llarle) For Money Crop.
Our farm agents and agrlcultui.tl
papers have been talking barley to
his for years and the past year or bo
some of us in this section began to
taKe notice. This year quito aover-
al f.inneru aro raising small patches
of It for their hogs and one man
we are reliably informed Uirushod
nut 800 bushels from somo 4G acres
and Immediately sold It In Durant at
one-dollar per busholl. Kvory In
stance that has come to our at-
tention this year in southeastern
Oklahoma Is that the barley has
threshed out as much or moro than
our best oats and bis brought flvo
times as much. Oarley is easily
planted withstands more moisture
and. drough and peats than lots of
other things and brings more money.
Our soil and climate soema admira-
bly suited to it and there Is a good
market for all that Is likely to he
grown.
More Jure-Hml Horh
II. S Moore of Illue Is going into
the pure-bred hog business To start
with ho has bought a hunch of I)u-rnc-Jersey
hogs and has plannod to

How ;hn Moot! lfelH-tl A Dairy
A good dairy bull purchased by
a Montana ronnty farm bureau mem.
'her cost floij js a ralf; it was put
at the head of a hcaid of 10 cows
the average annual production of
which was 4 son pounds of milk and
200 pounds of huttet fat. The
daughters of the bull have now re-
placed the old cows in the herd and
exceed the production of their dams
by an nverage of 102 pounds of but-
ter fat and 1.S2S pounds of milk per
year. This Improvement nets $300
profit carh )ear without taking Into
account the difference In value of the
calves A row should "catry on" for
at least six years which would mean
1800 additional profit from the 10
cows becvuse or tne jimi invested
In the bull calf. "It was a bully
good Investment" says this farmer.
Ijiirgc Onions Shown Here
(3. W. Hitchcock who lives on tho
Olaybonrno Jnmei place four miles
northwest of Durant was In Satur-
day with three yellow onions that
tipped the scales at precisely three
pounds They were ntnong the larg-
est over seen here Mr. Hitchcock
says ho has one and one-halt acres
of them and is expecting to make a
large yield. Tho onions were as yet
unmatured and when fully should
weigh much more than that.
Short Crop: Hotter Prices
The steady advanco which has
been noted In the cotton market dur-
ing tho past ten days has been large-
ly duo to a decided change In senti-
ment which occurred when the Gov-
ernment recently Issued a crop re-
port which estimated the average
planted In cotton ths year to he 26-
510.000 acres This acreage estimate
In conjunction with the June condi-
tion report of 69.2 pr cent would
Indicate an approximate yield of
ir2B pounds of lint cotton to tho
ncre which would amount to n total
crop of 84"??. 000 hales.
Advices have also been received
which stated that there Is also a sub-
stantial reduction In the cotton
acrenge planted In India. Egypt and
nri7ll and that tho crops of those
countries will he matetlally smaller
than last year. Spring and Co.
