CANE SEED—TRY growing a patch of Can this year. It will not take a very large patch to produce enough sorghum for the average family. One-fourth acre will produce 15 to 30 gallons of sorghum, depending on sugar content. Sorghum can be used in many ways in baking and cooking and also on the table. Sorghum is one of the most healthful sweets you can eat. Seed can be secured at the various elevators and feed stores or at our mill. Metzger Bros., Fort Jennings, Ohio
