"Brome grass is going to revolutionize the sandy country of western Ne braska , and will make it a 100 per cent better country , " said Con gressman Moses P. Kinkaid of the big sixth district , author of the section homestead law , and who has just been out over the territory to investigate the progress of the grasses which the government has planted in the northern part of the cattle raising section of the state as an experiment. "Grass will make a new coun try of western Nebraska. A grass that mats the sand together and at the same time grows high enough for hay , will make it a different territory. Brome gross is doing this. Alfalfa is growing well , too , but it is not the success in the sand that the brome grass is.
