Barley Is Superior for Fattening Farm Stock ' Barley is unsurpassed as a nurse crop for clovers and alfalfa; it Is a better i feed than oats for fattening hogs. ' sheep and cattle; and since it is one . I of the best substitutes for cotn, its , early maturing quality will make this , grain doubly valuable in a short-corn summer. The early maturing quality of bar--1 ley gives it a distinct advantage over | ■ oats. This is especially true during the I t present corn shortage. The grain can be threshed about the same time as | I wheat, eliminating two threshings and , making available a midsummer grain feed. , Barley Is decidedly superior to late 1 oats as a nurse crop for clovers and 1 alfalfa because it shades the ground less, and, by Its early maturity, leaves more moisture In the ground for the young clover. Chiefly because of Its lower per- ! rentage of hulls, barley Is a bettor feed thnn oats for fattening hogs. ■ sheep and cattle. Barley contains more . carbohydrates than either wheat or oats, has less fat, and contains only one-third as much crude fiber as oats. Most Effective Method for Treating Potatoes The most effective method of treating potatoes for scab is to dip the potatoes in a solution of corrosive sub--1 limate, prepared by dissolving 4 ’ ounces of corrosive sublimate In several quarts of hot water in a 50-gal-lon barrel and adding enough cold water to make 30 gallons. Place the potatoes in this solution and allow to stand for one hour. Potatoes may remain in the sack when being dipped, hut it is better to place them in loose or in a crate that does not absorb the solution. After every six bushels about one-quarter ounce of corrosive sublimate should be added to the solu- ■ tion to preserve its strength. Potatoes should be clean and all rotten or dauj1 aged potatoes removed before dipping, only earthenware or wooden contain- - ers should be used for the solution as i 't corrodes metals. Utilizing Wheat Straw Wheat straw can be used as feed, t bedding, and as a fertilizing material for the soil. It will be of greatest value when used as feed and bedding and returned to the soil as manure Fresh straw may he used as a fertil izer when It can be plowed under or worked Into the soil in small amounts. 1 It should be used sparingly as a top dressing on growing wheat except on areas that are inclined to blow. . ; o t Greensburg. —L.
