The SORGHUM CROP IN KANSAS


The sorghums are adapted TO with
stand heat and shortages of moisture.
They are capable of lying dormant
during long spells and then producing
a splendid growth upon receiving
rain late in the season. Sorghums
readily adapt themselves to the ccndi-
tions peculiar TO Kansas and are
among the most reliable and profit
able summer crops to grow They are
quite as well adapted to almost every
part of the state as corn, and, if
grown, will be found to be very close
competitors of corn even in the best
corn sections, while in the western
part of-the state they produce larger
yields than corn. In feeding value,
their grain, hay, and silage compare
favorably with other crops.
The general term sorghum includes
not only those sweet sorts enormously
called cane but also the kafrs.
milo, broom corn, and several others.
Those having sweet juice are called
saccharine sorghums. while those hav-
ing. a juice which is comparatively
lacking in sweetness are called non
saccharine sorghums

BETTER SEED, BETTER YIELDS

The work in testing varieties and
breeding crops at the Kansas Expert
ment Station, has shown that it is
possible to increase the average yield
of the standard crops in this state
% per cent by the single factor of in
PRODUCING and planting pure seed of
we'll bred and high producing va
rieties. One of the improved vari-
cites of winter wheat grown on the
Kansas Agricultural College farm,
actually produced 1919 bushels more
grain an acre every year, or. net
annual profit of nearly 81 an acre as
an average for three years, above that
produced by common scrub wheat. Of
the same type. Farmers all over the
state, who have planted this improved
wheat, have reported similar results,
the increase in yield from the well
bred wheat being often much larger
than the differences obtained at the
station.
