ONE VARIETY OF BARLEY
Establishing Seed Center So That All
Grain Shipped From Each Station
May Be Uniform and Free From
Noxious Weeds and

(6y Bert eau.)

The Crop improvement Committee
Of the Council Grain Exchanges is
further extending it's efforts to i'm.
prove the quality of seed grain. The
latest movement Is to induce a group
OF farmers surrounding an elevate. to
meet upon call and decide which va.
riety OF grain Is best adapted to that
soil and climate, and demand a .raded
price at the elevator, and to breed up
this single variety SO that it can be
shipped in carloads, unmixed with
other grains and the seeds of noxious
weeds.
1t is. a we'll known fact that grain

most invariably commands a premium,
and it will be only a few years before

The one important object which the
late Wiley's controversies instilled in
TO the minds of the grain trade is that
the quality must be improved, and that
by so doing, all OF these petty q~uarrels
as to grading and dockage will be
eliminated.
They have taken this matter up in
various localities, and they are sue

DRINK QUESTION IN EUROPE
Thomas Edison, Noted inventor, Re-.
turns From Extended Trip and
Tells Of Liquor Situation.

The New York Times recently pub
lished an extended interview with
Mr. Thomas A. Edison upon his OBJ
servations in Europe, where he had
been travelling. Among other things
MI. Edison discussed the drink ques.
ton in France and Germany, tho
countries where a certain class of re
formers" tell US there is no drink
evil, because the people all drink
beer and wine.
Mr.. Edison took a wholly other
view of the matter. He said:
Germany eats far too much. but
she drinks with a more reckless alb
surdity than she eats. Her tremen-
dous consumption of beer, wine and
high alcoholic elders is appalling. It
hurts her people mentally and phys
ically and hurts the nation econom-
ically.
Both France and Germany drink
too much alcohol. French wine Is
said to be less harmful-some even
call it good-than the beverages Of
other countries, because of its low
content of alcohol. But I noted that
the ordinary Frenchman takes nearly
a quart. or. very likely, a full quart.
of this beverage before he stops. The
alcohol is more diluted by the liquid
which contains it, but at the same
time his quart of low alcoholic wine
gives him as much straight alcohol as
three or four drinks of our whisky
give an American topper.
THE same thing, in a greater or
less degree, is true of German beer.
The German drinkers get a good deal
of alcohol in the course of it's con-
sumption, although 1t contains but
four per cent. The effect upon the
nation is a slow deterioration, as
against the quick results. which the
lrishman. for instance, gets with his
hard drinking of potheen.
But l don't know but the one Is
practically as bad as the other; both
are very bad; and l may say this al
though l saw no drunkenness upon
the continent. They spread their al
cohol over a long time and absorb it
In a highly diluted form, but, while 1t
does not madden them into sudden
frenzies, it has its sad effects Of
n'rite as great Importance. The con
t!nent, as a whole, is not intoxicated.
but stupefied by alcohol, and l cannot
see that the effect of this upon the
human system. brain and body. is
likely to be any better than that CT
quick drinking and more apparent
drunkenness.
Another thing which ! noted with
A real distress. In America we do
not, to anv great extent, have liquor

our young are nor taught alcoholism

BAD EFFECT ON TREES
Road %surfaclng, So Common In THIS
Country and Europe, Shown to
Be Injurious.

The tarring Of the roads has come
to be a common practice in this coun-
try and in Europe, especially In the
neighborhood Of cities where the auto
mobile traffic has been heaviest. A
few years ago the French botanist. DR..
Gatin, made a study of the trees along
the roadway in the Bots de Boulogne
in Paris to find whether the treatment
given the roads had any influence upon
the vegetation. This examination
brought out the fact that the trees
that had received the dust from such
roads were much affected; their
growth was stunted, the leaves small,
shriveled up, and became spotted. In
Investigations made subsequently he
tried to find out whether there were
not other effects upon more deep
lying parts. and gave special atten-
ton to the catalpa, or "Indian beam"
as it Is called in this country.
Comparing the twigs Of normal trees
with those of affected trees. all hav.
ing been cut of on the LIST Of July. he
found that those on the normal trees
were considerably larger at the base.
The reduction in the affected trees is
particularly confined to the woody lay.
ers, as the bark is of the same thick
ness on all the twigs, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. The wood cells are
much smaller, whereas the layers i'm
mediately under the skin are develop
ed much more in the trees attacked by
tar dust. Specimens gathered in the
autumn showed more important differ.
ences. In the normal trees the twigs
had the usual deposits Of reserve
starch, whereas in the trees grow.
ing along the tarred roads 10 starch
was present.
Other trees showed parallel effects.
Thus the black locust and the one-leaf
locust, whether collected in the early
summer or in the autumn, showed un.
favorable effects upon the twigs and
leaves when the trees were showered
with dust from the tarred roads. The
corky layers Of the bark developed ir-
regularly, and the starch was less
abundant than normally. Finally. alb.
normal cork formations appeared upon
the veins of the leaves of pelargenium
and in the leaf stalks of sycamore and
chestnut trees.
These effects upon the growth of the
trees, and especially the inhibition OF
the starch formation, explain why 1t
Is that the effects of road tarring have
not been observed soon after the ap.
plication of the tar. The injurious ef-
feet upon a tree is cumulative. For
two or three seasons the tree can put
forth new shoots at the expense of re.
serve food of previous years; but grad.
ually the noxious tar dust brings about
the u~nfavorable symptoms. If some
thing ere to be introduced as a sub.
stitute for tarring, it would again be
several years before we could be quite
sure that it did not have an undesir.
able effect upon the vegetation Of our
parks and roadsides.

A SEED PLAT
How to Select and Grow Your Own
Seed. .. 81

8ooos s u
(By N. A. Carleton, U. 9. csrealIst.)
To start the seed plat, ask your state
agronomist or some reliable seed COM
pany what variety will do best in your
soil and climate. Barley will not run
out" II careful attention 10 given to se-
lecting your seed every year. after
you have 1t started.
You should get q number Of your
neighbors to SOW the same variety
and keep it pure so that enough barley
will be raised in your vicinity to en-.
ploy a thresher on barley-alone 80 that
it will not become mixed with other
grain. This will pay you. as entire
carlcads of the same good variety al.
ways bring a premium.
Select Seed Yourself.
You can improve your own barley
year by year. Go through the large
field just before harvesting, and Sc
lect all Of the best individuals plants
that can be quickly obtained, keeping
in mind good stooling, large heads and
vigorous. healthy plants, without rust
or smut. Continue selecting until q
sufficient number Of bundles Of the
plants are obtained, which, when
threshed. will give seed enough for
sowing an acre of ground. or more
II the farmer wishes a larger plat.
This selected grain can be threshed
simply by a fail or by tramping or
beating inside Of a bag or If the seed
selection should become a regular Gus
tom. which it ought to be, there should
be on every farm, or in every neigh
borhood, a small one or two horse
power thresher, which can be VI by
a gasoline engine, the cost Of which
for both thresher and engine should
not exceed 5000.
Sowing the Seed Plat.
The seed from these bundles is to
be used for sowing the seed plat,
which should be set apart separate
from any of the fields and kept thor
oughly protected, even fenced II neces-
sary. A new location should be select
ed each season. Just before harvest
ing this seed plat. the very best plants
should be selected from the plat In
the manner before described, and the
seed of these choice plants should be
used the following season for the
seed plat. All the remainder Of the
seed from the seed plat should then
be used for sowing the general crop
next season.
