ers averaged almost one home run q
day for a month, and the scribes and
players were sure he would break all
records for home runs in 1909.
Big league twirlers upset this dope,
and Meyers, trying to kill the ball,
fell an easy victim in 1909, batting far
below $50. Last spring Meyers
changed his style entirely and batter
1856 for the season, which is excellent
hitting for a catcher.

DIFFICULT FOR A BRoOMcoRN
BUYER TO LEAVE A GOOD
CROP.
(ey Mr.. Watkins, Lindsay okls.)

Broomcorn should be either listed or
planted with a two row planter, hav.
ing the ground well prepared, so as to
get a good seed bed, and If a lister
is used, II should not be planted more
than two inches deep, having a press
er behind the lister to pack well so
that It will hold the moisture. If the
press is used the ground should be
broken and well narrowed, and If the
weeds start should be disc-harrowed
to kill them. The ground should be
thoroughly clear before planting, so
that the young plant will out.grow the
weeds and IL Is much easier to keep
clean. The seed should not be planted
over two inches deep, as experience
has shown this is the best depth II you
have any moisture.
For listing broomccrn, a go-devil is
a good thing to use, and then cultivate
several times afterwards, and II plant
ed with two-row lister II should be
cultivated two to three times, or as
many times as is necessary; but be-
lieve that good broomcorn can be
raised with less cultivation than any
other crop.
Cutting should be done when the
plant is in full bloom, as It is hard
to cut It too green, for 1t will have
better color and better weight II not
allowed to get over ripe, which is
more satisfactory to grower and buyer.
Broomcorn should be broke into ia
bles about three feet high, and cut the
same day 1t is tabled, or as soon after
as possible, as It straightens up and
Is hard to cut IL left for a longer time.
In this locality the corn is usually al
lowed to remain in the sun about a
half day and is then hauled and
threshed and put in the shed on
shelves and left there from about three
to six days, according to the weather.
II should then be butted and bulked
down in good shape, and every precau.
tion should be taken to make a good
bale that is even and straight, tight,
and well tied with five wires.

should be planted sometime during
