' "The assertion has often been made
that sorghum grown in arid regions
produced syrup of a poor quality due
to excessive mineral salts. Recently
a sample of sorghum syrup of appar
ently good quality prepared from cane
grown near Yuma was examined in
this laboratory. In the accompanying
table a comparison is made of the
Yuma product with analyses reported
in Wollf's Aschenanalysen and Wiley's
Foods and Their Adulteration. The
Arizona syrup contains less than half
as much mineral matter as Wiley's
example, although it apepars to be
about the same concentration. It con
tains only a little more mineral mat
ter than the average given for raw
sorghum sugar according to Wollf and
very much less than the molasses from
raw sugar. We presume the .samples
reported by Wollf and by Wiley were
produced in humid climates. One
striking feature of the ash of the Ari
zona syrup compared with Wollf's sam
ple is its relatively high sulphate con
tent and relatively low chloride con
tent." With the results obtained it is sug
gested that sorghum molasses be made
at the Fort Yuma school for shipment
to the many Indian schools throughout
the United States. No doubt this will
develop into a great industry for the
school as it will require many thousand ,
gallons to supply schools of the ser
vice.
ruary 15 and are still going into the
ground at this date, February 25.
The ground should be rich and well
worked before planting and the seed
pieces of the tubers should be placed
in moist soil. Medium sized- eight
ounce seed potatoes cut in four to
six pieces use" about 700 pounds per
acre. Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler,
Early Ohio and Early Rose are the
popular early varieties. In both Yu
ma and Salt River Valleys growers
did well with early potatoes last year.
In Cochise county I talked with a
number of growers who have done'
well with early and double crop po
tatoes. B. O. Payne at Cochise se
cured about 150 bushels per acre on
his first planting of Bliss Triumph and
followed with about the same yield
as a second planUng upon the same
ground.
Mortensen Brothers at Duncan in j
Greenlee county plant their first crop I
of Bliss Triumph about March 1 and
dig the first crop about August 1. This
year the second crop yielded eight
tons of potatoes upon one and three
fourth acres. E. P. TAYLOR.

EARLY POTATOES.
The early Irish potato crop is one
that deserves more general planting
in Southern Arizona. The early sea
son at which the planting may be
done insures early digging in time for
a fall crop. Although the price of
early seed potatoes is high one may
be reasonably sure of high prices for
the new crop from all appearances and
if the yield is good the early crop will
pay very well.
Some early potatoes were planted
in the Yuma and Salt River Valleys
as early as January 15 and a consid
erable number had been planted by
February 1 to 10.
