6 ' 3TJNE: OCTOBER FARM AND GARDEN NEW MEMBER OF MAIZE FAMILY, MAKES RECORD NEW CORN PLANT DEVELOPED Grohoma Yields 100 Bu. Per Acre. BY PAUL POTTER. Every now and then a plant specialist brings before the public eye some new variety or species which combines the favorable qualities of two or more well known plants. And, customarily, this new plant has been nurtured and bred over and over again through funds from a state college, experiment station, or commercial establishment. Not so, however, with the newest member of the corn or maize family, which this week has been harvested before the wondering eyes of state and federal crops specialists the result of crossing ribbon cane with kafir corn by an Oklahoma farmer, Fred Groff. Grohoma, the name of this newest baby in the corn family, was coined from the name of its creator and the state in which it first supplied forage and grain. Just this week, a twenty acre field on the farm of State Representative Harvey O'Hair, in Coles county, Illinois, and another near Kit Carson, Colo., were cut for thrashing. Proves Drought Resistant. Curiously enough, in a year of unprecedented drought and heat during the corn growing season, this crop has shown unusual endurance, some of the roots extending 4 feet into the ground. There are five to ten heads on a hill, the stalk of which is prolific in foliage that looks like corn with the leaves closer together. Some of the heads in the Colorado field are reported to be 22 inches long, the grain itself running yields of one hundred bushels to the acre. While this is Grohoma's first year in other states than Oklahoma, it is the fifth year the characteristics have remained fixed without reverting or forming sportive growth. 'Mr. Groff, who has several other breeding achievements to his credit, finds the new crop attracting hundreds of visitors, who contrast its luxuriant growth alongside cornfields burned to a crisp." Makes His Own "Farm Relief.", I grew tired of starving to death," he explained in a sort of jocular vein, ' so I did a little relief work of my own." Tests on the milling and feed value of Grohoma have been made by Okla- Crossing kafir corn with ribbon cane, a new plant has been developed with unusual forage and grain producing qualities and said to be able to withstand drought successfully. Here are shown Harvey O'Hair, Illinois representative, on whose farm the Grohoma, as the new plant is known, is being harvested, and the farm adviser of Coles county, Melvin Thomas. home agricultural officials at his re quest, with gratifying results. The 1930 supply of seed-10,000 bushels is already completely sold. This 90 day crop is said to be higher in protein, fat and nitrogen-free eic tract than corn, wheat, or oats. It grows about five feet high, and retains most of the cane's sweetness in the stalks. Some cattle are being fed on Grohoma now, to be exhibited at the International Live Stock exposition in Chicago in December by J. W. Frazier, Illinois farmer. A liberal sampling of this unusual crop has been matured in Cook county this summer by Bruce Hardin, Harvey banker. The stalks on this plot were almost as thick as cornstalks, and the grain itself about the size of wheat, with several thousands of them to a hill. In contrast to this range of climate from Oklahoma north to Cook county, Illinois, the new corn also matured at an altitude of 4,000 feet in eastern Colorado. Another unusual characteristic of the crop has been that when the stalks were cut in early summer another crop grows, indicating the dual purpose possibilities for forage feed and grain production.
