POOR eALlNG OF BROOM CORN
ONE OF THE GREAT.
EST FAULTS.
(By James W. Harris OF Enterprise
Broom Works, Chicago, ny

II the farmer will take more care
and interest IN securing the very best
broomcorn seed, and at harvest time
take the proper %precaution to see that
the stock is cured and dried aud fres
from seed and baled securely. he VIII
have no trouble in getting a bettes
price for his crop than the careless
farmer who disregards all the sboys
items.
The greatest fault OF the broom
corn from Oklahoma 10 manufacturers
stationed as far east as Chicago, n
the poor baling. A large percentage
OF the western broomcorn unloaded
from the tracks at Chicago is In such
a condition that II has TO be tied fn
bundles before II can be hauled. The
result is a large loss TO the shipper
and the manufacturer. all OF which
could be avoided by a little more
care on the part OF the grower.
We are positive that when manu-
f%acturers and their buyers secure corn
that will protect them from this loss,
the grower would find 1t financially
io his advantage.

PURE BROOM CORN SEED MOST
IMPORTANT.
tBy James Jay, Lindsay, oklshoma.)

Il has been my experience that II
10 much cheaper to buy broom corn
seed from those who make a business
OF raising pure seed, than 1t is to
save II, as broom corn runs Uut very
easily. and IL requires n great deal OF
work to cut out any smut heads when
u Is growing.
One method OF seed testing is TO
test the seed in warm water. but we
have not secured any ineirior seed
nom our seedsmen.
In this country the ground is pre-
pared by listing. same as for Indian
corn, ard Is cultivated as soon as pos
sible, that is. when il gets about foui
inches high, and should be ploughec
as often as possible. chopping out the
big weeds, and afterwards let II ma
ture.
Seventy-five TO one.hundred seeds
Is planted to the rod. This IL deter
mined, however. according 10 the
ground. On rich land. one.hundred
seeds should be planted TO to the rod.
but on fair land only about eighty.
Broom Corn should be cut just as
soon as the bloom is off and seeded as
fast as It is cut Then put in the
shed so that the sun will not be on
II any more than is necessary, as the
sun makes the straw brittle. and
should not be stacked in the field. II
will pay any grower OF broom corn tc
build a shed. for one little rain viii.
will do more damage than the shed
will cost. These observations are the
result OF forty years experience In
broom corn raising.
II ! had not had a broom corn croI
fhis year. ! would not have had any,
thing. as everything else failed that /
had planted.
Would advise shedding broom corr
as soon as It Is cut TO secure a good
Icoior, and don't allow the o to gel
200 far forward before cutting. and
be certain your man takes the boots
OFF. For bailing. the brush should b
Tbutted down good and even before n
goes to the man in the baler. for nc
man a put up a nice bale OF broom
corn without II first being butted
down we'll.
Seeding should DO done every day
but considering the matter OF good
pure broom corn seed, II is the mos,
important factor In raising a crop.
