THE VALUE OF BARLEY.

lNatiora Crop Improvement Service.
In the United States and Canada,
barley is used as a feed for farm ami.
mails, less than onc-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
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.

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
Plantinu.

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 pc.
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 il
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.
tion 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 a sackful of potatoes in 1t at a
time.
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent
chemical to use, and will kill rhiZic
tonia as well 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 a half. The powdered chemi-
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. AZ
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 pc.
tatoes by either method, and it pays
big in larger yields Of better potatoes,
free from disease.

HENRY FORD ON THE WAR

In an interview in the New York
Times, the first one in many months,
Henry Ford made it clear that what
ever views he may have once enter
tanned with regard to war, he is now
fully converted~to the belief that the
struggle must go on until German au-
tocracy is crushed
eve must prepare to go to the
limit for the struggle" said Mr.. Ford.
without letting hatred creep into our
hearts, every man, woman and child
should put all energy into crushing
militarism For once and all war is
now discredited in the whole. world
and the great thing to be reached is
the destruction of war for the future.
81 cannot see that any great harm
has come in waiting until now with
our war preparations. Things have
moved so fast in a mechanical way
since this war began that many things
that were new three years ago are out
of date. We are making 100000 air.
plane cylinders of steel for the gov
eminent, to be delivered at the rate
of 1000 a day. We have just devel-
oped way of making a cylinder Of
solid steel cheaply. We are glad to
help the government and would help
even more if called on"
Asked how the war would affect the
work at his plant, Mr.. Ford said:
1--WE will not ask exemptions for any
of our men. We will save the"places
for those who are drafted If we are
in business when the war is over,
they will be taken back"
Then reverting to national questions
he said, 81 do not believe that Presi-
dent Wilson will miss any opportuni-
ty to bring about peace that will be
honorable and have a fair chance of
being permanent Some good usually
can be found coming out of the worst,
and believe this war will impress us
with the fact that we are the most
wasteful nation on the globe and that
