KAFIR CORN IN DRY REGIONS 



115 



Harvesting time for grain 



Kafir corn remains green until frost, and the 

 seed does not shatter; so, if grain is the only con- 

 sideration, there is no great hurry to harvest; it 

 can stand until after frost and the stalk is dry. 

 But, generally, the fodder is a consideration, as 

 well as the grain, and then the problem is to cut 

 when the best results from both may be obtained.
