q s. J.. :
Prof. Hansen of State College
recommends the planting Of prose- in
fields which remain wet too long for
the raising Of the crops in the fields
where the usual grain crep shows
signs of. failure. Prose- may be sown
up to the first of July, although any
time during the first half of June is
probably better. Prose- is large
seeded millet' says Professor Hansen,
and it is an excellent food for both
man and beast-in fact it is staple
food for millions of human beings
from India northward to the dry parts
of Asia and thru Mongolia, China and
extending westward into Russia. It
may be sown with press drill and
cut like any other small grain. For
tablesuse the hulling may be done
with fifty cent coffee mill and ten
cent sieve. The best prose- plant in
my opinion, is the white variety
which brought from Siberia in 1918
the kernel is large and easily
hulled. The seed weighs 60 pounds
and requires go days or less for ma
turity. The best rate Of seeding is
not fully standardized, but in most
cases probably IL pounds per acre are
sufficient. South Dakota farmers who
have experimental with prose- have
produced 300. fold. -

Irrational Crop Improvement se-vics.l
A lot of well-meaning folks think
that just because certain materials
are left-overs from the manufacture
OF food for humans, that it is waste"
and of no value for stock feed Nothing
is further from the truth. In very
many cases, the so-called "offal'' left
after the manufacture of -four, malt
Ing, corn products, breakfast foods,
etc., are the best of stock feeds, and
can be bought economically and fed to
bring profit to the farmer The man
who turns up his nose at the thought
OF combining by-pEoducts with silage
and other low-priced meat producing
foods, is behind the times and usually
fails to show even interest on his mon
ey at the end of the year. Feeding
whole grain, whether it be corn,
wheat, rye or oats, is wasteful and Is
robbing man of his rightful preroga-
tiye-that of taking that part of all
grain adapted to his needs. 1t is easy
to find out the protein content of any
article, or mixture, of stock feedstuffs
now on the market, and it is merely a
matter of the farmer figuring out the
worth of the foods on their nourishing
power and then to purchase that
which will give him the most econom-
fcal feed. In practically all states, all
feedstuffs must be labeled with their
food content-for those who wish to
see, the facts are printed.

In 1915 we raised nearly $4,000. 600
bushels on 100000 acres. We did not
fare so well in 1916 on account of the
bad season: On seven and one half
million acres we raised 1S1, ,O0O, 900
bushels. The price of barley will war
rant large increase in the acreage
this year. Forty-eight million bushels
of barley were matted and about 25..
100000 Of that 4S,0oO.OO0 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. II any, lost thereby.
The season for planting barley Il
one week late. and therefore, barley
can be put in to advantage up to the
10th Of May, and perhaps the 18th. Il
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 q field Of corn
and great deal less risk. II you. are
short Of labor on your farm IL win nay
you to put in some barley.
If you put in all Of your crops ana
still have some land idle, both oats
and barley can be sown for hay or,
green feed which will be immenseIv
valuable this year.

Not nearly enough attention is given
to getting the uniform size of seed
grain, especially is this true in barley,
where it is important that the germ

same day. Therefore, the kernels
should be of the same size and weight.
The very largest should perhaps be
removed as. well as the smaller ones,
leaving the seed plump and uniform.
