three feet apart, even on the best land, and it bears thicker planting than any other 

 variety of Sorghum; should be massed in the drill on good land, for either green or forage 

 purposes. 



BROOM CORN. 



Can be planted the same as corn; put the hills closer together in the row. Six quarts 

 will plant an acre. 



TBOSINTE. 



Reana or Euchloena luxurians. 



One of the most luxuriant growing forage plants introduced, of South American 

 origin, and one which in point of growth and amount of nourishing foliage excels any 

 other forage plant known. 



In good soil and with proper cultivation, it will throw up from 15 to 30 stalks on one 

 plant to a height of from 10 to 12 feet, densely covered with foliage. 



In order to be successful with Teosinte, it should be sown in drills aj early as the be- 

 ginning of March as it takes generally from 14 to 20 days before the seed germinates. In 

 this manner a good stand may be had at the beginning of April. 



For green fodder. Teosinte may be cut three or four times during the season, but then 

 it should not be allowed to grow any taller than three or four feet. 



In cutting, it is advisable to cut it clean to the ground as this will insure a heavier 

 growth than when cut 100 high. Teosinte in its own native country is a perennial, but 

 with us it is invariably killed during winter and may, therefore, be considered an annual. 



The seed, we have on hand, is imported, as in our climate it will produce none.
