BROME-GRASS 175 
‘* Arctic grass.’’ ‘This name was given by a seedsman, 
with a view to inducing farmers to grow it more gener- 
ally. A few Southern seedsmen sell cheat-seed for 
rescue, some using the latter name and some the name 
‘« Arctic grass.’’ There is considerable advantage to the 
seedsman from this practice, for he can get cheat-seed 
very cheap at the large grain elevators of the Central 
West. Men who practice this deception console them- 
selves with the idea that, after all, cheat is about as 
good a grass as rescue. They are wrong inthis. In 
addition to making hay inferior to rescue hay, it makes 
less abundant winter pasture, and in some places is a 
bad weed in grain-fields.
