EGYPTIAN WHEAT CORN 43 
A. GREAT N O V EET Y 
FROM INDIA 
This is a non-saccharine Sorghum cultivated very ex¬ 
tensively in India and recently brought to this county and 
found to yield very valuable crops. As a grain it is much 
more valuable than Kaffir Corn as it yields a larger amount of 
seed. It is of stooling habit, producing from three to six stalks I 
from a single grain. The heads grow similar to Broom Corn, 
forming large heads of round, plump white seed. It is an excel¬ 
lent feed for horses and cattle, and for chicken feed it is simply 
unexcelled, and when ground makes excellent flour for pancakes; | 
besides it can be popped as pop corn, as it has a surprisingly good 
flavor; very tender and crisp. 
It is more of a grain crop than forage, forming double the seed 
of Kaffir Corn and more than any Cane or Sorghum plant 
we know of. 
In India this grain is grown under the name of "Shallu” and 
in this country is also known under the names of “California Rice 
Corn,” “California Wheat,” and “Egyptian Wheat”. 
We have grown this interesting corn and can highly recommend 
it and hope all our customers will try it this year.

A forage plant of great merit that can be produced in from six to eight 
weeks from seed, yielding from 25 to 30 tons of green feed to the acre The 
plants grow from two to four feet high, having broad, rich juicy leaves, re¬ 
sembling rutabaga tops. 
When corn is grown to be cut for feed, it is well to sow rape at the last 
plowing, as it will leave excellent pasture after the corn is taken off and is 
very effective in keeping down the weeds. Rape itself cannot become a weed 
or nuisance as it does not live through the winter. The seed should be used 
at the rate of 3 pounds to the acre in drills, or from 5 to 10 pounds per acre 
sown broadcast. Pkt., 5c.; 3 pkts., 10c.; lb., 35c.. 3 lbs., COc., postpaid.
