Sorghum, Millet, Ribbon Cane, Broom Corn, and 
other plants grouped here, belong to the great family 
of Sorghum grasses, related to Sugar Cane on the 
one hand and to Johnson Grass on the other. The 
saccharine or sweet Sorghums make excellent syrup, 
while the non-saccharine sorghums are wonderful 
crops for making silage and hay, or fodder. They 
flourish in dry weather when other crops fail.

JOHNSON GRASS.—Perennial and has 
cane-like roots, or, more properly, under- 
ground stems, from the size of a goose 
quill to that of the little finger. These 
roots are tender, and hogs are fond of and 
thrive on them in Winter. One to one and 
a half bushels per acre. The leaf, stalk 
and panicle of this grass resemble those of 
other sorghums. It grows on any land 
where corn will grow, and, like the latter, 
the better the land the heavier the crop. 
It should be cut while tender, and then all 
live stock are fond of it, for a few weeks 
are enough to render it So coarse and hard 
that animals refuse it or eat it sparingly. 
When once planted it cannot be eradicated.
