secured from the Texas Ex-
periment Station at Lubbock
In Texas biaekhul kafir there
were 5 demonstrators who had 86 rthe remainder of their cottonseed at
acres planted with 300 pounds of
pureline seed. The total yield of
kafir demonstrations was 2150
bushels of grain or an average of
25 bushels per acre which is an in-
crease of approximately 6 bushels
per acre over the kafir ordinarily
planted due to the uniformity in
growth and maturity. «
The 109 arcres planted in pure-
line hegari by 9 demonstrators av-
eraged 30 bushels of grain from the
first cutting and in most cases a
second crop wak produced that was
practically as good as the first one.
Dpe to an extreme early season
drought in this county the kafir
averaged fully 5 bushels of grain
more per acre than corn on the
same knd of land and the hegari
made 10 bushels more than corn.
