CHARGES TosBE INVESTIGATED.
Committee appointed to Investigate
Change of Text Books.

So much discomfort has been
aroused throughout the state regard
ing the recent change Of text books,
that the state board of education has
appointed committee to make an
investigation as to whether there is
ground for the charges Of graft and
error that have been made against
the committee that brought the CHI nge.
Supt. Harris, together with Institute
conductor Allemen and DR.. T.. D.
Weber, have assumed responsibility
for the change and Supt, Harris, as
spokesman for the cOmmitte, declares
that if the charges are substantlated,
the three educators named are not
fitted for the responsible position they
are now holding. We not only agree
with Supt. Harris that if the charge
of graft can be substantiated then the
gentlemen in question are not tit for
the important position they occupy,
but we 90 one further and are of the
opinion that even if it is shown as
we believe it will be that neither OF the
gentlemen profted a single penny by
the change, they are still unworthy the
confidence placed in them unless they
are able to furnish better reasons than
have yet been advanced for a whole
sale change of hooks that has been a
grevious burden to the people to
bear.

GIG MONEY IN BROOM CORN.
Cost Of Production Small. -.-PrOfit
Enormous.

The Beaumont Enterprise contrib
utes the folloing article on broom
corn culture which will be of interest
to the prospective broom corn raisers
of this section as we'll as for the Texas
farmers.
THE cultivation of broom corn Is
attracting considerable attention and
it is probable that there will be a con-
siderable area planted in this section
his year, but that the planting will
not be up to the opportunities offered.
1t is q fact that at present prices
broom corn will bring higher returns
on the land cultivated and the money
and labor expenditure than rice is
bringing, and in fact it is the one
thing that now opens the way to
fortune in agriculture IN this country
this year. Broom corn is bringing
$3.50 ton +. o. b. the stations in the
market towns of Oklahoma at present
and is rising in value every day.
This section can sew and harvest
broom corn and reach the market
from forty-fye to sixty days before
any other section that can grow it
can get tC the market, so that every
acre cultivated in this section this
year will reach the market with the
highest prices in history prevailing.
Nor is this all The market price Of
broom corn has been mounting up in
recent years until it has eliminated
in the sbulously high prices now
prevalent, and it will take several
years for the market to readjust itself
to the old basis, if it ever does, which
is doubted by many connected with
the business.
Broom corn seed is worth IS to $40
bushel, having advanced with the
price of corn, but one bushel will
plant eight acres, so that the cost is
only dollar al acre, or little more
for seed. The labor of blowing,
sowing and harvesting will cost about
ten dollars an acre in this section,
and half ton or more of good straw
should be realized to the acre, besides
the stalk, which makes valuable fod-
der. At 1925 for the half ton grown
on one acre at total cost of not to
exceed SI2 a margin OF profit on the
crop OF BIB an acre is realized,
which is more than can be made on
any other crops that can be grown
in this section. These figures are
isupplied by buying concern which
agrees to take al the corn that can
be raised in this section and which
proposes TO send the seed here for
distribution, and the figures have
been verified by men who have had
experience in growing broom corn in
other sections in the past. 1t does
not require an especially rich land
and will grow on any land that will
make stand of sorghum or field corn
and on many lands that will not raise
these two varieties of the same family
While it does not like wet feet, yet il
will stand the rainfalls here, and in
fact requires considerable moisture to
make the best crop. 1t was the fine
quality of broom corn raised in this
section and the earliness with which i
reached the market that has attracted
the attention of outsiders.

The biggest crowd that has been in

general verdict that the mules and

no doubt from the prices that cattle
are bringing at sales this fall, but
that the price of stock is advancing
with the improvement in the breeding.
