MILO HYBRIDS. 
The four selections considered under this head are derived from 
field hybrids of milo. Nos. 199 and 200 are selections made at the 
field station at Channing, Tex.,in 1906. The first is from a supposed 
hybrid between Blackhull kafir and milo, while the parentage of 
the second is supposed to be Sumac sorgo and milo. Nos. 238 and 
239 were chance hybrids of uncertain parentage found at the Amarillo 
Cereal Field Station in 1907. Selections were made only of forms 
having heads and kernels like those of milo in shape, but with the 
heads strictly erect. Since most field hybrids are tall, only the lowest 
were selected. |
