56 HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



result of our comparisons, it is concluded is precisely the 

 same variety under new names. The names which have been 

 brought to our attention are Mancl's Wonder Forage Crop 

 and Brazilian Millet. Seed offered under these names was 

 procured in preparation for this season's work from the so- 

 called originators or introducers. We also secured seed 

 from some of our prominent seedsmen who in turn had se- 

 cured it from would-be introducers. The most careful com- 

 parisons throughout the entire season failed to disclose any 

 difference. Mand's Wonder and Brazilian millet, so called, 

 appear to be identical in every way with Pearl millet. 

 The latter seed can usually be obtained of seedsmen at about 

 10 cents per pound, while under the new names the prices 

 charged are much in excess of this figure. Such trials of 

 Pearl millet as have been made here have led to the conclu- 

 sion that it is not a crop which is likely to prove of any con- 

 siderable value, unless it may be upon very light, dry and 

 warm soils. The crop has been described and commented 

 on at length in previous reports.
