CULTIVATION OF BROOM CORN.

Brooms are getting to be SO high that it
is problem to the consumer Broom
corn is very easy thing to raise the
seed can be had of J. f. Webb without
charge while they last.
Scarlet clover stubble is very good
place to grow same. Plant any time in
June, early in June being best, in rows
4 feet apart, and drop in hills 2 feet apart
in rows. using 200 or 800 pounds of cheap
phosphate to an acre and SOW down the
row. Cultivate when ] to inches high

drag suite best, as you can straddle the
row, go through with a hoe, knocking off
the crust off the row, and thinning out at
the same time to about stalks to the
bill and is very easily done with the hoe.
IN about a week run through with a small /
tooth cultivator. 2 more good cuitivat.
ings using larger teeth so as to bill corn a
little each time and your corn is raised.
When brush is coming out if inclined
to crook 60 through every days and bend
crooked corn down being careful not to
break stalk in bending, as it will stop
the growth of brush. If bent down as soon
as crooked it will straighten, but if left to
long and brush gets dry before bending it
won't straighten. To make good broom
corn it must be straight. In broom corn
districts, where it is grown as a crop for
market, crooked corn is thrown out.
Bending down is a very small job if
done in time.
In cutting make about 3 cuttings, cut 5
stalks from to 10 inches long. Clean as
soon as cut and it will clean and cure much n

By the state board at the request Of the

because local influence had been unavail.
ing IN one OF two Instances to yet proper
fire escapes placed on some Of tie busi.
ness blocks in the city.
For long time the city council worked
with the owners of the Blanchard block
to get them to equip the building with
proper escapes but was totally unable
to get anything satisfactory done, and
few months ago voted to drop IL and
let the state take action. This building,
which is one Of the highest and largest
in the city has no escapes on the out
side Of the building, but after the city
council first took the matter up, the
owners provided sangplsnks to be run
out Of the uTth-story windows onto
the opera house building and the Averili
block This the council thought was
insufficient and Is they could not get
anything better done decided 70 let the
state take ths question up, as has been
