 PLANT BROOM CORN

O. R. Weed of the Arizona Broom yesterday requesting the commercial club to encourage the planting of broom corn. The present broom works is composed of both the Glendale and Chandler plants which have been bought up by the present owners and moved to Phoenix. The present ca pacity is from twenty to twenty five dozen brooms per day. The urgent need is for greater acreage in broom A)rn as at present there are only seventy acres in broom corn in the valley The factory will plant it's own corn unless the planters can be interested in the matter, it but much prefers to have the farmers do so. Broom corn for num- beI of years past has averaged S100.00 per ton, and most of the time higher. The Phoenix factory is at present pay ing $24000 per ton for their material which is shipped from St. Louis. This price is very unusual but there is no doubt about the paying quality of the crop.
 Alr Weed states that the cane can be raised much cheaper here than else where because sheds do not have to be built for drying. The air is so dry that the cane cures rapidly and evenly.
 The factory will see that farmers get good seed for planting, and in case any one desires to put in this crop he is urged to write and so inform MT Weed. He stated also that in case of d surplus acreage he could aid materially in marketing the surplusage at good profit to the producer. There is d very active market on the Pacific coast.

RAIN DAMAGES HAY

The rains of Thursday and Thursday night were very damaging to the pres ent hay crop. It is estimated that at least two thousand tons of hay had been cut and were lying on the ground While this hay is not spoiled for home consumption, it will be unstable. This hits d great many many farmers rather hard as this hay crop meant the first crop money since last fall and much of the hay had been contracted. At the present price per ton there is a nice profit to the grower. However what is one mans trouble is another mans joy and the desert rancherS will be greatly benefited by the rainfall

WILL COMPLETE ROAD WORK

Q. S. Stapley and Hugh Dana who have the contract for the caliche plac- ing on the Mesa Tempe road state that they will go right on with the work as they have sufficient teams to finish up. Their claims is that the price of sixty cents was when the hauling had to be over the greater distance toward the west end of the road and that with the much shorter haul, the cut of ten cents per yard is justifiable.
