and clay ; drought resistant ; will grow on very poor soils ; tolerant of saline 
conditions ; will withstand considerable abuse in handling ; claimed to be a 
weed in fields, especially sandy ones, but ordinarily regarded by farmers as 
not dangerous because it is easily burned off ; has been used very successfully 
for erosion control on highway embankments along the Oregon coast ; has been 
advocated as a renovater of barren soils because of the high potash content of 
its ash ; considered by some authorities as in part parasitic on oak roots, but 
if so, is not an obligate parasite ; 65,000 seeds per poimd ; propagated by seeds
