living near Sioux Falls, was in that
city recently exhibiting a sample of
this years growth OF his new beard
less barley. Mr.. Jones says he has
spent the past twenty SIX years cross
ing different kinds OF barley until he
has now a beardless barley, the straw
ofwhich grows as high and rank as
wheat straw, and the yield is twice
what the old kind brought. This
year Mr.. Jones has fifty acres of the
new grain. 1t now stands three feet
high and some OF it is headed out.
He expects it to yield from % to 100
bushels to the acre. He began with
a few seeds and last year he sold sew
eral hundred bushels at SO per bushel
and he expects to get that price for
his good crop OF this year. The kern
al, Mr.. Jones claims, is superior to
that OF the old bearded kind.

The theory that malaria Is usually
due to bad drinking water instead of
bad air is supported in a pamphlet is
sued by the North Carolina state
board of health for general distribu-
ton. 1t contains replies from the
coast counties, in which it is clearly
shown that the use Of shallow wells
is connected with nearly all the cases
of malaria, and that communities sup
piled with rain water in cisterns or
from artesian wells are almost free
from this form of disease. Many au-
thorities in South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida are cited supporting this
view of the case, and instances are
named in which outbreaks Of malaria]
fever have been ended by avoiding
the use of water from wells or small
streams. A more general scientific in.
vestigation of this subject would prob.
ably prove important.
