SORGHUM SYRUP
PRODUCTION URGED
U. S. Department of Agriculture Makes
Recommendation for Production
as Relief for the Short
age of Sugar.

AS simple, practical means Of
helping relieve the acute sugar and syr'
up shortage, the United States depart
ment of agriculture recommends the
increased production of sorghum syrup,
which. it Is pointed out, requires mel
ther unusual skill nor expensive equip
ment to make. Furthermore, the meth
DDS of growing sorghum are similar 10
those Of corn and in that respect in
yolye little that is new to many farm
ers. Syrup manufacture is so simple
that it can be carried on with profit by
individuals utilizing small sized outflts
Of daily capacity of loo gallons or
less. Where operations on larger
scale are feasible, community plants
having a daily capacity OF several nun
bred gallons are suggested by the de-
partment.
Sorghum syrup is palatable and
pleasant Favored, and Is an excellent
table syrup. 1t can also be used as
substitute for other syrups or Tor sug-
ar in making certain breads, CAKES,
etc, and as a substitute for part oil
the sugar used in making preserves
and the like. The cost of producing u
al home is relatively low and usually

readily sell any excess over his home
needs to good advantage, Sorghum
syrup produced during the 1919 season
brought the producers from 80 cents
TO $50 gallon, depending on the
quality. marketing conditions, etc
Thus far the supply has fallen far
short of the market demand.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture has prepared a brief summary
Of information regarding the growing
of sorghum, and the equipment neces-
sary to make syrup. A copy OF this
circular may be had by addressing the
