‘Sorgo” is the name now com-
monly used for the sweeter plants
of the group and "sorghum’’ for
those used mostly for grain pro-
duction. Dr. Brandes brought back
from the highlands of Ethiopia near
the Red Sea 78 double handful sam-
ples of the tall-growing tropical va-
rieties of sorgo. He hopes to use
some of these varieties as they are,
or for their value in breeding with
varieties already growing in this
country.
Dr. Brandes points out that the
Ethiopians do not use these sorgos
as a source of commercial sugar, or
syrup, but grow them largely in
small plots for chewing and for
grain. With this larger assortment
of new plant material brought back
by the scientist, and with the im-
proved plant-breeding techniques
developed in recent years. The
Department feels there is a strong
likelihood of success in getting the
desired high yielding varieties.
If plans work out as Dr. Brand-
es and his assistants* think possible,
yielding varieties of sorgo may well
become an important crop in va-
rious sections of the United States.
None of the sorgo seed brought back
by Dr. Brandes is available for dis-
tribution.

More spices for food seasoning
1 will be available this year, accord-
ing to the War Food Administration,
which says that the improvement
in shipping facilities makes this in-
creased importation possible.
With the exception of a short-
age of black and white pepper,
which were imported before the
almost exclusively from the now Jap
held Dutch East Indies, other spices
will be more plentiful th|n last
year.
Importation of allspice and pi-

Zanzibar and Madagascar, with Zan-
zibar supplying most of our supply,
cinnamon and cassia from China and
Ceylon, with China out of the pic-
ture at present, ginger from Ja-
maica and India and mace and nut-
meg from Grenada in the West In-
dies, have improved greatly.

in India, shipping difficulties make
its use difficult for the general
trade. Sufficient supplies of paper

The first week in April is to be
observed as "Grow More in 1944
Week”. Those who have, or who
can get suitable plants for Victory
their Gardens can join in this observance
by getting out their garden tools,
going to work, preparing the garden
plot for a number one Victory Gar-
den to help lick the Nazis and Japs.
You know, instead of 20 million
gardens we need 22 million this year
and instead of these gardens pro-
ducing eight million tons of food,
they are expected to produce 10
million tons. This not only means
more gardens, but it also means bet-
ter gardens. It means that the 681.-
790 Negro farmers in the country
right down to the last man need
to grow a garden this year and it
means that the 2’4 million Negro
farm families in villages, towns and
cities where land is avialable can
a’so help by growing a garden, be-
cause we’ll need every ounce
I food that can be produced.

In some sections the sunflower
is just a flower that nobody seems
to care much about, but in Florida
and Argentina and many other
areas, the sunflower is an important
plant.
Strong winds often blow across
the Florida peninsula. Sometimes
these winds ruin the bean and oth-
er crops of the truck growers, so
wind-breaks are needed. Of course,
pines skirt the outer reaches of the
farms, forming the first line of de-
fense. but it’s the sunflowers that
stand like sentinels close by in the
fields guarding these crops against
the wind.
In Argentina, the sunflower Is
ho'-nmin'? an Imnortant source for
edible oils. Within a few weeks.
Argentina farmers will begin harv-
esting a record sunflowerseed cron
esF’mnted at between 1.100.000 and
1.390,000 short tons. S"nflowerseed
also provides an excellen feed for
