niLLET. 
Millet was grown as an early crop for seed and as a late 
crop for hay. In both cases it did not make a satisfactory 
growth. Although an abundance of good seed was used on 
land in good condition and that raised large crops of other 
grains on neighboring plats, yet the stand of the millet was 
poor and the growth not vigorous. 
The millets grown were of two classes, those with the 
solid, round head, represented by the Hungarian and 
California and those with the loose head comprising the 
remainder of the varieties, 'these latter varieties are called 
“broom corn millets” from the resemblance of the head to 
broom corn and the four varieties grown are apparently the 
same millet, modified slightly by different conditions of soil 
and climate.

BEETS. 
Both stock and sugar beets were grown both with and 
without irrigation. What is called in the table “west field'’ 
is a piece of low land that is coming into alkali from a ditch 
on the upper side. It was raw sod broken in the spring of 
1893 and re-plowed six inches deep in the spring of 1894. It 
was so filled with alkali that scarcely anything would grow 
on it and yet, under these very bad conditions, we obtained a 
crop of about thirteen tons per acre of beets. 
The "east field” is a piece of land that used to be a cat-
