It took 6 minutes to start tracking down a suspect after we asked for your help identifying a phone number. Several of you then provided further information which has led us to identify LEVI RODEBUSH as the no-good thief who first stole a bicycle in Yates Center and then acquired a tractor with a hay baler. He stole other items and then traded the tractor out for a truck in western Allen County. Done with his thieving he headed towards home, the Fort Scott area. Deputies picked up his trail near Iola and tracked with him into Bourbon County where he wrecked out and fled.
The Allen County (Kansas) Sheriff’s Office is asking for your assistance in locating this WANTED person. The public should never make any attempt to apprehend or detain any wanted person.
If you have information as to the location of this or any other wanted person, please contact the Allen County Sheriff's Office at 620-365-1400 or Allen County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or download and use the Crime Stoppers P3 Tips App at www.p3tips.com.

Old School: Making sorghum is a hot, sticky job

September/October 1988
Each fall for the past several years, this club has had a fall get-together and festival, on the first weekend in October at Adrian, MO.
As with all growing clubs, one project has come to the front and is an increasing pleasure to watch and be a part of. Your club could also gain from this one's experience.
The project-sorghum molasses- from the field, to the press, to the boiling vat, to the capped jar on the breakfast table. It returns the club at least $1000 each year and is only limited by the available man and woman power. They sell out before it's ever made!
The Adrian club had a very active member and his wife who had moved into town from their farm, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Sexson.
He offered his old sorghum press from the old farm. The club said 'sure, bring it on.' Willis supervised rebuilding the old press, bearing, etc. and putting it on a base for use. He then built a new boiler vat and his family supervised the cooking off required to make molasses.
This all came about during the past three years.
Last summer, to the sorrow of the club, Willis passed away. His family followed in his footsteps and the sorghum cook-off went off as usual, this past October. Plus, the club made a memorial to Willis and mounted it near the sorghum works.
Well done Adrian!
