Corn Root Worm Threat Hits 200 Million Bushels Loss
The National Crop Improvement Service warns corn root worm causes about 200,000,000 bushels of annual damage in the corn belt. To curb losses, rotate crops, avoid planting more than two corn crops in succession, and consider barley if worm damage was severe last year. Prepare land thoroughly and plant promptly this year.

Corn
Power Enough to Plow All Acres With Lacking Horses
A county appeal urges tractor owners to work long hours to plow remaining fields. Barley corn and potatoes are valued highly, and tractor owners are asked to offer services to farmers unable to prepare their own land due to shortage of power.
Barley vs Wheat Prices and 1916 Barley Prospects
Barley at 60c per bushel may compete with wheat at 1.00 as 1915 barley yielded 122.5 million. With prices ranging 1.50 to 2.20 per bushel the 1916 crop of 180 million could bring about 224 million. Yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are common and malting barley can command premium prices, making barley a profitable crop alongside superior malting varieties.
MONEY IN BARLEY
Those disappointed in spring wheat seed can profit by growing barley says the Wisconsin Experiment Station. R A Moore at the University headquarters arranges pedigreed barley seed by telegram in various quantities. Seed dealers are well supplied and farmers with poor land can still raise a lucrative barley crop. Barley should lead as a spring wheat alternative where wheat is grown and may suit areas farther south where other crops fail.
