BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD
AS a Bread Cereal 1t Is Little Used.
AS An Animal Food 1t Is Of
Great Value.
lNat,ona, Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement SeryIce.l
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 a
a good bread flour and could be uti.
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
a sticky mass as o as it is wet.
and this peculiar property makes It
difficult to make 1t into good bread. Its
main use in the American kitchen has
been to S it as pearled barley in
soups. 1t Is used some in breakfast
food. through a mailing process. but
unless we as American people are on
the verge OF starvation. we will
Use barley as a regular diet.

BARLEY YIELDS.
[Nationa, Crop Improvement Service

National Crop Improvement Service.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

els, 1914, 1873 bushels, 1915, 37.5 BUSH
els. The yield for 1915 is the average
from over $50 members reporting.
Some of the highest ones are as fol-
lows: 60, 81, Sc. S., SO and As bushels.

Senate and House Vote on Ad-
ministraii0n Measure.
CONFERENCE is NECESSARY
Amendments Are Expected to 8
Agreed Upon Promptly and Act i
Sent to the President.

Washington.-By overwhelming ma.
j~orities both the senate and house
passed the administration bill to raise
a war army by selective draft.
The final roll calls brought into line
behind the bill many senators and rep
r~esentatives who had fought for the
cisive defeat of volunteer amendments
in both houses. =
The senate, which had voted down
the volunteer plan, 60 to IS, passed
the bill by a vote of 81 to s.
In the house the vote against the
volunteer plan was 313 to 119 and that
by which the bill itself was passed
was 397 to "a.
Senator Harding's amendment to the
army bill, designed to permit Colonel
Roosevelt to raise four infantry divi.
sions for service in France, was adopt
ed by the senate, Sc to 81. Many
Democrats voted for it. A similar
amendment was rejected by the house.
The amendment does not specifically
mention Colonel Roosevelt, but its
purpose was we'll understood.
AS passed by the senate the meas
ure provides for the draft of men be
tween the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-seven years, while in the house
measure the age limits are fixed al
twenty-one to forty.
Wa department Is Ready.
This and lesser dis ~raDancies will be
threshed oft in conference early this
week so the bill may be in the hands
of the president as quickly as posi-.
BILE. The war department already has
completed plans for carrying it into
effect.
Both the senate and house adopted
bills just before the final roll call
which would greatly increase the pay
of enlisted men during the war. The
house provision would make their pay
$50 a month and that approved by the
senate would fix it at $29 a month.
The present pay is only SIS.
In the house, at the last moment,
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropri.
ations committee objected strenuously
to the appropriation Of 100000 car
ried in the bill for the expenses for
the army and the section finally
was eliminated. Mr.. Fitzgerald de
clared that to place this vast sum in
the hands Of the secretary of wal
would make of congress a "mere auto.
maton" and promised that if the sec.
ton were voted down the committee
would provide funds promptly in q
separate measure.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Chairman Dent Of the
military committee, who had favored
the volunteer system, all voted for the
draft bill on the final roll call. Repub
lican Leader Mann also was recorded
in the affirmative.

CORN ROOT WORM
2o0,ooo,o0o Blu. Lost to Corn Crop
Annually by This Pest.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The damage done to corn in the
cor belt is estimated to be 00,000,-
600 bushels annually. In u 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 cor
s%ecutively 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 a usual
preparation. The time is late and we
will have to bend every energy to
plant u corn crop.

So you see that 20 in all agree to put
them under ban
New Mexico's going dry.

For the North and South united now
