The chemist of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington is exceeding anxious
to start sorghum boom" He is conn
dent that from ten acres of ground ne can
return twenty tons of raw sorghum sugar,
fully equal to the best raw cane sugar.
which is better result than is reached IN
Louisiana on the average with sugar-cane.
THERE'S wide area of territory adapted
to the cultivation. which, in the chemist
opinion. can be made to pay. The corn
crop of Illinois, for example, says this
enthusiast, lis worth about $75,OO0.o00
annually. If they will devote one tenth OF
the acreage to sorghum of the variety best
suited to the latitude, they can raise sugar
in amount equal to our whole annual i'm
portation, which is about $lO9,000,000
worth, and even this will only equal so
per cent of the most favorable OF my ex-
periments. The secret, now that the
method of capitalization is understood,
lies simply in the time to gather the crop.
and in this respect my experiments are
com plete and conclusive. Whether this
sorghum sugar ofthe chemists is anything
more than bureau "taffy," practical farm
ers will have to find out for themselves.
