SWEET SORGHUM IS BEST
FOR DA|RYMEN, CATTLEMEN

In field trials at the Universit
farm at Davis the Honey sorghum
has given strikingly better result
than any of the other varieties. !
should also be noted that the varia
ton in yield from season to season
is less with this variety than with an!
of the others. Of the first three va
rieties in the test, the yield IS IL
roportion to the length of the grow
ing season. The Early Amber, which
gave the lowest yield, is an early
maturing variety, reaching maturity
at Davis in lis to $50 days. REQ
| Amber natures about two weeks
later and Honey about three to foul
weeks later. The Orange sorghum
on the other hand, is slightly later
maturing than the Honey, yet gave
considerably lower yield. The va
riation in yield for the different sea
sons is also much greater in the case
of the Orange than with the other
varieties. The relatively lower yield
of the Sumac, which is very late
maturing variety, is doubtless due to
the fact that in none of the three
seasons did it reach maturity before
the fall frosts occurred. Goose-neck
sorghum, previously discussed, was
grown in 1915, but the crop was
destroyed by frost before it had
started to head. The use of this
variety, as well as that of the Su-
mac, will doubtless have to be con-
fined to the San Joaquin and Impe-
rial valleys, where the growing sea
son is of sufficient length to permit
of their maturing.
In 1917 field tests with three va
rieties for silage purposes under ir-
rigation were made at the University
Farm at Davis, and the results, as
reported by Professor Thomas Tav-
ernetti, are as follows:
Tons per Acre
Red Amber Observation-Disclosures. .22.6
Honey oh
orange .Io.o
1t will be noted that while the ac-
tual yields were higher, as would be
expected, the relative yields are prac-
tically the same as when grown with
out irrigation. In this case, ow-
ever, the Honey and Orange varie-
ties wer allowed to stand in the field
for couple of weeks after maturity
and were subject to severe north wind
which whipper off large proportion
of the leaves, thus lowering the ac-
tual yield materially.
A variety test was also conducted
at the Kearney Park Station in 1917,
including practically all of the vari-
etiese previous cited. This test was
conducted on sub-irrigated land and
the results as reported BY ]. A. Den
ney, in charge of the Kearney Park
Station, are given in Table II.

maturity, though the plants were

occur in that section at an earlier
date, the second growth cannot be re-
lied upon. The Orange and Sumac
varieties made little second
growth, but not enough to be of any
value.
Comparing the results on the ba-
sis of the first crop alone, it will be
noted that the Sumas gave much the
highest yield, with Honey second.
The Red Amber, in sipte of the fact
that it matured somewhat earlier
than the Orange, gave higher yield.
On the whole, with the exception of
the Sumac, the results are in the
same relative order as at Davis.

If a variety to be grown cannot be
made on the basis of gross yield
alone. Especially is this true when
it is to be used for silage and grown
as a second crop following grain,
grain hay or some other spring crop.
In such cases earliness of maturity
must also be considered, since sor-
ghum, to make good silage, must be
fully matured when harvested. AS a
second crop, therefore, Early Amber
and Red Amber will doubtless find
the widest use, while in sections with
relatively long growing seasons Hon.
ey sorghum could be used.

 We'll to do people don't seem to

 with invitations to save your quar-
 ters and buy thrift stamps They
 know of the boy scouts and the girl
 scouts and ladies' societies taking 1t
 upon themselves to canvass schools
 and stores and offices, but they hear
 mostly of the thrift stamps the 25-

 know that the government permits ev-
 eryone to- invest in these stamps up
 to $1o0, but no more. I should like to see some signs which read this
 way:
 "Pay $s2so now and draw s1Oo in January, 1923" "Or invest $S2S now
 and draw 5000 in January, 1923.' But there are rather selfish argu- ments, made possible by the fact that we are the richest government in the world and ask no one for their money without giving ample security and proper return. There are other argu ments which are even more import ant, and not least is the fact that we are sending our young men over to do for us what we feel must be done.
