Keep Of The Grass
Warming To Children

1t is reported that children and
dogs have been getting on the
city park spots. The city has put
a lot of work on these parks and
they are a fine example of the
value of irrigation. But in order
that they may continue to- delight
he eyes of the %passersby, Mayor
%Swedberg requests that children
do not play on them, especially
just after the grass has been wa
tered. Trampling on the ground
when it is wet causes depressions
and uneveness and mars the ap-
pearance of the park.

WHEAT.
SUBSTITUTE

Because of low wheat prices.
Prince Georges county farmers
are being forced to substitute bar
ley for wheat crops, according to
w. B. Posey, county agent.
Barley, Mr.. POsey explained, Is
more practical as . crop under
existing conditions, because 1t
makes q better balanced diet for
live stock, and its straw is better
than wheat for bedding pur-
poses.
Because of smut and fungus
diseases, Mr.. Posey declared. only
certified barley seeds should be
used in planting. He recon-
mended the Tennessee variety Of
barley as the most productive in
this section.
The barley planting season. he
declared, opens around October
/, about two weeks before the
wheat crop should be planted.
The average yield Of barley in
Southern Maryland, he said,
amounted to approximately so
bushels per acre.

Of marking the ballots.
Mr.. Fellows said that the bal
lots that the voters of Arlington
