Abstract IN THE southwest section of the United States it is very difficult to raise corn because of climatic conditions. Under irrigation these same climatic conditions favor high grain yields from two grain sorghums, yellow milo and hegari. It is generally known that these two grains are suitable for poultry feeding, yet many poultrymen who have migrated from corn raising localities are strongly prejudiced in favor of corn. Heywang and Morgan (1932) found that yellow milo or hegari could be used in place of half or all of the yellow corn in a chick diet that was not deficient in any way. Smith (1930a) found that milo and hegari were higher in protein and lower in fat than yellow corn. In the diet of the rat she found that milo and hegari like corn were deficient in protein and minerals. However, if they were supplemented with adequate quantities of vitamin A, . . .
