A legislative committee Of patriotic but
irritated Jerseymen has officially animad-
verted on n Of the chief Typographical
features Of the Cranberry State, its salt
marshes. The committee describes them
as "a nuisance, a menace to health, a factor
adversely affecting the value of lands and
a source Of great annoyance to laborers
working out Of DOORS
The official entomologist OF New Jersey
had already estimated that 30 per cent
of the pestiferous Jersey mosquitoes" are
bred in these marshes, and that for $315 900
the State could drain and fill them and
thereby get rid Of the mosquitoes. Already
S. 900 has been expended for the purpose.
There are 800 600 acres Of salt marsh and
in New Jersey, a larger proportion than in
any other State. Atlantic county has
SIS 900 acres; Cumberland, 5000; Cape May,
so 1000; Salem, 81 900; Burlington, % 600;
Hudson, which includes the Jersey City
marshes, 1000; Middlesez, 5000; Union,
$500; Essex. $500, and Camden, 5000. Only
six counties are without them.
The Jersey mosquito has heretofore
withstood all destructionists, including
scientists, dermatologists, chemists, com
muters, manufacturers OF Chinese sticks,
hotel keepers, railroad officials and wen
the front porch philosophers as numerous
as cactus leaves in Mexico. The proposed
official plan is 70 ditch, drain and I'LL in the
800 900 acres of Jersey marsh lands and
thus do away with 80 per cent Of the
Jersey mosquitoes; the other 10 per cent
are apparently indestruotible by any
method yet known to the science Of Jer-

Dry Land Russian Barley.

]. c. Dawes, formerly a leading
farmer in the famous Gallatin
Valley, but for the past two years
engaged in dry land farming, has
demonstrated beyond a possible
doubt that a new epoch has been
opened to the dry land farmer.
During the past two years Mr..
Dawes has experimental in rails
ing species of Russian barley
produced extensively on the steppes
of Russia. This grain differs some
what from native grain. The head
resembles that of wheat while the
kernel also bears a resemblance to
the same cereal. Fifty BUSHES of
well-developed grain can be raised
from one acre on dry bench land
without water. The crop natures
in about ninety days, thus it is pos
sible, by early seeding, to avoid the
hot whitening sun of late July and
August. This year Mr.. Dawes
seeded his ground on April IS and
July IS the reapers were running.
Russian barley can be threshed and
used precisely as other grain. How
ever, another idea in which Mr..
Dawes is much interested and
which he has demonstrated to be
successful, is the feeding of the
Russian grain in the straw to live
stock, sheep, cattle and hogs. He
declares one ton of barley fed in the
straw contains as much nutrition
as three tons of the best alfalfa.
The straw is tender and sweet and
live stock eat it readily. -Dickin-
son, North Dakota, Press.

a little roots, a much better ra-
ton is provided which will give
more satisfactory results. Alfalfa
and bran are both highly nitrogen
GUS and consequently supply too
much of that particular element.
Bran can be entirely eliminated if
the oats and roots are available, and
the ration could be made up with
80 pounds of alfalfa, trhee pounds
of oats, four pounds OF barley and
six pounds of roots. This would
give nutritivc ratio of 1 to 4 S.
These figures are based on the
daily requirements of 1000

CORN SUCCESSFULLY
RAISED IN THIS STATE

Alex Mcpherson, of Twin Falls,
is stopping off for short visit in
Boise with his son, j. U. McPher-
son, while en- route home from a
trip to Moscow where he has been
attending a meeting of the state
board of horticulture, of which he
is secretary; other members being
DR.. Utisco, of Boise, president;
]. H. Shawan, of Payette, with
Professor French and Professor
Aldrich, of the state university, as
ex-officio members.
Mr.. Mcpherson is an enthusiast
over the experimental farm at Twin
Falls, of whcih he is the superin-
tendent This farm consists of two
4O-acre tracts, one located near
Twin Falls and the other near
Bull. During the past year the
farm has paid all the expenses con-
nceted with its management. Six
teen varieties of corn were planted
this year. Of these, eight matur-
ed and the others were not salts
factory, but may be improved by
another years. test.
To show the value of scientific
experiments in farming they have
on this farm one variety of corn
which two years ago produced one
ear to the stalk and eight rows OF
kernels to the ear. With two years
cultivation and selection they have
succeeded in getting variety that
produces one ear and a nubbin to
the stalk and the ear has IA rows
instead of eight as originally. Mr..
Mcpherson says that within another
year he will be able to produce two
full sized ears of IA rows each on
that particular variety.
Beginning the first of January
the Twin Falls company will close
the farm so far as the company is
concerned, but Mr.. Mcpherson will
