BARLEY VS.. WHEAT.

National Crop Improvement SeryIce.l
Barley at 60c per bushel will profit
ably compete with wheat at s1.00.
Were it not for the sustaining inf1u-
ence of the high prices for mailing
barley, it would compete with oats,
but as it is the crop of barley for 1915
brought $122,5OO,OO000. The price of
barley is now $3.50 to $3.50 per bushel.
but taking s13O as a basis, the 1916
crop of 1SO,OO0,000 bushels, would
bring $234,0O0,000.
Yields of 40 to so bushels of barley
per acre are not uncommon and as
just feed value this means hand
some return to the grower. But in adj
dition to this, there is always the in
centive of raising a good crop of SUI
perior barley that can be sold for
mailing purposes, at advanced prices,
and a good yield of mailing barley
will hold it's own with any other crop.

BARLEY NEXT TO CORN.
National Crop Improvement servlce.I


Barley has a feeding value next to
corn. Indeed some feeders place it
ahead of corn for pig food and at the
present prices, barley will make as
much and more profit than wheat The
wheat crop has now gone to the
jury" We cannot do much more about
wheat but we have two or three weeks
yet in order to put all of our acreage
remaining into barley.
Barley is more profitable than oats.
In fact, very few farmers make any
money out of oats under the best cir
cumstances and very few barley far
mers ever lose money on barley.
There is always the fascination Of get
ting a fancy price for fancy barley,
and although less than one per cent
of all grains are used for mailing pur-
poses, the additional price which it
gives to barley over oats always
makes money for the farmers. While
perhaps one per cent of the grain
crop is used in brewing, the loss of
feed value is much smaller because
fully one half goes back to dairy far
mers in the form of dried grains and
other by-products, which for feed pur-
poses Is among the best available.

CORN ROOT WORM
200,0Oo,o00 Blu. Lost to Corn Crop
Annually by This Pest.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement Service
The damage done to corn in the
corn belt is estimated to be 100000
900 bushels annually. In our mad
scramble to get corn into the ground
this year, we do not want to overlook
this tremendous waste. Next to poor
seed corn, the corn root worm is the
greatest source of loss to corn. The
remedy is the rotation of crops. Never
grow more than two crops of corn con-
secutively on the same ground. If you
had corn root worm bad last year and
it is too late to put in anything else,
you had better change to barley. Your
scotsman can still furnish you with
some excellent seed barley. If you do
put in corn on that land, be careful to
give your land more than usual
preparation. The time is late and we
will have to bend every energy to
plant our corn crop.

THE VALUE OF BARLEY.
National Crop Enforcement Service:

National Crop Improvement Service,
In the n.ted states anC Cana0a,
barley is used as a feed for farm A.1i-
mails, less than one-third being used
for mailing. A limited amount is used
in the preparation Of breakfast cereals
and for pearled barley. "Our farmers
are learning the value of barley as a
part ration for dairy cattle and young
stock and much more will be used as
animal food in the future says Pro
fessor r. A. Moore, the greatest bar
ley breeder in the world.
In many states barley is quite gen.
orally grown as a hay and feed for
horses. When used as hay it is cut
in the milk stage shortly after heading
and cured like timothy and blue grass.
We think that the hay phase of barley
this year is very important because all
acreage that has never been planted
to other crops or that will need re-
planting for any reason, could be put
into barley at clear profit.
When the grain is used as feed,
it is either fed whole or the kernels
crushed by passing between rollers.
If finely ground the gluten therein
makes a sticky mass as soon at it is
brought in contact with moisture and
it is not then readily masticated or di-
gested. Only limited amount of bar
ley is exported from the United States
and the export consists largely of a
mixture Of varieties as feed.

"Dry Farming" Needed Everywhere

National Crop Improvement Servcs.]
When we say "dry farming" we i'm
mediately begin to think of the west
ern plains where the rainfall is de-
ficient. We all admit that they should
take unusual pains in conserving their
moisture.
Well we ought to be ashamed OF
ourselves in the humid territory.
When comes along a year like this,
we think we are terribly abused and
yet in any of this territory we have
had more rain than Western Kansas
and Nebraska gets any year.
Therefore, let us take dry farming
methods to ourselves. Because in
some years the rain comes when we
want it, is no excuse for neglecting
conservation of moisture.
What is this dry farming? Let us
take it up with the clubs and make it
an institute subject. Let us get our
best farmers to agree to practice it..
There is no drought year in the corn
belt which does not have more moist
ure than necessary. if conserved, to
raise a crop of corn.

BY-PRODUCT STOCK FEEDS.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
A lot of well-meaning folks think
that just because certain materials
are left-overs from the manufacture
of food for humans, that it is waste"
and of no value for stock feed. Nothing
is further from the truth. In very
many cases, the so-called "offal" left
after the manufacture of flour, malt
ing, corn products, breakfast foods,
ETC., are the best of stock feeds, and
can be bought economically and fed to
who turns up his nose at the thought
of combining by-products with silage
and other low-priced meat producing
foods, is behind the times and usually
fails to show even interest on his mon
ey at the end of the year. Feeding
whole grain, whether it be corn,
wheat, rye or oats, is wasteful and is
rObbing man of his rightful preroga-
tive-that of taking that part of all
grain adapted to his needs. 1t is easy
to find out the protein content of any
article, or mixture, of stock feedstuffs
now on the market, and it is merely
matter of the farmer figuring out the
worth Of the foods on their nourishing
power, and then to purchase that
which will give him the most econom-
ical feed In practically all states. all
feedstuffs must be labeled with their
food contention those who wish to
see, the facts are printed.

ROTATION LEASES.
National Crop Improvement Service. ]

National Crop Improvement Servce.1
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro-
tect the people as we'll as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be COM
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that. but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain a larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed The colleges and expert
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact,
all of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.

BARLEY YIELDS.
National Crop Improvement Service. ]

National Crop Improvement Servlce.l
Regarding the best yields of bar
ley, we will say that this is rather a
difficult thing to give because the
yield sometimes depends more upon
the threshing record. However, the
average yield Of pedigreed barley of
members of the Wisconsin Expert
ment Association was in 1913, 81 bush
els, 1914, 1913 bushels, 1915, 375 bush
els. The yield for 1915 is the average
from over $50 members reporting.
Some of the highest ones are as fol-
lows: so, 81, Sc. SIS, So and As bushels.
at is impossible to state what has
been the highest yield in Wisconsin,
but | think some Of these yields for
last year. which was very good bar
ley season, are quite reasonable. but
do not doubt though that there may be
larger yields than these, but I have
no knowledge Of them. J. Gar

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD
AS a Bread Cereal It Is Little Used.
AS An Animal Food II Is Of
Great Value.
National Crop Improvement Service.


For many centuries barley, the
corn" of holy writ, was used as a
bread cereal, but it has practically
gone out of use, except that Norway
and Sweden use it in their peculiar
bread disks, which are about the size
and shape of a photograph record.
Barley in itself does not make 2
a good bread flour and could be ut
lized only by mixing it with wheat.
something which the American miller
considers dissertation of his shrine. It
has a peculiar flavor and is just as diff
ferent from wheat bread, as either
corn or rye.
But as a stock feed, it has many
merits. AS the kernels are too hard for
some animals to relish, it may be
crushed by passing it between rollers.
If finely ground, the gluten makes
q sticky mass as soon as it is wet,
and this peculiar property makes it
difficult to make it into good bread. It's
main use In the American kitchen has
been to use it as pearled barley in
soups. It is used some in breakfast
food, through a mailing process, but
unless we as American people are on
Il e verge of starvation, we will never
use barley as regular diet

KILL THE WEEDS,
National Crop Improvement Service. ]

National Crop Improvement ServIce.l
Spring blowing, or disking, as soon
as the weed seeds have terminated, is
usually a profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after blowing;
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time of the termination of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de-
scruction of weeds before the crop is
planted. Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during it's grow
ing period can thus be saved."-

Tanning and Grading Seed Barley
National Crop Improvement servle

INatIOnal Crop IMPROVEMENT SeFV1ce.I
Not nearly enough attention is given
to getting the uniform size of seed
grain, especially is this true in barley,
where it is important that the germ
ination should all take place on the
same day. Therefore, the kernels
should be of the same size and weight
The very largest should perhaps be
removed as we'll as the smaller ones,
leaving the seed plump and uniform.
It is true that small seeds and giant
seeds will terminate, but the plant
food contained therein will undoubted-
ly make an unevenness in the matur-
ity at harvest.

INSURE YOUR CORN
Don't Gamble With Your Corn Crop.
Test Every Ear Before Planting.
Every Weak or Dead Ear Means
Dollars Less at Harvest.
National Crop Improvement servIce.l

National Crop Improvement Serfiee.J
1t is known fact that the simple
little act Of testing all seed corn be-
lore planting will add many bushels to
the corn crop and will pay the farmer
about five times as much per hour for
his labor as will any other farm labor.
There is nothing hard about it, all
methods of testing seed corn are easy
and inexpensive. You can test the kerr
nels in blotters or "rag-doll' testers
at home, making them yourself, or
you can invest in commercial test
eT that will last for years. Your agri-
cultural college, county agent, or the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture at
Washington will be glad to give you
full particulars.
Seed testing will stop one Of these
leaks in farm practice that change
gain into loss. Figure out for yourself
how many hills the six or seven hun
dred kernels Of corn from dead or
weak ear will plant, and figure out
how your corn yield will drop if two or
three, or a dozen, or maybe fifty such
ears should get planted.
