"DEARL millet, Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.) Stapf and -*C. E. Hubb., is a highly cross-pollinated annual bunch grass grown for grain and forage. Research indicates that maximum advance in the genetic improvement of this grass requires the development and use of commercial F! hybrids (4, 6). Great impetus was given to this breeding procedure by the discovery and development of cytoplasmic male-sterile stocks of pearl millet (5). Consequent in-
