Barley at 60c per bushel will profit
ably! compete with wheat at s1.O0.
Were it not for the sustaining influ-
ence of the high prices for mailing
barley, it would compete with oats,
but as it is the crop of barley for 1915
brought 1922. 500, 100000. The price Of
barley is now s120 to $3.50 per bushel,
but taking s1.3O as basis, the 1916
crop of 18O,O00.O00 bushels, would
bring s234,000,000.
Yields of 40 to so bushels of barley
per acre are not uncommon and as
Just feed value this means a 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

and good yield of mailing barley

THE VALUE OF BARLEY.
National Crop improvement Servics.l

National Crop Improvement Sersics.l
In the United States and Canada.
barley is used as feed for farm ami
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
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 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 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.

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

CORN ROOT WORM
200,000,000 Blu, Lost to Corn Crop
Annually by This Pest.


National Crop Improvement Service.l
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.
