Washington July 20 The Bureau of Chemistry and Soils reports new processes for manufacturing sorghum syrup. Scientist Dr H S Paine says improved methods could bring substantial profits to southern farmers as laboratory work progresses.
A scientist described simple new methods to remove tasteless jellies from syrup, control crystallization, and produce lighter color and milder flavor. He noted a 300 percent price gap between low and high grade sorghum and predicted standardization, higher prices, and increased consumption. He urged farmers to request a detailed booklet from the Department of Agriculture. National production valued at 7.17 million dollars last year. Alabama led with 1.469 million. North Carolina ranked second at 990 thousand. Manufacturing remains rural with growers acting as producers and small mills as factories.
High Point and North Carolina records show 1933 life insurance payments totaling 431000 in High Point alone with Charlotte leading NC cities at 924000. Statewide payments reached 40500000, while national totals surpassed 3.46 billion with premium savings and surrender values rising to 2.05 billion.
