NO ELIMINATION IN TIE BARLEY
CROP

What happens to the barley the brew
ers used to buy?
What was the fate of one of the
most important grain crops of the
United States formerly used as a
foundation in the manufacture OF malt
liquors, the sptcial market for which
was, theoretically at least. destroyed
by the late passage of the Yolstead
act describing beer as an intoxicating
liquor prescribed under the eighteenth
amendment?
An investigation made here by the
Wisconsin Agriculturist shows that
there has been practically no reduc-
ton in the acreage of barley planted
since prohibition was adopted The
crop i'm the United States this year
was shown to be 10000, 900 bushels,
compared with III 100000 bushels the
year before and a five year average OF
POS. 000, 900. the reduction not being due
to any cutting down of acreage but to
an unanticipated crop failure. The
Agriculturits reports that the new
market for this grain is a contribution
to the farmer by the agricultural
schools of the midwest
Anticipating that the stoppage of the
manufacture of malt liquors would to
a great extent do away with the bar
ley market. the agricultural colleges of
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin
began a series of tests to determine
the feed value of the grain. These
tests. which have been continued in
combination for three years, have
demonstrated that barley is ultra wall
liable as a stock feeds that it contains
more protein than corn and more car
bohydrates than oats, lacking only
slightly in fat content.
In feed value, the experiments have
shown that an acre in Illinois will pro-
duce $50 pounds more actual digestIble
feed if planted to barley than If plant
ed to oats. In Indiana, the barley pro-
duces 300 pounds more feed than oats.
InIowa 246 and in Wisconsin 2S6, &C
eording to the report.
An experiment conducted by J. G..
Fuller, beef cattle expert of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture, on 20
head of Chicago steers returns a ver-
dict for barley over corn. The steers
were divided into two lots and fed an
identical ration, except that in the case
Of 10 of them crushed barley was sub
stituted for cracked corn. With the
disposing of the steers in the fall, it
was found that those fed on barley
had gained their flesh at a cost Of
S2401 per hundred pounds and those
fed on corn s27.44 cents per hundred
