Portland Observer – 4 January 1893
Orange Judd, the widely-known senior editor of the Orange Judd Farmer, 
Chicago, and a pioneer western journalist, died last week.  He was 70 years 
old.  It was he who originated the crop reporting percentage system now used 
by the government and state bureaus.  In 1857 he sent to Europe and imported a 
quantity of sorghum seed and distributed free.  This seed was the foundation 
of the sorghum industry in this country.  The international Sunday school 
lesson was his creation.
