Conrad, of Ogden, is one of the York county formers who believe it practicable to grow with profit other crops than cot- . ton. His experience has impressed him with the possibility of developing a modest business in the production for home markets of sorghum syrup. Last fall he made a fine grade of table syrup on his farm. Onjy the usual sorghum planted in the upcoumrv principally f6r ''roughness" or forage was used, but the color and flavor of the syrup ! compared well with that made in South Georgia from ribbon cane. Mr. Conrad says an acre of-sorghum should yield 200 gallons of syrup, which ought to be readily salable at f>0 cents the gallon. But it is feasible also, he thinks, to grow ribhon cane in the Piedmont. He says he has seen 400 gallons of syrup produced in his : country from an acre of ribbon cane. ?The State.
