Tie Athene broom factory has
closed down temporarily, prepara
tory to organizing a $25,000 stock
company to enlarge the plant and
meet the growing demand (or its

tory tellB me that they have made
Into brooms home-grown broom
com for farmers from Oglethorpe,
Oconee and Barrow counties; that
broom com crops can be as suc
cessfully grown in pur section as
anywhere else. Dr. Pirkle of Wal
ton county, last year planted 600
acres in broom com and sold bis
•pntire crop to a factory in the Mid
dle West at a remunerative price.
This Is a pointer for oir farmers.
, Beautiful brooms have been made
from material grown around Ath

how to properly cure it.
When our Athens broom fac
tory is enlarged It will Jurnish a
