Discussions by Men Experienced
in Growing This Valuable Crop
BROOM CORN SHEDS PAY FOR
THEMSELVES THE FIRST
SEASON..
(ey B. E. vandiver, Lindsay, okIa.)

The most important feature in rails
ing good broom corn is to secure good
seed, which we secure in this section
from the Illinois Seedsmen, who have
made a specially of broom corn. The
seed should be tested before planting
time, by counting out one-hundred
seeds and plantin, them in some good
warm place, and see how many OF
them will sprout. Ordinarily from
ninety to ninety-five per cent of the
seed secured from these Illinois
Seedsmen will germinate.
Now as to the preparation of the
soil prefer breaking the land and
planting with a disc opener to row
year, and secured very good results.
1t puts the soil in a good seed bed,
and leaves the plants in good con-
dition. To work this way of planting
is excellent for either sod or old land.
Listing is very good way to plant,
but it is more apt to be drowned out
in the spring, and it is more difficult
to obtain uniform stand after the
lister.
Seventy to eighty seeds to the rod
should be planted on good rich soil
but not so many on land that is In
erior. Fifty to sixty Is plenty on
prairie land
The first work on broom corn
should be when it is five or six inches
high, and then should be ploughed
about three times, laying 1t by when
it is about waist high. My experience
is on raising Standard corn.
Cutting the corn should commence
right after the bloom begins to fall
in order to get the pea green color
and the weight. The brush should be
cut, hauled and seed ed the same day.
and not allow it to become bleached
by the sup, We shed all the corn In
this part of the country, as the sheds
and Stats will pay for themselves in
ono season in the quality of the brush.
Broom corn cared for i'll this way sold
for $4,000 per ton, while broom corn
handled and cured in the. open field
was not worth more than $1,000
Poorly handled broom corn is not de-
slrable at any price where good nice
brush can be obtained.
Good nice baling. and seeding are
essential parts in raisi ng this crop
as they Will raise the value from
$1,000 to $4,000 more on the ton.
l have raised broom corn for the
past five years, and IA We received
from $4,000 to s165.OO par ton. while
average cast off cuttings have been
something like $4,000 per ton. While
we raise Standard corn. y ct our pre-
ference is for the Tennessee Ever
green.

THAT is WELL TAKEN
CAFE OF.
(By w. E. NiUinaer, Oklahoma City,
Okiahoma.)

So far as the variety OF broomcorn
there is not much prefere nee, as the
manufacturers, as a rule, are seeking
medium length brush of good color
To those who contemplate planting
broomcorn this year, would advise
that they secure the best seed obtain
able, buying it from some reliable
seed grower or handler of seed, fol
in this way seed can be secured that
has been treated for smut, as This is
one Of the most objectionable FEATURES
