BARLEY NEXT TO CORN.

National Crop Improvement Serviss.]
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
none 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 n 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.

o r LABOR ON FARMS.

National Crop Improvement Servtce.]
On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April,
May and in August, September and
October. The rest Of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be
kept during the year to take care Of
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction Of
Thomas Cooper, now director Of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation 1t was found
that when the crops are diversified,
the horse labor Is better distributed.
There lie less work for the horses in
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm, and there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on the all-grain farm.

Somebody Must Take the Initiative
Are You Willing to Serve?
National Crop Improvement servIce.1
Many agricultural plans are like a
sky rocket. They make a fuss going
up and blow up a few stars and
descend like the stick. The reason Of
this is because few men can make a
continued effort. They will get up a
little scheme but at the first discour'
agement, their energy wanes and
there is nothing to show for their &C.
tivity.
Yet It cannot be said that this sort
Of energy is wasted. Like the over
tapping waves of a tide, public opin'
ion is being formed. Things which
were ignored when crop Improvement
began its propaganda, are now adopt
ed as a matter of course.
Local leadership is the weakest
spot in this work. Somebody must
take the initiative but it is not neces-
sary that one man should undertake
the whole thing. In every community
there are bankers, commercial clubs,
farmers clubs, oranges, Institutes, mill
ers, grain dealers and public lead
ers of various kinds who can unite
their efforts on. a few specific things

to make a list of these men and oher

PREVENTING RUST AND sMurs.

Barley is comparatively free rom

but considerable has been done IN

before putting in the barley because
it will cool off the water. Boiling wa.

which can be added at intervals whlcn

mometer Is correct. You ought to get
yours tested at the creamery or the

After this treatment the grain
should be spread upon the barn heor
to cool before sowing. It should be
sewn the same day o. not later than
the day after treatment, for If you
don't look out it will swell and start
to sprout and 1t will be hard to get
it through the seeder.
In the treatment for smut, formal
dehyde is the most desirable as it Is
easiest to handle. Smut is not so very
bad in barley this year, which Is for
