There is again complaint of the
shortage of the broom corn crop
and a further advance in the price
of brooms is announced. Atten-
ton has frequently been called to
the growing demand for broom
corn and the pooft to be derived
from the cultivation Of broom corn
in Texas, and the wonder is that in
the progress of diversified farming
in this state more attention is not
given to an agricultural product of
such primise.
