Grasses a Puzzle for KU Prof
By ALICE COSTELLO
Kansan Staff Reporter
The Great Plaits region of the United States provides a as large puzzle by Ronald McGraw.
McGregor, who has been doing research since 1946 on the native grasses of the Great Plains, has determined there are about 300 different species of grasses in the Canadian border to southern Texas.
The purpose of his research, McGregor says is to determine how many grasses are present on the Great Plains, where they grow. The study highlights the importance to the ecology of the plains.
MGregor says he has focused his attention on range grasses and grazing grasses that might make pasture ranges more productive.
THE SAYS there are several grasses that grow well in Kansas. Short buffalo grass is common in Western Kansas and high blue grass is predominate in Eastern Kansas.
big bluestem grass from North Dakota will mature and go to seed a month before
McGregor says he faces the difficulty of determining not only how many species of grasses there are in the Great Plains, but also how many 'races' of grasses are present. For example, all grasses always grow the same way in different regions of the Great Plains, he says.

Kansas big bluestem grass, he says.
Therefore, the North Dakota grass would have been of very little value if it had been planted in Kansas.
McGregor has amassed information each year to gain a broader picture of the Great Plains grasses. But the progress of his research has been handicapped by seasonal changes.
INFORMATION CAN BE gathered only during the months of May through August. The winter months are used to evaluate and analyze the information and results of the previous summer's work are determined in late spring.
"It's a mosaic sort of thing," says McGregor.
Last spring the Great Plains Flora Association, a cooperative venture, was started among four Great Plains states to pool information about native grasses.
McGregor says he doesn't know when his research will be completed.
Information gathered by universities in North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas will be used to piece together the Great Plains rassr puzzle.
