PRODUCTION OF
SORGHUM URGED
30
> 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 90 Cents to $3.50 Per
Galon--Two Varieties.

A marked Increase In the production
of sorghum sirup Is indicated by re-
ports received by the United States
department Of agriculture, which has
been engaged In n 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 sirup in
the United States was approximately
13,O00,000 gallons. This has increased
steadily until for the past year 1t was
approximately 30,000,000 gallons. The
average yield OF sirup 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
6tt that despite the increasing yields
the demand is still greater than the
supply, as shown-by the price for sirup.

SUMMER SPRAY AIDS APPLES
Iowa Farmers Make Profit Of sto.75

RESULTS IN SAVING
Many Fowls Eliminated From
Missouri FIoCks in 1919,
Forty Per Cent Of Birds In Average
Farm Flock Are Nonproduotive
and Should Be Fsttened and
Sold or Eaten.

In Missouri last year, 73,765 birds
were eliminated from 1893 flocks
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 a saving of approximately
$50, ,16l TO their owners.
In another state, 4Se local leaders
were trained, with the result that T17,-
AIS birds were culled. OF this num-
Der 274.3a9 were found to be nonpro-
ductive.
About 81 per cent of all the poultry
N the country is cared for my women.
For that reason special attention Is

culture and the state colleges, and

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 flock is not
profitable. Forty per cent of the hens
in the average farm flock today are
nonproductive, and should be sold or
eaten. It costs about 50 year to
feed each hen. If she does not produce
more than that amount in eggs she is
Improbable.

SCIENTISTS HELPING
BURBERRY INDUSTRY
New Jersey Grower Obtains
Most Luscious Berries.
Instance OF What Is Being Done Com
merciaIly by Men Who Utilize In
formation Given Out bV De-
partment Of Agriculture.

Luscious blueberries-many of which
are three-fourths Of an inch in diam
eter-that sell for so bushel! Such
Is the product secured by New Jer-
sey grower. whose principal business
has been growing cranberries but who
more recently took up the cultivation
of blueberries. At present he has 20
acres which he planted. In part. with
carefully selected wild blueberry stock
and. in part. with hybrids furnished
by the bureau of plant industry of the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture. Not only are the berries on
this tract of very high quality but the
yield is prolific, the older plants pro-
ducing at the rate of nearly 100 BUSH
els to the acre. The plantation is stu
ated Mt Witesbog, near Browns Mills.
The success of this grower Is but
one instance of what is being done
commercially by men who are utiliz-
Ing the information supplied by the
department OF agriculture scientists.
The latter have made study of blue
berry culture for several years, and
are able to furnish data regarding the
best varieties and the most suitable
soils. OF particular significance Is the
fact that blueberries thrive best on
peat and sand soils, so acid as to be
considered worthless for ordinary ag-
rlculture. Thus through blueberry cul-
ture It is possible TO utilize many tracts
which have been regarded as especial
ly hard ana unpromising.
