The extension service isn't advo-
cating that all farmers grow grain
sorghums Instead of corn, although
the two are about equal in feed val-
ue. It is true, however, that demon-
strations have and are showing
these African importations of much
wider adaptability in the state than
was once supposed. Indeed, the
grain sorghums have become the
great Texas feed crop.

There are 100 clowns with the big

cannon; Con Colleano, genius of
