Local Man Proposes That A Broom
Industry Be Started In County
Proposes That The Farmers
Raise Broom Corn He’ll
Make Brooms.
W. J. Morgan, of North Bre
vard, this week proposed that a
broom industry be started here
in Brevard and Transylvania coun

getting it established.
Broom corn, Mr. Morgan states,
can be raised in the county in
large quantities. “Our soil and
climate are ideal,” he stated and
explained, “I know because I have
already tried it.”
He also explained that he is
familiar with the manufacture of
the broom com brush into brooms
and promised that if a sufficient
number of farmers would raise
the corn this year he would bring
a machine here next fall and
make the brush into brooms.
“In the beginning I would be
glad to do that on a share basis,”
he declared.
Mr. Morgan said he had dis

Agent Julian Glazener and that
Mr. Glazener thinks the suggestion
is worthwhile.
*. “There is no reason why we
couldn’t have a little broom in
dustry here,” Mr. Morgan assert

one of our brooms will outlast
the manufactured kind.”
At the present time, he said,
the com brush is grown largely
in the states of Kansas, Oklaho

for 75 cents and there is some
money to be made in that busi
ness,” he declared.
