Eighth Kansas regiment, contrasting
his services with those of Moonlight and

quite generally copied by the Republi-
can press of the state, and Gov. Martin,
in a personal letter to us, mentioned
quite a number of facts and events not
alluded to III the article, justifying far
more than had been said in it in his ia

modest pride and unaSsuming character
of the lamented soldier and distinguished
citizen, and we feal that now there can
be no improperly in printing what he
may have privately said or written of
the part borne by himself in that patri-
otto struggle in establishing the honor

simplified. The operation of converting
the cane into the chopped feed which
is dumped into the battery, as the
iron tanks are called, was rapid one.
The answer to the question. .sCan
sugar be made from the sorghum cane:"
was being abundantly given. There
were piles of barrels filled with sugar,
and here the freshly made sugar Law in
high piles on the floor, and workman
handed ussome on wooden shovel to
taste. 1t was fine brown sugar and no
trace of the sorghum taste was per-
ceptible.
The next question that follows "Can
sugar be manufactured at profit from
the sorghum cane in Kansas" l found
still under discussion.
The gentlemen in charge OF the Fort
Scott sugar works were not posted in re-
gard to other sugar works in Kansas
this season, and even had they possessed
the information would have chary of
dealing it out: but enough has been
gathered from other sources TO lead TO
the belief that the Fort Scott works will
manufacture as much sugar this season
as all the other sugar factories in Kansas
put together
WIZ even the Fort Scott works make
any money:
Judging from the tone of remark on
the premises your correspondent would
answer doubtful"
That sorghum sugar can be made is as
certain as that -four can be made from
wheat: but making wheat -four does not
always pay. and making sugar from
sorghum does not pay as vet.
The especial trouble al Fort Scott was
late cane season owing 10 rain, and the
reduced Weld of sugar from the cane.
