MANY FARMERS TO
GROW BROOM CORN
In THIS SECTION

Among the crops to which the at
tention of the farmers of the Salt
River valley has turned with in
creased interest during the past year
and which will undoubtly prove a
source of steady income to many is
broom corn. which has been shown by
actual experiment not only to be a
remunerative crop but one which in
quality equals or exceeds that of any
other part of the United States. More
than 500 acres were devoted to this
crop during the past season, and it is
considered probably that much more
land will be given over to it this year.
1t has been demonstrated that broom
corn in the Salt River valley will pro-
duce two crops a season with but one
planting, yielding about one and one
fourth tons per acre. The cost of pro-
ducing and harvesting is small, COM
pared with many other crops.
At the present time the market
prices on broom corn range from $50
to $400 ton, according to quality. The
highest standard of both standard and
dwarf broom corn seed obtainable has
been obtained for sale here. With
proper planting and handling it is pro-
ducing an exceptionable grade of corn.
as both soil and climatic conditions for
the product are ideal.
The present supply of broom corn
used in Arizona is practically all i'm
ported from the Lindsey district of
Oklahoma, and the extent of the i'm
portations may be gaugaged from the
fact that one broom concern in Phoenix
brings in more than $4,000 worth of
corn annually.
With the more extensive cultivation
of broom corn it is declared that new
phase of agricultural development in
the valley will begin. While the local
demand would be comparatively tri-
vial, every bale of the corn would find
an immediate demand in outside mar
kets. Another fact in connection with
the growing of this staple is that the
seed has an intrisic value on the mar
kets for planting, or it may be used
as food for poultry and hogs, for which
its worth, especiclly in connection with
ether feeds, has been definitely demon
strated
