Farmers living in the vicinity
OF Welsh have been agitatiug the
subject of raising broom corn as a
side crop for the rice belt. 1t is
urged that broom corn will do we'll
on land that has been devoted to
rice and that it is peculiarly adap.
ted to our soil and climate.
There is a heavy shortage in the
broom corn crop and brooms have
doubled in price within the last
few months. A broom that cost
a quarter few months ago now
costs fifty cents and dealers pre-
dict that the two.bits broom will
soon cost six bits and finally a dol
lar, within the next few months.
Hot winds in Oklahoma, which
supplies large part'of the out
put, destroyed twO-thlrds of the
crop of 1909. There was a small
acreage in Illinois with a light
yield. The possible tonnage of
the United States for 1909 is pla-
ced at a maximum of 10000 tons.
The normal consumption is about
$4,000 tons. There are 100000
families in the United States that
use brooms, and 10000 tons of
broom corn will make 17,2SO,OOO
brooms, or about one and one
seventh broums to each family. Ii
is probable that the average fami
ly uses three or four brooms a
year. This does not provide
brooms for hotels, restaurants,
stores, railroads, steamboats,, fac
tories aud Offices. Crowley Signal

If we of the west side co-opera-
