Dickinson's hand book on farm seeds . dickinsonshandbo00dick Year: 1916 Siberian Millet (Chaetochloa italica) Siberian Millet is regarded as one of the best varieties for general cultivation in the Western States. Like many other val- uable plants this variety of Millet was in- troduced into this country by the United States Department of Agriculture from Rus- sia. It belongs to the foxtail group under which Common, Hungarian, and German Millets are classified. It matures about the same time as Common and Hungarian Mil- lets and has been successfully grown in sections where the season is too short to mature a corn crop. The habit of growth, beard, and chaff are much similar to Hungarian Millet. The heads are drooping, somewhat larger than either those of Common or Hungarian Mil- lets, tapering at both ends, with rather con- spicuous, closely flowered subdivisions. Seeds are of about the same size and shape as those of Common and Hungarian Millets, but white to orange in color. Probably no variety of Millet produces a heavier yield of either seed or forage, or a better quality of hay. Its abundant growth of stalk and drought resistant qualities has brought it into high favor among stockmen in the Northwestern States.
