THE BARLEY CROP
How to Secure More and Better
Grain of That Kind in North
Star State

Last seasons drouth is evidenced
more in the barley crop than in any
of the other farm grains Summer
rains helped the later-maturing
Crops; but barley was '.headingout'
and filling just when the drouth
was most severely felt. AS a conse-
quence, the seed-barley of our state
is not up to the standard this spring.
This station has been consistent in
the saving, year after
year. of only the plumpest, heaviess
and otherwise best grain for see.l
purposes; also that this selection
can be safely made with the average
tanning mill This year, in view of
the barley situation, the station is
recommending more strongly than
ever rigid selection of the largest,
plumpest, heaviest and most perfect
seeds Not more than twenty per
cent, or one bushel in five, should
be saved FOR seed purposes. In other
words. take five bushels from1 the
bin and from this clean out and
save only the one best bushel Of
grain for your seeding This sort
of work is imperative if our barley
is to be kept mp to standard, or an
Improvement made and high yields
secured

to know barley. let them write to

FOR GOOD ROADS
Practical Suggestions for Good

Bowling Of Olivia

Hon. NJ. j. Bowling of Olivia makes
the following practical suggestions
relative tc the important matter CT

miles of east and west road parallel
ing the Milwaukee Road through
Renvipe County When the new,
reached us that the Tribune Trophy
would be given to the county having
the best roads, over which the auto
mobile tour to Aberdeen would run,
we divided this 55 miles into dis
tricts, selecting the most enthusiast
tic good-roads man in each district
as it's superintendent. We went to
the county commissioners, who cav
ored us with small appropriation,
which was divided equally among
the district superintendeEts. We
went to the village council of each
village, and were favored by them
with a small appropriation, which,
was turned over to the local district
superintendent. We then aroused
the spirit of enthusiasm among the
village people and the farmers along
the entire route. We also aroused
q spirit of rivalry between the dis
1tricts: and then we went to work
with the ordinary disc and harrow,
following these with the King drag.
The entire 81, miles was thoroughly
disced, narrowed adm then smoothed
by the King drag. sodsN were thrown
TO the side Of the road, ruts were
fifed and packed, approaches 10
ot,verts ana bridges were carefully
filed level with planks, Iall stones
and pieces of broken glass were
picked up by hand. Rocks we're dug
out, and ME holes filed and packed
Tow places, where water might set
tie after a rain, were drained by
small open bitches. This work hav
ing been accomplished, nothing fur
Tier was done than to maintain the
road in good condition by the use 81

State fntomoiosist Sends Out

F. J.. Washburn, state entomoio-

University Farm at st. Anthony
PARK, stating that grasshoppers are
making their appearance in Mlnne
sofa. in some localities, in numbers
that threaten serious damage The
following is the bulletin:
sGrasshopper eggs are laid in the
ming to hatch, and reports are reach
ing this Office from various localities
that they are quite abundant, IN
some places dangerously so. These
eggs. when found, should be ploWed
deep. The same applies to the new
~ Matched grasshoppers. Where
farms adjoin large tracts of unploV-
ed land, and this unpsowed land is
found full of eggs. or swarmirg with
very young grasshoppers, young
crop of grain might be protected for
while by blowing a strip of this
reverted land two. or three rods wide
adjoining the field planted with
srain.

experts in the field this summer,

though heavy rains preceded the
Aberdeen run, and our soil is as
slippery when wet as any in the
state. by running the King drugs
over this road in the early morning
of the day when the automobiles

"Not counting the labor of love,
which was gladly donated by farm
ers and village people along the
line, our total expenditure on this
road, for 1910, was less than 5000.
am convinced that the same work
can be duplicated in any community
in Minnesota, by simply getting to-
gether and dividing up the territory,
and then enthusing the inhabitants
until spirit of loyalty in each dis
trict is aroused. This will soon be
come welded into a county spirit
that is sure to bring down the fruit.
IF | would add anything more it
would be this Don't let water stand
on any portion of the road, to soak
and soften it: don't permit q single
sod to be used in constructing the
road: don't build the road too wide,
and don't build it to a peak in the
center. Make it round like a hog
hack, and then keen it in condition
by frequent use of the King drag:
and do not forget that the best time
to use the King drag is right after
a rain. /"
