Barley Of Nebraska
Needs Improvement
Grain Raised Here Not Up to Standard
Required by the Mailing
Companies.

That Nebraska barley should be turned
down by the malt companies and large
shipments brought into the state from
other states, is evidence that the Ne
braska farmers are not paving enough at
tenHon to the quality OF their seed and to
handling this profitable crop.
OF the 10000 bushels OF barley shipped to
Omaha during the first eleven months OF
1910 some $4,000 bushels were shipped on
20 other markets because the careful buy
ers for mailing companies could not pay
the price owing TO the quality Of the grain
The $4,000 bushels were sold for other pur-
poses, but barley for mailing brings the
highest prices There are in Nebraska
alone interests which will buy the entire
crop OF harley produced In the state IL the
quality is raised They are now consuming
twice the amount they can buy in Nebraska
and shipping In large quantities OF the grain.
One OF the demonstrations at the coming

pose Of showing the Improvement OF barley
