 This grass is covered with soft, whitish hairs, 

 so that to the touch it feels somewhat like velvet. 

 It is a European grass, but is to be found here 

 and there over the State, having been introduced 

 with the seed of other grasses. Owing to its 

 light color it is striking in appearance, and is 

 said to be a valuable grass for light thin soils 

 which are unsuited to the growth of more valua- 

 ble sorts. It should only be sown in mixtures.

 thin lands. It is probably an annual, and is of little or no agri- 

 cultural value.
