In from fifteen to twenty years of
experience in the prod lction of kafr
corn. and we raise the black.hulled
kafr corn almost exclusively, al
though some prefer and plant the
red. we have established three indis-
putable facts, the common experience
OF all our farmers, and l will give
them to you briefly.
First-We have demonstrated con
clusively that kair corr is a never
falling upland crop. In all our 20
years experience with the corn OF the
Black man, we have never had a sin
gle failure. Some years of course the
crop is larger than others; some
farmers raise more than others on the
same kind of soil under parallel con
ditions. as is the case with any other
crop; but everybody who plants black
hulled kafr corn and cultivates and
cares for the same with any degree
of intelligence whatever, raises a crop.
Soil Exhaustion a Myth.
Second-hahr corn is positively no
more %exhuastink to the fertility OF the
soil that any other crop, II as much
SO. ] personally know of upland farms
that failed for 20 years TO produce in.
dian corn, that have grown kafr con
tinuously and successfully and in each
instance for the last Is years, with
apparently no decrease in the yield.
To be u r | would not advise any
farmer to put the same field in kafr
or amy other crop, without change, for
Is years or even a much less num-
Der OF years, because a depletion of
the soil Is inevitable, but 1t has been
done in our county with incredible re.
suits. 1t is true that kafr has a great
affinity for moisture and this has made
Il hard on the land. But this
is the armor It wears against the sun
and in which II fights the heat and
the wind. II there is the slightest
trace Of moisture in the soil the kafr
will get II and that is why it is able
to withstand long periods OF drouth.
II naturally leaves the soil very dry,

Stock Fatten on kafr.

Third-We have proved to our en-
tire satisfaction to the point Of almost
universal acquiescense and approval,
that kair corn is almost the equal
OF Indian corn for the purposes OF
feeding or fattening live stock, and
that 1t can be successfully and salts
f~actcr.ly used for any purpose for
which Indian corn is used, even to the
making OF "lap-jacks," that horses can
be fed for field work or for the track
and cattle and hogs fattened and pre-.
pared for the market the same as with
Indian corn. The only difference is
that the kafr must be ground and
about 10 per cent more in quantity
ed at a feeding. Many lunches Of
cattle have been full fed this winter
in Butler county on kafr corn and

kafr corn, in equal parts, mixed with
