To the farmer, for its immense growth of hay. To the dairy- man, for its excellent fodder. To the stockman, for its quick-growing forage. To the poultryman, for seed. It is a native of Central America. It is an annual plant, having broad foliage, very much resem- bling sorghum leaves and if allowed to develop fully will attain a height of from 10 to 12 feet and bears numerous heads from 18 to 20 inches in length and one inch in diameter, completely covered with thousands of seeds, much relished by poultry. It is of rapid growth, throwing out from one plant num- erous suckers, and if cut as soon as it reaches the height of three or four feet, it can be mowed from three to five times according to the latitude, and yields several tons of dry hay per acre. If allowed to grow seven or eight feet high, and cut when the flower heads begin to develop, it will yield the heaviest fodder crop per ace of any plant now in cultivation. For feeding it is equal to any fodder, and is relished by all kinds of stock, either green or dry. This plant has given great satisfaction the past dry season, as Pencillaria and Tepsinte, withstood the drought better than corn and remained green in ths hottest sun. This fodder plant will give satisfac- tion to everyone that plants it and can be highly recommended. Don't sow it on poor thin soil, and ex- pect wonders. For hay purposes sow in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, dropping seed every 6 or S inches or broadcast using one pound of seed per acre. For fodder purposes it should be sown in drills 3 to 3V2 feet apart, thinning out to stand 18 inches apart in the drills. Cultivate like corn, one cultivation is gen- erally sufficient. Do not plant till ground is warm. Per pkt. 10 cts., % lb. 25
