CHINESE SITUATION
CAUSING CONCERN
England Deeply Interested in Send
ling Of American Cruisers to
the Philippines.

London, March 1.-THE situation IN
China is being keenly observed here. and
the news that the United States has or
dered a cruiser squadron rushed to the
Philippines has attracted marked atten-
tion.
This move is taken TO define the atti-
tude OF the United States government
toward an attempted partition of China
by Japan and Russia.
Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge. former d.
rector Of naval intelligence in the Brit
ish admiralty. in discussing to-day the
dispatch of cruisers to the Philippines by
the United States Indicated his belief
that a naval clash IN Far Eastern waters
is not out OF the question. He thought
the United States should be certain of
its naval strength before becoming in
volved.
No Fear of Partition.
First OF ALL" said Admiral Sir Cy-
prisn, II have no knowledge OF the lat
est International situation in China, and
don't know whether the statement that
Japan and Russia are going to partition
China Is true. Personally, / should
think that the probability OF their doing
so Is very remote.
Il am quite certain that the dispatch
OF American cruisers to the Philippines.
in itself, wouldn't have much effect.
Such a squadron would make very little
difference in the balance of naval pow
er unless there is a big American feet
already in the Pacific, and believe
there is not.
'Of course, II there Is going to be trou-
BILE II is not unnatural that the United
States government should wish to pro-
tect the property and lives OF American
citizens A squadron Of American cruis-
ers, however, couldn't prevent any par
tition Of China, and think that the ex-
pressed opinion and attitude of the Unit
ed States government would have much
more effect.
The American war ship must always
be considered a factor to be reckoned
with. but this time 1t appears to be a
question of numbers on the spot. The
American Asiatic fleet is very small. and
the squadron of armorsd cruisers
wouldn't do much to adjust the balance
with other fleets.
Their dispatch might be merely an
indication of the views Of the American
government and may be so accepted. But
II there Is going to be trouble, then the
best way would be for the United States
to keep an inferior feet out Of the way
until she Is able to have a concentrate

MARKETING BARLEY.

Barley serves as a ready money
crop for most growers and is usually
put on the market soon after thresh-
Ing. 1t is not good practice to put
weather beaten or damaged barley on
the market as the price will be cut
severely even though the feeding qual.
ity Is but slightly impaired. It is far
better to use such injured barley on
the farm and secure both feeding ana
fertlizing value from it.
/ Nnerent varieties should not be
mixed when being put on the market
either as seed or mailing barley.
Farmers should grow but one VARIETY
OF barley and that Of the very best.
Different varieties of barley when
placed on the mailing floor for sprout-
ing germinate at different periods az
time which leads to a positive loss
on mixed types Of barley, and a CORE.
spending reduction in price. The maft,
ster desires barley of one distinct
type and this should be uniform In
quality and size Of berry. From 70.

Great attention should be given to

upon this important operation as q
great deal Of barley has been damaged

barley should never be cut until it 10

also important not to leave barley un-
cut after it is ripe as it will discolor
easily by dew at that stage.
Barley Color Important.
The value Of barley for mating
purposes depends on the color and
soundness. also on the test of germina,
ton as all mailing barley must be
sprouted in the malthouse and prices
are paid for it accordingly, therefore

SEED BED FOR BARLEY.

Whatever the nature Of the soil may
be. q well prepared seed bed is neces.
sary. The ground should be plowed
and worked until deep. well pulver.
lied, level seed bed is obtained. Such
bed will most efficiently aid in sup.
plying the necessary factors for ger,
mination, heat, moisture and oxygen.
AS q general rule. when the seed bed
is properly prepared, 1t needs no furth.

be rolled and followed with an even

Graded to secure the plumpest and
largest seeds. a uniformity In size and
maturity Of the grain, will insure an
even growth and maturity Of the
crop.
A tester for testing the samples can
be easily made by using two tin
plates. one slightly smaller than the
jether. Cotton flannel pads are cut Of
the same size AZ the inside Of the un-
ferplate. The pads are soaked In wa
ter and squeezed to remove surplus
moisture. A pad is put in bottom Of
larger plate and 100 grains distribut-
ed over 1t. Another pad is placed
rpon the seed ana the smaller plate
inverted and used AZ q cover to pre-
vent evaporation. This tester should
be placed In convenient place where
tho temperature fs between "a ana 80
degrees r. Water can be added to
pads when they become somewhat dry.
A record of the test should be kept
and sprouted seeds removed from day
to day.
Should Test s5 Per Cent.
No grain should give q termination
of less than 95 per cent for the best
results. The higher tho percentage of
termination the better. That all the
grain terminates is not sufficient, how
ever. The termination should be
strong and vigorous, resulting In a
strong, rapidly-growing young plant.
Plant Food for Barley.
A yield Of barley of 40 bushels per
acre removes approximately 80 pounds
nitrogen, 81 pounds phosphoric acid
and SO pounds of potash per acre.
The nitrogen increases the rapidity
and quality Of growth; the phosphoric
acid, which is Immediately available,
increases the formation of plant cells
and hastens the ripening of the cereal
and the potash increases the starch
OF the cereal as we'll as materially
Strengthening the straw.
Therefore the rotation should in.
clude clover or other legumes for nit.
rogen. The other elements must be
supplied If deficient in order to main.
tain and build up the soil. Manure
should be used with one Of the crops
every four years but not the same
year as barley.
