crop knows that 1t is dangerous to
allow cattle to eat even a small guam
tity of green sorghum before it has
matured. The wild animals of Africa
are said to avoid sorghum instinctively
while it is young. refusing to eat 1t
until 1t has ripened; but domestic ami
mails in America show no such intu-
ition. No sure remedy for prussic-
acid poisoning has been found. Doses
of glucose (corn sirup) or large guam
titles of milk will prove beneficial If
given In time. Less trouble is expert
enced in the southern states than in
those farther north.
Sorghum yields about equally well
whether planted in close drills or rows
40 inches apart, the department finds;
but the cultivated rows are most de-
pendable in seasons of low rainfall.

OVERCOME CHESTNUT BLIGHT
Hybrid Trees Are Quite Resistant to
Disease and Produce Nuts of
Good Flavor.

Chestnut orchards which have been
practically annihilated by blight of
japanese origin may be restored
through efforts of the United States
Department OF Agriculture. Ten years
experimentation has shown that 1t Is
possible to cross the chinquapin. n
dwarf chestnut, with the japanese
chestnut. which is blight resistant, and
that the hybrid trees thus produced
are quite resistant to the disease and
Held nuts of good flavor and quality.

ness. To determine which is the more
profitable 1t is necessary to consider
many facts, among which are the
power requirements of the farm. the
size OF the power units required, the
quality of work to be accomplished,
the displacement of one form of power
by the application of another, the total
possible utilization of each form of
power, the comparative cost of opera
tiontwith the different forms of power,
the relation between the kind of power
and the effectiveness of farm labor,
and the effect upon the profits of the
farm as a whole.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has made study of
power units on n number of represent
ative farms with a view to showing
how the various farm operations ere

SORGHUM SHOWS
LARGER ACREAGE
More Than 5000, 900 Acres Uti-
lized in Growing of Crop
in This Country.
MOST EXCELLENT FOR FORAGE
Most Serious Disadvantage as Pasture
or soiIing Crop Is Danger Of Prus-

The growing of sorghum for forage
1918 crop amounted to more than
100000 acres, according to Farmers
Bulletin 115S. just issued by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Most of this acreage was located in
the southeastern states and in the
southern half of the great plains.
Useful Hay Crop.
Sorghum is most useful as a hay
crop in the southern states because of
Its certainty of producing q crop and
on account of the failure of ordinary
hay crops. such as timothy and alfalfa,
In that section. Both the sweet sor-
ghums and the grain sorghums are ex-
cellent silage crops. The department
advises that stockmen in the great
plains area can avoid the loss of thou
sands of cattle by feeding sorghum
silage which has been stored at n small
expense in pit silos.
The principal varieties of the sweet
sorghum, considered from n forage
standpoint, are the Minnesota Amber,
Red Amber, Orange, Sumac, Honey
and Gooseneck. The grain sorghums
most valuable for forage are the Black
hull, Red, Pink and Dwarf kafirs.
One Serious Disadvantage.
The most serious disadvantage in
the use of sorghums as a pasture or
soilIng crop is the danger of prussic-
acid poisoning. Almost every farmer
