RAISE BROOM CORN.

There has perhaps not been a time
the opportunity for making money in
raising broom corn was SO good as it
is at the present time, and while we
do not pretend to be authority on
what crops a farmer should raise, yet
it looks very much as though this is
the proper time for the farmers to
raise good crop of broom corn. Dur
ing the early deveIopmento of the Okla
homa country, and later the Cherokee
strip, there was an immense amount
of broom corn raised and with the
large production of this crop in other
parts OF the country created IA supply
far in excess of the demand. As Il
result of this the price went down SO
low that it was no longer profitable to
raise it. During the last three or
four years the price of corn has rang
ed from So to $50 per ton, which gave
the producer no profit Whatever for
his work of raising the crop, and find
ing other branches of farming more
profitable, the farmer quit raising
broom corn altogether. The supply
was almost entirely cut off, but the
demand was just as great as before,
until now the demand is far in excess
of the supply and the price has in
creased for the last few months until
now the price ranges from 1920 to Sl60
per ton, and broom corn dealers say
that before the new crop can be rails
Ell the warehouses of the country will
be entirely empty and the price for
good corn will be much higher than it
is at present. We know of no crop
that the farmer can make more money
from than raising broom corn at the
present prices, and every Indication
is that the crcp of 1899 will sell for
more than the price to-day. We have
no seed to sell nor do we expect to
speculate in the crop that will be
raised this year, but we believe it will
pay the farmers of Phillips county to
investigate this matter before they
get all of their ground into other
cereals. -Phillipsburg Dispatch.
