Text Appearing Before Image:
icalheads of well-bred milo from early-maturing fields whichyielded well under the seasonal adversities of 1913. Inthat year I failed to find an early-planted, well-cultivatedfield of improved and selected milo which did not pro-duce grain. The dissected head on page 254 measuredeight inches in length and weighed six ounces. The seedwas fully matured and every glume on the head filled.In handling, this and its companion heads held their seedremarkably well. The heads of feterita or Sudan durra shown on page260 are of the desirable type and are typical of the heav-iest heads in the highest-yielding fields I have seen.These heads were grown in 1913 in Cheyenne County,Kansas, and the yield was thirty bushels per acre.

The seed of Sudan durra or feterita islarger than that of white durra, is white with a slightlybluish tinge, and has dark brown hulls. The heads ofwhite durra have a tendency to droop, while feterita hasnaturally erect heads. Thousands of bushels of the seedof white durra was sold as feterita in 1913. Remember-ing these differences and observing the type of feteritahead here shown, the grower cannot be mistaken in dis-tinguishing white durra from feterita if he can see theseed in the head.
