It is desirable that this j crop rfboulJ be grown in abundance this J ear. 1 We hope our farmers will call upon Messrs. Foster A Judd, and supply themsclvcH with Med, and plant an acre or two, with the view .of supplying the workuncu of Cedar Springs with straw, so that we may be euppied with hrooms, without extortionary prices. A new broom sweeps clean. Plant Corn* We hope that every good ciliien, who has a garden spot or unoccupied piece of ground, feigo enough to spread a blanket upon wi turn it to good account this year, by planting corn or vcgetab'cs thereon. Lei him not only do this himself, but persuade hit neighbors lo do likewise. If people would gcucrally try to Taiso something?cabbage, corn, butter-beans, trnistoes, etc., which can be dene on a small scale without appreciable trouble, the prices of edibles would be kept in more reasonable bounds. Therefore, we say, plant coru somewhere , but plant coru 1 So says the Charleston Mercury. ^ A Good Example. Several citizens in Abbeville District, have united m furnishing corn (u soldiers' families at $1 per bushel. The Comuiiseiouer* of the Board of lidief, at their first meeting, ascertainod the number of families that needed aid fron the Board, was four hundred and fifteen Jamilies. Tho Board resolved to pay to eaeh' family $4 per month from the 1st January, #SG2. The Commissioner in each Battalion is io ascertain tho uecessiiics of each family, and ] report to the Board for a proper distribution of the fftid. We suppose a similar rule lo gevorn the Cornet misaiouers of this District, prevails here. In those very fuuiilioj which have been receiving corn, wo notice a large number of boys which should bo put into Hie corn field and kept there through the y?*ar. The season has new come to go to work in c&rneat, and the domand for labor wus never better, and we think it ia the duty of the Commissioners. when they are firing out corn, to enquire, and ascertain if there any boys at homo able to work, and if *o, cause them to be put lo work or drop the name of that family, until every one who is able to work ahall go at it in earnest. No idlers ahruld be permitted to draw their bread from tna Commissioners. They will find in the large division they are overlooking, m plenty % to feel, who a e strictly the objects of their eare, aud to whom the liberal hand of the State should he extended?and ue others.

The enormous prices at which brooms kav# been sold, daring the last year, are In a great measure awing to the fact that manyoftba factories, ir Indeed not all of them, have been compelled to suspend operations fur wsaks and even months together for want of material. Our climate and soil are admirably adapted to the growth of this product; which may be easily raised of exccllont quality, and in quantity sufficient to enable it to vie with "King Cotton" himself in the profits which it yields. Besides tlit straw, which may be sold at from 8 te It csots per pound, or even mere, according to its quality and the Mate ef the market, the grain or seed Joes not fall far below the ordinary yield of indian corn; tad is a valuable article ol food tor sheep, milch eows end towls.

Below we give tke mcth od, in brief, for the cultivation of Broem corn 1st. Plant the corn early in April, in rows about four foet wide, more or less, depending upon tke fertility ol the soil. It is te be pleated in the drill precisely as cotton, abeot three eights of a bushel of the seed to the acre. 8d. The plow aud hoe are to be used as though D wore cottou, thinuiug it eut with a broad hoe, and when it is three or four inches higjf thin it by'band, leaving only two er three stalks together according to the strength of your land, wbioh should not bo vary rieh. otherwise the straw will be too ooarne. Od About the first of August, when the blossom appears aud the straw turns slightly brown, the stalk must bo bent or turned down about six iacbes below the straw, which can readily be dono wi'hout breaking it It is generally necessary to go through the field at two or three different times; as it doea not all anise at sufficient maturity to requr# turning down at once. 4tb. In a few weeks from this time, (La seed will become hard and dry, when the corn should be cot just at the point at which it was bent: being carelul to do tlti* before it has become affected with mildew. Thou spread it out. iu a cool airy place to dry, protected alike from san and moisture. The *ecd* may be stripped off at any leisure time; then the straw il ready f?r market. A specimen of the instrument for stripping the seed may be sec.i at Messrs. hosier k Judd store, though il ran be constructed in many different forms. The soil should be ..uch as would produce good ootton, (not too poor) and, if properly cultirated, from 900 to #00 lbs. of straw may be raieed to the acre. Many tons of thin material can be roanufac lured into brooms here annually. We hope that e*ery farmer who can procure the seed, will, from year to year, devote several acres to this prop, until it shall become one of the staple products of the District; by so doing you will aubsorve the goueral interest of the oounlry, and confer a special favor on many young men, who, though destitute of sight, are determined with their own hands, to earn their daily bread.
