Drought has but little effect iji retarding its growth. It retains its dark green color and luxuriant foliage when other plants are shrivelled up by the heat. In the south it is sown thickly in drills, and cut for soil- ing stock, and if not allowed to flower, it will bear cutting until frost comes. Many sow it broadcast for hay. Pre- pare the ground well and sow one bushel of seed to the acre, harrowing it in. It makes an enormous yield of hay, but, from the succulent character of the stalks, ...it is difficult to cure, unless a good "spell" can be caught. However, if the farmer has a drove of mules or steers to fatten, he can cut a load or two at a time, throwing it into a rack, which can be replenished as . required, and the hay will remain green on the ground until frosty so that there is no danger of its being lost by becoming too ripe. In Germany the seeds are deprived of the chaff, and used as rice, and sells for the same price. In Asia and Africa it is made into a meal and eaten, either in gruel, cakes or bread.
