Bonita maize has been termed
the miracle sorghum by some who
have grown it. This is a new sor-
ghum out from the experiment
station two years.
It has made good production for
Leo M. Britten in the Groom com-
munity of this county. However,
most of the news about this new
sorghum comes from Runnels
County. It has shown itself to be
a drought resister this year. Ac-
cording to reports from the Coun-
ty Agent there it has produced
twice as much grain per acre as
the regular combine maize used in
the area. Yields of 1,200 to 3,001)
pounds of threshed grain per acre
have been reported as compared to
yields of 600 to 1,500 pounds per
acre of other varieties.
Beginning with the next plant-
ing season there will be plenty of
the seed available for any farmer
who desires to use it. Certified
seed of this variety can be had
from some of the certified seed (
producers on the South Plains or
from the Clhillicothe Experiment
Station where the original Bonita
maize was produced. It. is a cross

chiltex is a cross .of kafir and fet-

situation.

with the financial reserve he must have to sur-
vive the ordinary ups and downs of farming
as a business.
4. Money will be needed urgently at a future
date to replace and repair farm equipment,
machinery, and buildings. War Bonds will
provide it.
5. War Bonds are the safest investment in
the world, return a good rate of interest, are
easy and convenient to buy. . . from bank,
