MILO

Milo should have the same place as a
feed grain in dry land farming in east
ern Colorado that corn has in Iowa and
Illinois. Every eastern Colorado dry
land farmer should plant from twenty
to forty acres and should give it the
thorough cultivation that is given corn
to secure large yield. This will not
Interfere with the work of wheat rails
Ing, and In most years, will insure an
abundance of grain for work horses;
beef and dairy cattle, hogs and poultry.
There are few Seasons so dry that
when well cultivated, milo will not
yield fair crop of grain. 1t will yield
IS bushels an acre of grain under con-
Hitions so dry that corn will be u total
failure, and in favorable seasons pro-
huces more grain than corn with great
er feed value.
j. E. Payne, superintendent of the
y. S. Dry Land Experiment Station,
Akron, Colorado, has lived IA years in
eastern Colorado, making investiga-'
lions in every county. For five years
he conducted the Dry Land Experiment
Station at Cheyenne Wells, Colorado,
and for three years has had charge of
the Dry Land Station at Akron. He
says that in series of years-some
wet, some dry-milo will average twice
rs much grain an acre as corn in east
ern Colorado.
One hundred pounds of milo has
feeding value for work horses, beef and
dairy cattle, hogs and poultry, equal to
ninety pounds of corn. Its a larger
yield in eastern Colorado particularly
in dry seasons, furnishes much great
er feed value an acre than corn.
Different varieties vary in height
from two to Is feet The variety that
grows from four to six feet in height
usually gives the largest yield of rrain
in eastern Colorado.
Work horses and mules fed milo
have stood hard work well, Such as
breaking prairie, all summer. Milo
should be fed in the head, giving one
half more heads than would be given
ears of corn. Horses fed threshed
milo chew it but little, and most OF the
grain is not digested.
Beef Cattle Milo in the head
Should be fed to fattening cattle until
they are nearly finished and then the
grain should be ground. When the
farmers generally raise large acreage
of milo, eastern Colorado will become
an important beef fatteninp Section a..
barry Cows Milo takes the place
2f corn and should be fed either un-
threshed or ground
Hogs Milo may be fed in the head,
lhreshed and Soaked, or ground and
vet to thick slop. Fattening hogs
should be given some succulent feed
with milo, such as early cut sorghum,
stock melons, stock beets, or green
cured alfalfa hay,
Poultry Many poultrymen prefer
milo to corn. 1t may be fed in the
head, giving the fowls exercise in pick
ing off the grains, or the threshed
grain may be scattered in a litter,
where the birds will have to scratch
for it.
Full information in regard to the Sc
lection of seed, preparation of ground,
planting, cultivation and harvesting
may be obtained free UPON application
