C. Grass Seed Fields Burning May Continue Next Month Post-harvest burning of grass seed fields in the Spokane was to begin today and probably continue through August, Herbert L. Jacobson, Foothills, president of the Intermountain Grass Growers, said. In all, he said, 40,000 acres, the largest portion of which is within 30 miles of Spokane, will be burned. The area includes Peone, Orchard and Five Mile Prairies north of Spokane; the Spokane Valley east to Coeur d'Alene; Rathdrum Prairie north, of Falls; Rockford and Fairfield areas to the south; the Pomeroy area in Garfield County, and the Nezperce Prairie between Clearwater River and Grangeville in Idaho.
Such burning originally was initiated as a control measure against diseases and insects, and for that reason, is exempted under air pollution regulations of the state and Spokane County, Jacobson explained. However, he said, growers also discovered that the process gave the plants a "physiological shock" that stimulated a higher yield the following year. Jacobson estimated gross income from this year's crop at $9 million. He said the Intermountain Grass Grower's grows 75 per cent of all bluegrass lawn seed that will be used in the U.S. next year.
If the annual burn were terminated, he said, yields would drop to former levels and put local growers out of business. He added the market then would go to other areas in the U.S., if any suitable ones were left, or more likely to foreign growers. The association president also said that growers are seeking a satisfactory substitute for burning and, in cooperation with Washington State University and the Spokane County Crop Improvement Association, have al. ready screened 115 chemical treatments in greenhouse testing. He said plant and hormones have been tried, giving mild responses but not enough for practical use.
Even groundup solutions of birth control pills have tested, he said. Jacobson said one Spokane Valley, grower, Arden Jacklin, whom he described as one of the best technically trained men in the entire industry, thinks the ultimate solution may be a combination of chemical application and rigorous mechanical cultivation. As long as the burning continues, and Jacobson indicated it may be only for a few more years, he assured the public that Brief City News Records AUTO tachometer theft reported to police Monday by Daniel W.

Neighbors with an array of fightting equipment are on hand fore a field is ignited.
Jacobson said that, in all the years of burning in this area, only once did flames get out of control when a sudden wind shift occurred. The fire spread to an adjoining range and was quickly extinguished, he added. Even meteorological precautions have been taken, Jacobson said. He added five local weather stations have been financed by the growers to establish the best time to burn, based on up-to-theminute data. Using reports from the five special weather stations, he said, the growers attempt to schedule the burning at a time when winds will quickly dis.
