AT the broom manufacturers meet
ing held in Chicago last week, Geo
W. Duvall, of Davenport, Iowa, and
MIR. Bertollette, of Wichita, Kans.
as, presented the question of cam
campaign of publicity relative to
the betterment of broom corn seed
in the southwest. Mr. Duvall stated
that he had been working on the
matter for several years, and be-
lieves that his work has been bring
ing some results, although not as
fast as he had hoped for. Seven to
ten years ago." said Mr.. Duvall,
we used to get long, sleek brush,
the very brush that brings joy to
the heart of the manufacturer Why
don't we get it now? OF course the
weather conditions frequently enter
into the quality conditions of the
corn as was the case this year in Ill
inois. but too much of the trouble
is traceable to poor seed and Kaflr
corn, milo maize and broom corn are
sometimes terribly crossed The
farmer too often goes to his seed
pile for his seed, and there is no uni
formity. Sometimes he plants seed
seventy five per cent OF which will
not terminate, sometimes more and
sometimes less, making in conse-
Quence very uneven stand. Seed
ought to be guaranteed 9S per cent
to terminate. This will only be the
result when the farmers buy the
very best seed"
Mr.. Bertollette referred to the ex-
cellent results accomplished through
the demonstration agricultural trains
many of the western roads were now
running and referred to the manner
In which much of the broom corn
seed is handled stating that he knew
Of 100 bushels of broom corn seed
which one farmer had tried to sell
to Wichita dealer, the seed having
been taken from his trash pile. He
He suggested that many farmers
would appreciate intelligent sugges-
lions on the matter of broom corn
seed and thought a campaign of pub
licity through the local papers of Ok
lahoma and Kansas would do lot
OF good. His idea was to have the
matter prepared by those in a posi-
ton to give the best information and
then have it sterotyped by the West
ern newspaper union and furnished
free to the newspapers, the associa-
ton of manufacturers to pay for the
cost of sterotyped plates which will
be $1.25 per page for each paper
that would accept the service. He
figured that about $50 papers would
accept the service, thereby making
