SORGHUM IN SOUTHERN IowA-Our
exchanges from the Southern part of To-
wa speak OF the prospects Of making
sorghum sugar very flattcringiy The
croy of cane is general good, and there
is great deal of it. The success at
tending its culture gives such confidence
IN the experiment, that sugar cane may
be regarded as staple OF Southern To-.
wa. In the Northern counties, success
has generally been the result of the ex-
pertinent of this year also, but it has not
been tried to such an extent as in the
southern counties, from all that we have
been atle to perceive or hear. 1t will
be great advantage tor Iowa to raise
sugar or syrup enough for home CON
sumption,even if the cost of raising them
be as much as it would be to buy them.
Therei, always some advantage in home
productions, which do not accrue from
those Of foreign growth. Home produc-
tons give employment to home labor,
and there is generally some waste or
otfal which can be turned to good &C.
count. Everything that the soil of Iowa
can produce to advantage should be-
come an object of the husbandman's
care. Dubuque Herald.
