A correspondent OF the Guthrie Capital
i'll speaking of kaffir corn says: 81 raised
800 bushels last year on new breaking and
had it thrashed with machine. ! had IA
few bushels ground the same AS corn and
| found it WAS fully equal, if not superior
to corn meal for any purpose for which
corn meal is used. 1t make good breaG,
mush, hominy, etc. 1t is nearly as good
as rice when prepared in the same man
ner. 1t is ALEC good pop cora. IL is
splendid feed for horses, cattle, pigs,
chickens, etc. | have fed my horses with
it since last fall with good results. Its
merits besides those above enumerated
are: 1t is sure crop; it will stand any
drouth; it Will make Il crop on land too
poor for other corn; it is always of good
quality. If extensively planted there can
he no such thing as IA total failure
of crops in Oklahoma. For planting, the
white kaffir with short stocks is prefer
able. IL should be planted in rows as far
apart as corn, the hills is or 20 inches
apart Three kernals TO Il hill are enough.
If planted too thick hills will be small
Win do well on sod. III on old ground
cultivate the same as corn. | have sold
