SORGHUM VARIETIES FOR THE GREAT PLAINS. 15 
Texas which lies south and east of the Panhandle. It also deserves 
a more extended trial in New Mexico, Arizona, and southern Cali- 
fornia, and through central Oklahoma and western Kansas. Several 
enthusiastic reports concerning Dwarf hegari have been received from 
southwestern Nebraska. The Nebraska branch experiment station 
at Curtis rates it above feterita for their conditions. 
Dwarf feterita and Improved feterita should be substituted for 
ordinary feterita where the latter is now being grown. Feterita has 
shown an ability to produce crops under very low moisture condi- 
tions, and through a long series of years these two selected strains 
will very likely make a larger grain yield than either Dwarf milo 
or Dwarf kafir on the high plains of northwestern Texas, western 
Kansas, and eastern Colorado. The most grievous fault of feterita, 
that of poor germination, can perhaps be remedied by selective 
breeding. 
White milo has made an enviable record in the matter of seed pro- 
duction at all of the field stations concerned in these reports. When 
exhibited at State and county fairs in the sorghum region it has often 
taken first premium in competition with the ordinary milo. The 
quality of fodder produced is rather inferior, but from the stand- 
point of grain production alone it is worthy of a much more extended 
planting in northwestern Texas, western Oklahoma, western Kansas, 
eastern Colorado, and western Nebraska.
