Mattoon, April broomcorn Is to have first call of the manufacturers this fall," said a well known Mattoon dealer.

'Here is an order." he continued, "from a southern factory for a car of corn. In it they they have used one car of central stock this season and the rest western stock, but their experience has led them to believe that they will make more money and better brooms if they use all Illinois brush and they will probably do so hereafter." OTHERS THINK SO. Other central dealers were questioned along the same line and nearly all of them said that they had received numerous letters which showed the general tendency of the manufacturers to favor Illinois brush this coming year. Naturally there will be some Increase in the acreage of broomcorn this fall, as everything goes to indicate that it will bring a good price. NO INCREASE.

Yet from present reports the increase Ilinols will not be great and will be for the most part in the southern edge of the district. The fact is admitted that there will be practically no old corn carried over by the dealers to compete with the new crop. This condition is unusual, If not altogether unprecedented ALWAYS PAYS. Broomcorn has never been a failure in this section, and even under ordi- nar.v circumstances it is a pretty fair paying crop As a rule it finds a ready market and brings in a good batch of money in the fall, long before the farmer can expect to realize on his Indian corn. Of course, the farmer may be a little bit piqued because he got only $90 a ton for his crop last fall when prices Tvent soaring later on, but when he sold he knew just as much about the market shortage as the dealer did (which was absolutely and at the same time the very heavy yield of last car made a sale of $90 about tfie greatest source of revenue known on the farm.

MUST BE BIGGER. There is bound to be a good market for broom corn i fall and the trade will need a much bigger acreage than last there will be no old surplus to draw from. FARMS FOB 100,000 POOR SPINSTERS Boston, April suburban farms will be supplied by the state to the 100.000 spinsters in Massachu- etts if the plane of three business and professional women of Boston are carried ut Because of the scarcity of men In the state it is recognized that something must be done to aid this army of women and an organization has been formed for the purpose of winning state aid in securing small tracts of land near large cities where women can engage in profitable agricultural enterprises. The Women's Massachusetts Homestead association plans to encourage the 'many thousands of women "of all ages who forced to struggle to gain a llvllhood to raise flowers, herbs, plants, mushrooms, strawberries, vegetables, squabs, chickens, bees, and pigs. WANT ACRE LOTS GIVEN.

To achieve this end. the association wants the commonwealth to buy tracts of land wherever available, divide It into acre lots, and then through a commission supply the women with a share of land If the state Is not willing to furnish the land free, then the association asks that It take a mortgage on the land bought by phllan- it, build cheap and comfortable homes on it, and then furnish the necessary implements to cultivate the soil.
