The farmers, who have not yet disposed of their broomporn and who may have a notion of shipping it to some commission house instead of selling it here, should consider carefully whether this would really be a gain to them. The recent experience of Mr. I. Thornburg, a farmer in Stevens county, justifies us in the above remark.

He shipped a little over two tons of broomcorn to Hager St. Louis, One portion of the town set aside for manufacturing plants, with railroad facilities.
