High broom corn prices tempt farmers into a new crop, but experts say the brush plant remains a small, uncertain industry. World demand is limited, with potential supply on 130000 acres, while market risks and handling needs deter widespread adoption.
The Journal of Agriculture notes that overproduction of broom corn yields lower quality and advises thorough business focus. It recommends plowing sod land for corn in late fall to destroy cutworms, improve stand, and promote dry-weather resilience. Beautifying home grounds is urged as a practical and aesthetic benefit.
The Rural New Yorker cites a Farmer section debate on market prices and farm labor shortages as well as plans for public expense killings. It notes 182 000 persons attended New York farmers institute meetings last winter and mentions England's proposal to inspect and euthanize worn out sore city horses.
Local notice presents a price list from The Hershey Laundry Co of Hershey Pennsylvania. Items priced at ten and five cents appear, with charges shown in small type. The fragmentary listing suggests standard laundry rates typical of the era.
