Groups of Sorghums.—There are three distinct groups of cultivated sorghums: 1, those varieties grown for syrup, owing to the high sugar content of their juices; 2, those grown for their tops, or flower stalks, which are used in making brooms; 3, those grown for forage and grain, such as the Kafirs and durras.

Kafir, and Durra. —There are three com- monly known varieties of Kafir, distinguished more especially by the color of their seed and hulls. These varieties are red, white, and black-hull. The red and black-hull varie- ties generally yield a lit- tle more grain than white Kafir, and are considered more desirable. They also grow taller than white Kafir, thus producing a little more forage. The chief varieties of durra are: yellow milo, brown durra, and ichite durra, or Jerusalem corn. Milo is grown more extensively than either of the other varieties,. Fig. 106. of milo maize and Kafir corn from near Dalworth, Texas. Courtesy of " Farm and ;.
