PREFACE 



This little book is written in response to a demand 

 for information concerning the culture of broom- 

 corn. 



For this information the author has drawn upon 

 his own experience in growing the crop, and has 

 supplemented this with the recent experience of 

 practical growers and experiment station workers. 



The writer is indebted to Mr. C. P. Hartley of the 

 United States Department of Agriculture and to 

 several experiment stations for photographs and 

 other material used in the preparation of this 

 volume.
