YIELDS OF BARLEY

The highest yield of siX-rowed hxr-
ley in 1907 at the Ontario export
ment station was produced from q
special strain originated from ST.
lection from the Manshury barley,
originated at the college in 1906. Tie
college has produced considerable
number of hybrid barleys by using
the Manshury as one of the par
ents. OF six varieties of two-rowed
barleys grown for IA years in sue

Chevalier ranked first in yield, with
64.6. 63.S and 62.2 bushels per acre,
respectively
or the hulless variety grown for
IA years in succession. Guy Maybe
ranked first with 4S.3 bushels, Pur-
pie second with asa bushels, and
Black Hulless third with 44.9 bushels.
The last mentioned variety is the
most extensively grown throughout
Ontario. Winter barley at the col
lege for IL years has given an ay.
erage yield of 56.5 bushels of grain
and 1.3 tons of straw per acre. In
1907, of three winter varieties, Ten.

be the best of those tried. the lambs
making a gain of ia pounds per head
in IA weeks, against 2S.6 pounds made
by the lot on alfalfa hay and corn. The
present experiment with 40 lambs in
each lot shows an average gain or
2O.3 pounds in IA weeks by the lambs
on native hay. oats. and oil meal. and
34.3 pounds by the lambs on alfalfa
hay and corn.
The amount of feed required was
6O7 pounds of native hay, AGO pounds
of oats, and % pounds of oil meal for
100 pounds of gain. In the previous
experiment 574 pounds of hay, 59l
pounds of oats. and Sc pounds of oil
meal were required for 100 pounds
gain.
The results of these two expert
ments indicate that the native hay.
oats. and oil meal ration will produce
somewhat less than two-thirds the gain
produced by alfalfa hay and corn in
the same length of time, and also re-
uuires considerably more feed to pro-
duce 100 pounds gain.
Wild sweet clover is common along
and since it withstands alkali well
and gives heavy tonnage of hay, it
should prove desirable hay crop in
many sections. Stockmen commonly
believe that sweet clover is useless
as forage plant, but cattle and sheep
will eat the growing plant If 1t is
not too large and coarse, and the ex-
pertinent here reported shows that
lambs eat the hay readily and make
good gains from 1t.
Comparing Lots and 5, We find
that the sweet clover lambs made an
average gain of 3O.7 pounds in IA
weeks, while the alfalfa lambs made
34.4 pounds gain. The former ate
one-sixth more hay, somewhat more
corn, and small amount of oil meal.
The larger consumption of sweet clo-
yer hay was due to the fact that 1t
was cut late and was very coarse and

around their farms.
The forest Is very open and for the
most part contains n scattering stand
of western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed are found ash. box elder.
cottonwood elm and birch. Cedar
breaks are also found on precipitous
slopes bordering the streams. West
ern yellow pine is the only merchant
able species. however on the forest
and the average stand per acre is not
over 1000 feet. The reproduction of
pine is fairly good wherever mature
trees occur. but owing to the open
condition of the forest and the dense
growth of grass 1t Is for the most part
unsatisfactory.
There Is but little timber that will
be sold from the forest at the present
time, since this area is very isolated,
being surrounded on all sides by vast
plains Many homestcaders have in
the past come to this forest for tim
ber for logs to build their houses.
Since the completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee d St. Paul railroad. Billings
county Is rapidly being settled, and
while stock grazing is at the present
time the most important industry. 1t Is
very probable that farming will be-
come the most important industry
within the next few years. 1t Is very
important. therefore, that the timber
which now remains should be con-
served exclusively for the use of tn"
home builder.
At the present time there are but
seven homesteaders within the Doun-
daries of the forest. but all of the odd
sections are alienatcd land being
owned by the Western Land Securities
Company. This company has been
selling portions of their holdings dur
ing the past few years. Very little OF
the government land within the
boundaries of the forest is suitable for
farming purposes. since 1t Is quite
rough and broken and water is very
scarce. II is the country outside OF
the forest which is now being taken
up by settlers.
No sawmill operations have ever
been conducted on the area. 'When
the Northern Pacific railroad was oe-
ing built a larger number or trees
were cut for railroad ties, and together
with the logs which have been pro-
cured for house building by settiers'
this ia the only use which has been
made Of the timber on the forest. IL Is
understood that the logs used in the
construction of President Roosevelts
cabin, which now stands in the state
capitol grounds at Bismarck, N. d.
were obtained from the area now IN
cluded in the Dakota national forest
Gov. Burke of North Dakota is very
much interested in this forest ana
thinks II will be of inestimable value
to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
Both of the new national forests the the
ocaIa in Florida, and the Dakota, will
be mt under administration by the
forest service as soon as possible.
