By thls it is seen that the yield of Kafir-corn was very much larger than that of corn in five out of the six years, and the same as to the Kafir-corn forage every year. Infact, the Kafir-corn yielded about 41 per cent, more grain and nearly 95 per cent, more fodder than the corn. The poor ieihsalem corn. showing for both varieties in 1890 was due to a destructive frost on September 13ih. In 1894 the failure of grainin both varieties was due to there being no appreciable rain from the middle of July to September 1st, and the fact that the crops side by side on alternate plats were in a poor upland-prairie soil underlaid wiih hard pan. Yet, under these adverse circumstances,the Kafir-corn yielded double the quantity of fudder that was obtained from the corn. Compared by analysis, the following table, prepared by G. H. Failyer, Professor of Chemistry at the State Ex-periment Station, will throw additional light upon the subject: OUAIN OB FOPDER. Sh
