To creatc a firmer and growing
market for grain sorghums, the production
of which has been greatly increased
during the past few years, the
sorghum specialists of the department
k in Farmers' Bulletin No. (?8G, Uses of
* Sorghum Grain, soon to be issued,
urge growers of sorghum to use these
grains more largely in feeding stock.
Since so'^hum grain is a ? feeding
grain, the'authors point out, it is reasonable
to believe that it can be fed
as profitably where grown as elsewhere,
other things being equal, yet
the value of this grain for feeding in
I beef, milk, pork, and egg production
is not fully recognized. As a result,
in some seasons it has been almost a
drug on the market, until the following
spring, when scarcity and increase
in^ price of feeding corn turned attention

sense tho money crop in certain districts,
i< must be readily and profit*
ably convertible into cash. This means
that the surplus must be able to move
freely, at good prices, soon after being
thrashed, it therefore, seems especially
unfortunate that those crops should
bo grown in the midst of tho greatest
stock-producing section of the country,
and yet not to be fed on the farms
where they and tho stock arc grown.
a To reverse the statement, both cattle
for feeding and grain sorghums for
feed are raised extensively in tho
plain area, but the cattle are shipped
out to be fed elsewhere.
In this direction scorns to lie tho
greatest opportunity of expansion
in the use of the grain sorghums. This
is especially true because the farmer
/in growing kafir ami milo commonly
^tises cheaper land, and is close to the
source of cottonseed meal as a protein
concentrate to he added to his sorghum
grain-feeding ration. Moreover,
if he himself is the .feeder, the stock
are fed under milder winter codltions
than those with which the corn-belt
feeder has to deal.
The recent rapid increase in the
Viumber of silos in the States of Oklahoma
and Texas will be a direct aid to
cattlc-feeding operations. The combination
of home-grown silage and feed
ing grain, with readily accessible cottonseed
meal, ought to aid in making
feeding profitable in the grain-sorghum
belt.
Cattle-Feeding Values of Grain Sorg4
hums as Compared with Dent Corn.
To determine the feeding value of
grain sorghums, the chemists of the
department for five years made analy
ses of different grain sorghums grown
at the Amarillo cereal field station at
Arm illo, Tex.
in i i 1 / ii*i n
i\ii trie analyses tor eacn kitki oi
sorghum were averaged and these
wverages are given in the bulletin. A
study of these tables of analyses led
to the following conclusions on the
part of the specialists.
There are no striking differences in
in chemical contents among the differm
ent varieties. The differences from
w year to year in any one variety are
\ , nearly as great as the differences beJ*
tween varieties. However, it is noted
' that feterita is higher in protein content,
lower in fat content, and a little
lower in starch content than is milo,
to which it is most similar. In protein
content it is more like the Blackhull
kafirs, though having less fat than
these.
The milos and Blackhull kafirs are
the staple grain-sorghum crops. When
those are directly compared it is seen

tnai me Kaurs nave more protein ano
loss stftrch than the milos, with about
the same quantities of fat. The analy
ses of shallu are not numerous enough
to be conclusive. They seem to show,
however, that it is relatively high in
protein and fat and comparatively low
& starch.
rghum Grain Compared With Corn.
To compare the feeding value or
sorghum grain with dent corn, the
chemists analyzed samples of dent
corn grown in different years, in different
States,, and these results,
which included a number of varieties.

also somewhat lower. Since fr.t is

this shows corn to be distinctly richer
! in carbohydrate, or starchy matter.
and the sorghums definitely better in
protein content.
As the digestibility in feeding grain '
is a very important feature, this phase I
also was investigated with the follow,
ing conclusions.
r.-. .i ..n a. i*.
111 (icm-iai, tin int* rexuiis agree in
1 showing that the starch of the sorghum
grains is less digestible than that
of corh. It is found that this difference
averages about 10 per cent. In
other words the sorghum grains have
i about 90 per cent, of the feeding value
! of corn. In the early experiments a
j difference considerably greater than
! 10 per cent sometimes was recorded,
j Later experiments tend to show that
; the difference really is not so large or
j this figure.
Let 10 per cent be allowed as a fair
! average of the differenc in value. The
i grain sorghums are shown still to be
! profitable feeding grains when the
i price is not more than 90 per cent, of
the price of corn of the same grade.
Palatability.
There seems no need for discussion
of palatability. Stock and poultry of
j all kinds eat the sorghum grains read- j
ily when they are of r*ood quality.
Moldy or wormy heads or musty and
weeviled grain will not be palatable
j any more than corn, oats, or barley in
I the same condition. Owing to the
hardness of the kernels, i.t is always
! desirable to grind or chop them for
feeding.
