Wyoming Releases
New Barley

HILAND, A NEW barley variety
with many advantages over Trebi
and Frontier, has just been released
by the agricultural experiment sta
ton of the University of Wyoming.
Hiland is a selection from cross
made in the experiment station
greenhouse by Dayton Klingman in
1912. In recent years r. P. Pfeifer,
assistant agronomist, has carried on
the breeding tests at Laramie and
at both dryland and irrigated expert
mental substation locations in Wyo-
ming.
"The agronomic characters of
yield, lodging resistance, semi
smooth awns, smut resistance, high
test weight, and clean threshability
mark Hiland as real improvement
in barley varieties for Wyoming pro-
duction," Pfeifer states.
Bulletin $50, "Hiland, Better
Barley" by R. P. Pfeifer, is available
through county agent offices or
through vocational agriculture de-
partments from the Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, Laramie, Wyo.

Poultry
Cages Not Practical
For Montana
By H. E. CUSHMAN

1 HAVE BEEN deluged with let
tiers within the last month asking my
opinion of laying cages. 1t seems the
best way to get my views before all
the poultrymen of the state in a
hurry, is to write something about
laying cages in Montana Farmer
Stockman.
For Southern states the practice
has proved very good, but for Mon
tana it just is not practical In the
first place it takes too much labor
and the overhead cost of building
house, which will work satisfac-
torily in this climate, is too great.
The house would require great deal
more light than an ordinary house.
Also it would have to be provided
with supplementary heat.
On top of all the greater cost, it
takes better poultryman to oper-
ate it. I remember visiting one of
our best poultrymen of the Pacific
coast who was housing about 1000
of his 10000 layers in cages. He
stated that it was no system for a
lazy man or a fool. The birds are
much more likely to have digestive
troubles when Gagged.
Mr.. Atkins watched his Gagged birds
like hawk. Any time a bird showed
symptoms of going off feed she was
Immediately pulled out of the cage
and placed in house with floor
birds. Of course if one is using cages
in lieu of trapnesting it is very &C
curate system. But trapping is not
for the ordinary pou1tryman. 1t is
the job of breeder. Some have said
that it would give them a good ides
which birds are culls. All can say
to that is that the poultryman hac
better get next to culling. Culling
is not a difficult art to learn. Anc
should you make a slip once in {
while the feed saved would about
balance the eggs sacrificed.
In summarizing, would say keer
the birds on the floor. The saving
in building, labor and health of the
birds will far offset keeping them il
laying cages. Even broiler producer:
are rapidly moving away from cage'
or batteries. All our big broilel
areas are now growing the birds OF
the floor.

Point-to-Point Progress
By Robert B. Phillips

Point-to-point racing should
take a big jump1going forward
approximately 20 years in one
stride-when the Blude Ridge
Hunt holds it's annual meeting
near Berryville, Va, Saturday,
March 13.
For several seasons the Blue
Ridge races have been splotched
with freakiSh mishaps.
This years streamlined pro-
gram should wipe out the past
and serve as an eye-opener for
other committees if present plans
are fulfilled.
Novelties in the actual race
program come under three head
ings. (a) There is an open race
where seasoned timber horses are
invited to compete, to give them
a chance for a tightener before
the regular hunt cup circuit
opens; (b) there is a novice"
race for horses which have never
won a jumping race of any kind,
intended to attract strictly anna
teur riders and true hunting
horses;s (c) owners and riders are
more or less put on their honor
to respect the purpose of the
races and to enter the proper
horses in the proper slots.
One-Year Gimmick Waived.
In recent years point-to-point
meets have tried to keep big
time steeplechaSe horses out of
hunter races by ruling that no
horse could enter within one
year after competing under reg
ular National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association rules. FIRE.
quently owners have merely laid
of a winning race horse for a
year because of an injury, then
brought him back as "a qualified
hunter" to beat the socks off
the true hunters.
Blue Ridge valves the NSHA
one-year gimmick. 1t provides
merely that in each hunter race
horses must have been regu-
larily and fairly hunted" and
riders must be acceptable to
the committee. Since there is
an open timber race for the big
apple jumpers and the steeple-
chase jocks, that leaves little ex-
cuse for an owner to slip pro-
fesSional competition into anna
teur events.
Determined to give the fox
hunting people a real day of it.
Blue Ridge also plans a morning
session where there will be a g.
mile hunter-pace race for quail
fed hunters and amateur riders.
The contestants will go off in
pairs over a tagged course. They
will pull up for two-minute
checks at two points along the
way. When they cross the fin
ish line. their individual and
pair times will be noted.
