Sorghum Seed Galore.

What is no doubt the largest crop of sorghum seed ever harvested in this part of the state was threshed last week on the Iroquois farm for W. H. Pullins. The ave rage yield was near 50 bushels per acre. ' One of the~be6t parts mak ing by careful test 80 bus yielded of seed fodder and all thoroughly cured making 12 to 8001 bs per acre. On account of its large yealds nutritious contents and palitability and Mr. Pullin considers it a valuable stock food an has satisfactories solved the problemof cur ing it. Of the 140 bus threshed it will require 60 bus for seed this year on the farm the balance will not fill orders from other parties.
