IL is doubtless this increasing fas-

that necessary last touch to the new

that many women are realizing that

TO get back the once neat, shapely

The United States department of ag-

which the United States government
will be represented at the international
prize exhibition for barley and hops.
The department will show what has
been done Ey several Of it's experts

The importance of this exhibition for
the farmers who raise barley and hops

that the first step is herewith taken to
bring about,a system of valuing these
important crops upon a basis Of fact

but also because there has been ii lack
of uniformity as to variety or strain
This is perhaps of more than ordinary
importance in the case of barley and
is one of the matters that will engage
the attention of the barley and hop ex
hibition ut Chicago in October, 1911.
The barley which is used for mating
purposes is put through an artificial
process of sprouting in mass, in which
necessarily all grains are treated alike.
1t stands to reason, however, that
where plump and thin grains, mellow
and finty ones. starchy and albuminous
grains are all stepped and sproUted

Six Rowed Barley.-Through several
years. experimentation at the Wiscon-
sin agricultural experiment station 1t
has been found that the six rowed bar
ley is preferable to other varieties and
more profitable for the average farmer
to grow. The yield far surpasses that
of the other varieties, and the market
demands for the six rowed class far
surpass those Of all other varieties COM
bined At a conservative estimate SO
Per cent of all the barley now grown
in Wisconsin is six rowed barley. This
being the type Of barley most COM
monty used for mailing in the United
States. 1t is likely that most Of the
samples that will be shown at the bar
ley and hop exhibition in Chicago in
October, 1911. will be of that type.
The experiments with two rowed
barley through eight years continuous
breeding work clearly prove that In
most regions the farmer cannot get
the returns from this crop that can be
secured with the six r0wed variety.
The straw seems to be very frail and
lodges easily, thereby injuring the
quality of the grain and reducing the
yield.
