RAISING BROOMCORN.

Clemson College. April 13.-There
seems to be a great deal of interest
lust now in broomcorn Col Newman
receives letters daily, asking for
directions for planting. harvesting
aud curing the crop This cores
pondent asked Col Newman if broom.
corn is an important crop, to which
he replied "It furnishes the world
with brooms.' If the supply of
brooms is increased, the world will
be cleaner and brighter and toe peo-
pie happier and healthier. Here are
the leading points as to broomco!n
raising, as given by Col Newman
The plant is non saccbarihe sor-
ghum The preparation, planting
aud cultivation are in general the
same as that necessary for raising
sorghum for syrup On thoroughly
prepared land, plant from two to five
quarts per acre In Ohio and New
York one bushel of seed will pIspt
about Is acres, but here bushel will
plant II acres
The cultivation is easy. The land
should be we'll fertilized, and the
seed put in rather shallow. The
cultivation is like that for corn or
sorghum. 1t should be kept clean,
and should have shallow cultivation
after each rain in order 10 keep a
good soil mulch.
The main points are the harvesting
and curing As with tobacco, the
price depends chiefly on these two
operations To secure tine best brush
with the greatest elasticity and the
proper green color, the brush should
be harvested just as the seed are
passing from the milk to the dough
stage The old method of "bench.
ing" by bending two rows diagonal
ly across each other, the one thus
supporting the other, ls no longer
used, because it gave a red brittle
brush instead of the elastic green
Eight inches of stalk cut with the
brush is the standard. More stalk
increases the weight, but more than
proportionately reduces the price.
The market demands green
brush, which is secured by curing
in the shade For this purpose,
sheds with movable Slated trays
are necessary Bulking in curing,
Injuries both the strength and the
color of the brush.
There are various simple devices
for stripping the seed. When the
crop is grown on large scale, q
machine like the small grain thresher
with the upper concave left cut is
used When cured and stripped of
seeds the brushes are put up in a
way very similar to that in which
cotton is baed, the packages con-
tanning abou. 600 pounds An acre
properly fertilized and cultivated
will yield 800 or 800 pounds of
clean brush
Southern growers have the advau-
tage Of getting the crop in on a
comparatively bare market, where
the old stock is nearly exhausted
and before the northern crop can
be gotten on the market The State.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.


Columbia. S. c., April 1.-THE
week ending Monday, April l6, 1900,
was cooler than usual, with light frost
on the 18th aud 18th, in the western,
central and northeastern portions, but
neither fruits nor field crops suffered
injury. The ground, however,
remains too cold for favorable germ
ination of seeds.
Rain occurred over the entire State
on the llth and 18th, generally light,
but heavy in places. notably Sum.
merville and vicinity, where 3 20
inches fell on the 18th The rains
were beneficial! and improved wheat
and oats. other grains and pastures,
and rendered ground that had become
hard and baked, fit for cultivation,
but the rain interrupted farm work
over the more westerly counties,
where the ground became 100 wet
to plow until Saturday. Heavy nail
on the 18th damaged coro and fruit
trees in Berkely and Dorchester
Counties. Hail also fell in Yo:k
county
Farm work made favorable progrss,
except over the northwestern por.
tions. In the eastern and central
counties. corn planting, on uplaDas,
is practically finished, and consider
able replanting has been done, made
necessary by poor termination of
seeds, and the ra7ages of cows and
cu, worms, which destroyed stands.
Both crows and cut worms are very
numerous in localities Corn is, on
the whole. coming up to fairly
good stand. A little corn has been
planted in western counties
There was much cotton planted
during the week, and in few places
this work is nearing completion, but
the bulk of the crop remains to be
planted, especially in the more
westerly countiess where lands are
not all prepared, and but little cotton
has been planted.
In Marion County, tobacco trans.
planting was begun, but elsewhere
the plants, in beds, are two small to
set out. and in many localities are
scarce Rice planting continues, but
early planted is coming up slowly
Melons, sugar cane, gardens and
truck need warmer weather. Ship
ments of asparagus are being made,

few localities the peach crop is un-
promising, but generally enough fruit
has set to afford large crop pros

THE STAR BOARDER" A TOP
 NOTCHER

From the Williamsport CPa-) Sun of August 2S: Williamsport play-goers evidently did not know that ''The Star Boarder" was one of the best things in the farce-comedy line ever seen here or they would all have been at the Lycoming opera house last night. There was fair sized audience, and nobody was sorry they went. The show was chock full of clever special ties presented by clever people, the choruses were strong, the musical numbers bright and catchy and the fun was of that quality that becomes epi- demic. Charles H. Boyle, "The Board er,'' is certainly a star, and the others of the company were quite as brilliant. The show was, in fact, a top-notcher.
