(Castanea mollissima A Promising Chestnut From Northern China.BLUME; S. P. I. No. 56397) The rapidly progressing destruction of native American chestnut forests by blight has focusedthe attention of horticulturists upon this Chinese species, which has already shown its adapta-bility to climatic and soil conditions in this country as well as a remarkable degree of resist-ance to the disease. It is promising not only as a source of tannin but also for its edible nuts,which are nearly as large and as good as those of the native American chestnut. Theattention of the Department of Agriculture was first directed to this species by the lateFrank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer. (Photographed by C. A.

Millet formsone of the most important cereal foodsof the natives of northern China. I con-sider it delightful as a breakfast food,although among the Chinese it is classed withsweet potatoes as coolie food. There aremany varieties ranging in height up to 3 or4 or even 6 feet, and there are said to be twodistinct groups, the ordinary kind and theglutinous kind. 56399 and 56400. From Darjiling, India.
