Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corn, Milo, and Kafir in the Southern Great Plains Area: Relation of Cultural Methods to Production Milo has given higher average yields at Dalhart, Tex, than at any Of the other stations, and there is a greater range in the average profits per acre from different methods. The grain yields vary from a complete failure to 69 bushels per acre. Records for six years are available from, this station. In all _but two years milo has been grown at a profit by all methods. Under trial. Milo following summer tillage has been profitable in all years except one. This fact, combined with the high average yield of both grainand stover and the net profit of per acre that it returns, makes it a method of great importance forthe Dalhart region. The crop was harvested in bulk and con verted into ensilage in 1913, but the, summer-tilled plat produced an estimated yield of at least 600 pounds of grain per acre. The yields obtained show that summer tillage has insured a grain yield in dry years, and, except in One year, has increased the yield over that from other methods.
