GRAIN-SORGHUM EXPERIMENTS IN THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS. 
THE WHITE KAOLIANG SUBGROUP. 
75 
Only two varieties of white-glumed, white-kerneled kaoliang have 
been under experiment. Both were grown during the first six years, 
though the yield made by Mukden (C. I. No. 190) in 1908 is missing. 
Only the one variety was grown in each of the last three years. 
The chief disadvantage of the varieties has been their height, which 
ranged from 6 to 8 feet and made them subject to lodging in wet or 
windy weather. 
Nor have they been good yielders. 
The com- 
plete data obtained are presented in Table XXXI. Annual and 
average yields of the White and Blackhull subgroups are com- 
pared in Table XX XIII, while the yields of all three subgroups are 
compared in Table XXXVI.
