323. Varieties. The varieties of broomcorn millet are 

 usually known by the shape of the head, the color of the seed, 

 or the locality from which they originally come. Among 

 the best and most popular varieties are the Black Voronezh 

 and Red Orenburg. 



LABORATORY AND FIELD EXERCLSES 



It is desirable that laboratory specimens of the plants discussed 

 in this chapter or the threshed grain or both plants and grain be avail- 

 able for class use, so that they may be studied and the members of the 

 class enabled to familiarize themselves with these little known or local 

 crops. If any of these crops are important in the locality, careful 

 studies of them should be made and exercises in judging given as sug- 

 gested for the other grains.
