Yesterday were two which bear on

the lower court Is reversed. The tue
of the ease is Lawrence county vs.

others, being against the Taylor

tanned. In this case the legal bond de-

suit was brought by the state to re-
cover. the plea was to set up that the
bondsmen were only liable for the
legal amount of ,he bond, and not for
amy excess above the legal require

Sorghum az Green Fodder.

Except for its extra amount of sweet.
corn as green fodder, and it has two
very obvious disadvantages. One Is that
the sorghum lacks the ears of corn that
the corn fodder if properly grown may
have, and the other is that the sorghum
stalk is so hard that it is difficult and
sometimes dangerous for stock to eat i.
unless first crushed in grinding to ex
press its sap. The bagasse or pulped
sorghum stalks after the juices have
been expressed are greedily eaten by
stock. But ;he mass heats very quickly
and quickly turns sour, so that it does
injury rather than good.
Wherever there are facilities foI
grinding sorghum, farmers who i've
near the mills can get some good from
the sorghum bagasse. But It's nutritive
value is small, as the woody part of the
stalk has very little in 1T that IS indi-
gestble 1t costs more to grow sorghum
than it does to grow fodder corn because
it starts very slowly and is hard to keep
from being oyergrown with weeds while
small. After 1t gets knee high the sor-
ghum will grow fast enough, hut until
that time II requires more labor to keep
free from weeds than does corn and its
fodder is less valuable, The sorghum is
grown for fodder in some parts of the
west because its root runs down deeper
than corn roots do, and it is thus able to
live through severe droughts that withet
