Book Description
Excerpt from Winter Wheat and Sorghum Production in the Southern Great Plains Under Limited Rainfall The crop failures and the spectacular dust storms that have ravaged the Great Plains during the last few years have focused public atten tion on the region and have aroused much speculation regarding its future for farming. This attention has been directed most closely to that portion consisting of southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, southeastern Colorado, and part of the Texas Panhandle. It 1s here that some of the worst soil blowing has taken place. Hasty judgment has led to condemnation of the whole area for crop production by some people, and its _no less vigorous support by others. No intensive effort has been made to get at the facts and to determine from past experience what 1s likely to happen m the future. To understand better the present status of agriculture in this area it is necessary to have some knowledge of the changes that have taken place since its settlement.

Book Description
"The most important groups of grain-producing sorghums are kafir and milo. The grain sorghums are of comparatively recent introduction. They are now extensively grown in the southern half of the Great Plains area -- Sorghum grain is feed for stock and food for man. It also may be used in making alcohol. the grain has about 90 percent of the feeding value of corn. It is a profitable feed, therefore, when the price is not more than 90 percent of the price of corn. Where the yield is 10 per cent more than the yield of corn, grain sorghums are as profitable crops to grow as corn. Sorghum grain is relished by all stock and poultry and if of good quality is readily eaten. For human food the meal can be used in every way that corn meal is used, and the grain may be popped like pop corn. The thrashed grain should be thoroughly dry and as clean as possible before it is stored in bins. Broken kernels and dirt pack so closely that they exclude the air and so increase the danger of spoiling. Bins for sorghum grain should be equipped with simple and easily made ventilators. The acreage of grain sorghum is increasing steadily. More of the grain should be used in the section where it is grown." -- p. 2
