Tlie stand of all the millets and of sweet corn and 

 Kafir corn was very poor. Tlie Japanese and Tic^'nian 

 millet ripemnl earlier than was desirable. Kafir corn 

 (a non-saccharine sorghum) and Amber sorghum were 

 the only kinds which added to the yield of hay produced 

 by cowpeas alone. Eyen tthis increase may haye been 

 chi(^fly water, for our notes show that the hay from 

 the soriihum mixture was more moist than the other 

 kinds and doubtless in unfayorable weather it would 

 Tiaye been more difficult to cure. 



We hope to continue ithe search for a grass-like plant 

 pre-eminently suitable for sowing with cowpeas. Such 

 a plant should haye a fine stem like Gennan millet and 

 a longer period of growth. 



Until this ideal plant is found we would recommend 

 German millet as an aid in curing the early varieties of 

 peas and pos"sibly as suitable for drilling in or working 

 in with a weeder several weeks after the later varieties 

 have been sown. Amber sorghum is recommended as a 

 means of increasing the yield on good land, ])ut not as 

 a means of making curing easier.
