BULLETIN 1175, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
milo were obtained from the Amarillo Cereal Field Station for trial. 
At the end of three years it was found advisable to discard two 
selections of Standard Yellow milo and one of the Dwarf milo. The 
remaining selections have been grown in the varietal experiments for 
the full 8-year period. As the varieties and races of milo respond 
to environing conditions in practically the same manner, the data for 
all milos are considered under one caption. The agronomic data for 
the different varieties of milo are given in Table 6. A plat of Dwarf 
White milo is shown in Plate II, Figure 1.
