FISH DESTROYED
BY LONG DROUGHT
Commissioner Lee Finds Deplorable
Conditions-Increa In Game

1t will require at least ten years
close cooperation by the Virginia ant
Federal departments of fisheries to
restock the mountain streams of Vir.
ginia with fish destroyed when the
waters dried during the recent
drought, Commissioner of Fisheries
| w. Mcdonald Lee declared
| During the last six weeks | have
travelled at least 1900 miles OF noun.
tain streams and have found nearly
900 miles of these courses baked
dry" the commissioner said.
The region most seriously affected
lies between Charlottesville and Lee
county on the Tennessee border, en-
bracing nearly the whole of the great
southwest Virginia section. LOCAL.
ties lying among the clouds at the
tops of the Allghenies were not hurt
by the drought, as precipitation was
more general there. These localities
comprise most sections of Bath and
Highland counties.
Mr.. Lee said wildcats, owls, hawks
and buzzards sat beside the slowly
drying pools and pulled choice trout
from their last retreats. County folk,
he said, almost subsisted on these
fish, which a few months ago gave
zest to angling with their game tao
tics on the line.
In some sections of the country,
game wardens assisted fisheries men
in transferring stranded fish from
the shallow pools to the waters of
larger streams nearby. In this way
thousands of choicest mountain trout
were saved from destruction, the
commissioner said.
In contrast to the defamation of
fish life, Mr.. Lee pointed out that the
drought was very favorable to the
of animal life. Deer,
squirrels, rabbits, quail, pheasants
and turkeys have increased in great
due to lack of torrential
rains and chill nights.

Value of Barley as
Feed Is Overlooked
Makes an Excellent Grain
for Live Stock.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Barley should be more widely known
In the northern and western states, adj
vises the United States Department Of
Agriculture. saying 1t Is sound eco
Monies to increase the barley acre
age for the purpose of producing feed
for live stock Before the law pro-
hibiting the manufacture of beer con-
tanning more than very small per-
centage of alcohol was enacted, the
best grades of barley went TO malt
houses and only inferior grain re-
manned on the farm to be fed. This
prevented the farmers of the Missis-
sippi valley from realizing its full
value as a feed. Even now the guam
tity Of feed produced per acre Is not
appreciated by the average farmer.
Barley Is an excellent grain feed for
stock. being almost equal to corn.
Then, too, 1t completes with corn in
but few places, as it Is mostly grown
outside the limits of profitable corn
culture. 1t produces more pounds to
tic acre Llldn OUlS Vi WlkCdts Al ACNSo-
sary 1t can be seeded later than spring
wheat, and hence interferes little with
the wheat acreage In the spring-wheat
region. 1t supplies the needed grain
feed necessary for the increase of live
stock, which sometimes must come
with diversified farming in the areas
where grain farming is now the only
enterprise.
The best lands for barley are we'll
drained soils that are not sandy. The
best returns are obtained from early
seeding. The best methods Of prep
aration are fall blowing in the humid
spring region, disked corn ground on
the Great Plains, and summer fallow
in sections where the crop is winter
seeded. The best method of seeding is
with drill. and the best method of
harvesting is with binder. The grain
should not be threshed too close, as
broken kernels lower the market value.
The best yielding varieties are Ten
nessee Winter In the humid-winter re-
gion, Manchurian and Oderbrucker in
the handspring region, and Coast
Hannchen, Club Mariout, White
Smyrna, Chevalier, and Trebi in the
semiarid region.
