CORNsTALK MoLASsEs
Successfully and Probably Made IL
BulloCh COUNTY

Bulloch County.
PEMBROKE. GA, April 15.-I have been
requested by several truck farmers in this
vicinity to publish my last years experience
in making cornstalk molasses. l planted
two acres of rich, mucky land In corn about
April l, fertilizing it heavily with home.
made compost twice during its after-growth,
which OF course made quite large and heavy
stalks and ears. full of sweet juice, reSem-
bling in every respect the juice from the old
china or sorghum cane. did not plant it
with that intention. but after observing this
L Immediately pulled the corn ears while
green and shipped them IN barrels TO Bos-
ton, which alone doubly paid my expenses
OF planting, tertIlizing and gathering. l
then pulled the blades off, leaving them on
the ground to be plowed under, aud hastily
proceeded to cut down the stalks,
cut of the tops and haul to
my furnace. l ground the stalks
to pieces and boiled the juice in the usual
way that we do sugar oane-about three
hours with a moderately hot fire under the
boiler, which held eighty gallons. II pro-
duced, after the process was completed
nine gallons Of the whItest, purest aud most
fragrant syrup that have ever tasted. It
was thick and full of sweetness, which did
not have the burning belonging to sorghum
and sugar cane molasses
Granulated sugar could not be melted
and made into clearer syrup than this.
There are numerous advantages in grind
ing corDstalks over that OF sugar cane
Using the old-fashioned roller MILL l filed
it with five or six stalks at
once, and one small pony pulled
them through with no strain at all,
and could have pulled twice that amount.
The two acres made three barrels of the
syrup Of which speak. and it was not neo-
essary for me to ship it in
| order to dispose of it, as
two barrels retailed at 81 per gallon right
here in this county, and l could have sold
much more at the same price if l had made
1t. This year have planted twenty acres
/ OF land in corn and shall GO through the
same process Of planting, manuring and
gathering as | did last year, and there are
many others engaging in the production Of
corn, principally for the cornstalk molasses.
Corn gathered while green will not, OF
course, do for planting but 1t will do as
well as any for feed corn.
