what was up to, for this man was a
very particular friend of his, so | said
to Mrs. Deter. Bring in pan of ap-
pies" l knew she would have to go
to the cellar, SO she would hear any
thing that was going on outside.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped
out on the porch she heard someone
in the corral and she screamed for me
to get my gun and come out; that
there was someone. in the corral steal
ing something.
When l reached the corral the
marouders were just leaving and |
took a shot at them. The guide got
away, but l stayed with my man. He
concealed himself behind fence, and
when | got too close to him he bound
ed out into the alley and went into
high and | gave him another shot to
help him along. Next morning |
measured the distance between his
tracks and they measured from s to
8 feet.

And lastly, he explained, it is our
earliest maturing crop, ready for
the binder by the first of July, finish
ing it with high or flood water and en-
abling us to save our late water for
later maturing crops of alfalfa.
Barley should be seeded as early in
the spring as the soil can be worked
Seventy five pounds of first-cIass seed
will make a good stand When fully
headed out and in bloom it should
have it last-a light irrigating- and
no more water will be needed. Too
much water at any time, especially
on rich soil, will make too rank a
growth and the first rain or wind
storm, will blow it down, making it
impossible to harvest the crop

DETER TELLS The HOW AND
WHY OF THE SHOOTING

l noticed an article in your last
weeks paper stating that l took a
couple of shots at someone who
brought a burro into my corral
supposedly to load up with chickens.
This / want to correct. The whole
thing is Just a case of going snip
ing" and my friend, the author OF
the story, was the sack holder while
I drove the snipes away. The fact
is, sent that party to investigate a
certain thing which never happened,
so it proved to be a case of holding
the sack while the snipes were being
driven.
Now, these are the facts OF the
case: NJ friend made the remark
that he would get even with me, so he
knew had bought a little 2-year old
Jersey heifer and she had come fresh.

HOTCHkISS MAN SAYS WE
SHOULD RAISE MORE BARLEY

Barley should have a very much
larger place in our farms here in
Delta county than it now has" said
Theo Polling, Rogers Mesa rancher,
in conversation Friday. In our
own experience" he continued, ''it
has been one of the most profitable
crops grown for the past several
years. First of all it is a very heavy
yielder under favorable conditions
10 to rs bushels per acre not being
unusual Our heaviest yield four
years ago was 81 bushels per acre,
being the highest by two bushels ever
recorded by the State Experiment Sta
ton of Indiana"
Ordinarily" said Mr.. Polling, the
yield would be from so to so bushels
per acre. 1t thrives best on a rich,
well prepared, moist soil, and as it
is a shallow rooted plant, one should
be careful not to let it dry out during
the growing season"
Further reasons for growing this
crop, Mr.. Polling explained, are its
feeding value. When ground fine it is
equal to corn, pound for pound. As
ration for milk cowa and fattening
hogs, it is unsurpassed by any other
grain.

and that l thought great deal of her;
so my friend made the remark that
he would like to take her out of my
corral, substituting some poor old COW
with a band around her reading, "a
Six Gallon Cow" But he failed to
get the COW.
Now" l said, 81 must help my
friend" so | proposed that a burro
would do just as we'll l furnished
the burro, also a guide to assist my
friend. The time was set for the
pulling of the stunt, and l unlocked
my gate and put the halter on the
Jersey so there would be no trouble.
But the new Jersey was a little
SHORTY about strangers and when
he went to get her she backed into a
corner and snorted a time or two and
he backed out. Just few minutes
before the time came to pull off the
stunt, Mr.. and Mrs Greenwood came
in to spend the evening and l was
ready with my gun in hand. But
was afraid to let Mr. Geenwood know
