submitted as part Of our report.
For the purpose OF refining sorghum ssrupe,
your committee are satisfied that the Southern
process Is the best ct which they have any
knowledge; and if sugar can be successfully
manufactured from the sorghum cane, then
the cultivation OF the cane. and ths manumo
ture OF sugar by this process, will prove,hlghfy
remuuerative to the Southern planter. Even
should it be found impraoticable 10 manufac.
trlre sugar from sorghum, still this process
will be mighty valuable for the purpose ORE
fning syrups. - =,
From the information before your commit

the Southern process for refining syrups TO the
favorable consideration OF the planters OF the
