ing. They claim the condition OF the
market this year respecting the demand
for barley will be altogether different
from what it was last fall. Feed stuffs
OF every kind, corn included, promise to
be good and there will be noshigh prices

to the weather and threshed from the
shock in the field will net the farmer a
loss. OF in many cases as much as twenty

that gram. The only sale way for a

the market is paying for barley will be
to let it sweat in the stack 40 as to gain
that bright golden color SO highly priced
. by buyers OF barley for malt and brew
ing purposes.
