Show MAKE EXCELLENT DRY CROP Mllo Should Ee Grown Instead of Corn Where Rainfall Is Below Twenty-Five Inches. Mllo is the surest yielding grain crop that is grown In eastern Colorado, Colo-rado, western Kansas and Oklahoma, the Panhandle of Texas and eastern New Mexico. The United States department of agriculture reports the average yield for five years at Amarillo and other dry land experiment stations at forty bushels of grain per acre a year. Farmers In the same section report yields of thirty to eighty bushels per acre. A bushel of mllo will produce from ,ten to eleven pounds of pork. This makes the annual pork production for the dry lands of the southwest equal to 400 pounds and upwards of pork per acre when mllo Is grown and fed. Ten pounds of mllo have the same feeding value for horses, beef and dairy cattle, hogs and sheep aa nine pounds of corn. Mllo la the corn for the plaint of the southwest and should be grown instead of corn where the annual rain fall drops below 25 Inches. |
