72 SORGHUM. 



also is a locked mystery I fall to understand. Also, four years ago I found a 

 head — a clear sprout in the Honduras — entirely different in appearance from it, 

 propagated it, and found its yield and richness in juice second to no other, and 

 its sj'rup freer from the sorghum flavor than any I ever made. I sent General 

 Le Due a specimen of the syrup and seed, and he ordered all the seed I had, 

 about 14 bushels. In his report of the analysis of varieties, he calls it " Link's 

 Hybrid." It grows to good size, stands well, ripens before the Honduras, and 

 I predict for it a high place among varieties.
