The numerous varieties of sorghum
are cultivated in the plains region
mainly for grain and forage, but in
some sections the raising of broom
corn Is an important industry.
Sorghum is of enormous import
ance because of its adaptation to re-
gins to dry for Indian corn. They are
adapted to sections having a warm
summer climate. In regions of long
cool m m sorghums are of but lit
tie Importance. The earliest known
variety will mature in three months
of warm summer weather.
Grain %Sorghums
Kafir, milo and feterita are the
most important grain sorghums and
are now recognized as leading dry
land crops for regions having alti-
tudes not greater than 5000 feet. Re-
suits with these crops at the Tucum-
carl field station indicate that dwarf
milo is the highest yielding grain
crop, but that the roughage Is very
poor. Kafir roughage is much better
and the grain yields are but slightly
lOWer tudH tuUSe VI miiO. MALT lS
much easier to harvest. Feterita is a
promising grain crop and seems to be
slightly more drouth resistant than
either milo or kafir. However, at the
Tucumcari station 1t has not proven
itself more valuable than kafir or
milo, in normal years.
a1a Sweet Sorghum
The sweet sorgidms are drouth re-
sistant and belong to the same gen.
eral family as the kafirs. The seed
of this crop is not grown for feed, as
it is unsuited for this purpose; but
the entire plant makes a highly desif-
able forage, either when fed as hay OF
silage. Sweet sorghums should be al
lowed to mature the seed before be-
ing harvested for ~forage-more es-
pecially silage-as in this way the
juice does not become 80 acid az it
does when the crop is harvested too
green. This crop usually makes a
heavier tonnage Of silage than do the
grain sorghums, and for this reason
is gaining in popularity. There are
two varieties of sweet sorghum In
this section that are grown more than
the others; the amber, an early ma
