The population variation of Stipa neomexicana and Stipa comata at this site suggests that the distinguishing features of these species, and perhaps all Hesperostipa species, could represent population variation in open arid vegetation of southwestern USA. Stipa neomexicana is distinguished by lemma awns pilose on all segments, the terminal segment with hairs 1–3 mm long. Stipa comata by lemmas usually evenly white-pubescent, sometimes glabrous immediately above the callus and lower ligules often lacerate. The size of the lemmas is often at 15 mm long or longer and the awns often over 90 cm long. This sort of variation at this site also calls into question the distinction of Stipa curtiseta and Stipa spartea relative to both Stipa comata and Stipa neomexicana.
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Scobey series near Glasgow MT; the State Soil of Montana.
In 1928, the Scobey series was established in the Milk River Area, located in the northern plains of Montana. The series was named for the northeastern Montana town of Scobey and used to represent dark grayish-brown farming soils. The Scobey soil was designated
the official Montana state soil in 2015.
The Scobey series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in till. These soils are on till plains, hills, and moraines. Slopes are 0 to 15 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 12 inches, and the mean annual air temperature is about 43 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, smectitic, frigid Aridic Argiustolls
Soil temperature - 42 to 47 degrees F.
Moisture control section - between 4 and 12 inches; dry in all parts between four-tenths and five-tenths of the cumulative days per year when the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F or higher.
Mollic epipedon thickness - 7 to 16 inches.
Depth to Bk horizon - 10 to 18 inches.
Depth to Bky or By horizon - 30 to 55 inches.
Btk, By, or BC horizons are allowed.
Phases- stony, shaley substratum.
USE AND VEGETATION: Scobey soils are used mainly for dryland crops. Some areas are used as rangeland. Potential native vegetation is mainly bluebunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, green needlegrass, and needleandthread.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Scobey soils are extensive in the till plains of northern Montana.

I’ve threaded up my new sewing machine for the first time this evening. I got it for christmas and I’m only now getting around to actually using it. I am trying my hand at making a sort of window blind/panel to create a little more privacy for our front windows. Its just hemming a panel once I have it measured up and including a tab to thread through some curtain cable to hang it from so a nice, hopefully easy, first sewing project on the machine.

A small slant-faced grasshopper that has a wide distribution in western North America. It inhabits grasslands including the mixedgrass, shortgrass, desert, and bunchgrass prairies.
A study in eastern Colorado has shown a high and significant correlation between the frequency of grass species in the diet of this grasshopper and the frequency of grass species in its habitat. The study indicates that this grasshopper is not highly selective, as it feeds on a variety of grasses. Common host plants of the spottedwinged grasshopper include blue grama, needleandthread, western wheatgrass, sand dropseed, downy brome, threadleaf sedge, and needleleaf sedge.
