CORN IN KANSAS
In Ten Counties 1t Is More
Profitable Than Sorghum.
In o. Counties Latter Crop
Brings More Revenue.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 19.-There
are only ten counties in Kansas where
corn is more profitable for the farmer
to grow than sorghums. In the other
95 counties, sorghum is a more prof.
table crop than corn. Sorghums are
especially favorable for Kansas far
mers.
Kansas has a warm climate and a
dry soil, and these are the chief rea-
sons why sorghums prove a profitable
crop over the entire state, says G.. E.
Thompson, superintendent of field
sub-stations In the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Kansas is the greatest sorghum
state in the United States. In 1900
Kansas raised more than 100000
acres OF sorghums. Butler county is
the greatest kafir county in the world.
In western Kansas, sorghums are
worth twice as much as corn.
There are 20 varieties of sorghums
of importance in Kansas but there are
only three or four that are adapted
for growth in q locality In Kansas.
the black amber cane is grown the
most but 1t Is the poorest sweet sor-
ghum that the Kansas farmer can
grow. There is less profit in growing
this variety of sorghum because Of the
few leaves that are on the stalks. The
protein In sorghum Is in the leaves
and when there are few leaves the
sorghum Is of little value as a forage
crop. Kansas orange cane is the best
variety for eastern or central Kansas
1t has been known to yield Is tons of
silage to the acre. In the regions
around Russell county. western
orange cane is the best variety to
grow.
In the region lying south Of the Ar
kansas river, sumac sorghum does the
best. 1t does not produce a heavy
seed crop but has a good yield of for
age. Red amber cane Is good for
Ford county and that part Of the state.
Freed sorghum Is the best variety Of
sorghum for the extreme western part
of Kansas. It is the quickest to ma
ture of any sorghum and Is especially
good for feeding purposes, the stalk
having from seven to eight ears which
have low per cent of tanic acid For
this reason the stock enjoy eating
Freed sorghum.

had already heard Of the senate ac-
ton in injecting referendum pro-
vision in the measure and proceeded
to the passage of the measure with
out undue Inequalities. The tax levy
provision was amended, however. to
provide that the minimum levy Tor

Kansas are poisonous. and dangerous.

All others destroy the pests which at

Professor Ringle has small collec-

he uses to demonstrate his theory that
the farmer displays ingratitude when
he makes war on the nonpoisonous
reptiles.
