SORGHUM SYRUP.
This Sweet Is the Subject of nn Ag-
rfculturaI Bulletin


The Department Of Agriculture has is
sued an advance circular on the manufac-
ture of sorghum syrup It is said that
the manufacture Of sorghum syrup has
changed but little in the past forty years.
The processes now used are essentially the
same as then. This lack of progress is in
striking contrast with the improvements
which have been made in nearly all otaer
manufactures during that period.
In 1860 the production Of sorghum syrup
amounted to 6.749,123 gallons; in 1870, 16.-
| 050,0S9; and in 1880, 2s,444, ,202. In 1880
the production had fallen to q, ,235, ,21S gal
Ions, and it Is believed that there has
| been still further decline since then.
Sorghum is grown to, greater extent in
this country than any other syrup-produc-
ing plant, and its Juice can be made 10
produce syrup of as good quality as sugar
cane syrup.
The manufacture of sorghum syrup has
declined because the quality of syrup is
such that other syrups are preferred by
the general public, since it ranks in the
| northern markets with the middle grades
of Louisiana centrifugal mo.asses.
| BY improving the value of sorghum
| syrup the demand may be increased, its
| value raised, and its manufacture extend
| ed.
| For the purpose of calling attention to
| the condition of this industry and to the
difficulties OF sorghum syrup manufacture,
and with the hope of inducing syrup max
ers to improve their processes, the d; part
| ment of Agriculture has had prepared aud

ghum Syrup"
This bulletin was prepared by A. A.
| Denton, Medicine Lodge, Kans., and dis
cusses the entire subject of the manufac-
! ture of sorghum syrup, from the p an I'M g
! of the sorghum seed and cultivation of the
| plant through the various processes to the
/ finished product.
Sorghum syrup and sugar-cane syrup are
compared, statistics of sorghum produc-
| tion are given, and the necessity of i'm
proving the methods OF clarification, espe-
cially in the semi-arid region, is pointed
| out.
| Other matters which receive attention
are the preparation of soil; planting and
cultivation of sorghum, grinding cane.

and the uptown car must wait at each cor
ner for the downtown car to pass. AS these
waits are frequently as long as fifteen or
twenty minutes. the Japanese have discov-
cred that they can walk considerably fast
er. Hence, the roads are patronized By
country people. who take a ride for the
wild novelty OF the thing. Yet both of
these systems were bought in America and
sold to Japanese as the best procurable,
and sold at an enormous figure, too.
But the Japanese know bstter nov, for
experience has been their teacher, and
when Japan now adopts any street raj road
system it will be the best. Toxic. of
course. will be the starting point. II has
over 200, 900 inhabitants, and a larger
area than any city in this country. The
Japanese will certainly be riding peop
when they have adequate transportation
offered them. This will be apprecia ed
when the enormous profits OF the present
tram-car line is considered. Japan Will
also welcome American capital. and / b.
lieVe will offer it greater inducements than
that coming from any European country.
One Of the strongest characteristics CT the
Japanese Is gratitude, and they have never
forgotten that it was Commodore Perry
who first opened Japan to the world.
The supplies and equipments for the
various roads it is proposed to build wi
be unquestionabiy purchased in the United
States. These will include motors. cars.
and probably also rails. As TO the success
of the venture. l can only say that Japan
has many large cities, all well Iaved
population OF over 40,O00.OG0 people. and
only four and a half miles of practical
street car lines. But apart from this. there
will be other opportunities for the invest
ment OF American capital, and while 1
would by no means advise young Amer
lean to go to Japan to seek his fortune
for wages are small and good opportunities
rare-yet as a profitable and safe invest
ment for American gold l think the coun-
try offers advantages second to no other,
and where rates of interest on legitimate
investments may be secured that it would
be impossible to realize in this country"
