still produce fair crop. IT Is
the best nurse crop we have for
clover and grasses. Maturing so
early, It is possible to mature
other crops on the land after its
removal. Barley should be sown
preferably early in September,
but in the southern part of Ken
lucky it can be sown as late as the
first of October with a reasonable
degree of safety.
Turf oats is another fall sown
crop that can be grown salts
actorily in Kentucky, especially
in the western part of the State.
The secret of success with this
crop is early sowing. If sown by
September Ist to 10th, these oats
will stand all but the most severe
winters and will yield much bet

WINTER BARLEY

In only one year out of the
last four Kentucky produced a
good corn crop. The 1911 crop
was very small, the 1913 practI-
cally failure, and 1914 promises
a smaller crop than in any of the
four years. The failure of the crop
this year following the scant crop
of last year will seriously affect
the live stock interests of the
State. Indeed it is probable that
the growth of the industry has al
ready been greatly checked.
While it is earn estly to be hop
ed that next year will be more
favorable for corn production
than the past few have been,
there is no assurance that such
will be the case. The records of
the Weather Bureau show that
dry years are just as liable to be
followed by dry years as by more
favorable conditions. In other
words, nature does not compen-
safe for dry year by wet one.
This has been pretty well illus
trated right here in Kentucky.
Although corn will undoubted-
ly always remain the most i'm
portant feed crop of the State,
the repeated failures in recent
years show that it is a mistake
to depend upon it so absolutely,
as has been the case in the past.
There are other crops not affect
ed by summer drouths that can
be grown in Kentucky and prove
profitable feeding crops. One
such crop is winter barley.
Winter barley is a practically
sure crop in Kentucky if sown
reasonably early. 1t will make a
yield of from 80 to 60 bushels per
acre on good farm land and in
feeding value it is about the
equal of corn pound for pound.
In fact it more nearly approaches
corn in composition than any
other of our cereals. Winter
barley natures about the first of
June in the central part of Ken
lucky, and is available for teed
the earliest of all grain crops.
Winter barley furnishes excellent
fall pasture and can be pastured
considerably in the spring and

ST. LOUIS PLAN FIXES
COTTON CROP PROBLEM!
Government to Be Told Not to
Worry, But Just to Start Fed
eral Reserve Banks.

ST. LOUIS. August 2c.-Plans for pro-
lection OF the surplus cotton crop Of the
south were perfected today by a commit
tee appointed yesterday at a meeting of
the st. Louis Business Mems League.
The plan was submitted to the st.
Louis Clearing House Association. The
bankers individually had approved.
Festus J. Wade, president of the clear
ing house. will report to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo Monday that the gov
ernment need not concern itself with
financing the cotton crop. He will.
however. urge that the st. Louis federal
reserve bank be opened as soon as pos
sible in order to facilitate the working
of the st. Louis plan.
The plan adopted by the st. Louis COM
mittee provides that merchants in the
cotton states who have dealings with St.
Louis wholesalers or manufacturers may
store the surplus cotton OF their districts
In their own warehouses as far as possi-
bic, and send the warehouse receipts to
the st. Louis wholesalers and manufac-
turers. The st. Louis men then will take
the warehouse receipts to the st. Louis
banks. and with these as security bor-
row money to be sent to the cotton
loan at the rate Of SIS bale.
All surplus cotton for which warehouse
facilities cannot be provided In the cot
ton districts viii be stored, as far as
possible, in st. Louis. The committee.
meanwhile, will ascertain how much
warehouse space can be obtained here.
