Clemson College. April 13.-There
seems to be . great deal Of interest
lust now in broomcorn. Col Newman
receives letters daily, asking for
directions for planting. harvesting
and curing the crop. This cores.
pondent asked Col Newman if broom.
corn is an important crop. to which
he replied alt furnishes the world
with brooms." If tho supply of
brooms is increased, the world will
be cleaner and brighter and the peo-
pie happier and healthier. Here are
the leading points az to broomcorn

The plant is non saccharihe 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 Eve
quarts per acre. In Ohio and New
York one bushel of seed will plant
about Is acres, but here bushel will
plant IL acres
The cultivation lie 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 to keep q
good soil mulch.
The main points are the harvesting
and curing As with tobacco. the
price depends chiefly on these two
operations To secure the beet brush
with the greatest elasticity and the
proper green color, the brush should
be harvested just as the seed are

There are various simple devices
