Barley Production
Shows Big Increase
Becoming of More Impor-
lance as Feed for Stock.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
In 1923 the production of barley in
the United States was more than 100
per cent greater than in 1921, and was
by far the greatest production on rec
ord. This production, says the United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
suited from an increase of about 80
per cent of the acreage seeded to bar
ley, coupled with a relatively high
average yield of more than % bushels
an acre.
In many parts of the United States
barley is becoming of more Importance
in the feeding of live stock. Exports of
barley from the United States to Eu-
rope were heavy last year, owing to
shortage of feed grains in Europe.
Indeed, the European situation has
had much to do with the increase in
barley production in the United States
in recent years. Large exports to
Europe in 1927 and 1928 maintained
a price in this country which was prob

have prevailed. In 1923, however,
the price of barley decreased appre-
Gladly under the weight of the largely
increased supply.
In the United States the acreage
and the production Of barley have in
creased steadily since 1866. Barley
acreage has been expanded steadily in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Wisconsin, and the irrigated western
areas. World production of barley
has been increasing since 1920
Usually rather definite relation ex-
lists between the total supply of corn
and barley in the United States and
the price of barley. In 1927, how
ever, this relationship was modified
by the influence Of shortage of feed
grains in Europe, with the result that
acreage in the United States was ex-
panded unduly.

Cleaning of Seed
Wheat Is Favored
Copper Dust Treatment Is
Quite Useful in Con-
troll of Smut.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.1
Cleaning of seed wheat for the re-
mOyal of weed seeds is generally rec
| 0gniZed and recommended as good
farming policy, and in recent years.
says the United States Department
of Agriculture, the desirability of the
copper carbonate dust treatment of
seed wheat for control of sinking
smut or bunt has also had general
acceptance. Early applications Of
the copper carbonate treatment were
largely in hand machines, but more
recently power busters have been per-
fected. Leafet 33-L, "The Combina-
ton Cleaning and Treating of Seed
Wheat" just published by the De
partment of Agriculture for free dis
tribution points out that the cleaning
and treating of seed wheat may we'll
be applied in single operation.
Useful Machines.
The authors point out that several
successful machines for either the
cleaning or treating operations are
on the market and that they may be
combined and mounted on trucks so
as to be easily moved from farm to
farm, or set up as stationary equip
ment. Also several makes of ma
chimes designed to combine cleaning
and treating in one operation are now
on the market. Last year an eastern
railroad mounted equipment in an old
baggage car to serve wheat growers
along its lines and to demonstrate
the value of the two treatments.
Mounted Machine.
The leaflet also contains a section
describing combined machine
mounted on a truck and driven by
small gasoline engine which was OPP
Grated as a community enterprise in
San Luis Obispo county, California,
last year. The county farm bureau
financed the equipment which in 1927
operated for nearly three months and
served 134 grain growers, handling
more than $4,000 bushels of seed
wheat. In 1923 more than 200 farm
ers were served and even more seed
grain was cleaned and treated This
outfit can handle grain at an aver
age rate of more than 80 bushels an
hour. The cost of the farmers is low.
1t averaged $1.94 ton in 1927. The
leaflet, which includes photographs

use, may be obtained free on appli-

Ocean Organisms Use
Light to Seek Food

When man understands the mech
anism whereby tiny organisms of the
sea are enabled to store up the suns
radiant energy, and release it as light
during the hours when sunlight is
not available and the growing process
is stopped, he will open new domains
to his control of nature, according
to DR.. Charles A. Kofoid of the zool-
ogy department of the University of
California. Many theories have been
advanced suggesting the need for this
illumination to lure other organisms
for food, as warning to enemies. as
mating signal, ETC. In Doctor Ko.
folds opinion the light, in the case
of dinoflagellata, is essential to life
for very peculiar reason. These or
ganisms must be continually active
otherwise they sink and cannot live
at the lower depths. Because of con-
tinuous activity they cannot store up
a sufficient reserve food supply dur
ing the day and must search for food
at night. For this purpose these or
ganisms, which lie on the border line
between plants and animals, turn on
their lights.

Hi THE JY
lDEIIURll
TEST DAIRY COWS
FOR PRODUCTION
Eliminates Improbable AMI
mails From Good Ones.

THE herd Improvement test ad.
vanees the breed in two ways" said
IL. w. Norton, speaking at Cornell
university. 1T gets rid of the low
producing, Improbable cows, and dis
covers those animals capable of hieb
production, the real seed stock of the
breed"
Mr.. Norton, who IS superintendent
OF advanced registry for the Holstein-
friesian association, says that the
herd improvement test meets the re.
Quirements of hundreds of breeders
who have not felt warranted in under.
taking advanced registry testing. Tn.
like the advanced registry test, in
which the individual COW is the unit.
this test includes the entire herd and
is designed to furnish the owner q
definite knowledge of the production
Of each individual member of the
herd. It began January l, 1923. and
for the first year 269 herds including
6,31S cows representing So states were
on test.
1.-THE improvement test will also
furnish valuable information regard
ing sires. Improvement of the breed
must be effected largely through the
sire; and since heavy production is
the chief consideration. it follows that
the selection of sires having ability to
transmit high production is a matter
Of the utmost Importance" said Mr..
Norton. In the past we have select
ed sires with long line of high-pro.
dueing dams, but this is not an abso-
lutte guarantee that the sire will
transmit heavy producing ability to
his daughters. The only real proof
that bull possesses this much de-
sired characteristic. is the fact that
his daughters are heavy producers.
Such bulls are commonly called prov
en- sires. To date, we have few of
them. Advanced registry testing, as
commonly practiced, does not prove
the sire, because only the best daugh-
tiers are tested.
Testing all the daughters of bull
is the real check of his ability to trans
init the factor for high production,
and this will be one of the outstand
ing features of the herd Improvement
test. Herds which continue with this
test year after year will show the in
fuence of the sire by comparison of
the productions of dams and daugh-
tiers. AS q result many valuable sires
will be saved for service, and not
slaughtered before their real worth is
discovered"
