Download or read book Growing Grain Sorghums in the San Antonio District of Texas written by C. R. Letteer and published by . This book was released on 1918 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A shortage of grain feed is a common occurrence on the farms in the San Antonio district of Texas. This results from planting an insufficient acreage of grain crops and from the fact that farmers rely too much upon Indian corn for grain production. Corn produces a relatively small yield per acre under conditions existing in this district and a complete failure of the crop often occurs. A grain crop that is more dependable than corn is urgently needed. Experiments at the San Antonio Field Station during the past eight years indicate the possibility of making grain sorghum a successful crop in that district. Grain sorghum is a much surer crop in unfavorable years than corn, and it yields fully as much feed in favorable years. The principal reason why grain sorghum has not been more extensively planted in this district is its frequent failure to produce grain, due to blasting or sterility. This blasting is caused by a small gnatlike fly, the sorghum midge. The results of the observations and experiments at San Antonio show that by using early varieties and special cultural methods sorghum can be made a dependable grain crop in spite of the midge. The points of special significance to be observed are early seeding and the use of quick-maturing varieties." -- p. 2

Book excerpt: "The proper storage of sweet potatoes is one of the most important food-conservation measures that can be put into effect in the southern states. No perishable product produced in the South is as of great importance as the sweet potato, and none is so poorly handled. This bulletin describes in considerable detail the types of storage houses that have proved successful and the proper method of handling sweet potatoes from harvesting to marketing. For those growers who are not able to build storage houses, directions are given for saving the sweet-potato crop by using outdoor cellars and banks." -- p. 2.
