ers II sown to prosno, the Siberian
grain brought to this country and
developed by Prof. N. e. Hansen
of the South Dakota Agricultural
college.
3 Prosno will grow on higher and
dryer lands than any other grain.
1t requires a shorter growing
season and can be used as q
"catch" crop when there's q spring
failure of other grains.
Its nutritive value is higher
than wheat flour, and 1t can be
made into bread, cakes, rolls, muf-
fins, pancakes, custard and
