Broom Corn. Broom corn'is usually easily raised. The market 
price of good brush makes its production profitable or unprofitable and 
not the amount which can be produced. The fodder and corn always 
. have a ready home market, but broom corn must be sent out of the 
country. 
Mexican Corn. A flint variety grown in Northern Lincoln, West¬ 
ern Kit Carson, and Central Arapahoe counties. Very rich in protein. 
Some years the ears merely stick out of the ground and the tassels 
may not be more than two feet high. 
There are several other varieties of corn which do well, but they 
are confined to small neighborhoods and we cannot be sure that much 
seed could be had. 
Planting. Planting should be done with a lister drill. Use from 
two to five pounds of seed per acre—according to quality of seed. 
Cultivation. This should be done as long as possible with the har^ 
row. Then follow with the weeder, and if it seems best, with the 
cultivator. Careful and thorough culture must be given. If plant¬ 
ed on sod, it may be planted by a special planter drill. • If planted on 
land broken years ago and left unused during recent years, it will not 
be likely to produce a good crop unless the season is very favorable. 
Time of Planting. May ist to June loth, according to the con¬ 
ditions. Sorghum does not grow much until warm weather, but it 
should be planted while the early moisture is in the ground. 
With up-to-date tools and plenty of horses one man can plant and 
cultivate i6o acres in corn or sorghum. He must use gang listers, 
large harrows and gang weeders in order to do this, but by working 
in this way the cost of producing feed may be reduced considerably. 
The sorghums are as sure to make a paying crop in Eastern Col¬ 
orado as corn is in Eastern Kansas. 
It is the hope of the author that he can help the people to make 
two steers grow in Eastern Colorado “where one grew before.”
