periods being 89, 43, and 132 days, respectively. The shortest was 
118 days and the longest was 147 days. The stands have been 
slightly poorer than those of No. 314 on the average. The tillering 
has been more abundant, however, since in three years the propor- 
tion of suckers has exceeded one sucker to each main stalk. Th 
average acre yield in the 8-year period has been 16 bushels, or about 
3 bushels better than that of No.314. Its yield in 1915 was 66 bush- 
els, one of the best made by any kafir variety. 
TaBLE XXVII.—Agronomic data for new kafirs grown at the Amarillo Cereai Field 
Station during the 8-year period from 1909 to 1916, inclusive.
