NOT SUGAR CANE. Caaa SaM So The luaaoa Reek no called ‘Texas seeded ribbon ' In which southern fanners are takine much intereet of late, is tbeaub- of a letter from Profeeaor C. R. Ball of Washington, agroetologlat of the department of agiicultnre, to Tex as Farm and Ranch, as follows: " During the present season a careful Investigation has been made of tbe va riety of sorghum which haa been called Texas seeded ribbon cane'’ It baa been grown at several places In the f sorghum belt and carefully observed at other points. There haa never been any doubt that It was a true sorghum and not a seed producing variety of' ribbon cane or sugar cane. But tbe Study of It in’the field has cleared up Its identity in a moat gratifying, though rather unexpected, manner. There are only three varieties of sweet sorghum commonly grown In the United States. These are tho Amber, Orange and Sumac (Kedtop). ITactl- cally all the others are forms of one of these three. None of these have tho heads hanging down or “goose necked.” The bends of the so called “seeded rib bon cane" are nearly all pose necked Where the cane is sown, thinly enough to develop normally. The shape of the head, the size and shape of the seed and tbe glumes (bulla) are also differ ent from those of Amber, Orange and Sumac sorghums. 600nr* Reek Snrirhntn • Local Variety. There is still grown^locally in some parts of the south a variety of sor ghum which is called goose neck be cause of Its pendent heads. It la a large and very sweet sorghum and has been grown for many years. Some farmers say It was grown fully thirty years ago lu their neighborhoods. The similar appearance of the hegds of tbla goose neck sorghum from North Caro lina and of “seeded ribbon cane” from Texas awakened a suspicion of their Identity. This season the two were grown side by side on the Arlington • experimental farm and found to be the same in every particular except that tbe goose neck lacked a few Inches of being as tall as the Texas plants. They had the sume stout stems, considerably reddened near the ground; the same heavy heads, largely goose necked; the c aame broad, thick seeds and dark hulls. Lastly they both possessed the same abundant and very sweet Juice. They are the same Variety In all respects. The sorghum variety which has been called “Texas seeded ribbon cane” should therefore be henceforth called goose neck sorghum, the older and very much better name. cur.a tne farms having more valuable crops and receiving high cul ture. Everywhere la revealed a more Intelligent agriculture. Farmers are Improving their cultural methods and changing from lesa to more profitable crops. Other causes for higher values are better buildings, better fences, tile draining, new facilities for transporta tion, more railroads and better wagon roads. „. HEBE AND THERE • % m Yt> FARM WEALTH.

The capital of these bunks has come from the farm ers. The Increase of bank deposits in agricultural states Is most extraordi nary.
