one OF the features that the

Broom corn is becoming more and

According TO 1lr. Glenn. within
a short time every cent that is

right in FL Paso and II Paso

that is needed in broom making
is TO be had here. Broom corn,
from which the straw is obtained
can be raised IN this valley very
successfully, he said. This was
proven last fall by a number OF
the local farmers who planted the
seed supplied by the company.
H Casad who has a ranch near
CauutillO. planted IS acres Of
broom corn last spring, and 1lr.
Glenn said the returns were very
satisfactory and so pleased the
farmer that he has decided this
year TO plant 200 acres OF the corn.
Worth 800 to 500 Ton.
Broom corn at present is worth
from 500 TO S400 per ton. accord
Ing to variety. Mr.. Casad, last
year. raised about 500 pounds Of
the straw 10 the acre. This par
ticular straw was above the aver
age and the highest market price
was paid for it. Next year Mr.
Casad believes he can raise 1000
pounds 10 the acre. Mr. Glenn said
In addition 20 the broom straw,
there Is also considerable feed OBJ
