On-the-muck special. On the 15th day of July we 
inspected a 4o-acre field of Alta Fescue grass that was 
planted in October. ‘This field of Alta Fescue was 
as green and live as could be and 4o head of cattle had 
been pastured on this field for some months and you 
could hardly see where they had made even a dent in 
same. ‘The field could easily have taken on more cattle 
and fed them. ‘This 40 acre Alta Fescue field is located 
on the Zellwood, Florida, muck and is owned by the 
Andrews Ransom Cattle Co. We believe this means that 
Alta Fescue and Kentucky 31 Fescue are going to be the 
grass for winter and tor permanent pasture on the muck 
lands of the state. 
Brome Grass 
BROME GRASS is a new grass that was also planted in 
a 4o-acre field on the Zellwood muck farms, and gave 
a large abundance of winter grass and stood freezing 
weather. ‘This grass is now being watched to ascertain if 
it will live through the summer and be permanent. We 
do know it is a wonderful grass for the winter. ‘This 
Brome grass seed is broadcast during September to 
January on prepared land basis i5 pounds seed per acre, 
and disced or packed in lightly.
