Milo

a variety of durra grown in dry and semi-arid regions for forage. Like the other durras and the kafirs, milo is an African sorghum. The Colorado Agricultural College reports that 100 pounds of milo seed is equivalent to 90 pounds of corn for fattening steers. When cut in the bloom the plant makes excellent forage, especially if fed with alfalfa, linseed, or cottonseed meal. It is said that 25,000,000 acres in Colorado alone are adapted to the growth of milo. See Kafir
