Broom Corn Company
To Increase Acreage
Seed Allotted for 1,500 Acres in
Seaforth District for 1941. -
Start Making Contracts
M, C. Milliken, local h'esident and -
district representative for the Pion-
eer Broom Corn Limited, of London,
has started contracting acreage for
the 1941 crop and has been allotted
seed for 1,500 acres to be produced
in the Seaforth district. The seed 111
all ready for distribution at the 001n -
patty's warehouse, formerly known as
the Canada furniture plant, at Jarvis
and Market streets.
The majority of the 1945 crops
have now been delivered. However.
the warehouse will be open to re-
ceive crops for at least another
month in accommodation to the
growers that have been unable to
deliver their crops nit account of the
bad roads.
Ontario grown broom corn is much
in demand since Canadian markets
have been successfully pioneered and
opened up for the home grown pro-
duct in recent years. Although this
year has been abnormally wet, with
a short season, most of tite growers
agree they cap produce much lenges
brush in a normal year, therefore
having better quality and much
heavier tonnage per acre. The emu--
Pony
om•ptuty ltawh obtained a special variety
of seed for this district, wit leh 111te-
tures about three weeks earlier and
produces a very tine gttulit.y' of broom
corn brush,
