accordance with the decree of the
Circuit Court of Kanawha-co recent
ly made. The business done here by
the commission was very light com
pared with that done in some OF

for by the fact that only small

runs through the county, and those
of our citizens who hold the most

Broom corn, agriculturists tell
us, yields on an average one ton 10
the acre. You know without having
to be told that the average yield
per acre for corn is fifty bushels
nubbins and all. Now we do not rec
ommend the leaving off of the corn
crop entirely, for its cultivation Is
very essential; but suppose you nave
ten acres of corn in cultivation this
year: those ten acres might produce
the average of fifty bushels to the
acre, which in good soil and with
favorable climatic conditions would
mean 500 bushels for the ten acres.
Those 500 bushels, if sold for 70
cents a bushel, would bring you
1875. Suppose you had ten acres In
broom corn, that had yielded one
ton to the acre, making ten tons,
which according to the way the new
crop sold last week. which was
from $100 to $3.50 would
have brought you, even at the
minimum price, $1O0 ton, $1,000,
or $62.5O more per acre than your
corn brought; and if you had got
ten the maximum, S1G0 a ton, it
would have brought you $1,000, or
1922 more to the acre than the
corn brought. So you see that forty
acres of broom corn, forty tons, at
$1OO ton would mean $4.OO0.Will
forty acres of corn bring $4.000?-
