BEST KIND OF BARLEY
Common Rowed Variety Has
Been Found Preferable.
Plant Is Shallow Feeder, It's Roots
Growing Near Surface Of soil-No
Crop Responds More Quickly
to Good TiIlage.
CBy R. A. STONED

Barley commonly is classified as
six-rowed, four-rowed and two-rowed.
There are bearded, beardless and null
less varieties under these classified
lions and there are also fall and
spring varieties as in wheat. The
term variety is used by seedsmen,
plant breeders and farmers in wider
and less rigid sense than that APP
piled by the botanist. Races of bar
ley, the type of which has been mate
rally changed by careful selection or
cross breeding for o period of years,
in common practice are designated as
varieties" Where a superior barley
has been developed from single seed
and carried through course of sew
eral years breeding by selection or
hybridization and selection and rec
ord kept of the same, it is known as a
pedigree barley.
Experiments with two-rowed barley
through several years breeding work,
clearly prove that the farmer, gener-
ally speaking, can not get the returns
from this crop that can be secured
with the six-rowed variety. 1t is not
as uniform in breeding as the six
rowed barley. The straw is frail and
lodges easily, thereby injuring the
quality of the grain and reducing the
yield.
Barley is a shallow feeder, its roots
growing near the surface of the soil.
1t does not feed so extensively as oats
or wheat, therefore it requires a well
subdued, mellow, rich soil with fertil-
ity near the surface. No crop responds
more readily to good tillage and the
prudent farmer soon finds that it will
amply repay him to put extra cult
walton with disk and fine tooth harrow
upon the land in preparing good
mellow seed bed. 1t is useless to try
to grow barley upon poor sandy lands
or worn out soils, neither does it do
well on ground that has been newly
cleared, or where the land is in poor
filth or not well drained.

cHALcIs FLY HURTS ALFALFA
insect Ruins Seeds Which II Enters
Dean of Kansas College Tells Of
Preventive Measures.

"For the past seven or eight years
Kansas growers of alfalfa or clover
seed have suffered considerable losses
from the damage OF the clover chal-
els fy," says George A. Dean, pro-
lessor of entomology in the Kansas
state agricultural college. AT the
present time there seems to be no
specific remedy or cure. but the ex-
termination of this pest would be
aided If few simple directions were
consistently followed"
The clover chalcis fly, or as it is
better known, the alfalfa chalcis, is a
small, four-winged insect about one
tenth of an inch long. The adult
flies deposit their eggs in the soft,
partly grown seeds. Here the eggs
develop and the larvae feed upon the
inner portion of the seeds. At the
time when the seeds become ripe,
most of the larvae are emerging as

ERADICATING CERTAIN WEEDS
Clean Cultivation viii XIII chicory,
Dandelion and Plantains-Pre-
vent Seed Production.
CBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Chieory, dandelion, and the plan
tains, when growing in farm lands,
can be easily eradicated by clean cul-
tivation. The first two possess tap
roots and the plantains have shallow
crowns with fibrous roots, so that
none of the weeds spread rapidly
from their underground parts. In a
good farming region, especially where
a short rotation is followed, these
weeds are not much in evidence, ex-
cepting where buckthorn plantain is
seeded with clover seed. Care should
be taken that only clover seed free
from the buckthorn is sown, especially
where a crop of clover seed is to be
harvested
The handling of weeds along road
sides and fence rows is a problem in
itself. All the aforementioned weeds
are inclined to grow in such situa-
tons and their complete eradication
there is rather difficult. Usually it
does not pay to attempt complete
eradication in such situations, since
they do not spread to the adjoining
farm land If it is well farmed About
all that needs to be attempted in such
places is to prevent seed production.

HOW TO PREVENT THE RUNTS
Test Their Eating Capacity Separate
Iy and Then Feed Each Bunch
of Pigs by Themselves.

Some pigs are born runts; some are
not born runts, but for no apparent
reason grow up that way and are out
stripped by the rest of the litter. A
correspondent to an Eastern farm
paper states that this is due to the
fact that some pigs are much faster
eaters than others. Some pigs eat
and drink very slowly. The slow
eaters are invariably the runtS IL all
are fed together.
When there is marked difference
in the growth of bunch of pigs the
thing to do is to test their eating ca
pacity separately and then feed each
kind by themselves. If this rule were
followed not only with hogs, but with
other live stock, there would be few
er poorly developed animals.

By June 9Th, twenty more were up
from the one-inch depth, and nineteen
from the two-inch planting.
At the end of five years the remain
ing seed were dug up. OF the three
inch planting, onefourth grew; one
sixth of the five-inch seed; one-fourth
of the seyen-inch, and nearly one-half
of the ten-inch seed terminated.
From this it is plain that the best
way to get rid of mustard seed is
to get them within an inch or two
of the surface. so that they will germ
mate, and then kill the plants while
small.
