RAISED FINE BROOM CORN.
L. Z. Robinson Introduced Broom Corn
in This Section.

EX- Mayor L. f. Robinson last win.
ter received some broom corn seed
from the north and this spring he
planted small patch in his garden.
Last week he cut and brought stalk
to the Journal Office and sent some
north. From the stalk where the straws
begin to spread to the end measures
80 inches. From our knowledge and
recollection of broom corn this speci-
men is equal, if not superior, to any
that has come under our observation,
and from good authority we are told
this quality of broom corn is valued
at $50 per ton and that our land
around Welsh would produce in the
nelghbOrhOod of three tons to the acre,
but with liberal amount of fertilizer
our land will produce four tons or
more. This looks good to US, and we
hope that number of our farmers
who own high land will take up this
new industry and push it to the extent
OF driving the northern broom from
this section, and let us supply the de-
mand with home production furnish
ed by home people.
II we can produce broom corn at the
rate of two tons to the acre it would
pay some of our rice farmers to engage
In the industry, not only in raising the
corn but 20 SO far as to manufacture
the brooms.
The machinery for a broom factory
IS Of the simplest. 1t consists of 9
seeder which will probably cost So or
800, and the other machinery will
probably cost $50. A 2-horse power
gasoline engine would furnish all the
power necessary for the operation Of
the factory. \ blind man can make
a broom, in fact the larger per cent of
broom ma ers are blind people. Now
let our enterprising citizens get to-
gether and do something for Welsh
and this vicinity. Let them push the
small enterprises, those we can finance
successfully and it will not be long
until the large ones will come to US.
The best town to live in is a town
backed by small factories of every
description. We know of towns noted
for business and thrift, enterprise and
hustle, made so by taking advantage
OF small opportunities and pushing
forward with them The same Oppor-
tunitieS aud advantages We are allow
ing to go by other towns taken up and
make their people famous. We are
not grumbling with our people, for we
have the best people on earth for
energy and enterprise in the rice bust
ness, but what we are after now is to
induce them to diversity. Give part
OF your time and thought to other
things outside of the production OF
rice. If you do not, we prophesy that
next year you will get the hardest fall
you ever received in your life. The
big price you will get this year will
make you 60 wild oyer rice, and next
year you will raise enough to supply
the world and then you will get that
fall that will knock the wind out of
you for five years hence, if not alto
gether. We are taught to prepare for
war in time OF peace Now prepare
for the overproduction next year by
reaching out for something else thai
will safely carry you over should we
prove a true prophet.

merely with the question Of whether

that there was not. This Is a victory

considerable work is being done
this winter on Chicken. Wade and
Walkers Fork, and bar diggings on
