I Assyrians Fed
I Grain Sorghums
King 8eunaCherlb, some 2,600'years
ag0( carved on his Assyrian palace a
picture of a (cod crop belug "bogged
down." Today, the agine crop?only
I about 80 yeara old In this couutry and
tirHt called ehlckeiy com"?1b ono of
I (ho baalc feeds of the cotton belt, a
4-rop tltckt baa helped cotton producI
lion move weatward to dry regions
I where other feeds are hard to grow.
This crop la sorghum, now raised
I on about 10.000.000 American acros
yearly. Sorghums include the grain
I sorghum* (such as kalir, milo, hegarl,
I fetcrita and darse) and the sorgos
(sweet sorghums or cane). Texas and
I Oklahoma account for more than half
I of the nation's grain sorghum acreage.
I while the six leading cotton states
I east of the Mississippi more than
doubled their plantings or sorghums
Tor silage, hay and fodder from 1929
I to 1934, census figures show.
Both Grain and sweet sorghums
make excellent fodder and silage
crops. Sweet sorghum hay or fodder
I m lower tn flhar slightly higher
I In protein than prairie hay and more
palatable than corn fodder. Foddei?
from grain sorghum* Including grain,
has about the same value as sweet
I sorghum fodder. The crops give much
more feed value made Into silage than
I as fodder.
I Sorghum grain has a high feeding
I value, resembling corn In composition
and total digestible nutrients. When
properly supplemented with feeds rich
I in protein, calcium and vitamins A
I and D, the grain sorghums are excellent
for all classes of stock. Sorghums
I are commonly fed in many different
forms?threshed, as heads, and as
bundle feed.
I Sorghums, either as grain or roughI
age, and cottonseed meal or cake are
I a popular, efficient combination for
I livestock rations. The richness of
I cottonseed meal and cake In the proI
tein which sorghums lack make them
ideal to supplement thlB feed In raI
tions. Typical uses of these two
southern feeds include:
Beef Cattle?In the finishing ration,
I good results are obtained when yearl*
I lngs and 2-year-olds are fed all the
I sorghum silage they will eat, along
I with five to seven pounds of cottonI
seed meal, dally per head. A simple
I sixty-day fattening ration using grain
sorghum bundles consists of a daily
allowance of 27 pounds of ground
bundles and three pounds of meal for
the first thirty days, with the amount
V of bundles Increased to thirty pounds,
daily per head, for the second thirty
I days. One-tenth of a pound of oyster
I shell flour or ground limestone should
I be fed dally per head.
Dairy Cattle?An excellent grain
sorghum ration for use with low-proI
teln roughage consists of 400 pounds
I of ground grain sorghum heads, 300
I pounds of cottonseed meal, 7 pounds
I of ground limestone, oyster shell flour
I or bone meal and seven pounds of
I salt. With medium-protein roughages,
I use a mixture of 200 pounds of ground
grain sorghum heads, 100 pounds of
ground oats or wheat bran, 100 pounds
of cottonseed meal and four pounds,
^B each, of mineral and salt.
Grain sorghums give excellent re
suits when used with cottonseed meal
I for other classes of stock. Forma In
I which they are commonly fed are as
I ground heads sheep rations; threshI
ed with a half and half mixture of
tankage and cottonseed meal for hogs;
I and as bundle feed or crushed heads
I for work stock. Sorghum grain also
is an economical and efficient feed for
chickens and turkeys.

VICTIM TURNS ON
KIDNAPERS, ROUTS
THEM AND HAS FUN
Aged Farmer, Peeved Over
Previous Experience, Uses
Pipe Effectively.
Chicago.?Kidnapers brought only
joy to a seventy-seven-year-pld
farmer who lives in Lake county,
III., and who denies the general belief
that he is worth $200,000. For
sixty years a rich 350 acre farm,
now within 40 minutes of Chicago by
automobile, has been operated by
the family of George Popp which
now consists of him, his two sons
and his two daughters, one blind.
In addition to this tract, Popp owns
another farm, seven town housss
and a roadhouse building.
Last June 28 three men bound
Popp and his daughter, Laura, thirty-five
years old, to the home made
furniture in their unpainted sixteen
room farmhouse, and compelled
him to disclose the hiding place of
$5,000. Popp had concealed the
money in three different caches because
he didn't trust banks.
Appeals to His Sympathy*
The other day in k khfttt
outfit resembling the uniform 6f a
state policemart knocked at the door
and informed Popp that there had
been a serious highway accident
nearby. When the old man turned
to call his sons, the man in uniform
seized him and started to drag him
toward an automobile.
But Popp is a six footer, athletic
and spry. The fs*c policemen sr.d
two other hoodlums who tumbled
out of the automobile to help him
found they had their hands full.
Popp grabbed a four foot length
of iron pipe and whacked one thug
on the head?a satisfying thump?
jarring loose his rimless spectacles.
At this juncture sons Andrew,
forty-one years old, and Frank, forty-three,
dashed out. Frank carried
a shlllalah and Andrew a shotgun.
The tough city fellows promptly
decided it was time to depart. Andrew
fired at the fleeing ruffians
and knocked off the fake policeman's
uniform cap, bloodstained.
The hoodlums rammed their car
through a fence to get away from
there in a hurry.
Ready for s Repeat.
Since the Popps have no telephone,
it waB some minutes before
the authorities learned about their
little battle. When the sheriff's deputies
arrived they attached importance
to the uniform cap and the
broken glasses. ^
They recalled that it was through
spectacles that police solved - the
murder of little Bobbie Franks by
Nathan Leopold and the late Richard
Loeb. Chicago police took the
uniform cap to a company which
handles such gpods and found that
it was sold three days before to a
couple of men who sought in vain
to buy police caps. The Sort which
the clerk permitted them to take
commonly is worn by postal employees.
The clerk said he might
recognize the customers.
The Popps, certain that their unwanted
callers would pay another
visit, prepared to defend their home.
They barricaded the Old house, left
a big police dog in the yard, loaded
up their firearms, and announced:
"Let them come back!"
The deputies, eager to solve the
two crimes on the Popp farm,'brought
the father, the two sons
and Laura to the Chicago detective
bureau to look at photographs of
criminals.
After looking at all available photographs
at the detective bureau the
four shook their heads and said they
couldn't identify anybody.
His Name Tattooed in
34 Languages and Codes
Marshfleld, Ore.?Claiming to be
the only man in the world who "cannot
be lost," T. D. Rockwell, of
Portland, carries his name tattooed
in thirty-four languages on his legs.
Rockwell said he conceived the idea
of the tattooed names to provide
him identification for cashing checks
no matter' what^ part of the world
he traveled in.
Languages include Russian, Italian,
Spanish, Japanese, as well as
the symbols of the Morse telegraph
code, the Continental code and the
Braille system. Rockwell Baid he
had several Indian languages he
planned to add to his investment?
which, he said, already cost him $50.;
Finds No Bed of Roses
in the Reptile Gardens
, San Antonio, Tex.?It was a chilly
night and seventeen-year-old Herbert
Thompson of Camden, N. J.,
who was en route to Hollywood in
quest of a movie job, was sleepy.
So he climbed a tall board fence
and bedded down in- the heart of
Breckenridge park. Ha awakened'
with a start when something cold
slithered across his body.
Thompson screamed and fainted.
He had chosen a bed in the park's
reptile gardens. Park attendants
untwined several snakes which attracted
by the yout&#: warm body
had entwined themsehres about him.
y. Whipping Costs Eye
Debreczen, Hungary.?Alexander
Boconadi, a farm laborer, paid with
his eye for whipping an ox. While
being whipped the tied animal
Ill Wind Blows Food
to Welfare Families
St. John, N H ? An ill wind
blew some good to hundreds o/
St. John relief families when the
Norwegian freighter Aakre ran
aground on the Brunswick coast
recently. The cargo of 70,000
bushels of potatoes from the crippled
vessel was dumped on the
city docks. Kelief officials were
notified. The city poor soon ap
peared with carts and wheelbarrows
and quickly hauled away a
supply of potatoes to tide them
over the winter months.
BRITISH WOMAN TO
SELL MANOR GHOST
Sh?'? Not Nervous, but He
Makes So Much Noise.
London. ? "Haunted wardrobeadvertiser
will be glad to deliver
same to anybody interested, complete
with ghost, which would also,
no doubt, feel more at home if welcomed.
V
That notice in the classified columns
of a London newspaper has_^
brought to light a stnyige story.
The advertisement was inserted by
Mrs. R. Barclay, of Caterton Manor,
Oxfordshire.
"The wardrobe is a large piece of
furniture in walnut, with four drawers
and mirrors, which I happened
to pick up at a sale three years
ago," she explained. "I paid only
$50 for it because, though it took
my fancy, there was little of artistic
value in it. I put it in a guest room
of my house and thought nothing
more of it.
"Just about three months ago,
however, some friends who were
staying the week-end asked me if I
could account for the strange opening
and shutting of the, wardrobe
drawers which had kept them
awake all night. The noise has
since continued nightly.
"And that is not an. The figure
of an elderly man, dressed in oldfashioned
clothes and wearing a
kind of deer-stalker cap, now walks
downstairs and out of the front door
every evening. I see him myself
by the electric light and have tried
to touch him, but he vanished in
my fingers. I am not psychic, nor
am I nervous, but this wfetched
ghost will make such a noise.
"The trouble ia that I can get no
one to stay at the manor. My staff
gave notice, and my friends decline
week-end invitations."
Paris Youth Seized for
Trying Extortion Racket
Paris.?Imbued with the vicarious
thrills of American gangster movies
and newspaper accounts of kldnapings
and holdups, a sixteenyear-old
French boy returned from
the United States determined to set
himself up in the extortion racket in
France,
Now he is in Sante prison facing
five years of reformatory schooling,
followed by two years' military service
in the French penal battalion.
Young "M" had decided to start
with movie stars. His first attempt
was his last.
Mile. Josette Day, glamorous,
blonde French picture star, one
morning found q penciled note
pushed under her door. The note
demanded 100,000 francs within 24
hours.
"Two sub-machine guns are covering
you," the note warned.
Josette Day kept an appointment
with the writer. So did three plainclothes
men who pounced on "M."
Australian Native Wins
Fight With Crocodile
Sydney.?Millions of film fans
have gasped at the strength and
bravery with which the Tarzan of
the screen fights crocodiles.
Skeptically, however, they have
denied that such things could happen
in the modern world. But they
can, it seems.
When an aboriginal named Charlie
entered the King river near
Wyndham, western Australia, to
catch a baby crocodile for food, he
fought a six-foot one instead, and,
after a 10-minute struggle, threw it
on the bank, where the crocodile
continued the losing fight.
Charlie wrapped stringy bark
round its jaws, tied the back legs to
the tail, and took the crocodile triumphantly
home.
Peg Leg Is Bequeathed
to Settle a $160 Debt
Las Crucesi N. M.?W. N. Wells,
lumber dealer, has a second-hand
wooden leg he would like to sell for
$160.
_ The late Rev. P. N. Roux, of
Tortugas, N. M., was indebted to
Wells _for that^ amount and willed
his artificial leg in a deathbed bequest.
Bank Usher Finds Fortune
Turin, Italy.?Absent-minded customers
have made Antonia Varavelle,
a Turin bank usher, a wealthy
man. Two years he had his first
stroke of luck when he found an
envelope containing $100,000. It was
never claimed.

106 BILLION POUND8
MILK U8ED EACH YEAR
More than 100 billion pounds of
milk Hit) produced HUti consumed in
[ho United States each year. Production
on farms in the United States
In recent years has averaged about
103 billion pounds, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics. In
addition to this "farm" produced milk,
ibout three billions poundB are produced
in areas not classified as
'farms" near cities and villages.
Of the 106-blllion-pound total, more
than thirty billion pounds are conturned
in cities and villages as fluid
tnilk and cream. This "city" consumption
of milk and of cream, in
terniB of its milk equivalent, represents
nearly a third of the total production
each year.
More than half of the total production
each year goes into manufactured
lairy products, such as butter, cheese,
evaporated milk, condensed milk, ice
2ream, malted milk, and so forth. Butter
is the most important manufactured
product. Creamery butter production
alone takes more than thirty
aillion pounds of milk each year, or
approximately a third of the total annual
milk output. Another ten per
cent is used for producing butter on
the farm. Cheese accounts for nearly
bIx per cent of all milk produced each
year, and ice cream for from 3 to 4
per cent.
Farm folks consume an additional
twelve or thirteen billion pounds of
milk annually.
The Bureau reports that in 1936?
the latest year for which figures are
complete?production of milk in the
Jnlted fitste? wk* approximately 825
sounds per person.
