   liang. 
  This 
  plant 
  is 
  the 
  chief 
  and 
  characteristic 
  crop 
  of 
  Manchuria. 
  

   Its 
  seeds 
  are 
  the 
  every 
  day 
  food 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  common 
  people, 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  the 
  chief 
  food 
  of 
  the 
  farm 
  animals. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  stripped 
  off 
  the 
  

   plant 
  for 
  live-stock 
  food, 
  and 
  the 
  stalks 
  are 
  burned

  the 
  water

  mud 
  houses

  comes 
  

   from

  is 
  of 
  a 
  tall-growing 
  

   variety 
  with 
  open 
  or 
  spreading 
  panicle. 
  This 
  tall 
  kowliang 
  thrives 
  

   best 
  in 
  latitude 
  38° 
  to 
  42° 
  north, 
  maturing 
  usually 
  in 
  October 
  and 
  

   requiring 
  a 
  late 
  autumn 
  to 
  ripen 
  properly. 
  It 
  will 
  withstand 
  drought, 
  

   hot, 
  drying 
  winds, 
  and 
  an 
  excess 
  of 
  moisture 
  better 
  than 
  maize. 
  The 
  

   stalks 
  are 
  fibrous 
  and 
  rigid

  not 
  lodge
