GROWING THE BARLEY CROP
Definite Rules Cannot Be Given ow.
Ing to Diversity Of Conditions.
Seed Bed 10 Essential.

(By H. B. DERR. Bureau OF Plant Indus
try. U. 8. Department OF Agriculture.)
Barley Is grown over such wide
area and under such a diversity Of con.
ditions that definite rules for It's cult
vation can hardly be given. The thor.
ough preparation of the seed bed IL
essential under all conditions. as on
this depends large part Of the sue.
cess Of the crop.
Flowing should be done the fall
previous or q considerable time before
seeding. This allows . complete set
uing Of the soil and improves Its wa
ter.holding capacity. Many failures
have resulted from planting barley on
newly plowed ground. especially when
dry season followed. The crop sci.
dom does well on newly broken sod: /:
but when sod land Is to be planted
best results will be obtained II It Is
broken shallow and laid flat rather
than set on edge. as Is commonly
done. Breaking should be done while
the grass Is fresh and green. a. de-
composition then sets In rapidly and
the vegetation and roots soon decay.
Flowing under vegetation when the
plants and roots are tough is injurious.
as their slow decay renders the soil
too open.
No soil should be plowed when very
wet. The shearing action Of the plow
upon the bottom Of the furrow Is like
ly to form an almost impervious layer
or "plowpan" by compacting the soil
particles. Unless the depth of plow.
mig is varied from year to year this
layer Is likely to lnjure the growth
Of crops that follow. BY gradually
changing the depth Of plowing each
year new soil is brought to the top
and mixed with the surface soil with.
out inturing Its yielding capacity.
In some portions Of the United
States the ground Is seldom plowed
for barley where It follows a cult.
waited crop. but Is simply cross or
double disked and narrowed. When
the soil is in good physical condition
good crops may be obtained by this
method.
Where possible. barley should follow
a cultivated crop. AS soon as the
previous crop is removed In the fall
the. ground should be deeply plowed
and left rough. AS early In the spring
as possible the land should be double
disked, either crossing or tapping half
II the soil is rough and cloddy a plank
drag should be used to break the
clods. In extreme cases a light roller
should first be used. The disk har.
row or plank drag should be followed
by the smoothing harrow to make a
fine seed bed. In a cold. backward
spring this treatment will aid In
warming up the soil.
II the land is not plowed until
spring. the soil sometimes dries out
so rapidly that It becomes hard before
the plowing can be completed.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, l became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the af1iction assumed the
form OF an eczema on my face. the
lower part Of my face being inhamed
most Of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise. up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un.
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be q solid sore. This con.
dition continued for four or five years.
without getting any better, and In fact
got worse all the time, SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply.
sicians OF this part Of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX.
Ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash.

notice improvement. and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was

currence Of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. l have recon-.

BLUE GRASS PASTURES EXCEL
Extensive investigations Carried on
BY Missouri Experiment Station
With 1858 Head Of Cattle.

Cattle fattened on blue grass pac.
lures will make double the gain on
the same grain for the first three
months Of the pasture season as com.
pared with the late months Of the
feeding period. This important factor
az well as the influence Of age, nitro.
geneous supplements and the margin
OF profit are discussed In Bulletin 90
Of the Missouri experiment station.
This bulletin was written by Dean F.
B. Munford and records the results
Of nve years experiments In fatten.

There Is a large number Of poison.
Gus plants In the United States which,
on account OF their limited area OF
growth. and sometimes OF the uncer.
tainty OF our knowledge concerning
their evil effects. are comparatively
little known. All poisonous plants are
no. equally Injurious to all persons.
nor to all forms Of life. The United
States Department OF Agriculture has
gathered information concerning those
that are well known and widely spread
in growth. The well known poke root
has various local names. to-wit; Poke:
poke root; garget: pigeon berry; co.
cum: jalap; shoke; American night.
shade: crowberry; cancer root: chon.
gras ua.): redweed: red.ink plant:
pecan bush.
Description and Where Found.-A
smooth. rank, succulent. perennial.
six to nine feet high. with a thick
half-woody root, purplish stems. large
alternate leaves, and numerous elon.
gated clusters OF small greenish-white
flowers. which blossom through the
summer. and are followed In autumn
by shining purple.black berries. The
plant is native to the United States.
and grows in rich. moist soils. espe-
cially as weed In cultivated and
waste grounds. from Maine and North.
ern Illinois to Florida. and westward
to Texas. Eastern Kansas. and South.
ern Minnesota.
uses.-The poke weed has many
household uses, but some chemical or
mechanical manipulation seems neces
sary to prevent III effects when 1t is
eaten. The root and the alcoholic ex.
tract OF the fruit are quite commonly
used as n household remedy for the
Itch and other skin diseases, and for
rheumatism. The fresh shoots are
rather widely esteemed as substitute
for asparagus. but In the preparation
considerable care Is exercised to re-
iect the root. for small quantities i'm.
part a bitter taste to the mess. and
larger amounts will prove dangerous
The water In which the shoots are
first boiled is also rejected on &C.

City ore, however, went for Sac.
Spelter remained firm the entire
week, being SIS. 90 and S5.95.
Lead commanded about the
same prices as the week previous,
although the market was not so
dull. Prices ran from S5S to sos.
The calamine market was
strong again, with prices for 40
per cent ore running from SPA to
SIS. Choice grades commanded
S32. The calamine market has
shown remarkable strength for
some time now. The produc-
tion was light for some time. 1t
has been heavier, however, the
last two weeks, but this has not
affected the market any, and 1t
seems that even though much
larger amounts may be sold with
out affecting the strength of the
market. A strong demand for
calamine has cleaned the market
of it each week.
All camps are busy and each
week sees more mining being
done than the one previous. That
the district has a bright future
ahead is apparent, there seems to
be much work for miners, and
nearly all operators have several
mines going.

The basis price for 60 per cent
zinc was about the same as the
week previous, with a slight ten
dency towards lower prices for
the better grades. Most of the
ore was sold at from S42 to S45.
The top price paid was S4S.
One company withdrew from
the market after buying over a
million pounds in a few weeks.
The withdrawal of this company
is said to be only temporary,
however. It is not thought this
will have any effect on the mar

strong. The American Lead &
Zinc Company's mines are now

St. Marks Church.

October 1st will be the Six
tenth Sunday after Trinity.
The Collect is: 20 Lord, we
beseech thee. let Thy continual
pity cleanse and defend Thy
Church; and, because it cannot
continue in safety without Thy
Succour, preserve it evermore by
Thy help and goodness; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
The Psalter is the 1st to the
5th Psalm.
The Lectionary is Judges 4
and St. Mark Is.
The Epistle is Ephesians 8:
1921.
The Gospel is from St. Luke
7:11-17.
Service for the worship Of Je-
hovah will be held in St. Marks
Church, Baxter Spring, at eight
p. m. (This hour will not be
changed). You ought to come
and worship at St. Marks church.
The prayer of Jesus Christ
who came to found a Church
was that we "All might be
one." Worship prearranged and
not left to the minister was pecu-
liar to the Jewish Church and
worship in the same way and in
the same words has always been
the custom of the Church of all
the ages. The church is not for
the saints, but for the sinners.
Come and worship and ye may
find rest for your souls.

T. J. Morrow returned last
Thursday from a weeks trip
down into Oklahoma. While
away he was in Adair, Vinita,
Collinsville, Bristow and Tulsa.
He reports things rather quiet in
that section, but he is of the
opinion that the recent advance
in the price of crude oil will re-
vive business conditions in the
oil producing regions.
1t seems as if hogs have hit
the price toboggau. There are
lots of hogs in the country, just
ready to shove on the market,
and the packers know it, so they
are hammering down the price.
To the ordinary layman It looks
as if the high price of hogs was
a matter of history. Perhaps
the price will not advance again
until next spring. Anyway that
seems to be the idea of men who
make a speciality Of keeping the
hog market Ia touch.
