ONE VARIETY OF BARLEY Varieties Badly Mixed Make a De crease in Profits. (National Crop ImprovomMt Sorvheo.] The fact that a Mlaaesota count) took prizes on both two and six rowel barley at the National Corn Bxposi tlon at Dallas, Texas, speaks well foi the quality of barley grown la that county, but is only indicative of the mixed condition of this grain that 1* deplorable from a market standpoint How can the farmers of this or other county expect to get the highest market price for their grain when several types will doubtless be mixed before shipping This is particularly true of barley where the highest prices are paid for malting barley and which must be of one type and very uniform. The sooner whole communities awake to the value of growing only one variety of each type of grain, the better off will each individual farmer be. For the barley growing counties of the middle west and northwest, Minnesota 105 and Pedigreed Oderbrucker have generally given best satisfaction. • With the opening oi the Panama canal barley growing in California will receive a great stimulus. It has been found that Calif onia can grow excellent barley of any desired type Unless the Inland states standardize their barley shortly and establish their market they are apt to find-a strong competitor in California.

COMMUNITY CORN GROWING

CARLETON R. NALL, Office of Cereal Investigations, U.JB. - Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. r [National Crop Improvement Service.] Corn Is open pollinated, and as enormous quantities are produced in areas having'fairly strong wind velocities there is opportunity for widespread mixing of varieties. This is augmented by the height of the plant and the elevation of the tassel above the silk, which afford greater opportunity for wind action. Through zenia, the effects of the crossing of varieties of different color, as white, yellow, red, blue and speckled, become apparent the same season in which the cressing occurs. da the market, corn is graded on color as well as quality, so that for this reason alone every effort should be made to prevent the crossing of varieties of different color. Community co-operation may well be directed toward the prevention of such cross-pollination or of any mixing at all, since the crossing of varieties of the same color is'undesir able because affecting uniformity in height, maturity and other characters. Owing to the readiness with which the pollen is carried by the wind there Is danger of mixing not only In adjacent fields on the same farm, but on adjacent Anns as well. The ready solution Is to restrict by agreement the varieties grown in the community. This restriction will also help the sale of pure varieties at the elevators. Mixing different colors In the bln or car lowers the grade and price. Professor Tass of lowa, recommends the building of communal seed corn houses to meet the need for prompt and proper curing and safe storage from frost, moisture and, vermin. He estimates that for about IMO a house can be constructed sufficient for 300 to 400 bushels of ears. This Is estimated at twice the quantity actually needed by fifteen to twenty farmers, to whom the average initial cost would be only twenty or twenty-five dollars apiece. The upkeep, of course, would be only a slight annual expense.

Abraham Lincoln said as long ago as 1859: “Unquestionably it will take more labor to produce fifty bushels of wheat from vo acre than it will to produce ten bushels from the same acre; but will it take more labor to produce fifty bushels from one acre than from .five? Unquestionably thorough cultivation will require more labor to the acre, but will it require ■tore to the bushels"

Warren Simpson of Northfield, Minnesota, who won first prise la the central district of that state in the acre yield contest conducted by tho Agricultural Extension Division of tho University ot Minnesota, is a crippled boy. Owing to Ms infirmities he was compelled to crawl on his hands and knees between the rows or corn to cultivate It. His aero yielded 103.8 bushels Hold measnse and 77.59 bushels dry. Such pluck is admired everywhere and we are glad to commeag it. '' “Tao many farmers are In the habit of thinking of their own time andot that of their teams as having no money value. The troth is that money invested in farms and their equipment returns a very small dividend under avenge management. The fanner must make his own time and the’ labor of his teams a very large source of income, otherwise ho will flail Into tho class of dissatisfied farmers.”—H. P. Miller, Agent, Pentago County, Ohio.

HOME GROWN SEEDS

In many ‘ states where the Agronomy Department of the Agricultural College is actively in touch with the seed growers of the state, lists have been prepared of good quality seeds for sale. Apply first to your agricultural college for recommend- < ed seeds. We advise farmers to obtain ! home grown seeds so far as pos- . sible. We will do our best to put you in touch with seed supply, ; but do not guarantee quality.: We are getting new lists daily. : —CROP IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE, Chicago, room L. Board of Trade.

A GOOD HOOSIER STUNT

What Every Farm Bureau Ought to Maintain for “Intra” and “Inter” County Service, (National Crop Improvement Service.] At the last meeting of the directors of the Better Farming Association, of Parke county, Ind., it was decided that a Farmers’ Exchange should be established and maintained by the association for the purpose of making a "clearing house” for the things the farmers may have to sell or exchange. There are countless times that the farmer may want to dispose of a few bushels of seed corn or a machine or a few pigs and there are many farmers who would like to know where they might find those very things. It was therefore decided that all members of the association could report anything that they want to sell or exchange to Mr. Reed's office and ft would be recorded and anyone wanting such material as has been listed will be given the address of party having same. We will'keep a Labor Bureau so that .anyone desiring to work on the farm can be brought into communication with Thaw who want to employ labor. This exchange will be maintained by the Better Farming Association for Its members and no fee will be charged them for its services. The Labor Bureau will be free to everybody. Send in a list and description of what you wish to dispose of and it will be recorded and posted. Very truly yours, H. J. Reed, Co. Agricultural Agt. Approved: G. I. Christie, State Leader.

The Indiana law relating to county agricultural agents provides for the appointment of thirty men a year for three years and by the end of tha* time the 90 counties will be provided Lr. This movement Is very popular in Indiana and If the plan is worked out on the community basis we are convinced It will prove to be the greatest forward step for agriculture in recent yean.

Seed Corn Scarce.

Seed corn will bo scarce and high the coming spring In central Ohio. Retarding droughts ot last summer followed by freezing weather before the corn had fully matured, has left the general run of It unfit for planting. Prices now are fifty cents higher per bushel than at this time last year . Seed companies report an unusually large volume of early inquiries. The interest in proper seed corn has been greatly Increased by the cornboy movement. which Is being fostered with greater activity each year by the state government.— Grain Iselers’ Journal.

For Oat Smut

Spread seed on a clean floor. Sprinkle until moist with a solution of one pint of solution of formaldehyde to 45 gallons of water. About one gallon of solution will be required for one bushel of seed. Shovele the seed over and over to moisten every grain. Shovel into a pile and cover with treated sacks. Allow to stand over night. Dry sufficiently to run through a drill. Put only In treated sacks. Treat sacks by soaking two hours in the solution. The seed will swell and allowance should be made tot this when sowing. The reason why the world’s greatest future grain market is located at Chicago Is because there are 400,009,--000 bushels of wheat, corn, oats, barley, etc., received and shipped annually by the members of the Chicago Beard of Trade.

Neglected Neighborhoods.

You can find in almost any town a “neglected neighborhood.” The easiest thing to do with such f neighborhood is to keep on neglecting IL It is so easy for us to study these topics as if they wore about other places and people than ourselves and our homes. Is there a neglected corner In your town, or In your county! If there is what are you going to do about it? Not "What have you been doing about it?” as “What ought you to do about ItY’ but "What are you going to do aobut itT” If you can’t get the committees interested, do something yourself. Do not be afraid. The thing is te get started. You see, as soon ss you hava started some thing, the neighborhood is no longer neglected. And then it wfi* be an easier matter to get someone to come In and heip.-ChristlM Herald.
