   "These 
  are 
  cuttings 
  of 
  the 
  small-seeded 
  variety

  over 
  here 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  

   inclined 
  to 
  bush 
  and 
  spread, 
  while 
  those

   heavier

  short, 
  transversely

  greenish

  Millet. 
  

   "This 
  millet 
  is 
  the 
  finest 
  variety 
  I 
  have 
  ever 
  seen. 
  It 
  makes 
  fine 
  hay, 
  but 
  is 
  

  

  grown 
  here 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  value 
  as 
  a 
  foodstuff 
  for 
  the 
  people; 
  in 
  many 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  country 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  staple 
  food 
  the 
  year 
  around 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  boiled 
  and 
  eaten 
  instead 
  

   of 
  rice, 
  and 
  makes 
  an 
  excellent 
  breakfast 
  food. 
  There 
  is 
  big 
  money 
  for 
  the 
  man 
  

   who 
  will 
  introduce 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States, 
  properly 
  prepared 
  as 
  a 
  breakfast 
  

   food."

  about 
  150 
  pounds
