INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
60IN6 TO CANADA
Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, Into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left In the
- A -'•termers' hands, a big margin of profit.
Of course there were many farmer*
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand-
some returns. Prom wheat, oats, bar-
ley aud flax marketed to the 1st of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev-
enue of $75,384,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to $101,620,000 or 21 million
dollars In excess of 1910. There was
still In the farmers’ hands at that
time about 95 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-five mil-
lion dollars (allowing for Inferior
grades), besides about 160 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar-
ley and flax, which would run Into sev-
eral million of dollars.
There la a great Inrush of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through-
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
berta. The reports from the Govern-
ment show that during the past year
jP Upwards of 131,000 Americans crossed
the border Into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou-
sand having homesteaded, In fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring, it
Is safe to predict a record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure a copy.

It puts the soil In a good seed ted,
and leaves the,plants in a good con-
dition. To work this way of planting
Is excellent for either sod or old land.
Listing Is a very good way to plant,
but It is more apt to be drowned out
in the spring, and It Is more difficult
to obtain a uniform stand after tlia
lister.
Seventy to eighty seeds to the rod
should be planted on good rich soil
but not so many on land that is In.
erlor. Klfty to sixty Is plenty on
prairie land.
The first work on broom corn
should be when It is five or six Inches
high, and then should be ploughed
about three times, laying It by when
it Is about waist high. My experience
is on raising Standard corn.
Cutting the corn should commence
right after the bloom begins to fall.
In order to get the pea green color
and the weight. The brush should h«
cut, hauled and seeded the same day,
and not allow It to become bleached
by the sun. We shed all the corn In
this part of the country, as the sheds
and Blats will pay for themselves in
one season In the quality of the brush.
Broom corn cared for In this way sold
for $120.00 per ton, while broom corn
handled and cured In the open field
was not worth more than $70.00.
Poorly bandied broom corn is not de-
sirable at any price where good nice
brush can be obtained.
Good nice baling and seeding are
essential parts in raising this crop,
as they will raise the value from
$10.00 to $20.00 more on the ton.
I have raised broom corn for the
past five years, and have received
from $100.00 to $165.00 per ton, while
average cast off cuttings have been
something like $20.00 per ton. While
we raise Standard corn, yet our pre-
ference is for the Tennessee Ever-
green.

(By Herbert P. Gardner, of Gardner
Broom Co., Amsterdam, N. Y.)
Farmers stand In thelg own light
in the way they prepare their broom
corn for market. In the first place,
they are not particular enough with
the seed they select for planting; and
after planting, not enough attention
is paid to cultivation. As a general
rule, later on they are <*releis about
harvesting their broomcorn, and very
often a little of it stands in the field
for quite a long time, with the result
that a lot of red corn is produced.
Very many growers think that any-
thing will do as long as It gets Into
the bale, paying no attention to the
vdry Important matter of seeding and
baling. Here le where they make a
very sad mistake, for broomcorn welll
seeded, handled and baled will bring
from $10.00 to $20.00 more per ton at
all times.
We believe that the Broom manufac-
turers will be willing at all times to
pay the farmers good prices for tbelr
broomcorn If they would be more
careful with It. More attention
should be given by the growers, to
broomcorn seeds, so that their corn
could be properly cured and put In
first class condition, as the extra
price they would get for their corn
would pay for the sheds, and after
wards these same sheds could !>e
used for other purposes, such as stor-
ing machinery, wagons, etc.
BROOM CORN SHEDS PAY FOR
THEMSELVES THE FIRST
SEASON.
(By B. E. Vandiver, Lindsay, Okla.)
The most Important feature in rais-
ing good broom corn Is io secure good
seed, which we secure In this section
from the Illinois Seedsmen, who have
made a specialty of broom corn. The
seed should be tested before planting
time, by counting out one-hundred
eeeds^ind planting them in some good
warm place, and see how many of
them will sprout. Drdlnarly from
ninety to ninety five per cent of the
seed secured from these Illinois
Sscdsinen will germinate.

BE8T BROOM CORN CHEAPEST
FOR MANUFACTURER.
_ t
(By Edward Edwards, Pres., Mohawk
Valley Broom Co., Fonda, N. Y.)
Experience has ghown that the best
broomcorn is the cheapest in the long
run, and this grade can only be pro-
duced by proper care from the start
to the finish.
In the first place the soli should
be well prepared, and in the second
place, the very bggt seed should be
obtained, for this Is the only way to
Insure a good stand. In many cases.
Inferior seed Is planted, the result be
lng an imperfect stand, and .the fine
ness of a crop is only assured when
the crop is of a uniform thickness,
for no one can estimate on the per-
centage of poor seed that will ger-
minate. The length of the fibre can
be regulated in this way, as the thick
er it is planted the shorter the stock
will be and vice-versa the thlner the
longer and coarser the brush will be
As to the most desirable length of
the fibre, wish to say that the.broom
manufacturer Is in the same posi-
tion as the late Abraham Lincoln was
when he was asked the question as
to how long a mans legs should be
and he said, “I think they should be
long enough to reach from his body
to the ground,” and so In the manu-
facturers case to be long enough to
reach from the vRre to the bottom of
theb room for the different else of
brooms It requires corn with an aver-
age of 18-lnches of fibre Brush that
ruLr shorter oi longer does Dot work
>-•* so good an advantage. as the short
corn cannot be streebed and the long-
er corn has to be cut o)f and makee
very expensive fuel.
The curing of the crop Is very Im-
portant, and as the weather Is uncer-
tain I believe that proper sheds should
be erected for the purpose! If broom-
corn is allowed to take a long time
in curing It will be liable to Injure
the corn nhd discolor It. rendering It
• less valuable. Broomcorn that has
once become stained, cannot be restor-
ed to Its original color by any artific-
ial process.
Too much stress cannot be put on
the retaining of the color, as It Is this
t)iat makes the crop valuable, and
the same can be accomplished with
very little extra care.
Poor seeding In the past has result
ed In the big loss to the manufactur-
ers, as the so called broomcorn scrap
ers usually do poor work as much oi
the shorter corn passes through with
out havng the seed removed, and
there Is a tendency to mash the
stalks.
The grower who secures the best
seed possible- and afterwards takes
tiie best possible care of bis crop will
receive a better price, and the ro-
sult will be for the mutual benfit to
both producer and manufacturer
