In its efforts to return parti
ally disabled people to productive
industry the state department of
industrial rehabilitation has gone
a long way toward establishing
a new industry for New Mexico-
the manufacturing of household
brooms, an industry which is
carried on in His state almost
exclusively by blind people.
Statestics show the percent-
ace of blind people in New Mex
ico is very large. andwhile there
are few institutions in the Uni
ted States that rank higher than
the New Mexico Institution for
the blind, the facilities for this
institution are confined to young
people. Up to the time the state
department of industrial rehab
ilitation tackled the job there
was no provision made in the
state for training the adult blind
and even with the careful train
ing given in institutions the pro
blem of earning a living which
confronts a blind man or. woman
is a complicated and difficult
one. Reports have pointed out
that the percentage of blind who
leave school directly to enter
remunerative occupations is
very small.
Of the manual occupations
open to people afflicted in this
way, piano tuning, rug weaving
and broom making seem, by
comparisons of government re
ports, to be the only ones that
people become experts in all of
these, but unfortunately, in New
Mexico there is a decided limit
for the market for these services
The demand for piano tuners
here is very small and the Nav
ajo and Chimayo weavers in the
state narrow very materially the
market for the products of the
blind weavers.
Meets Competition
Although the competition in
brooms is very intense, the fact
163,200 are annually used in the
state of New Mexico alone, ac
cording to available stastics, a
local product has a very good
chance of entering the field
Before the state department.
cf industrial rehafilitation be
came interested in broom mak
ing the quality of the brooms
made here varied according to
the individual whims of the
broom makers, a satisfactory
raw material was difficult to
procure, no standard specificat
ions were adhered to, and the
problems of marketing the fin
ished product were many.. Op
erating in many cases, with a
very limited capital broom mak
ers were unable to supply the
wholesalers and jobbers in a
satisfactory manner,' and if they
sold directly to the housewife
they immediately became in dis
grace with the merchants of the
territory.
Careful investigations by the
state brought to light the fact
the blind of New Mexico could
be taught to make brooms which
excelled those that were being
shipped into the state. This is
due to the fact that brooms are
essentially a hand product. The
brooms shipped in from other
states are machine made. There
Í3 something that enters into
broom making a personal sel
ection of the straw and the
judgement of just the right ten
sion on the binding wire that
makes considerable difference in
the balance and life of the broom
D W. Rockey, state supervis
or of industrial rehabititation,
is making an experiment at Al
buquerque that he hopes will de
velope into a partial solution of
the problems confronting the
blind and otherwise disaDiea
broom makers of the state. At
415 north Sixth street is a broom
factory operated by a man who
is partially disabled and who,
in his way, comes under the juris
diction of the state department
under the state s supervision.
He employs and is training a
rapidly growing number of blind
people in the art of broom, mak-
inp. ! !H -i !
Other industriously disabled
people, according to the plans of
Mr. Rockey, win inspect ana mar
ket the product of the factory.
In time all of the broom factor
ies of the state operated by par
tially disabled people-and this
means most of them will be
banded together for mutual ben
efit in the purchasing of raw
materials and the selling of the
finished product.
Brooms Advertised
One of the most serious prob
lems confronting the state board
n their c:Ferir.2nt was the fact
that no rigid standards of manu
facture were adhered to. To
circumvent this difficulty stand
ard specifications were drawn
by experts and a special trade
marked label was provided for
the exclusive use of broom mak
ers living up to these standards,
A statewide campaign of news
paper advertising is planned ' to
acquaint the people of the state
with this label, and to educate
them to its meaning. As the
specifications of the broom to
which it is attached will imprint
ed on the label together with its
guarantee, people will know ex
actly the grade of broom they
M . lUJ IU1U TV U UWTV lVVWlh
m the event that the broom does
not give satisfaction.
"The whole idea," says Mr.
Rockey, "is to bring the work
of these unfortunate people to a
strictly commercial basis, capital
izing the extra earnestness and
conscientiousness of the blind
workers into' producing a quality
article that can gain and hold
the market in the face of legiti
mate competition."
The plan for furthering the
broom industry in New Mexico
includes raising of broom corn
a product which experiments
have shown to be ideally suited
to the climatic condition of the
state. Two varieties are grown
in the United States, the Stand
ard and the Dwarf. The meth
ods of cultivation are similar;
both will grow in New Mexico
with little care oroil prepara
tion. Today, most of the broom corn
used in the United States is ship
ed in from Colorado or Oklahoma
The Oklahoma crop is harvested
in mid-October and the Colorado
crop around the first of October.
Farmers who have experimented
with broom corn in New Mexico
are of the opinion that a New
Mexico crop could be harvested
early in September. This would;
not only make it very valuable,
coming in a month or six weeks
before the present available crop
but would reduce the cost of the
brooms manufactured here, aa-
sisting very materially in com-
peting with- the open market,. ,
Mills here will supply broom
handles as soon as the demand
justifies the purchase of the mil
mg equipment

Affiuquerque Aug. 23: With
the gtroup of strong republican
courxtks in the central and. nor
thern, part of the state practica
lly a unit in his support, advoca
tes, of Judge Stephen B. Davis of
Las, Vegas foir the repuMcaai
ted on the first ballot in the con-
ventian which meets in this; ci
ty September 7. They base: this
forecast upon a count of county
delegations in which they inclu
de Union, Colfax San Migrad,
Mora, Guadalupe, De Baca, Tor
rance, Bernaffio, Sandoval; Mc
Kinley, Taos, Rio Arriba, and
San Juan counties. Valencia. Co
unty they agree will probably go
to Herbert B. Holt, while Socor
ro and Santa Fe counties are
.admitted to be fighting ground
jEven with these three counties
j in daobt the Davis men say tisey
jare able to count more than; 350
votes for the San Miguel county
I man, with 273 required to nomi
I nate. Holt, the only formidable
! opponent for the senatorial no
mination, is making a vigorous
iniSAuai ,aiuyaiu aux will iiavc
a strong following in the conven
tion, headed by his home county
delegation from Dona Ana. Jud
ge Davis will not be able to co
ver the entire state in advance
of the convention His very re
cent resignation from the supre
me court and the more recent
death of tfye mother of Mrs. Da
vis have combined to prevent his
taking any avtive part in the vi
gorous campaign his supporters
are pushing in every county in
;the state.
The rapid spread of. 'republican
sentiment for Davis is an inte
resting call of the office seeking
the man. It is based upon gene
ral knowledge of a sound judge
ment and courage and a demon
strated ability that have freque
ntly served the state and the re
publican party in both official
and unofficial capacities. Up to
the day he presented his resig
nation as a member of the sup
reme court Judges Davis had not.
consented to become a candidate
for the nomination, yet the an
nouncement of his candidacy
found practically all of the nor
thern counties in which he ia
hest known, a unit in his' favor.
One of the stronst argume
nts in favor of Davis for senator,
his supporters point out, is the
fact that his home county of San
Miguel is also the home of Sena
tor Jones the probable democra
tic nominee. Jones, running
against a Republican from any
other county in the state, it is
asserted!, would cut deeply into
the republican majority in San
Miguel county. Davis, they
claim will carry that county by
a majority that will break all re
cords. His personal following in
Mora, Colfax and Union counties
where republican majorities in
recent years .have been all or
wholly missing, is. such as to in
sure, his success in those counties
