BUYER PAYS S100 PER TON FOR ENTIRE 1871 CROP
This Price is Above Market Price in Dallas Mr. Spikes Saws
Lubbock Straw Best he has Seen for Years-Grea
Future for This Country Broom Corn

At various times during the
past two years the Avalanche
has contained articles written by
ourselves and others with regard
10 the culture of broom corn,
each article being produced for
the sole reason of stimulating
the pulse of the farmers Of this
section and TO awake them 10
the realization of the fact that
this is one of the big money
crops Of the country This
year there has been considerable
acreage planted, and the yield
as a rule has been excellent, and
the straw Of fine quality.
This week, Mr. Spikes, repre-
senting the firm Of Spikes
Brothers. Of Dallas, who have
one Of the largest broom manu-
featuring plants in that city,
and who have been dealing in
broom corn most all their lives,
was here this week. and was
taken to the various farms
where the broom corn was being
gathered for the purpose Of
buying a stock for his factory.
an as a result he has purchased
several tons of the Lubbock
county products.

OvertOn farm west of Lubbock,

this year sold his entire crop
of broom corn to Mr.. Spikes at
500 per ton delivered aboard
the cars at Lubbock. This price
was a premium over the quoted
prices that day at Dallas, but
Mr.. Spikes made the statement
that this was the best broom
corn straw that he had seen for
years, and that it was superior
TO that raised in Illinois and
Oklahoma, two Of the recognized
broom corn producing states of
the Union. This statement
coming from d man Of the rec
Ognized ability Of Mr.. Spikes
shows up mighty good for this
section and bears out the con-
tention Of the articles referred
10 in the beginning that this
country is ideal for the produc-
ton OF broom corn.
Aside from the straw the raiser
has the seed, and the fodder
left, which is quite a revenue
bearing part Of the crop.
Another feature that figures
in favor of the cultivation Of the
broom corn industry is the fact
that II natures and is ready to
gather before the cotton crop
come in, which makes il conven-
lent for the farmers 10 handle.

Mr.. Whiteiey is of the opinion
that the extra cost Of a refrige-

not very satisfactory. He had
TO include in this car a

did not have time 10 gather them

LIberaIity of Our Merchants
And Appreciate Same

A good index 10 the business
ability and determination of any
city is a mere glance at the home

to convince the most skeptlcal. 1t

Many 5000 and 10000 cities
fall far short of Lubbock's ad-
vertlsing record. Does she lose
mony by advertising? You Just
ask them and see what they say.
AS if to back up their home
record for advertising and to
better prove her worth TO com
pete with any town as trading
post, she has envaded her own
trade territory and that of sister
railroad towns by inserting sub
stantial advertising matter in the
trade territory papers. You We
only to look at the Herald and
Yoakum County News TO prove
this fact, and at the same time
the business men of Lubbock
silently tell you in their adyer-
tising space that they highly
respect your trade by adver-
tising in your home paper. They
might reach you by cheap hand
bills, but they respect the trade
territory and its paper too much
for that kind of business. They
buy space in your home paper
to reciprocate for the trade as
well as for the additional busi-
ness 10 be added for the adyer-
tising.

which was eighteen and one

weighed six and a quarter
pounds. and the others were
smaller, probably from four
pounds down. We consider this

them is barrel making. Ask any big

hollow of his itching palm, Barr had
outlined a course in regard to the fran
chise which satisfied each desire.
In the meantime, Barr had started
his campaign for the control Of the
Suburban Trolley company. The com
pany's capital was twenty million dol
liars, and the stock was selling in the
market at ninety dollars a share, on
the divid ncs of four per cent. paid by
the road. To control the company II
was therefore necessary to obtain
something over one hundred thousand
shares, which at market prices meant
a cost of over nine million dollars.
It was no part OF Bars plan to pay
any such sum for the stock. His care
full investigation of the financial condi
ton of the Suburban convinced him
that the stock could be put down to q
figure where the one hundred thousand
shares should cost little more than
eight million dollars, and of this
amount eighty per cent, or six million
four hundred thousand dollars. could
be borrowed on the stock purchased
He had Promised John that the road
should be bought much cheaper thar
the Urban would have been compelled
to pay, and 1t was a matter of profes
sional pride to even exceed this prom
Use.
The inquiries into the Suburban's af
fairs had disclosed such a decided loss
in earnings through competition of 8
recent extenson of the elevated sys
tenn, that a reduction of the four pei
cent. dividend was inevitable at the ap
preaching dividend meeting Of the di
rectors. This. Of course, would assis
in putting down the stock to seventy

should go. ..5.=
