CORN FROM KAFFIR LAND.
There is a new species of corn, which
ia being cultivated with success in the
arid regions on the eastern elopes of the
Rocky mountains, and may prove
highly important to the whole arid
region of the United States. It is
called Kaffir corn, because it bad its
origin in the KaCir country of South
Africa, and will ifrow well in localities
"where wheat and ordinary corn would
die of drought. Last year great quanti
ties ol this new corn weie planted in the
dry regions of Western Kansas and
Oklahoma, and though the season was
an unusually dry one, the crops were
good. We should be glad to bear of ex
periments with this corn in Eastern
Oregon, Eastern Washington and Idaho,
and suggest that our agricultural col
leges seek information on the subject
from the bureau of agriculture nt Wash
ington, and take measures for obt :r
ment and distribution of parcels of I'
seed corn. We append an article from
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, whic'i
gives many details on this interesting
subject, viz:
The question of succesful farming in
the semi-arid regions of the great WeBt
is solved at last. Kaffir corn, first in
troduced on the Ame icpn continent
from the Kaffir country, in Africa, less
than a decade since, is still an unknown
product to nine-tenths of the people of
the United States.
At first planted here and there as a
curiosity, it wfs found to grow readily
in all localities and under all conditions,
and experiments developed the fact
that it would mature a crop in the dri
est and hottest seasons on the high
western plains. A more extended
planting of the new grain and a com
parison of results obtained soon devel
oped the fact that whether the season
was wet or dry, cool or hot, Ion-1; or
short, this new product would thrive on
all kinds of soils with the minimum of
care and cultivation, and planted any
time between the first of April and the
middle of July it would mature an ab
solutely sure crop of grai i and fodder
before the frosts of autumn.
The stalk looks somewhat like a sin
gle shoot of common corn, but shorter,
attaining a height usually of from four
and a half to six feet, and having point
ed leaves of a rich green color. The
grain forms in a head at the extreme
point of the shoot, where the tassel is
on ordinary corn, the beads being from
seven to twelve inches in length and six
to eight in circumference, and when ripe
look like great white or red plums.
The grains are almost round, a little
larger than a grain of rice and much re
sembling a grain of wheat in interior
structure.
There are two varieties, red and white,
the latter being the favorite crop..
Though raised as an experiment here
and there throughout the West for sev
eral years, it was not until the present
year that it b2came a prominent crop.
When the draught of last spring killed
Xhe wheat and oats and seemed almost
certain to ruin the corn, the few who
had had experience with the the new
grain began to advise their neighbors to
plant Kaffir corn, as it would grow all
right in dry weather, and they could
thus at least raise feed for their stock.
The newspapers took up the advice and
soon farmers were planting Kaffir corn,
utilizing the ground where wheat and
oats had failed and planting on sod or
scattered patches, where pearly corn had
been burned out.
The planting was continued until well
along in Aogast, the acreage being in
many sections greater than that ever de
voted to a single crop. In Oklahoma
alone nearly 50.C00 acres were planted
with the new crop. And every grain of
it planted grew and thrived to maturity,
and before the summer was over the
farmers began to wonder what they
-would do with it all. They knew it was
good feed for stock, but there was not
stock enough in the territory to consume
it, and the product was yet so new that
it was not r oguized in the outside
markets.
Experience bad already developed the
fact that it made a most admirable feed,
either to winter stock or fatten them for
" market, but with an abundance of the
grain on hand, Oklahoma farmers soon
discovered that it was better for horses
than cither corn or oats,' making them
fat and stout, and giving them a sleek,
glossy appearance.
When it came to feeding hogs, it was
found that tbey gained flesh more rap
!Ily than when fed on common corn,
and poultry men have found the Kaffir
grain an admirable egg-producer, and
when fed nntbrashed, the fowls are
given exercise in pickingit from the
head.
The boys and girls soon discovered
that it would pop as well as pop corn,
the grains popping ont large, white and
tender, and women in the country found
that, boiled like rice, the grain was ex
cellent eaten with cream and sugar;
that mashed into a pulpy mass it made
an admirable pudding; and it was also
a first-class substitute for hominy.
Still the quantity produced was so
great that the people continued to won
der what they would do with it.
The owner of the roller mills at Medi
cine Lodge, Kan., ran some of the grain
through the cornmeal grinder and pro
duced a meal pronounced in every way
equal to the ordinary cornmeal, but he
was not content with this, but rigged up
a special set of buhrs and produced a
new product that bids fair to create a
revolution in the world's breadstuff's
Kaffir flour. .
Some of the fiour was mads into lijht
bread. The bread was fully as while as
bread made from second-grade wheat
flour, and was sweet and palatable. .
