The rainfall for Lubbock from January 1 to October 1, 1912, was 

 11.40 inches, and for the entire year 14.00 inches. Lubbock is situ- 

 ated south of Amarillo on the plains, and the climatic conditions are 

 similar. 



-\t Chillicothe. Tex., in 1912, a plat of feterita gave a yield of 4,800 

 pounds of dry fodder per acre, while a plat of Dwarf milo planted 

 at the same time made 3,210 pounds per acre. The grain yield on 

 these plats was 30.4 bushels for feterita and 28.4 bushels per acre 

 for the Dwarf milo. These station yields in most cases are not widely 

 different for the two crops, feterita and Dwarf milo. and more data 

 are necessary before definite conclusions are reached regarding their 

 compai'ative value.
