stitutional amendment adopted at the
recent election. They are: J. G. Pol

To Revive . Kansas Industrv.

In paper on the manufacture of
table sirup from sorghum, read be-
fore the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, A. A. Denton, of Medicine
Lodge, foreshadowed the large possi-
biities Of revived industry in Kan
sas. Mr.. Denton's paper was written
to stimulate attempts to make pure
sorghum sirup. If it could be made
pure, he stated, it would become .
greater industry than the making Of
sugar sirup in the southern states.
He said that Kansas offered great
chance for sorghum-sirup making,
because is was especially adapted foI
sorghum growing.
