Weeping Love Grass Seed Gifted To Quail High Vocational Class
James Doneghy of Wellington, a local banker and landowner, donated ten pounds of African weeping grass seed valued at $50 to the vocational agriculture department at Quail High School. The seed, grown on Doneghy’s Cross Roads farm, will aid the school district’s sandy-land reseeding program directed by instructor Frank Kennedy. The project began in spring 1946 but poor weather reduced expected yields.
