Abstract/Contents:Discusses Bent seed and the potential affect of the 1921 interpretation of the Seed Importation Act of 1912, stating that it "prohibits the entry of any mixture of grass seed that does not test 65% pure live seed." Profiles Rhode Island Bent and Colonial bent, stating that "the vegetative propagation of bent grass is still in the experimental stage and while considerable success has already been attained in one or two districts the method cannot be used to a commercial advatage as [of 1921]." Concludes that "in some districts the Bent varieties are natural grasses in the soil and should by all means be encouraged."
