GROWING THE BARLEY CROP
Ing to Diversity Of Conditions.
Seed Bed Is Essential.

(By II. b. DERR, Bureau of Plant Indus
try. U. S. department OF AKriculture.)
Barley Is grown over such q wide
area and under such a diversity OF con.
ditions that definite rules for its cult.
vation can hardly be given. The thor
ough preparation of the seed bed 10
essential under all conditions. as on
this depends a large part Of the sue
cess Of the crop.
Flowing should be done the fall
previous or considerable time before
seeding. This allows a complete set
Ting 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 sell
dom does well on newly broken sod
but when sod land Is to be planted
best results will be obtained II 1t 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. as 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 injure 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 injuring Its yielding capacity.
In some portions Of the United
States the ground is seldom plowed
for barley where 1t 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

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 n 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 1t becomes hard before
the plowing can be completed.
