ONE KIND OF BARLEY
The Benefit Of Establishing the Variety
Best Adapted to Soil and Climate.

The barley crop is grown Cor two
CHIEF purposes, namely, feeding and
mailing. For feeding. the grades and
market price are based largely on the
physical qualities Of cleaness and
sound ness. For brewing purposes,
however, the trade requires also uni
formity Of termination and endos-
peru reduction. Different varierles
show marked differences in the rapid
ity and efficiency of termination and
cons quent decomposition of the
starch endosperm. These properties
{ depend very largely on the shape and
size Of the kernel Two varieties may
have the same mailing ability in the
end, that is, the power to produce the
same quantities of digested starch to
