Broom-Corn Cultivation.


Broom-corn cultivation in central Illinois hav-
ing been improbable, if not failure. for the
last two or three years, is likely to go out Of
fashion. The experience of the last few years
has demonstrated that the land cannot be con-
tinuously put In broom-corn and yield good
crops. Why it should be SO much more difficult
to suit than corn, oats, grass. wheat. it ia not
easy to understand; but SO it is. After the third
or fourth crop on the same land, some form of
misfortune to il invariably appears-rust, blighr.
worms at the roots, chinch bugs, or another.
Besides, for year or two past, it has been Only
in exceptional cases that that portion left to
stand to mature the seed for the next crop. has
produced grains that could be depended upon to
terminate so fully as to insure good stand.
This fact accounts for the present price of broom
corn seed, which is higher than for years.
In broom-corn cultivation, it is we'll known
that nine-tenths of the entire growth is left on
the land-the only part removed being the seed
pancle. and that In an immature state. In the
spring the stubbie is raked and generally burned,
and occasionally turned under with sixteen OF
twenty-inch suky plow. But whether plowed
into the land or burned the surface, itdoes not
seem to make much difference with succeeding
crops; the same liability to disaster follows after
certain number OF crops have been taken off.
Kansas. on account of its hot and dry summers
and autumns. with little or no rain,
was thought to have monopoly
of broom-corn. Last year the crop
partially failed there, as in Illinois, and thus the
failure all around enabled syndicate to ''cor
nerD the yield, and consequently the price Is up
into the nineties-6 TO cents for crooked and
IL to IL cents for green hard brush--nearly
double tho average for the last ten years The
high price of broom corn seems to be we'll known
to farmers Of the Southern States and craze
on the subject would not be surprising. Cotton,
they say, at present prices, does not pay, and
they seek substitute in broom-corn or castor
oil beans. If advice amounted to anything in
such cases, it would be to go slow, for independ-
ent Of the risks to run, to handle either crop
profitAbiy demands as much previous experience
as cotton, and to prepare for market more care
and as much expenditure.

Get I'm the Seeds and Plants Early

Those wko contemplate setting out vines
should do SO early or as soon as the condition Of
the ground permits Strawberries are very par
tal to a cool season, and delight in plenty of
moisture, and for that reason no time should be
lost in transplanting the runners. Although
many persons prefer to wait until the young
plants have made some growth of leaf in the
spring, yet the best results have been obtained
on sandy soils when the plants placed in
position before the crowns have started. The
young vines OF other fruits may he treated in
the same manner, especially in those sections
where the summer is usually dry, and but q
small proportion Of ram is secured. In few
weeks more the middle of the day will be very
warm, and the earlier the plants can be put out
the better they will endure the heat of the sun
and dry soil.
Seeds of tomatoes egg plants, watermelons,
canteloupes and other plants that are liable to
be injured. may be planted in soil placed in
empty egg shells, and when the proper time
rives may be placed in their positions without
being disturbed from the Shells as they will
break the shells as they grow larger. This
method is an easy and excellent one for securing
few plants for an early supply
Peas kale, radish and lettuce endure slight
frosts, and the seeds may be placed IN the ground
as early as preferred though long periods of wet
weather may cause some Of them to rot. Pars-
ley, beets, carrots and parsnips are hardy, and
the seeds slow In terminating. They cannot be
put In too soon after the ground is ready. as the
grass will destroy the young plants IL it begins
come firmly established. AS soon as they can
be dscerned IN the rows the ground should be
thoroughly cleaned of all weeds and grass ever
If it must be done by hand bur after that is done
the hoe will easily protect them.
Do not be tempted to get such plants as
squash, cucumbers, pumpkins Lima beans, or
string beans in before being satisfied that there
will be no further danger from frosts But the
seeds should be planted before the season be-
comes dry, as favorable start Is very impor-
taut. Where it Ia intended to place such crops
the seed bed should be carefully prepared now
aud the weeds and young grass will be easily de-
stroyed by working over the soil again before
planting the seed. The ground for early crops
should be worked deeply, and then made as fine
as harrow or rake can be used for that purpose
No manure except such as has been thoroughly
rotted should be used as fresh manure may con-
tain tha seeds of weeds Take advantage Of the
spring rains and endeavor to forward the plants
as far as possible before summer.
