"CojusuAn Nov. 24. 1841. Dear Sir-The meeting of the State Agricuural Society affordintg a favorable opportunity for its d istribution. I beg leave to place anoe disposalt for that nnrpose. about two bushels of Musquite grass seed. Thi, grats is a untive of Texas, and as far as I am capable of forting an opinion by anu experiment of a single year, is admira bly adapted eto our country. It has, I unerstand, been successfully 'cultivated by 31 r. Car:er. of Alabamn. for some years past, nnd the high. estimate he placed on it. induced him very kindly to send me a few quarts ,f seed in the mummer of 1840. These seed were planted in Septcmbef following, in drills, came up with great regularity, and rontifnued to vegetate do r-ng the whole ,vinier. A-rought of unu -ual duration in the spring, and another in Jualy, acconmplanied by iutene heat, produ ced uo visible eflect on it, and it has con tinued to flourish through all the vicissi tides of a iost disastruns season. The seed weie .own on a dry alluvial soiL which had been pr, pared for turnips; and fron a piece of gnound. not exceeding the fourth of an acre, I gathered fourteen bushels of scd. It will, I think, make fine hay growing ftomn two and a half to three feet high; amid in its native praire it forms the favorite pasture of the wil4 horse and bufl'alo.
