Dear Sir—We have your favor ask
ing information in regard to broom-
corn, and we reply as follow.-: •
This plant is a variety of ‘•sorghum
and a native of the East Indies. Tho
introduction of this plant is attributed
to Dr. Franklin, who, finding a seed on
a whisk-broom that had boen imported,
planted it, and from this originated tho
culture of “broom corn” in the United
States. The average product of brush
per acre is about 500 pounds. There has
been produced from very fine soil and
locality as high as 1,000 pounds per
acre. As there seems to be no substh
tnte for Lroom-corn brash, there
always a demand for it, and it is a crop
that can be easily cultivated. It is
profitable one for the farmers to raiso
in those sections to which it is well
adapted.
The seed makes a very good feed for
horses when mixed with oats. It is
also a fine food for poultry, after the
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with onr common Indian corn in pro
portion to three bushels of broom-corn
to one of Indian corn, it makes good
food for cattle, bogs or sheep.
Generally speaking, broom-corn grows
best where onr native corn grows be3t,
and the preparation of the land is simi
lar to that for corn. Good riv
branch bottom land is best suited to thiH
plant; but any good land, well drained
will, with barnyard manure or a good
fertilizer, make a good yield. The bet
ter plan is to broadcast the manure,
plow aud harrow the same so as to pul
verize the .soil thoroughly. Piant in the
drills or in hills.
The rows may be from three to four
feet, according to the variety to be
grown; the dwarf varieties in three-feet
rows and the larger varieties in four-
feet rows. The hills may be two or
three feet apart. When the seed are
sound and well ripened two quarts will
be sufficient to plant one acre. Ee sure
to get good seed. Yon can use the seed-
drills that will piant small seed, or if
oniy a few acres are to be planted, you
can plant with the hand. The cultiva
tion is similar to that of corn, only you
have to use more care and skill because
of the smallness of the plant. Thinning
should be done when the plants are two
or three inches high, leaving five or six
in the hill, or if drilled, the stalks
should he left three or four inches apart.
The time of harvesting will depend
upon the use to be made of the crop.
When you plant only for the broom
corn brush, you may cut much earlier
than when the seed is one of the objects
Bought. When the blossoms begin to
fall, you may begin your harvesting,
that is, if the brush is the object sought
The quality of the brush is better whefc
cut on the green order, for the reason
that it makes the straw tough and gives
it a live color, and accordingly com
mands a better price in the market
Before harvesting it is customary to
break down the stalks, turning down
the tops of the stalks of two rows to
wards each other, thus leaving a vacant
place for the laborer to work in cutting.
The stalks are broken about three feet
above the ground, and when the stalks
of two rows are turned towards each
other, the stalks of one row will cross
those of the other in such a manner as
the tops will project about a foot on
each side.
Each two rows are then broken in
the same way until the crop has been
finished. This will leave a space
through which the harvester can pass
in cutting the brush, which is usually
done immediately after the crop is
broken. The dwarf varieties do not re
quire the breaking process, as the stalk
is low and the bunch is not so long and
heavy. Cut the brush so as to leave
only h> or 10 inches of the stalk below it
and no leaves. These should be laid in
small bundles as cut and then fathered
up and placed under shelter. It is best
not to cure it in the sun. Do not allow
any rain to fail on the brash after cut
ting. Cure in the shade, under shelter
if possible. Who extensive crops are
grown special barns are built for this
purpose, with extensive shelving, so
that the air can pass through the brush,
that it may not mold or be damaged.
Where the brush is harvested green the
seed is generally separated from it be
fore curing. This is done with a hand
machine made for the purpose. It can
also be done by the grain threshing ma
chine by holding the head to the cylin
der and not permitting the brush to be
drawn in. The broom corn stalk, when
cut at the proper time, makes a fairly
good coarse forage and compares favor
ably with corn stalk forage.
In preparing the broom corn brush for
market, it can either be baled in the com
mon cotton press or in a press for baling
hay. When the brush is baled in this
way it can be much more easily han
died and marketed. The prices for
same range from 5 cents to 9 cents per
pound, according to quality.
Yours very truly,
State Agricultural Department.

A C0RDIAU INVITATION
ANALYSIS OF COTTON SEED.
Important and Interesting Deduc
tions of State Chemist.
Dovedale, Ga., March 1,1900.
To Commissioner of Agriculture, At
lanta, Ga:
Dear Sir—Will yon kindly tell me
the number of pounds of nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash contained in a
ton of cotton seed, and in a ton of cot
ton seed meal and the price of same per
ton. I want to know if a farmer can
afford to sell seed at 22 cents per pound
and buy meal at $22 per ton and hanl
each 5 miles. Colonel Redding says
“the farmer who uses cotton seed as
fertilizer is acting very much against
his own interest.” I want to do some
figuring for myself. Yours trnly,
J. D. Myricr.
Atlanta, March 3, 1900.
To Mr. J. D. Myrick; Dovedale, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Yonr letter of March 1
received. The state chemist informs
me that a ton of cotton seed on an av
erage contains
62.6 lbs. nitrogen at 13%c per lb §8 34
25.4 lbs. pkos. acid at Z%c per lb 89
23.4 lbs. potash at 4>ic per lb 99
$10 12
Also that a ton of cotton seed meal
contains:
36 lbs. nitrogen at 13);c per lb $18 13
57.6 lbs. phos. acid at 3%c per lb.... 2 02
35.4 lbs. potash at 4%c per lb 1 50
Total valuation $21 65
In other words, a ton of meal is worth
for mannrial value alone $11.53, a ton
more than a ton of seed. At 22 cents
per bushel, counting 67 bushels to a
ton, yonr seed will bring you $14.74
a ton, leaving $4.62, which the manu
facturer has paid you for the oil over
and above the value of the fertilizing
elements, or at the rate of llj^ cents a
gallon for the oil before it is pressed.
The oil has no fertilizing valne what
ever, and in point of fact is a drawback,
retarding the decomposition of the seed
in the soil and rendering the mannrial
matter in them less available. Now if
yon are wise yon will buy meal on that
basis; bny yonr own acid and potash
and mix them according to this formula:
Muriate of potash 20 pounds
Acid phosphate 2S1 pounds
Cottonseed meal 28o pounds
Total 581 pounds
Or if you desire use 100 pounds of kanit
in place of 20 pounds of muriate of pot
ash. Some very successful farmers do
not think that too much to nse per acre;
if yon think it extravagant, nse as much
as your judgment and circumstances
will authorize. Yon would be still wiser
you keep stock to feed the cotton
seed meal to them and carefully save
all the manure, liquid and solid; and
probably the best way to do this is by
penning the cattle on the land to be
manured until you figure that yon have
fed them about 300 pounds of meal per
acre, and then move yonr pen to fresh
ground. Then when you come to plant
this piece of ground in cotton, put on 200
or 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 20
pounds of muriate or (100 pounds kanit)
per acre, the ammonia having already
been put on by the cattle. In this way
you will not lose over 10 per cent of the
fertilizing matter in the meal, and yon
will get all the flesh forming and fat
forming matter of your cottonseed meal
onverted into beef, butter and milk.
Depend upon it my friend, this is the
•royal road” to wealth and prosperity
for the southern farmer, and those who
keep in the “middle of the road” will
get there first and quickest.
