BROOM CORN SHEDS PAY FOB
THEMSELVES THE FIRST
SEASON.
t6y 3. E. vandiver. Lindsay, Okla

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 speciality of broom corn. The
seed should be tested before planting
time, by counting out one-hundred
seeds and planting them in some good
warm place, and see how many OF
them will sprout Ordinarily from
ninety to ninety-flve per cent of the
seed secured from these Illinois
Seedsmen viii terminate.
Now as to the preparation or the
soil prefer breaking the land and
planting with a disc opener to a row
planter. This is the kind we used last
year, and secured very good results
II puts the soil In 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 II is more apt to be drowned out
in the spring. and 1t 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 rot 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 II Is live or six incnes
high. and then should be ploughed
about three times, laying It by when
It is about waist high. My experience
ia on raising Standard corn.
Cutting the corn should commence
right after the bloom begins to fail,
in order TO get the pea green color
and the weight The brush should be
cut hauled and seeded the same day,
and not allow It to become bleached
by the sun. We shed all the corn in
this part OF the country, as the sheds
and Stats will pay for themselves in
one season in the quality OF the brush
Broom corn cared for in 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-
sirable at any price where good nice
brush can be obtained.
Good nice baling and seeding are
essential parts In raising this crop,
as they will raise the value from
$1,000 TO $4,000 more on the ton.

BEST BROOM CORN CHEAPEST

(ey Edward Edwards, Pres. Mohawk
Valley Broom Co., Fonda, N. W


Experience has shown that the best
broomcorn is the cheapest in the long
run, and this grade can only be pro
duced by proper care from the start
to the finish.
In the first place the soil should
be well prepared. and in the second
place. the very best seed should be
obtained, for this is the only way to
insure good stand. In many cases,
inferior seed is planted. the result be
ing an imperfect stand, and the fine.
