GroD Sorghum Cane;
Sugar Substitute

Sorghum cane can be grown sue
| cessfully on farms and in gardens of
this county. There are already ten
mills in the county to reduce the cane
to syrup. The syrup is a sugar sub
| stitute for many purposes. and an acre
OF cane vii produce from 100 to $50
gallons of syrup. Some farmers have
| been growing sorghum cane for a
number of years so the venture locally
is not much of gamble Twelve bar
rels of sorghum were made at the
county farm last season.
The following article on the subject
| which would interest all who have the
| land and who want to conserve sugar
has been contributed by County Agent
w. A. Buchaan:
Marshall county people can do a
great deal toward meeting the sugar
shortage by growing cane on farms as
we'll as many of the city lots not
planted to gardens. Sorghum cane
yields as much as 100 to $50 gallons of
syrup per acre, which is worth quite a
sum at the present price. Sorghum
has many uses and contains more
sugar than corn syrup and when pro-
perly made from well ripened cane
will tickle the palate fthe most criti-
cal. Increased production of cane
syrup. sugar beet syrup, and honey
| will aid materially in releasing more
sugar for the allied countries.
| A clay loan or sandy loan soil pro-
duces an excellent quality Of syrup Of
a lighter color; while heavy land pro-
duces heavier yields but the syrup is
| not of the best quality. Ground in
tended for cane raising should be pre-
| pared ahead of time. Plowed ground
should be disked and narrowed several
times previous to planting time to
prepare proper seed bed free from
weeds and grass. The seed is best
drlld in about an inch deep when the
soil is thoroughly warmed up during
the middle of May. Three or four
pounds of well cleaned seed will plant
an acre Corn planter plates with
eight to ten quarterback holes will
plant about the right amount Of seed
per acre when controlled by medium
sized sprocket A large acreage Of
cane is more satisfactorily handled

iod Of two or three weeks to facilitate

Early Amber cane, Kenney's Early,
and Early Rose are some of the best
varieties Of cane to grow for sorghum
purposes. The Early Orange should
not be seeded this far north as it is
later in maturing and does not pro-
duce as good a grade of sorghum or as
Cane mill operators state that good
grade Of sorghum can not be made
from late seed cane. Cane should be
well matured to give it the sweetness
required in producing the best quality
Of sorghum. A large amount Of cane
seed can be secured from a one half
acre or acre patch, which can be used
for seed or feeding purposes and the
stripped cane leaves cured out we'll
will make an excellent roughage. A
recent survey made of the cane mills
available in Marshall county discloses
the fact that ten such mills are avail
able. Cane mill operators generally
charge one-half of the sorghum Sc
cured or it's equivalent, for making.
One or more farmers in the follow
ing townships operate sorghum mills:
Bangor, LeGrand, Green Castle, Tim
Der Creek, Marion. Linn and Wash
ington. The names of the owners OF
these mills may be obtained by apply
ing to the county agents office.
Mr.. Buchanan says that Logan.
Vienna, Minerva, and State Center
townships need cane, mills. as those
now in the county are too far distant
from these townships. Farmers in
Vienna and Marion townships are al
ready making arrangements to secure
mills and to get sufficient acreage of
cane grown to make the ventures a
success. A few Of the pioneer sorghum
makers have volunteered their serv-
ices to help start these mills. Those
who are unable to secure recon-
mended varieties of sorghum cane seed
can procure it by making application
thru the county agents office.

MANY ATTEND AD CLUB MEETING

chandising Experts Address.
Over fifty members and guests OF
the local ad club were in attendance
Wednesday evening at the regular
meeting of the club, when II. c. John
son. Of Des Moines. merchandising ex
pert of the Merchants Trade Journal
gave an address dealing with the
changed conditions that now confront
the retail merchant as a result Of the
war.
Mr.. Johnson's train was late, and
while waiting FOR him d doZeI, mem
bers of the club spoke briefly and in
formally on different subjects Of in
terest and pertinent to advertising.
Mr.. Johnson's central thought was
the new conditions that confront the
retailer, and that system in business
now was the only thing that Is goins
to win. The speaker referred to the
cost and profits getting nearer together
because Of the war; therefore the mer-
chant mustabe satisfied with a smaller
margin OF profit, as the percentage OF
overhead is growing continually while
the profits are lessening. The talk was
very interesting to all and especially
those engaged in retail lines.
The Wednesday night meeting was
in charge Of committee composed OF
F.. o. Bailey, chairman, Clyde Case
and w C. McCarten. Dinner was
served at $50. Frank Armstrong, OF
Des Moines. chairman OF the vigilance
committee Of the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs Of Iowa, who was scheduled
for an address, was unable to be pre-

FEEDING CHICKS.

In raising chicks, the measure of
success will depend largely on the
amount Of care and the attention that
is given them. Not only is their fu-
ture health dependent on this, but the
productiveness of the flock when ma
tured will be influenced by the care
that Is given them as chicks. If i'm
proper rations and methods are used.
1t will be evidenced by stLnted growth.
lack Of appetite, weak vitality and
| general inactivity.
1t Is important that the rations for
chicks be very digestible, they should
be made up of variety of sweet and
clean foods in order to stimulate con-
sumption and promote health. Baby
chicks should never be fed until they
are at least As hours old. The reason
for this delay in feeding is to permit
the absorption of the egg that is in the
body OF the chick and connected to
the digestinal tract at Matching time.
The first few days incubator chicks
should be kept either in the incubator,
| or under or about the brooder hover.
During the first week the chicks
should be fed often, little at time,
in order to keep them working and
hungry. No more feed should be given
them at one time than they will clean
up promptly. 1t Is very important to
feed small amount of green food at
some time during the day, such as
chopped clover, alfalfa, sprouted oats
| or Swiss chard.
Keep the litter clean and sanitary
always.
BY all means do not feed musty or
moldy grain, ground or otherwise, as
this is very often the cause of seri-
| Gus bowel trouble. The presence of
mould can often be detected by scent
and when 1t can not be seen.
For the first two weeks feed a grain
mixture made up of three parts
| cracked corn, two parts steel-cut oats.

small quantity Of the mash mixture
and add one-third as much hard boiled

has been chopped very fine, and a
small amount Of chopped green feed
Moisten this with sour or butter milk
and feed in crumbly state five times

are fed as prescribed. there will be

The coops and appliances should be
