Enid, Nov. 1%—That because of the
failure of the Oklahoma broom torn
crop the United States is now in the
throes of a broom corn famine such
as has never been known, that in
Enid the prices have advanced 73
per cent, and that there is here but
a supply on liand ror three months
and no more obtainable, are facts
gleaned from information given out
yesterday by Mr. 8. S. Dumont, man-
ager of the Dumont broom works,
one of the city's chief Industries.
The Enid News, of this city, says:
A representative of the News call-
ed at the office of one of the prom-
inent grocers of the city and asked
him what caused the raise in broom
prices. He said that the wholesal-
ers had made a raise aud he was
only protecting himself to raise also.
A wholesale dealer was seen and he
directed the reporter to Mr. Du-
mont, of the local factory, for com-
plete information on the subject.
"The prices of broom corn,"
spoke Mr. Dumont, "have advanced
75 per cent in the last few months. I
Last fall the corn that now costs
from $190 to $220 a ton could be!
obtained for $.".0 to $70. This of'
their ciops. In Oklahoma and Kan-
sas the hot winds almost entirely
wiped out good crops, and small
acreage is responsible for an insuf-
ficient supply in Illinois.
Statistics show that the annual
consumption of the United States for
one year is from 50,000 to 60,000
tons. The total production for the
year of 1909 from the fields is less
than 10,000 tons, thus showing the
tremendous shortage.
The entire 1909 crop is now sold
and no more corn is obtainable. Mr.
Mumont reports that half of the fac-
tories in the east have already shut
down. The famine is less felt here
because Enid is right in the middle of
the broom corn producing section.

popular; Mother Goose's Haby

"Mother Goose.' "Little Hoy Blue,"
