Amsterdam. n. Y. June 4.-The dis
patches sent over the press wires to
the effect that the acreage in Illinois
broom corn was cut in TWO was prob
ably made in the Office at the time
the message was sent not q third OF the
Central Illinois farmers had put their
seed in the ground. TAe average week
for the planting of corn in the Central
illinois belt is from May 2Sth to June
4th. and more than seventy per cent of
the seed is put IN the ground between
those two dates.
Wire reports from Wickita are to
the effect that Kansas win have the
same amount OF acreage, crop condi-
tions not yet far enough advanced in
season for forecast.
The usual policy Of the purchaser
is being carried out in the new state.
Every dealer understands the short
grass country of Oklahoma can under
nothing short of irrigation raise the
long brush which has always and must
always bring the top price The Indian
Territory will raise about the same
quality OF brush as the Illinois fields
off from the rich black prairies-more
Ike the valleys Of Tennessee.
The Oklahoma brush from the short
grass region, II mixed with the short
brush from Illinois field brings more
money than If shipped separate. and
for that reason the buyers generally
mix. But the short brush can only
be used for a few purposes, and efforts
to make the brush longer have so far
proved unavailing.
