Of failure then plant prose-, suggests
Professor N. E. Hansen of the South
Dakota State college at Brookings.
Prose- may be sown up to July 1, al
though any time during the first half
OF June is probably better. Prose is
q large seeded millet," says Professor
Hansen, "and it is an excellent food
for both man and beast-in fact, it is
q staple food for millions of human
beings from India northward to the
dry parts of Asia and through Mon
g0lia, China and extending westward
into Russia. 1t may be sown with
press drill and cut like any other
small grain"
