BARLEY NEXT TO CORN.
National Crop Improvement servIce.l

national Crop Improvement ServlceI
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
money 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 one 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.

BY-PRoDUcT STOCK FEEDS.

tNat'onai Crop Improvement ServIee.J
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 flour, 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-products 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.
tive-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 q
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-
ical feed. In practically all states, all
feedstuffs must be labeled with their
food contention those who wish to
see. the facts are printed.

ROTATION LEASES.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop improvement Servee.1
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro-
tect the people as we'll as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be COM
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy 70 talk
about compelling this and compelling
that. but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed The colleges ard expert
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact
all of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD
As a Bread Cereal 1t Is Little Ueed.
As An Animal Food It Is OF
Great Value.
National Crop Improvement ServIce.1

National Crop Improvement servIce.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 photograph record.
Barley in itself does not make
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 peculiar flavor and is just as diff
ferent from wheat bread, as either
corn or rye.
But as stock feed, it has many
merits AS the kernels are too hard for
some animals to relish, it may be
crushed by passing it bstween rollers.
If finely ground, the gluten makes
a sticky mass as soon as it is wet,
and this peculiar property makes it
difficult to make it into good bread. It's
main use in the American kitchen has
been to use Il as pearled barley in
soups. It Is used some in breakfast
food, through q mailing process, but
unless we as American people are on
the verge of starvation, we will never
use barley as regular diet.

BARLEY YIELDS.
National crop Improvement Service. ]

LNatlondt Crop Improvement ServIceJ
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
members of the Wisconsin Expert
ment Association was in 1913, 81 BUSH
els, 1914, 1873 bushels, 1915, 37.5 BUSH
els The yield for 1915 is the average
from over 260 members reporting.
Some of the highest ones are as fol-
lows: 60, 81, Sc, IS, SO and As bushels.
'1t is impossible to state what has
been the highest yield in Wisconsin,
but / think some of these yields for
last year, which was very good bar
ley season, are quite reasonable, but
do not doubt though that there may be
larger yields than these, but I have
no knowledge of them. J. Gar

TREAT SEED POTATOES
The Prevalence of Scab on the High
Priced Seed Potatoes This Year
Makes It imperative That They Be
Treated With Chemicals Before
PLANTING.
National Crop Improvement servIce.1

National Crop Improvement Servtce.I
While the operation of treating is
comparatively simply, close attention
must be given to the direction and de-
tails followed absolutely. Your care
lessness may mean ruin of the po-
tatoes or danger to children or stock.
Simply-Be Careful.
According to your conditions and
equipment, the seed potatoes may be
treated in crates, loose in barrels or
in sacks. Treatment must be done be-
fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted
The commonest method is to mix
one pint of formaldehyde (be sure it
is full strength) with thirty gallons
of water: Soak the seed stock in this
solution for two hours, just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu-
ton may be reused two or three
times, if no time is lost between
patches. One of the easiest ways is to
place the solution in barrel and
place sackful of potatoes in it at a
time.
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent
chemical to use, and will kill rhizic-
tonia as we'll as scab, but it is dead
ly poison and must be kept where chill
dren or stock will not get it. All YES
sells used with this material should be
carefully cleaned afterwards. If you
prefer this, use four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons of
water, and soak the potatoes for an
hour and half. The powdered chemi-
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. At
ter treating, the potatoes should be
promptly washed in clean water until
all traces of the solution are gone, and
they they should be carefully dried,
the sooner the better.
1t only takes little time and very
little money to treat all your seed po-
tatoes by either method, and it pays
big in larger yields of better potatoes,
free from disease.

KILL THE WEEDS.
National Crop Improvement servI

National Crop Improvement Service.l
Spring blowing, or disking, as soon
as the weed seeds have terminated, is
usually a profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after blowing;
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time of the termination Of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de-
scruction of weeds before the crop is
planted. Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during its grow
ing period can thus be saved

THE QUESTION OF LABOR
Probably the Most Serious Handicap
to Put in Maximum Crops This
Year Is the Scarcity OF
Farm Labor.

Farm Labor.
National Crop Improvement servIce.l
Many good crop will be ruined be-
cause farmers cannot get labor at the
right time. There are two times OF
the year when more labor is absolute
ly necessary-at seed time and at har-
vest. While our farmers need men at
other times of the year, these are the
two crucial periods.
AS it is to the interest of every per-
son living in this county to produce
bumper crop this year, we must do all
we can to help the farmer and per-
haps the most important thing we can
do, is to find him right help Of the
right class.
There are three classes of farm help
ID The regular farm hands who are
going to be rather scarce. (2) There
are, however, a great many men who
work in factories, in wholesale houses,
drive teams and other occupations
who could possibly be spared during
the rush seasons. 1t is the duty of the
commercial clubs and manufacturers
to make list of these men and offer
them for detached service when ur-
gently needed. There is a third class
of labor which is very efficient and
that is men of affairs who have been
raised on farms who will volunteer
to help the farmers out during the
rush. This is the greatest work our
business men can accept to show their
patriotism at this time.

INSURE YUUR CORN
Don't Gamble With Your Corn Crop.
Test Every Ear Before Planting.
Every Weak or Dead Ear Means
Dollars Less at Harvest.

Every Weak or Dead Ear Means
Dollars Less at Harvest.
National Crop Improvement ServIcs.l
1t is known fact that the simple
little act of testing all seed corn be-
fore planting will add many bushels to
the corn crop and will pay the farmer
about five times as much per hour for
his labor as will any other farm labor.
There is nothing hard about it, all
methods of testing seed corn are easy
and inexpensive. You can test the kerr
nels in blotters or "rag-doll" testers
at home, making them yourself, or
you can invest in commercial test
er that will last for years. Your agri-
cultural college, county agent, or the
U. S. Department of Agriculture at
Washington will be glad to give you
full particulars.
Seed testing will stop one of these
leaks in farm practice that change
gain into loss. Figure out for yourself
how many hills the six or seven hun
dred kernels of corn from dead or
weak ear will plant, and figure out
how your corn yield will drop if two or
three, or dozen, or maybe fifty such
ears should get planted.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
estimates that the farmers of the ma

because of their inability to market
their produce at certain times of the

bad roads and it is of much concern
