This being true, it seems desirable to reduce. Fig. 3.—Close-spaced milo plants, showing almost total freedom from tillers and the resulting high uniformity.

EFFECT OF SPACING ON MATURITY. One of the most important requirements for the successful pro- duction of grain sorghum in the San Antonio region is earh' and uniform maturity. This is necessary, in order that the crop may escape the ravages of the sorghum Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
