Some Valuable
Barley Facts
Barley hay fed with alfalfa
makes a balanced ration.
Barley is accused of caus
ing abortion in cows to which
it is fed, but this is a slander
on a splendid grain.
Those fine horsemen, the
Arabs, feed it to their horses
as a concentrate. It is rich in
carbohydrates but deficient in
protein.
Swine growers who have
tried it clai mthat it is the best
single grain feed for hogs in
a dry lot.
At both the Utah and Cal
ifornia experiment stations it
is fed with alfalfa hay to bal
ance the ration.
In Southern climates it is
sown in the fall and grows all
winter, making fine pasture.
Take the stock off it in time
and it will still make a good
crop of barley hay if cut when
in the milk.
It makes a fine variety for
hogging off if the beardless
varieties are sown—and it
comes earlier than almost any
other grain crop for this pur
pose.
Winter barley is a coming
grain. In Michigan, winter
varieties have been developed
which are hardy all over the
southern peninsula—but they
are bearded. Otherwise they
would be ideal for hogging off
in early summer.
These winter varieties yield
better than the spring varieties.
"Tilly Alcartra," the world's
recprd dairy cow, was fed
1,828 pounds of barley when
she was winning the champi
onship. She ate as much oats
as barley, 1,282 pounds of
bran, and 1,280 pounds of lin
seed meal.
The grand champion Paci
fic coast steer "Thickset Boy"
lived his first year on equal
parts of rolled oats and rolled
barley with a little bran. The
principal change after the first
year consisted in adding mol
asses. He weighed 825 pounds
as a calf, 1,400 as a yearling,
and 1,750 as a ow?-y ,T
and 1,750 as a two'year-old,
and dressed 71.8 per cent.
Tests made in feeding brood
sows with barley show that it
is increased in value ten per
cent by grinding and rolling.
We are gradually learning
that variety is very important
in feeding. While barley con
tains much the same feeding
elements as corn, it gives vari
ety, and may well be studied
as giving variety even by the
corn-belt farmer.
It carries a little more pro
tein than corn—12 per cent as
against 10 per cent and a lit

tle less of the carbohydrates—
68 per cent as against 70 per

Eradicating the
Wild Oat Pest
How to get rid of wild oats
is a question that is coming to
the North Dakota Experiment
Station in many letters. The
following suggestions are of
fered:
Take wild oats at their
weakest point, which is that
they can only grow from
seed. If they are not allowed
to go to seed that is the end of
them. Wild oats growing in
grain ripens before the grain
is cut, fall on the ground and
if not buried by plowing or
discing they will dig them
selves into the ground by
means of their twisted awns.
Grain growing does not hit
the week point of the wild oats
but rather gives them a boost.
Crops that are cut for hay
clean out the wild oats the
quickest and easiest, as they
are cut before the wild oats
ripen seed.
The cultivated crops such
as corn or potatoes are good
wild oats killers if they are
given clean cultivation. A lit
tle hand pulling will be re
quired to get those that the cul
tivator misses. Rye is a good
crop for cleaning out wild
oats. Wild oats if buried deep
enough will grow the next
year if plowed up. So even
if one side of the furrow slice
is cleaned the other side may
be full of wild oats seed.
There are two ways of
cleaning the other side:
1. Do not plow the land for
at least two years and three is
better and the wild oats will
have rotted.
2. If it has to be plowed,
then use one of the cleaning
methods given above.

Lodz leads

But this is Only One Sign of
Destitution Caused.—Bab
ies are Dying by Hundreds.
Lodz, Poland, Oct. 13.—
An increased number of beg
gars is a sight common to all
cities in territory occupied by
the military forces, but no
where in the other cities visit
ed by the Associated Press
correspondent who writes
this are there such numbers
nor do they display such per
tinacity as here. In Lodz they
follow the pedestrian for
square after square, hands
stretched out, whining con
stantly. They await one out
side the shops which he en
ters they follow one even in
to the shops and restaurants.
But One of the Signs.
This is but one of the signs
of the appalling destitution
which has already come upon
many of the inhabitants. Ac"
tual hunger is a daily guest
in thousands of homes in
other thousands it stands at
the door. If the coming win
ter sees the war going on,
there will be misery tnd want
indescribable. The city grants
weekly payments to the needy
but they are only a drop in
the bucket amounting to from
$1 to $1.50 a week for a fam
ily. Provisions are very dear,
and other necessaries of life
have increased greatly in cost.
To have a pair of shoes half
soled, for instance, costs $1.
50. It used to cost $1.25.
Babies Dying.
Rabbi Treistmann, chief
rabbi of the Lodz district, told
the Associated Press represen
tative that the destitution pre
vailing among the poorer peo
ple was. beginning to show par"
ticularly in the great increase
of the infant death rate. "The
babies are dying at a sad
rate." he said.
Here—and the same thing
is even more apparent in Piot
rokow—is to be observed one
of the saddest results of the
destitution due to war. This
is the great number of young
girls, some of them mere child
ren, who have had to choose
an evil way to keep from starv
ation.
Lodz is pre-eminently a
manufacturing city. The great
bulk of its inhabitants normal
ly work in factories, and these
are now closed. There are,
for one thing, no raw materi
als to work upon.
Shops Go to Wall
The closing of these factor
ies and the resultant unem
ployment of thousands natur
ally crippled the buying power
of these thousands, and count
less small shops went to the
wall. Many persons' turned
to peddling on the streets,
selling mainly cigarettes,
gars and matches. But this
month an order goes into ef
fect forbidding this free trade
in tobacco and placing the
business "en regie," that is,
under the exclusive control of
the government.

Wilson And
Semi-Americans
Would Ostracise Those Nat
uralized Citizens Who Are
Not Neutral.—Gives .Stir
ring .Address .at D. A. R.
Anniversary.
Washington, Oct. 13.—A
demand upon all Americans
on the pain of ostracism to be
more neutral in regard to the
European war—to take their
stand for America first, last
and all the time—was voiced
by President Wilson in a
speech at the celebration of
the 25 th anniversary of the
founding of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The
United States, the president
said, was not merely trying to
keep out of trouble, but was
trying to preserve the founda
tions upon which peace could
be rebuilt.
.. Peace and Humanity ...
"Peace can be rebuilt," he
added, "only upon the ancient
and accepted principles of in
ternational law only upon
those things which remind na
tions of their duty to each oth"
er and deeper than that of their
duty to mankind and human
ity. America has a great
cause which is not confined to
the American continent. It is
the cause of humanity itself."
Declaring his faith in the
loyalty, of the great body of
naturalized citizens of foreign
birth, the president said he be
lieved the impression was too
general that a very large num
ber of these citizens were
without a sufficient affection
for the American ideal
Sheep and Goats.
"But I am in a hurry to have
line-up," he explained, "and
et the men who are thinking
lirst of other countries stand
on one side and those who are
or America first, last and all
the time, stand on the other
side."
Every political action and
every social action in America
at this time, he said, should
lave for its object to challenge
the spirit of Americanism.
Give Them Cold Shoulder.
Referring to the methods to
3e employed in treating for
eign born Americans who still
leld the old ciountry over Am
erica, the president said:
"I would a great deal rath
er be obliged to draw pepper
up my nose than to observe
the hostile glances of my
neighbors. I would a great
deal rather be beaten than os
tracised I would a great deal
rather endure any sort of phys
ical hardship if I might have
the affection of my fellow
men. We contemplated disci
plining our fellow citizens by
having an opinion about
them. That is the sort of dis'
cipline we ought now to min
ister to everybody who is not
to the very core of his heart
an American. Just have an
opinion about him and let
him experience the atmos
pheric effects of that opinion."

MR. FARMER
Are you contemplating
having an auction sale?
If you are, it would pay you
to have your bills printed
here and an advertisement
run in the Chronicle. You
could reach more people,
especially more farmers,
than you would by adver
tising in the two other
papers in this city. When
you hold an auction sale
you would like to let the
farmers know about it. The
best way to do this is by
advertising in the Chronicle.
Bear this in mind when you
