POuK BALING OF BHOOM- Cuf-Y
ONE OF THE GREAT.
EST FAULTS.
(By James W. Harris of Entsrp
Broom Works, Chicago, III.)
If the farmer will take more <
and interst in securing the very 1
broomcorn seed, and at harvest t
take the proper precaution to see
the stock is cured and dried and fre-'
from seed and baled securely, he will*
have no trouble In getting a better1
price for his crop than the careless
farmer who disregards all the abov.
Items.
The greatest fault of the broom
corn from Oklahoma to manufacturers
stationed as far east as Chicago, is
the poor baling. A large percentago
of the western broomcorn unloaded
from the tracks at Chicago is In such
a condition that it has to be tied to
bundles before it can be hauled. Tbo
result Is a large loss to the shipper
and the manufacturer, all of which
could be avoided by a little moro
care on the part of the grower.
We are positive that when manu
facturers and their buyers secure corn
lhat will protect tht in from this losa^
the grower would ilnd it financially)
to iiia advantage.
