SORGHUM SYRUP
 AIDS NEBRASKA
 FARMS IN SLUMP
Old Industry Revived By the COrnbelt
 Farmers

Lincoln, Neb. --(uP)--The de- pression has brought about the re- vival of ono of the cornbelt's most nourishing pioneer industries that of making sorghum on the farm.
 Faced with the problem of re- ducing the grocery bills as much as possible in view of low farm produce and grain prices, the farmers have turned to their fields of tall sorghum cane as one method of making lends meet"
 Sorghum mills that, were stored in the hayloft many years ago when the manufactured syrups came on tho market. have been taken apart, cleaned and put to work.
 J. r. Grimm urged farmers who lived about him to plant fields of sorghom cane which he promised to convert into syrup on shares.
 Grimm now is operating his old sorghum mill, converting tons of cane into sorghum for his neigh bors, keeping his share and selling 1t.
 And farmers wives are helping ma way 10 use up the surplus sorghum by canning many fruits with 1t rather than buying sugar.
 Jess Drum and John Withers, near Stella. probably are the states premier sorghum makers Drums father was an expert sor- ghum maker years ago, and tho son Is keeping up the reputation.
 They arc using sorghum mill that has been at work sinco 1862. And here's how they mako their sorghum.
 Juice is crushed from tho stalks of cane by horse power mill. Then the Juice is run into long, Hat pans and heated oven an out door furnace. The juice Is boiled until n rich. golden brown sor- Ehum ia produced. Seventy gal Ions of cane juice will make il gal- Ions of good sorghum. Drum says.

STATE'SLAKES
 ARE DRYING UP

O'NeilI, Neb. .--(UP) )---Lakes in the sandhills region of Nebraska one of tho unique typographical fe atures of the midwest---are dry ing and may soon disappear.
 c. H. Nichols, field representa- tive for the state game. foresta- ton and parks commission, made a survey of the sandhilis where lakes once dotted the barren country in great abundance, and found many wefI-known bodies of water dried up, and others nearly gone.
 Cottonwood, Hagen's Chain, Sunfish and Dimmick lakes---once well known to the sportsmsn and rnnchers of the northern part of the state, are dry. Red Deer, Marsh and Dora lakes have little water.
 A lowering of the water level in western Nebraska and Wyoming, with consequent lowering of the water table in the snndhills, is be- lieved partly responsible. Pump irrigation, too, has reduced the amount of seepago water.
 Governor Charles w. Bryan, who recently visited this area and Inspected the lakes. outlined Q plan which he believes will save some of the lakes.
 Gordon Creek, one of tho many meanderlng streams that cut through the region, could be damned mp, Bryan said. and the impounded water distributed through canals to group of lakes where tho water level now Is low.
 The sandhills not only arc a sportsman's paradise abundant In ducks. geese. prairie chickens, snse hens. grouse. quail and other game, but are we'll known as the heast of the midwest's great cat tie growing area. Millions of head of cattle are grazed on the hill- sides and then fattened in feed- lots for market.

FRANCE READY TO SHIP us.
 CHAMPAGNE
Wine-GrOwers Confident of Prohibition Repeal in Eighteen Months

Paris GU. P.) French wine e-growers are preparing to make Americans "champagne-con- scious."
 Confidently expecting the repeal of prohibition, producers of cham pagne have available one million francs to encourage Americans and others to drink the aristocrat of wines.
 This champagne war fund" has been given by the French Ministry of Agriculture to the Champagne Defense Committee. It will be used not only for educational purposes, but also to check the sales of fake champagnes.
 IS Months Limit
 French wine growers expect an early return to the sales of the pre-Prohibition era when Amer jeans drank moro than Une-ninth of tho bubble water exported. They are convinced that Prohibition will end in less than IS months. Optim- ism is widespread throughout the vine. ard districts.
 Checrfuiness exists despite the drawback that this years wine production falls considerably below the country's needs. Of the b.000,- 900 hectolitres normally required, the crop this year will lack ut least 1000, ,000 hectolitres. Nevertheless the short crop will jump the price of millions of gallons of wines now in storage.
 Growers Rejoicing
 Champagne growers have partic- ular cause for rejoicing in tho formal announcement by the Min istry of Agriculture that 1032 has been good champagne year. Al- though the quantity of this wine will be relatively small, it's marked excellence will tend to bolster the marhet lev T.
 According to M. Hcnrlot, one of the largest champagne winners in the Rheims district, what good wine is bottled by the big firms this year win be of very high quality, but small in quantity"
 Ways and means of exponding the million-frnnc champagne fund to explain the good vintages of champagne wines to the new gen- eration of American and other supposedly untutored imbibers arc to bc discussed this month at q meeting of the Champagne De- fenso Committee in Rheims.
