PROSO (Panicum miliaceum) AND SORGHUM (Andropogon sorghum). 



These two grains, the proso or broom corn millet and the non- 

 saccharine sorghums, may be considered together, as were the emmer 

 and einkorn. They, however, differ more from each other than do 

 the latter grains because of the considerable amount of crude fiber in 

 the proso and the small amount in the sorghum. This gives to the 

 sorghum a higher carbohydrate content and a higher production 

 value. In protein content and in nutritive ratio, however, they are 

 very similar, and in these and also in production value they both 

 have the general characteristics of maize and belong to the same class.
