Turn To Barley
For Their Stock
Barley, often referred to as
“winter dorn” is becoming in
creasingly popular as a feed '
grain among North Carolina *
farmers, says E. C. Blair, exten- 1
sion agronomist of N. C. State 1
Collegfe.
This is especially true in areas
where it is desirable to substitute
soil-conserving for row crops and
where it is necessary at the same 1
time to maintain the supply of ]
feed grains. ;
The two bearded strains of
barley, Davidson and Randolph,
which were released to farmers on
a trial basis in 1938, have shown *
up exceptionally well. At the
Piedmont Branch Station near '
Statesville relatively high yields
have been secured.
During a nine-year test, these
two strains outyielded Tennessee
Winter, the standard bearded bar
ley in the region, which average
yields as follows: Tennessee Win
ter, 33.6 bushels to the acre;
Randolph, 38 bushels; and David
son, 40.6 bushels. This represents
a percentage increase for David
son of 20.8.
Blair said the first hooded
strains of barley were distribut
ed in the fall of last year. Hood
ed seeded 23, named Iredell, has
produced more grain than has
Tennessee No. 6 Hood in seven of j
the nine years it has been in|
nursery trials. On the basis of
- yields, Iredell has out-b

yielded Tennessee No. 6 33.4 bu
shels to 28.8. The new selection
will be used primarily as a for
age barley.
In addition to their yielding
ability, another reason for the
growing popularity of two of
these barleys is their resistance
to smut. Iredell and Davidson
have been found highly resistant
to brown loose smut collected
locally, as well as to several races
of black loose and covered smut.

RECORD
Corn projects conducted by
Marion County 4-H Cub boys will i
probably make record yields this
year, reports A. L. Eagles, assis
tant farm agent of the N. C. State
College Extension Service.

of the Durham Bulls will pay
their respects to the president of

stand boxes, will be open and it
be a case of “First come, first

President MacPhail is making
every effort to arrange his busy!
schedule to be here for the oc
casion and the chances are ex-j
cellent that the well-known Dodg
er will make the grade. He has
wanted to pay the city at least
one visit during the summer. Re
gardless of whether he can come,
local fans feel some reognition
shoud be extended him for plac
ing the Bulls here and this special,
night was born of that desire.!

est home stands of the season. )
