Rye: A plot of spring rye, planted in the spring of 1915, pro- 

 duced at the rate of 900 pounds of grain per acre. It is likely that 

 rye will become popular as a hay crop on dry-farms of the region. 



SORGHUMS 



Grain Sorghums: Three varieties of grain sorghums were 

 planted in 1910 on the Flake farm (see Table XXXII), the best 

 yield being produced by Broom Corn. Of the sorghums adapted 

 for feeding. Standard Milo was most successful. In 1911, Broom 

 corn again yielded highest, Black-hulled White Kafir second.
