BROOMCORN

The past week has not been
more eVentful than those preced-
ing, on the Liberal market. but
there has been a raise In price.
Saturday, several bales belonging
to Clyde Contour who lives on
route three northwest of Liberal,
we're brought on the market here
for 5000 per ton. There we're sew
eral other loads Saturday which
brought around $3.50 and $3.50 per
ton. On Monday morning, there
was considerable corn in the mar
ket, a large part of which was
hauled in Sunday. However, the
demand was not so good, and the
price hung around the $3.50 mark.
1t is rumored this Monday morn
ing, that an effort will be made to
depress the market in order to get
in all the contract corn. 1t will
take a strong combination to do
this as long as buyers are so anx-
ious to get the brush. Several
combinations among the buyers
have failed in former years, and it
is possible that the scheme will
fail this year. The contention of
the buyers is that if they have
contracted the corn they ought to
have it. There is, in this. both a
legal and a moral question. The
legal end of it may only be decided
in the courts, and it is difficult to
show that the moral end of it will
ever be solved.

Chas. Summer. president of the
Citizens State Bank, was busy
Tuesday with a hook and truck at
the ware house, helping get rid of
the corn. The warehouses are
overhowing, and every possible
effort is being made to handle the
corn. All the vacant lots in the
vicinity of the warehouses are pill
ed with broomcorn, and more of
it coming in every day.
The BIG 70 ton crop belonging
to William Mason, who lives south

not been made public, but it is un-
derstood that it is over the 500
mark. With the exception of
three tons, this was all 1910

Contract Corn

A great deal of contract corn is
being brought to the market, and
there have been numerous sur
prises in connection with its de-
livery. Last week, a fellow living
in Beaver county came in with a
load of brush which had been sold
to @. D. Gasaway by contract.
He attempted to dispose of it to
another buver. Mr.. Gasaway got
out some legal papers, and attach
ed the corn. He got the corn,
and it is said that the case was
compromised, and will never come
to trial. A number of other far
mers have brought in corn that
was contracted at from $50 to $110
per ton, and have received from
ten to thirty dollars more per ton
than it was contracted for, by de-
liVering it to the buyer who con-
tracted it early in the season.
This seems us to be a pretty fair
way of treating the farmer, pay
ing more for the corn than the
contract called for. The advice of
the buyers is to bring in the con-
tract corn, and they claim that the
farmers will be treated right. The
probabilities are that the farmer
will do about as he pleases, and
will in the end, take the added
profit, or suffer the loss, in case
suit is brought against him and
decided for the plaintiff.
The broomcorn market is very
strong and prices as high as the
record made two years ago, one
sale of one or two bales being at
5000 per ton. The best of good
brush going at about $3.50.
There is q good deal of COM
plant by dealers that their early
contracts, made at one hundred
dollars or less, are being violated
by sellers, and there will prob
ably be a good deal of litigation.
There is no doubt that such con-
tracts made in good faith by buy
ers who do not mislead the sellars
as to the state of the market can
be enforced and substantial dam
ages collected for non-ful6llment.
On the other hand when buyers
too eager to make a good buy
deceive the seller as to the state of
the market and thereby get the
brush at q price much less than
the general sales it is doubtful
whether such contracts could be
enforced.
There are a few buyers who
would deceive the sellers in that
way, and the most of their con-
tracts were made before the mar
ket had developed.
There is much improvement
noted in the condition of brush
delivered this year as compared
with previous seasons and farmers
are to be congratulated on their
better method Of harvesting and
putting it up and the better care
il is given. There is no doubt

G. Wilbur Smith, of Vancouv-
er, B. G. arrived here last week.
and is buying brush for the fac
tories in Canada. He says that
the market there will not be re-
sponsive to the high prices being
paid in the states. Already the
manufacturers there are buving
rice straw from japan, and great
quantities of split bamboo to COM
pete with the high priced brooms.
He say that when brooms retail at
Is cents as in 1909 that they can
make broom of rice straw to re-
tail at 25 cents. He believes also
that that the broom people will
this year again compete with the
manufacturers of bristle brushes.
These reports 90 to show that the
tariff on substitutes for broom
corn is not high enough to pro-
tect the farmer with his corn at
5000. The tariff in the United
States on brOomcorn, as we'll as on
substitutes for broomcorn are al
most nothing-$3 per ton. With
this competition in farm products
it might appear to the average
man that the manufacturers of
wooden and cotton goods should
also have to 90 into competition
in their products, while they are
compelled to pay the high prices
occasioned by the tariff for the
things they are compelled to buy.
A little more of this should turn
out pretty fair lot of Democrats
in this western country.

weather conditions made the crop

uneasy, hurried their buying ord

this rush of order that has caused
the rapid advance in prices in the

1t is a noticeable foot that all of
the corn in this district this year
has been bettey cared for than last
season. This is also showing up
in the price, in which for the first
we are rubbing the Illinois prices.

this is especially true in caring for

pulling, shedding as soon as seed
ed, careful grading, so as put one
quality only in each bale, and put
ting up square slightly bales. Of
course the baling is generally done
by contract, but the farmer should
insist on the best work being done
and very soon those contractors
who do poor work would be weed
ed out and their places filled by
more competent and conscientious
persons. A small seeder should
be owned by each farmer, but if
that cannot be arranged two or
three neighbors could go together
and get one.

1t is stated that a number of
farmers who sold their corn at
a fair price and signed a contract
to deliver at Liberal, by a cer-
tain time, and accepted a check
OF. several dollars per ton as a for
felt, having learned that brush had
advanced, backed out of their deal
and sold the crop to other buyers,
on the ground that they had re-
ceived no money down as a check
is not money. This looks like a
mighty slim excuse. When a man
sells his brush fair and square and
signs a contract and willingly &C
