Grain Sorghums Declared Tasty, With High Food
 Value
By FRED BAILEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Aug. 30.-(UP)-The department of agriculture is promot- ing new breakfast food, made from grain sorghums.
 The grains, feterita, kafir and milo are said to compare favorably with corn and wheat cereals in taste and nutritional value. Here tofore, they had been used only for livestock feed.
 Increasing popularity of the new cereal is predicted by the depart ment's food experts. The Farm Security Administration has in- structed its home demonstration agents to introduce it among low income farm families.
 Tests made by the department showed the food value of grain sor- ghums only slightly below corn and wheat. Raw white corn has 1,758 calories per pound while feterita has 1,736. Wheat has 1875 per pound.
 Further Research Planned
 Tn the light of these facts, the Farm Security Administration con- siders itself on safe ground in spon- soring the grain Sorghums as. food, though there are many things we would like to know" an FSA official said.
 The circumstances which prompt ed the FSA to sponsor the new food were largely financial. Grain sor- ghum is the cheapest source of sev- eral food elements. It is grown ex- tensively in the southwest.
 "The grain Sorghums may be used as a breadstuff as well as c breakfast cereal. When finely ground it makes an excellent muff1n," the food experts said. "They have dem- onstrated their qualities in scores of communities.
 Cheaper Than White Flour
 "The grain sorghums constitute breadstuff both more wholesome and less expensive than white flour cuSLOluarlly used, 8 FoA report said. "The flavor is surprise to people who have considered such grains largely as an economy meas ure."
 County management supervisors for the FSA make regular visits to families which have borrowed from the administration making demon strations. They carry along small hand grist mill and a supply of grain.
 They claim thousands of con- verts to the new food. Several cereal manufacturing companies are said to be experimenting with the grain.
 "There is no basis except habit for the usual American preference for corn or wheat bread" Miss Freida Mae Lewright, food expert for the FSA said, "A little experi- menting with whole grain sorghum cereals will add variety to the homemaker's list of dishes"

although he still must remain within 10 miles of his home port while engaged in commercial flying.

It seems incredible that power- less airplane glider can fly-and caz, even gain altitude. The answer lies in rising air currents, caused by warm air or by reflection of the wind from ground objects (hills, ridges, etc.). The glider always drops through the air at a given speed-say, 300 feet minute. If on the other hand, the air itself is rising at speed of 400 or 800 feet a minute, it is obvious that the glider actually is getting higher it is going away from the ground 100 to 200 feet per minute faster than 1t is falling through the air!
