j. B. Pickett. one Of our pro-
greSsive farmers, and one who Is al
ways ready to try something that
looks good to him. and to demon
strate to his own satisfaction its
worth, or lack of it, brought to The
Courier Office last Monday a bunch Of
bcardleSs barley, a small patch Of
which he sowed this spring. The bar
ley Is now at its full growth, with
large heads, and can be fed to stock
without fear Of bad results, the grain
being 'beardlesS." Mr.. Pickett SOW
ed a half bushel OF this barley in
March. about the middle of the
month, and early in May he was cut
ting 1t for green feed for his stock
which, he says, prefer 1t to other
green feeds. He has had plenty of
green feed for two cows and a horse
from this half buShcl Of seed sown
on between an eighth and a quarter
or an acre OF ground, and Is now
curing some for dry feed. TO secure
good crop Mr. Pickett finds it nee
essary to give it good. rich soil. and
for that reason he does not know
Just to what extent the beardless bar
ley could be depended upon as soil
improrcr. AS to furnishing abund-
ancc OF green feed. however. he Is
delighted with il. and expects to use
II regularly.
