Corn, ,$ Kafir, $ Cane, $ The yield of sorghum seed per acre would indicate alarge acre tonnage, possibly 15 to 18 tons, and pointsthe live stock feeder of that state to the possibilities ingrowing sorghums for silage. The attention of Missou- 70 sorghums: sure money crops rians is called to a later chapter setting forth the feed-ing results obtained from sorghum silage as comparedwith corn. It is worthy of note, too, that the acre value of caneseed exceeds the acre value of corn by $, also the acrevalue of the grain of kaf ir exceeds the acre value of corn. Grain Sorghum Fed Hogs of Decatur County, Kansas, Grazing whileAwaiting Shipment.—City of Oberlin in Background. $ It is apparent that local conditions governed theprice of seed entering into the above figures for bothcane and kafir. It should be observed that in the twenty-nine southeastern counties kafir outyielded corn 16 bush-els per acre, and that in the twenty-three southwesterncounties, just across the line from Kansas, kafir yieldedwithin one-half bushel as much grain per acre as corn. A comparison of the grain yield of kafir with corn andthe known heavier forage tonnage of kafir as comparedwith corn, will give the feeder a good idea of the relativemerits of the two crops in live stock farming. Beyonddoubt there are lands in Missouri on which it will paybetter to grow kafir and cane than it will to grow corn. Nebraska Growing Kafir and Cane. The cane cropis of annually increasing importance in Nebraska. Everycounty in the state, except two, repor
