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.

According to Secretary Wilson In his
•atnniiug up of agricultural matter*
for 1005, one of the moat notable out- j
growth* of savings by farmer* 1* the
great multiplication of small national
banks In recent years. As many as
LftM banks, each with a capital of
less than $50,000, were organized from
March, 1000, to October, 1005. These
were distributed mostly throughout the
south and the north central states In
rural regiomv In the south 633 of
these banks were organized and in the
north central states 702. The capital
of these bunks has come from the farm
ers. The Increase of bank deposits in
agricultural states Is most extraordi
nary. The increase during the year
which ended June 30 In Iowa and
South Dakota was 14.0 per cent, in
Nebraska 13.5 per cent, in Kansas 0.7
par cent and in North Dakota 25' per
cent. During the same time bank de
posits in Mlssachusetts Increased 0.1
per cent But still more remarkable
Is the bank statement for the south
eentiil states. Throughbut the whole
area Of that division the Increase was
22.8 per cent, while the general aver
age Increase for the United States was
