Getting Thin and Broom Corn Markets in 1902 Commentary
An advertisement blends health advice for thinness with Scott's Emulsion and a price outlook for broom corn. It cites profits from broom corn at $50 to $150 per ton, suggests planting practices, and contains a note from farmer John H. Bickett projecting $16 to $16 per acre gains and a plan to raise more broom corn in 1902.
Experience in Raising Broom Corn in Milam County
A farmer recounts shifting from cotton to broom corn after boll weevil appeared in May. He planted twenty acres, noting minimal cultivation cost about 1.50 per acre and about 16.00 per ton for gathering, cutting, hauling, and baling. Despite a poor 1901, he earned more from broom corn than would have from 75 acres of cotton, estimating one ton per three acres at two dollars per acre for cultivation plus marketing costs.
