David Jacobson of Delhi placed

day. Second place went to c. A.
Marsh of Delhi; third to Emil An
derson, Sanborn; fourth to John
Hammerschmidt, Wabasso and
fifth to William Neihaus, Walnut
Grove.
Over 100 barley growers and
elevator men attended the meet
ing which was conducted by H. c.
Lau, chairman of the committee.
w. B. Combs of the United
States department of agriculture
reported on requirements for malt
ing barley. Test weight, he said,
is important but threshing too
close in order to get high test
weight may result in so many
skinned and broken bernels that
the cost is greater than the gain.
Too many thin kernels, he said
are not wanted. Using .076 inch
by rs inch screen in the tanning
mill will take these out. Scabby
barley is not suitable for mailing
Mr.. Combs said there is still
room at the top in the mailing
barley businesS-very few cars
coming to market in 1888 having
graded number one.
In his talk on fax growing, w
w. Brookins of University FARM
said that clean corn ground is the
best place for this crop. Reason
ably early seeding is recommend
ed. Two varieties recommended
are Red Wing and Bison. The
Red Wing is an early small seeded
fax that requires less seed pei
acre; Bison is a taller flax thar

is later maturing.
