It is very much like maize in gen- eral appearance and in the structure of the fls., but â differs in not forming an ear, the slender jointed spikes being free from one another. Bj' many botanists it is considered the original form of maize. It is known to catalogues as JRedna luxurians, Dur., but is properly EucliUena 3{exicdna, Schrad., for the botany of which see 6414, where the plant is called A'uchhvnn lux- lirians. The plant is pictured in Bull. 14, Div. of Agrost., U. S. Dept. of Agric, and in Farmers' Bulletin No. 102, from which a few points are here abstracted. Teosinte probably produces a greater bulk of fodder per acre than any other grass. At the Louisiana Experi- ment Station it has yielded the enormous amount of 50 tons of green forage per acre; this crop was sold in the field to dairymen for $ a ton. The plant grows 8-12 ft. high and tillers freely, sending up 20-50 stalks from the same root. One himdred stalks from one seed have lieen recorded. It may be cut several times during the season, but nearly as good results will be obtained from a single cutting made before there is any frost. The stalks are tender and there is no waste in the fodder when dry or green. One pound of seed to the acre, planted in <lrills 3 ft. apart and thinned to a foot apart in the drill, is recommended.
