The Montello Sun says: son Mon
day last, John G. Jones brought into our
Office sample of syrup which he manu-
featured from corn stalks of the yellow
dent variety, which equals if not sur
passes any sorghum syrup We have seen
this season. Although it has somewhat
the same flavor, and color, it does not
seem to have that rank taste so common
to sorghum. Mr.. Jones says this is his
first effort to manufacture syrup from
corn stalks, but he thinks by experience
he can improve the quality and color.
The yield he claims is greater than that
of the cane grown this season, and very
much sweeter. If this can he success
fully accomplished our corn fields will
yield a much greater profit to the farmer
than heretofore. 1t will be well for the
farmers to investigate this matter"
