MILO HYBRIDS. 



The four selections considered, under this head are derived from 

 field hybrids of milo. Nos. 199 and 200 are selections made at the 

 field station at Channing, Tex., in 1906. The first is from a supposed 

 hybrid between Blackhull kafir and milo, while the parentage of 

 the second is supposed to be Sumac sorgo and milo. Nos. 238 and 

 239 were chance hybrids of uncertain parentage found at the AmariUo 

 Cereal Field Station in 1907. Selections were made only of forms 

 having heads and kernels hke those of milo in shape, but with the 

 heads strictly erect. Since most field hybrids are tall, only the lowest 

 were selected.
