SORGHUM CROP INCREASES
IN IOWA

With the high price of sugar at hand
the prospects of a large planting of
sorghum are very good, according to
reports from the farm crops section Of
Iowa State college, who have received
more requests for seed than they can
fill and are turning down applications
at present.
Sorghum is hot weather crop and
does well in Iowa. The ground should
be warm before the crop is planted and
does best when soWn two to three
weeks after corn planting. 1t has been
found to do well on clay or sandy loan
rather than the heavy black soils of
the state. The seed should be drilled
or placed in hills, similar to corn plant
Ing and at the rate of two pounds per
acre.
Production of sorghum in Iowa was
very low before 1917. Since that time
due to the increased cost Of cane sugar
It has increased in acreage. In 1880
there were 30,000,0O0 gallons of sor-
ghum syrup produced in the United
States. This production fell off from
that time and in 1900 only half the
amount of 1880 was produced. Since
the war it has been d popular crop.

INNER COATING FOR

Representatives OF the United States
\ Department of Agriculture have been
sending out considerable printed mat
TER and are causing considerable agita
ton fayoring the applying of some ma
terial on the inner surface of silos for
the purpose of making them more near
ly air tight. The department says:
The two materials most commonly
! advocated for this work are paraffin ap-
Piled in the melted or liquid form and
coal tar. Not a great deal of data is
4 available as a result of the practical
experience of dairy farmers in their
use
eMr. Argyle of Utah, through the
western Office of the dairy division, is
mentioned as having built four new
silOs one year ago. Three of these silos
were given a coating of coal tar, while
the fourth had an inside coating of par
atm. In this particular instance we
are advised that the paraffin was put
on In too heavy a coat, about $50
pounds of paraffin being used for the
work. This made the cost run. much
higher than it should otherwise, and
due to the heavy coating caused consid-
cradle scaling and chipping off. Mr..
Argyle is quoted, however, as much pre-.
ferring the paraffin to coal tar as a
silo lining. During the winter months
ne stated that but a very small amount
OF SllaSe stuck or frOZe to the para
fined walls during the most severe win
ter temperatures, while in the case of
the tarred silos there was considerable
trouble with the silage freezing to the
walls.
Another advantage in favor of the
use of paraffin is that there was not a
single notice of moldy silage. Mold, of
course, is caused by the presence of
air. The paraffin lining comes nearer
making the silo air tight and thus, Of
course, prevents chances Of mold.

'Dairymen are urged to keep in
touch with this subject and if the op.

in small way at first. I do not have
figures at hand as to the cost in the
case of either the paraffin or the coal

might be a factor directly influencing

DRUGS INJURE DAIRY

The use of drugs with the idea of in.

was found that drugs decreased rather
than increased the fat production.
: Such drugs as alcohol. castor oil,
pituitrin, alOes magnesium sulphate,
nux vOmica and sodium chloride were
tried and in all cases they were dctri-
mental to the cows. All cows used were
IN good normal condition at the start of
