Broomcorn Growers
Should Advertise
For Help Needed

For the want of needed help
Baca county will lose this year q
great many thousands cf dollars.
Baca county Is destined to be.
come the hammer broomccrn
county of the west, and plans
for help in harvesting should be
made accordingly.
What the hroomcorn growers
of the county should do next
year is to bold a meeting when
tits known about how the crop
will be. and there raise q fund to
advertise for help wanted - 10
the proper eastern papers. and
probably also in certain weste m
papers.
Broomcorn IS something that.
70 command the best prices,
wants to be pulled at the exact
right time, as failure TO pull al
that time always depreciates the
vaiue-the longer the wait the
greater the depreciation.
BY starting q campaign of ad-

think of taking in the broomcorr
