Ogden Farmer Grows Cane.
K. E. 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.
