HIGH GRADE SEED IN DEMAND.
10y George S. Gresn.)


The very evident increase In the de.
mand for high grade seed grain is
most encoura ging to seedmen and the.
leading houses in, the seed trade are
making an earnest effort to supply
this demand. Heretofore there has
been neither a widespread demand
nor any adequate source of supply for
quantities of hlgh-grade seed grain in
any prOportionate to the total area
to be seeded. The supply for this de-
mard must come from two sources.
First, the breeding OF pure seed grain
through the careful and painstaking
methods Of the scientific plant breed
er. This method while highly efficient
and full Of promise for the future and
hence worthy of all encouragement, is
necessarily slow. Furthermore, it will
only be useful to the farsighted and
educated farmer, who Is willing to pay
liberal prices for his seed and to give
his own local conditions sufficient
study to enable him to choose wisely
from the mass of information offered
him by agricultural colleges.
Sow Plump, Wel-Matured Grain.
Tie other method, which for the
present, appeals even more strongly
: to me, is the selection. and careful re-
cleaning of plump, high colored and
we'll matured grain, grown on clean
farms in sections which now produce
heavy crops of the grain in question.
This class OF seed, grain distributed
In quantity through seedsmen and
other commercial channels will, | be-
lieve, produce quick results in great
ly increased average yield of grain in
the sections where it is sown.
verify believe that this should be
primarily campaign against the use
of inferior seed grain, against the use
CT weedy, immature, poorly-cleaned
seed grain, such as so many farmers
are now using.
Insist on Clean, Heavy Seed.
If you can displace the seeding of
this character of grain in a county
and substitute the use of good heavy
clean perfectly matured grain, Sc
cured at moderate cost through ordin-
airy channels from sections where the
grain In question produces bountifully
yoI will at once raise materially the
average production of grain in that
county both in quantity and quality.
What We want first and most of all
Is that farmers generally shall plant
good, clean, strong, germinable seed,
produced under favorable conditions
and recleaned by modern methods.
This kind of seed can be supplied in
large qualities by seedsmen when the
demand for it is created.

It has been authoritatively esti-

and other incidental expenses con.

to Eli per cent. OF their total money

On this basis the total money loss to

Leave Air Space.
Stacks should not be built too close
tose4her, but should have space
e;aoush between them SO that the air
can circulate freely between them
which we find is a great help in cur
Ing the grain for threshing.
Care and good Judgment should be
exercised at the time CT threshing,
especially if tho grain is dry The
concayes in the machine should not be
s9t too close. It is often necessary to
ta6e out some Of the teeth from the
concayes. The speed Of the machine
should be reduced so that the kernels
are not bssohen nor the boards clipped
of toe close to the kernels, which is
detrimental for mailing purposes.
Masters and thresherman know
this as leaving the barley somewhat
"leggy." The beard should not be
clipped off closer than one-eighth inch
from the tiD of the berry.
Damaged Kernels.
Damaged and broken kernels If put
in the naalthouse to sprout will form a
mold on the injured parts, which is
not wanted by the MASTERS, nor will
such barley grow well If sown in the
ground.
For feeding purposes II Would not
make much difference, discoiored and
broken kernels have practically the
same feeding value as bright colored
barley, as the feeding value is not
changed by the color, but the price is
for mating barley.
Take Good Care of Barley.
The difference in price paid for
mailing and feeding barley varies froa
five cents to sixty cents per bushel,
sometimes more in favor of the malt
ing. II barley is cut at the proper
time, care taken in the shocking and
stacking, and little common sense
exercised at the time of threshing, it
would mean to the farmer a revenue
far in excess Of the little extra labor
expended.

CLEARING THE LAND OF
WEEDS.

Owing to It's early maturity, barley
is an excellent crop for clearing the
land of weeds, as 1t Is cut before they
mature seed. After the crop is re-
moved the land can be plowed or
disked, thus destroying the weeds that
are growing in the stubble. Further
cultivation will kill any that survive

Rotation IS an important factor in
the successful growing of barley. 1t
should not follow itself too closely.
This Is more true of barley than other
of our common cereals. An excellent
rotation Is clover and timothy two
years, corn one year followed the next
by barley, and grass seeding. Manure

jury on a charge of stealing an auto

Sergeants Templeton and Ebert were
Notified by the Asbury Park police that
an automobile answering the descrip-
ton of that stolen from this city was
travelling about the town driven by two
men, who were trying to dispose of the
same. Armed with two John Doe war
rants the detectives went to Asbury
Park and identified the machine. The
number on the rear had been covered
with grease and the number on the
front of the car was hung under the
spring SO that no one could see it.
At Asbury Park the local detectives,
with NJ. H. Mayes, of the Pinkerton
bureau, and Thomas Broderick, of the
Asbury Park police, found the men
racing about the streets. When discov-
cred they put on more speed and raced
to a stable. which was their sheltering
place, in the outskirts of Sea Girt.
Here the officers surrounded the gar
age and demanded the men to sur
render. They came out, but started at
breakneck speed to dash across the
open fields. Sergeant Ebert fired sew
eral shots over their heads, which
brought them to a stop.
The detectives learned that the men
had sold to George Edict. proprietor of
a garage, over 500 worth of automo-
bile equipments for so.
The two men admitted that this
was their fourth attempt at stealing
automobiles.
