Yellow Milo Maize 
Milo Maize is a heavy yielder and a wonderful drought resister. It is without 
question one of the surest grain crops for Western Kansas, Western Nebraska, 
Eastern Colorado, parts of Oklahoma and Texas where, rainfall is limited. In the 
western third of Kansas when the rainfall is less than 20 inches, Milo has been 
found to be more reliable than Kaffir. A farmer in northwestern Kansas in 
1913 planted 200 acres of Milo which yielded 25 bushels to the acre and 320 
acres of corn which yielded less than 5 bushels to the acre. He wrote that this 
proved to him that Milo was a better crop than corn for western Kansas. 
Milo is planted, cultivated, and handled, like Kaffir, but having a softer grain 
should be planted a little later. 
When grown in rows the crop of Milo, and also Kaffir, is ordinarily harvested 
with a corn binder and put in large shocks to cure. It can later be threshed 
for grain or fed as fodder. 
When the fodder is not desired the heads may be removed by hand with a. 
knife or by a special header attached to the wagon box. When the crop is 
harvested in this way the heads should not be thrown in piles unless they are 
thoroughly dry as they heat quickly if at all damp or green. Pkt., 5c; lb., 10c.

Feterita 
The two best features about Feterita are its wonderful ability to resist 
drought and its earliness.. It has proved without any question its ability to 
stand dry weather, as it has made good yields during very dry seasons, and in 
some cases without any rain whatever. Some growers report that Feterita is 
fully thirty-five to fifty days earlier than Kaffir, and this also is a big advantage. 
Feterita branches out from the stem and one plant makes several heads. 
Chinch bugs do attack it, but seem to prefer other crops; 
Even when the stalks are eaten off they stool out again 
and still make a crop. 
The grain of Feterita is similar to that of Milo, but 
is pure white and larger and softer. Feterita is planted 
in rows like Kaffir or Milo, using from three to five

pounds of seed per acre, and the crop is cultivated like Milo or Kaffir, 
not be planted too early or too deep. . . ' . 
Reports show that it is a very good crop for dry regions and is an excellent catch 
crop in other places. It makes good ensilage and can be hogged down with very 
satisfactory results. Plant some Feterita and you will get a crop of gram m spite 
of dry weather. ' . , _ . ,

Sunrise Kaffir 
A NEW KAFFIR WITH A SWEET STALK 
This is a new Kaffir, which has been developed at Woodward Oklahoma, It has rather small 
heads and small kernels, but the yield of grain is very high. It threshes, out more gram than 
will be expected from the appearance of the field. 
A very important characteristic of Sunrise Kaffir is that stalks and leaves are very sweet, 
being similar to sweet sorghums. The stalks are slender and produce more leaves than other 
kaffirs. Therefore, the fodder is not only_ of excellent quality, but also produced m large quan- 
tities, and with very little waste in feeding. - - 
It matures early and makes fine silage. It grows rather tall and is well adapted to handle 
with row binder, and head with knife or axe in bundle. The butts may then be stacked and fed. 
The fodder being sweet, it may sour in the stack, the same as cane does unless properly handled. 
Plant Sunrise Kaffir and get "the double benefit of a heavy yield of White Kaffir gram and an 
abundance of fodder almost as sweet as sorghum.

Jerusalem Corn 
(White Dorra) 
It is pronounced the best and surest grain crop for dry countries and seasons, even better than 
Kaffir Corn, Dourrha and Milo Maize. It grows about five feet high, makes one large head on 
main stalk and several smaller heads on side shoots. Have seen as high as eight heads on one 
plant. The grams are pure 
white, and nearly fiat. Three

Shallu 
Shallu or Egyptian Wheat. 
This non-saccharine sorghum came originally from 
India, where it is extensively cultivated under the name 
of Shallu. It is frequently called California Rice Corn, 
California Wheat and Egyptian Wheat. 
It came to us from California some 10 or 12 years ago. 
It is an excellent variety, but is not well known. 
It grows quite tall and stools out from the roots, a 
single grain producing from three to six stalks. The 
heads are similar to broom corn haads and are well fille«l 
with large, plump, rrund white seeds. It makes a lot of 
fodder and is quite drought -resistant. 
It makes excellent fe°d for horses and cattle, and for 
chicken feed there is nothing better. 
It should be sown in rows three feet apart, sowing 3 to 
5 pounds per acre. 
If sown for fodder only.it can be sown broadcast at the 
rate of about 20 to 50 lbs. per acre. Every farmer should 
try some Shallu, and esneeiaUy if he raises chickens.. Lb.,
