RAISED BROOM CORN FOR
THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS.
■. —■■ %
(By John R. Snyder, Areola, HI.)
During the past thirty-eight years
the writer has not missed a crop a! j
broom corn. Sometimes seed is r is
ed by myself, and at ‘other times j
secured from reliable seed dealers in !
Illinois.
My method of testing seed is to
take a pan and an old woolen so.
rag of some kind, place in it about
one-hundred seeds, and pour v. rm
water over them, and then pour it o ;
just so as iu keep the covering wet.
The seed will* sprout in from t wo:.; -
four to thirty-su bourn. If they i i
about ail sprout, I plant them, and if
not,*8eod is secured from someone
'else, and tested in the Same v ay u: til
the quality of seed is found that will
just about all*sprout.
Forty to sixty seeds is planted to
the rod, and would prefer not to have
more than fifty, and over sixty cn
the ground, depending however, upon
the nature of the land on which the
broomcorn is to be grown,
j The first breaking is done after tile |
oats is sown, and left lay until after
the Indian corn is planted, then from
Juno first to 18th., according to the
season, the ground is harrowed to
make it smoother so that the disc
will cut even. Should the ground be
run together and hard, it is well to j
single disc, and sometimes double j
disc across the'breaking, then double!
disc the straight way and harrow ;
: until it is in fine shape. After this,!
the planting is none and as a general !
rule the corn comes up with an even (
stand, and continues to grow even. ,
!After getting up, from one to three!
! inches, it should be rolled. This j
makes the ground smooth and level
so that it does not cover up. When
about three to four inches high, an J
eight shovel plow, or what is called I
an "eagle claw plow” is used and very |
'seldom ever plow more than twice.
This year my crop averaged a ton to
three acres, with good brush, with '
only one ploughing. If the ground Is
put in good order and not planted too j
early, two ploug'ings are enough. I:
ploughed too ofren it makes the brush |
grow rough and shorter.
Cutting should begin about the time I
the bloom begins to fall, and should
be hailed in and the seed threshed
off alter it lay: op the table one or
two d«.ys, according Ho the weather.
If the sun is very warm it should not
be allowed to lay on the table very \
long, as it makes the brush very brp*
tie, taking the life out of it. also the
weight: and ccdcr and weight should
be sought after.
The shed is 21x36 feet, ribbed r.n
seven inches apart, with 1x4 inc.. .
strips, using h»-inch pieces S in< he j
long to shelve the brush on.
Brush should be taken right from j
the seeder to the shed, and shelved
up, !ef on the shelf until dry enemy j
to go in bulk, then taken from t!
shelf, bulk down and butted d nv . j
well. By bulking it makes the ora :
bold the weight better, and better and
tighter bale is produced, and it stands
handling and shipping.
As to the variety of seed, we hat •
planted the Tennessee Evergreen i.nt 1
the last two years, when we plank; :
most of the Austrian, as it grows
longer and is a better color. How
ever, think the Tenessee Evergreen
yields the best, and if the weather
conditions are dry enough for tne
brush to head out and to cut and shed,
it is long enough, and just as green.
Forty-five or fifty years ago. *w
used the hand cylinder, and v ere cop
polled to take the boots all of s
we could hold to it. Then the sec
was taken off, and we hardly ever
had any damaged bru-h on r t;
shelves, however, now the major;?
of the growers are in too big a hurry
and leave three-fourths of the In:
on and about half of the seed, an
place it. in the shed too thick, ?:
fore resulting in a lot of dam;; .
brush. If the boots and seeds were
all taken off as they should b© it
would take one-fourth to one-third
less shed room, and the boots and
seeds are what causes broom corn to
beat.
GROUPS OF BROOM CORN.
■Rrorni Corn is divided into two
groups, known as Standard am:
Dwarf. Tht* Standard type grows ■<
a hight of 10 to 12 feet, while ti.
Dwarf variety grows from 4 to 5 feel I
high. There are many varietal name; 1
used by sellers of broom corn seed
but. many of these are simply net.
names applied to old. strains of broom ;
corn and really do not represent va
rieties that ha^e been sufficiently im
proved to deserve special desi i* i
tion. Such names are of no a dis
tance and manufacturers in buying
brush disregard varietal names urn
specify whether Standard or Dwarf is
wanted and the desired length, color
and quality of the brush required for ,
making the desired; grade of broom, i
