The Rorists' Review 



March 4, 1920 



crop shipments which had been made up 

 to January 20, 1919, for golden, Siberian 

 and broom-corn millet and Sudan grass, 

 slightly less for common millet, and 

 much larger for amber, orange and 

 sumac sorgo. 



Eeports indicated that greater per- 

 centages of new-crop golden, common 

 and broom-corn millet, and smaller per- 

 centages of Siberian millet, amber 

 sorgo, orange sorgo and Sudan grass 

 seed were in growers' hands January 

 20, 1920, than on the same day last year. 



The average prioe paid to growers for 

 1919 crop seed of each of the millets 

 and sorgos is uniformly less than that 

 paid for the 1918 crop. The decreases 

 in prices per hundred pounds paid for 

 1919 crop seed of each are estimated to 

 be as follows: Golden millet, 75 cents; 

 Siberian millet, 55 cents; broom-corn 

 millet, 45 cents; amber sorgo, 25 cents; 

 orange sorgo, 45 cents; sumac sorgo, $1, 

 and Sudan grass, 35 cents.
