Spring Barley
Reports concerning Rpring bar-
ley may be of interest just at
this time as the crop may fit in
with Vour scheme of farming
and you may be able to visit
some of the men who are work-
inK with the crop. Henry Jones,
John Boatman and John Prich-
ard of Camargo and Billie Kim-
ble of Seiling: are working with
>winter barley, but as this article
is^-^tedto spring barley, do

Hill Frazee Webb says, I
have raised sprint? barley for
three years, the first year I put
out 10 acres the second 16 and
and the last 30 acres and intend
to plant again this year in spite
of the fact that I lost my crop
last year. (The late freeze killed

"I think the land that was pre
pared for wheat last fall is in
fine condition for barley this
aprin If we have any beating
rains the ground may need disk-
ing but it drilling is all ihal is
neccessary. I drill two bushel
per acre. The first of February.
But the later plantings have
out done some so I like a later
date. My yield has oeen about
30 bu. nel per acre, which beats
Oats and makes it a profitable
crop I do not beiieve it will ao
well on sandy land. Ic makes
fine teed when . oaked or crush-
ed".
The drouth that has extended
over a period of about four
months was broken last Monday
night with one of the finest
rains that we ever seen. It began
to rain about nine o'ejock and
rained all night and just a steady
► low rain. This will undoubtedly
bring the wheat out that was
suffering for want of moisture
and everything now points to
another good crop year. We hear
a good many of our farmers
planning to plant oats and the
ground will be in fine condition
to get ready for the same.
•
We see a good many of the
towns around us are planying a
day each week to work on the
roads. We should do that here as
the roads leading into town are
in bad condition and need the
work. This is another good argu-
ment for a good live Chamber
of Commerce and we still are
wondering when some of our
business men will begin to real-
ize the necessity of such an or-
ganization.
Will Black and wife left for
Tulsa last Sunday, where they
w '1 consult with specialists in
regard to Mrs. Black's health.
They disposed of their property
here and are not sure as to
where they will finally locate.

I have never appreciated the
crop until this year. I purchased

it and put on flesh faster than
they did on crushed ear corn.
For young pins it can't be beat

it as the grain ration for iny

In closing I will say that a
good yielding of spring barley
will be found among my grain
crops as it is reasonably sure ex-

To sum up the results of the
above reports it seems that
spring barley does not do well on
sandy lands, foul land, or thin
