well on irrigated land, 
though it is not usually grown where alfalfa succeeds. 
In the mountain valleys of all these States, and of 
Washington, Oregon, and northern California, it is 
again the leading hay grass on cultivated lands. 
The following notes from experiment station pub- 
lications and agricultural papers in the border States 
indicate the position of timothy in these States : 
South Dakota Bulletin 45.—A paying crop through- 
out the Big Stone Basin and the Sioux Valley; endures 
the cold and dry freezing of the Dakota winters, but 
suffers badly from the hot sun of July and August. 
Generally successful over the eastern part of the 
State. Does well also in some parts of the Black Hills 
region. 
Kansas Bulletin 102.—Succeeds well in eastern 
‘Kansas, but is uncertain in other parts of the State. 
Arkansas Bulletins 29 and 36.—Of little account, 
except on the best clay soils of northwest Arkansas and 
on the best bottom-lands of eastern Arkansas, but 
grown generally in northwestern part of State because 
of its reputation elsewhere. 
Alabama Canebrake Station Bulletin 9.—Grew 
well during fall and winter, but could not stand warm 
weather that came in May. Not a pound of hay could 
be cut from the plat. 
Southern Planter, January, 1903.—Makes but one 
crop in the South, and summer will kill it out. Better 
sow redtop and meadow-fescue.
