Five young men, students of the |
rort Hays Normal, are making ar
angements to plant an acre of sor-
hum cane, each, and the Normal au- /
horlties have promised to purchase /
nd install machinery to manufacture /
he molasses. Genuine unadulter-
ted sorghum has been a rare article /
Or many years. Time was-during. |
he war of the sixties-it was about |
III the sweet" the farmer used or
ouid get, and every fall nearly every
armer made a number of barrels of |
and some of them attempted /
o make sugar, which however, was
hore or less failure Sorghum mo-
asses is a clean, wholesome sweet /
nd We hope the boys viii succeed.
