438 SORGHUM, 



It appears that some other arrangement for drying and curing the 

 ears could be devised, so that the sugar in the stalk could be secured. 

 In the case of sweet or sugar corn, which is used for canning, there 

 appears no reason why the stalks should not be utilized, since these 

 stalks retain their content of sugar for weeks after the ears have been 

 plucked. 



It seems that judicious use of these stalks would add greatly to 

 the profits of an industry which has reached very great proportions in- 

 cur country.
