PRODUCTION OF
SORGHUM URGED
Keen Demand for Sugar Substi-
tutes Favors Growth of Crop
in Every State.
YIELD STEADILY INCREASING
Inquiries Still Greater Than Supply
Despite High Prices Which Range
From 80 Cents to Sf.50 Per
Gallon-Two Varieties.

Z A marked increase in the production
OF sorghum strip is indicated by re-
ports received by the United States
department of agriculture, whsh has
been engaged in a special campaign
to induce greater production of this
crop because of the keen demand for
sugar substitutes.
Yield Has Increased.
At the beginning of the world war
the annual yield of sorghum strip in
the United States was approximately
13,OO0OO0 gallons. This has increased
steadily until for the past year it was
approximately 3O,O0O.OOO gallons. The
average yield of strip per acre has
been about 100 gallons, but the fact
that this figure can be increased is
indicated by the departments expert
ments. in which more than 400 gallons
per acre have been produced in some
localities.
In urging increased paintings to sor-
ghum the departments experts point
out that despite the increasing yields
the demand is still greater than the
supply. as shown by the price for strip,

RoTTED MANURE PREFERABLE
Its Mechanical Condition Is improved
by Organic Matter Being
Broken Down.

Manure loses much of Its plant food
in the process of rottfng. Its meehan-
ical condition, however, is much Inn
proved. because there is great deal
of the coarse organic matter broken
down. Much of this Will be lost
through decay. and the percentage of
mineral plant food remaining may be
greater per ton of manure in the rot
ted than in the fresh condition. These
facts make rotted manure preferable
for truck crops where quick results
are desired and where large amount
of manure is used, says f. L. Duley of
the University of Missouri college of
agriculture. Too heavy applications
of fresh manure may often burn
plants, especially during dry seasons.
The coarse organic material keeps the
soil open and reduces its capacity TO
retain moisture. However, there is
too much loss of plant food in rottfng
and II Is advisable to apply manure
as soon as possible.

SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Enables Farmer to Grow Regular Crop
and Then Secure Manure Crop
to Pillow Under.

The problem of the farmer has been
to find crop that was a legume to
take the place of clover when it. fails.
With sweet clover ii win be possible to
grow regular crop on the soil and
then secure heavy green manure
crop the same year to pillow under.
Much of the future policy of farming
depends upon a cheap supply of nitro
gen to build up that lost from the soil
by cropping, and no other crop has
given so much promise as the new an
nual sweet clover.

CULLING POOR HENS
RESULTS IN SAVING
Many Fowls Eliminated From
Missouri FIocks in 1919,
Forty Per Cent of Birds in Average
Farm Flock Are Reproductive
and Should Be Fattened and
Sold or Eaten.

In Missouri last year, 1876 birds
were eliminated from 1893 fiocks
which were culled under the super
vision of the home demonstration
agents sent out by the United States
department of agriculture and the
State agricultural college. This re-
suited in saving of approximately
$50, 161 to their owners.
In another state, 4S6 local leaders
were trained, with the result that Ill.,
ATS birds were culled. OF this num-
Der 274.399 were found to be nonprO-
ductive.
About 81 per cent of all the poultry
in the country is cared for my women.
For tbat reason special attention is
given to poultry by the home clubs
supervised by the department of agri-
culture and the state colleges. and
farm women are taught best methods
of poultry selection, breeding, raising,
feeding, housing culling, canning sur
plus birds for home use. preservation
of eggs, and cooperative selling of
poultry products.
Lack of proper culling thus far has
proved to be, in the majority of cases,
the principal reason why a flock is not
profitable. Forty per cent of the hens
in the average farm flock today are
nonproductive. and should be sold or
eaten. 1t costs about 50 year to
feed each hen. If she does not produce
more than that amount in eggs she is
Improbable.

Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Il.-ThousaDds of reports

benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets

EatOnic users know that it stops

really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time. for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the bcdw and of course.
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fne-full of life and pep.
