But he only saw in the pink confu-

fieeting moment of success. And as
his face fell, then hardened into
brightness. instantly she OWNED how

Il might here add that shed
cured brush is preferable, as it
is more tough and durable than
when cured in the open. The
open curing method tends to
make the brush brittle SO that it
will snap when bent in two, and
therefore product of this kind is
bought at a lower figure. |

BROOM CORN.

Last week The News raised
the question of growing broom
corn in this county in connection
with a statement that if grown
here in sufficient quantity. a
broom factory would be installed.
Broom corn was one of the
most interesting subjects before
the Farmers Congress held at
Amarillo last December. Since
then steps have been taken by
the Chamber of Commerce of
that town to get all necessary in
formation on the subject and also
to obtain seed if desired. The
market price of this seed at
present ranges between four and
five dollars per bushel and one
busheI is said to plant twenty
acres.
As stated last week. broom
corn is one of the staple crops Of
