Stink-grass is very similar to slender meadow grass except that the plants of stink-grass are about twice as large as those of slender meadow grass. In most botan- ical works this grass is called Eragrostis major. IDENTIFICATION OF SMALL-GRAIN SEEDLINGS. The seedlings of small grains are, under all conditions, very difficult to identify. Men who are constantly growing these grains usually learn to distinguish the different species. Even certain varieties in a species are sometimes recognizable. But there is great variation even in the different varieties, and the varietal differ- ences in each species make it difficult to find a combination of characters that will always hold true for the species. All of the small grains so far as studied have their leaves rolled in the bud. The most dependable characters are found in the collar, .
