After cutting it grows again with remarkable rapidity. Those having onlj' a small amount of land on which it is desired to produce the maxi- mum amount of forage should sow Teosinte. Plant in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. (See cut.) 90c. lb.; 10 lbs. and upwards, 80c. lb. WHITE KAFFIR CORN. Grows four to five feet high, with numerous wide leaves. (See cut.) 10c. lb.; 100 lbs., $ RED KAFFIR CORN. This very leafy and juicj' variety is taller but more slender than the white, ripens a little earlier and yields heavier. It is also valuable for sowing on poor land, as it will give better results under these conditions than the White Kaffir Corn, as well as other Sorghums, most of which require a well-enriched soil. (See cut.) 10c. lb.; 100 lbs., $ KAFFIR CORN. A type of non-saccharine Sorghum of greatest value for both fodder and grain. Kaffir Corn is a valuable forage plant, growing AYz to 6 feet liigh; it is stocky, erect, and produces wide, luxuriant, succulent foliage, making excellent fodder, either green or dried, and is highly relished by all kinds of stock. Each stalk pro- duces from 2 to 4 heads of grain. These heads are long and narrow. Kaffir Corn has the quality common to all Sorghums, of resisting droughts, and in this fact is to be found its peculiar val- ue, especially in southern sections ; it has yielded pay- ing crops of grain and forage even in seasons so dry that corn utterly failed. The culture is the same as for Field KAFFIR CORN.
