THE BARLEY ACREAGE.


In 1915 We raised nearly 229, 900, 900
bushels on 100000 acres. We did not
fare 50 we'll in 1915 on account Of the
bad season. On seven and one half
million acres we raised 100000
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 g..
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
mating 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. II
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 field Of corn
and a great deal less risk. II you are
short of labor on your 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 hay or
green feed which will be immensely
valuable this year.

MONEY FOR FARMERS.
National Crop Improvement Service.

lNattonaI Crop Improvement SeTSce.]
Many of our farmers will not have
money enough to put in maximum
crop. This should not be the case. or
course, during this war excitement 1t
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 it 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. K.
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.

GIVE MASK BALL TO
BOOST PUBLIC LIBRARY
Library League of John Marshall
Night High School Have Plan to
Raise Funds.

Taking their first practical step
towards procuring funds for free
public library, the Public Library
League of the John Marshall Night
High School will give a public mask
ball at the Blues Armory on January
1T. The free use of the armory has
been granted the league by the Ad-
ministrative Board, and the co-opera-
ton promised by organizations and
leading citizens Justify the prediction
that large sum will be raised.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the committees and ladies
prominent in the public welfare work
of the city have been asked to be
patrons of the occasion.
Representing over 1000 students
and former students of the John
Marshall Night High School, the
league Is the originator OF the scheme
to first get the books, then the build
ing: believing that once a start has
been made on these lines, the ulti-
mate consumation of real public IL
brary will be comparatively easy. The
school has never failed in any OF its
undertakings, and the various COM
mittees, including more than 200 pu
pills, believe that with the public ap-
peal behind the project, the first real
public effort directly In behalf OF
public library VIII be a success.
