Blackhull kafir and White durra. 
of 1912.

It was discarded after the season 
No. 198 was a field hybrid, supposedly between Blackhull 
kafir and White durra, which occurred at the Channing Field Station 
in 1906. 
Among the various forms appearing in the second genera- 
tion were many that seemed very promising. They appeared to 
combine the desirable earliness and low stature of the durra with 
head: and seed characters more like those of kafir. 
these were made, and a number of them have been continued until 
the present, time.
