CHAETOCHLOA ITALICA. 27556. From Choon Chun, Korea. Presented

I have ever seen. It makes fine hay, but is grown here be- 
cause of its value as a food stuff for people. In many parts 
of the country it is the staple food the year around. It is 
boiled and eaten instead of rice, and makes an excellent 
breakfast food. There is big money for the man who will 
introduce it in the United States properly prepared as a 
breakfast food." (Moose.)
