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.
