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,
