An improved variety developed from Feterita, which was introduced 
about 40 years ago from Egypt where it is used as human food. A 
dry climate, high yielding grain variety, immune to smut and resistant 
to insect damage. Produces a high average yield of grain on a com- 
paratively small supply of moisture; occasionally used as a late 
crop after oats. Stalks stout, seedheads erect, less compact than 
those of the milos, seed very large, soft, chalky, bluish-white, very 
sensitive to low soil temperature; high in protein and may be fed 
without grinding. 
TEXAS BLACKHULL KAFIR 
One of the white seed varieties, which command higher prices on 
the grain market. An early, uniform-maturing, drought and insect 
resisting selection from original standard Blackhull Kafir, developed 
by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and distributed in 
1924. Very popular for its wide adaptability and high yields of grain 
and forage. Used for bundle and dry ground feed. Stems leafy, some- 
what stout, resistant to lodging, slightly juicy but not sweet; seed- 
heads erect, long, compact; seed of medium size, white, not hard 
but somewhat brittle; of very high feed value.
