GROW BROOM CORN.

The broom factories of this state are having task to get corn to make brooms to supply the de- mand. Broom corn sells at from S25 to $150 per ton and the price, will make brooms sell for fifty cents apiece. It would be nice thing for our farmers to have a good crop for next fall. They can find ready sale for it at Fort Smith. Even if they can make only enough to exchange for brooms for com munity. Every expense saved is money earned and more, because every lesson in economy Is worth ten times the value of the first ex- pence bill saved. In fact, econ omy means to have the expend- itures coming from the other mans pocket into yours. Greenwood Democrat.
