SORCHuMS URGED AS
VALLEY FORAGE CROP

In the drier sections of the South
vest, where corn cannot be depended
upon to thrive, farmers can best add
10 the nations food supply by grow
ing grain sorghums more extensive
", say specialists of the United States
department of Agriculture.
These crops, including kaffir, milo
and feterita. are drought-resistant
and in most seasons produce profit
able yields even though corn may
be failure in the same localities. The
states in which these crops may be
grown to best advantage are Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and
California.
Although the sorghum grains, when
ground and used in making mushes,
bt eads and puddings, are comparable
to corn in food value, they have not
been used generally for human food
in the United States. Their chief
value, therefore, in the present emer-
Cency, will be as feed for livestoch
and poultry. If used in this way they
will release for use as human fooC
large quantities of the more common
food grains now fed to animals.
