FIRST GALLON SORGHUM
MADE IN FULTON COUNTY.

Judge Jno, W. Cowgirl, proba-
bly, the best posted man in the
county on the last half century's
history Of this section, related an
incident a day or so ago, con
traSted with the present day meth
DDS. that will bear repeating,
and serves as a barometer of
progress. When he was a boy,
such 4 thing as sorghum molass.
Is IN Fulton county was unknown
except rs read OF. 1t seems that
hS father decided TO buy some
cane seed and try raising a crop
of the new tangled stuff
with a view 20 using the cane
Tor fodder or roughage for stock.
The experiment was entirely sue
ceSstuli the first crop growing
off satisfactorily. At the time
of harvesting It, Judge conclud-
ed 10 try his hand at making
molasseS from the cane-as one
or two of the numerically few
farm journals OF thQt aye had
stated conclusiyely it could b.
used for this purpose and made
talr substitute for the famous
old New Orleans molasses.
In short, he gathered some
choice stalks, chopped them up
IN short pieces, which he ground
m a cider mill and pressed out
The Jure by the cbdermaking
process. BY patient effort, he
secured ten gallons of juice This
was placed in ono of the old
brass kettles and boiled down
TO about one gallon and 10.
The magical trick was turned o.
the first gallon OF sorghum ever
produced in Fulton county was
then and there made. The new
product created next a. conster-
nation At the county fair when
"a quart jar Of the new molas,-
- was placed on exhibition
While no such strange crltier'
had ever been mentioned in the
premium list, the Judges volun.
teerod 10 tie a blue ribbon on
the jar and award the maker o
bright, new silver dollar by way

From that day % this. the IN
dustry grew and fIouriShed and
today we have in the plant Of
McMurry Bros, near Hickman.

ing plant in Western Kentucky,
turning out thousands OF gallons
