THE BARLEY ACREAGE

National Crop Improvement servIce.]
In 1915 we raised nearly 229 OOO, 900
bushels on 7,000.on0 acres. We did not
fare so we'll in 1916 on account of the
bad season. On seven and one half
million acres we raised 181 900, 900
bushels. The price OF barley will war
rant a large increase in the acreage
this year. Forty-eight million bushels
Of barley were matted and about 25,.
100000 OF that 100000 was sent
back in the shape of feed to the farm
AS an economic problem, it would
seem that the high price of barley for
mailing would greatly Offset any feed.
ing-value, If any, lost thereby.
The season for planting barley is
one week late, and therefore, barley
can be put in to advantage up to the
10th Of May, and perhaps the 18th. It
is generally the best farm practice to
put barley in just ahead of corn plant.
ing. There is less labor in producing
a field OF barley than a field of corn
and great deal less risk. II YOU are
short OF labor on yc;tr farm it will pay
you to put in some barley.
If you put in all of your crops and
still have some land idle, both oats
and barley can be sown for hav or
green feed which will be immensely
valuable this year.

MONEY FOR FARMERS.
(NatIsnaI ceop Improvemeut Service. ]

lHatehai Cfop Improvement Ss1Ssco.I
Many OF our farmers will not have
money enough to put in a maximum
crop. This should not be the case. OF
course, during this war excitement it
is pretty hard to get onyone to do any
thing but run around in circles, but
the greatest business problem we
have is to finance our farmers so that
they can get the maximum results for
themselves and for our community
We believe that If the banks will ask
young farmers and tenants who have
not established their credit, to make
statement regarding what they want
to do with the money, that they will
take very little risk in advancing
whatever money any farmer will In.
diligently use this year.
1t is true that the federal reserve
banks will re-discount farmers paper,
but they do 1t entirely on the credit
OF the bank asking for the re-discount.
We believe that our business men
would be very glad to pro-rate any
loss that any bank would make in ex-
tending loans to any farmer who
wants to increase the production of
his farm even though his land may be
mortgaged all that it can stand.
Especially in those counties where
county agents can advise and o. X.
the project, our bankers should have
no hesitancy in furnishing whatever
money may be required. There is very
little risk because the world is short
OF food and everything will be high
for this year and probably several
years to come.

STILL TIME TO scw RARlEv

National Crop Improvement s.-vieel
TIE seeding time Of barley should
be done later than that of oats or
spring wheat, es an early spring frost
is more detrimental to Young barley
than to other small cereals. The sea.
son is usually week later. In Canada
barley Is sown up into June, but that
is not advocated in this country. Still
the second or third week in May will
probably be safe this year.
A drill or broadcast seeder is com.
monty used and the barley ia sown
at the rate Of IL to 2 bushels tn the
acre. Where it is desirable to seed the
land down to clover and timothy, 1 to
~ bushels Of seed barley as a nurse
crop Is sufficient.

A great many of our farmers will
not plant their full acreage this year
on account of supposed shortage of

various experiment stations in the

supply of pedigreed barley and certain
kinds OF corn on hand for quick ship

Considerable complaint has been
made in the past on account of the OBJ
noxious character of the boards of
barley during harvesting and subse.
quent handling. This objection has
been largely removed since the intro
duction of the binder, self feeder at
tachments to threshing machines and
self straw stackers. There is little
danger In using the straw for feeding
or bedding for stock.

TREAT SEED POTATOES
The Prevalence Of Scab on the High.
Priced Seed Potatoes This Year
Makes It imperative That They Be
Treated With Chemicals Before
PLANTING.

VsoIAuuSs
National Crop Improvement serv'cs.]
While the operation of treating Is
comparatively simply, close attention
must be given to the direction and de-
tails followed absolutely. Your care
lessness may mean ruin of the po-
tatoes or danger to children or stock.
Simply-Be Careful.
According to your conditions and
equipment, the seed potatoes may be
treated in crates, loose in barrels or
in sacks. Treatment must be done be-
fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted.
The commonest method is to mix
one pint of formaldehyde (be sure it
Is full strength) with thirty gallons
of water. Soak the seed stock in this
solution for two hours, just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu-
ton may be reused two or three
times, if no time is lost between
patches. One of the easiest ways is to
place the solution in a barrel and
place sackful of potatoes in it at a
time.
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent
chemical to use, and will kill rhizic-
tonia as we'll as scab, but it is a dead
ly poison and must be kept where chill
dren or stock will not get it. All YES
sells used with this material should be
carefully cleaned afterwards. If you
prefer this, use four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons of
water, and soak the potatoes for an
hour and half. The powdered chemi.
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. AT.
ter treating, the potatoes should be
promptly washed in clean water until
all traces of the solution are gone, and
they they should be carefully dried,
the sooner the better.
It only takes a little time and very
little money to treat all your seed po-
tatoes by either method, and it pays
big in larger yields of better potatoes,
free from disease.

TEST BARLEY.

(Hat'sna' crss Improvement Ssvvlss.]
All seed barley should be tested for
vitality before sowing as the seed IL
quite frequently injured by heating in
tho stack or bin. If the seed is of low
vitality and does not test 90 per cent
1t should be regarded as inferior and
new seed should be purchased.

A charge of % cents will be made
for membership. This is to go into
the charity fund to provide clothing
and shoes for Hawaiian children to
keep them in school, and for food and
care where needed.
District heads, women members of
the society, will look after Hawaiians
in all parts Of the city, and whenever
any case is reported to the president
its right to charity will be investi-
gated and Immediately acted upon by
the bureau.
