College Station, Raleigh. Dec. f>-
For 20 years Torn Broom. Union
County farm agent, has been preach
ing and practicing the gospel of les
pedeaa.
( To Tom Broom, who has seen les
! pedeza transform run down, unpro
ductive land into fertile fields, les-
J pedeza-growing is the basis of good
\ i arming.
j He gave lespedeza to North Caro
i lina, and largely as a result of his
pioneer efforts the crop has spread
into all parts of the State.
Back in 191. r « he discovered that a
crop of corn on a field where a grow
th of wild lespedeza had been plow
ed under produced a much higher
yield than it would on other fields.
Investigation disclosed that the soil
building merits of the lespedeza were
responsible for the increased corn
yield. He tried the new legume' on
his farm, then urged his neighbors to
grow .it.
Tom Broom loves farming. He
likes to get out in the open arid smell
the upturned earth of a freshly plow
ed field, to see green things growing,
to walk through fruitful fields at har
vest time.
He has found a great satisfaction
In working with farmers, and at the
age of 69 he does not regret that
when a young man he chose to be a
farmer and a county agent rather
than to become a partner in a mer
cantile firm that now operates a
targe chain of department stores.
