Saturday, August 5, 1911.] THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN Barley improved by this method last year produced seventy-five bushels to the acre, as against fifty-eight for common barley, and it grew on stems two to three inches higher than the common barley planted under similar conditions.

Profes- sor Ganmmitz looks for even better re- sults with these, as considerable has been done by procreating, producing from different species, technically known as " ; HEAVY YIELD OF GRAIN FROM BEET LAND. Twenty-two bags of barley to the acre is the yield that has been produced from ISO acres of beet land of the Sacramento Valley Irrigation Company's, near Ham- ilton City. Mr. H. L. West, the Glenn rancher who has had the ISO acres leas- ed and the barley threshed, is authority as to the figures. The grain is of super- ior quality, far ahead of the average. He also had threshed 162 bags of wheat from six and three-fourths acreB of land on the Van Sickle ranch. This shows an exceptional heavy yield, especially when taking into con- sideration that this land received but .42 of an inch rainfall from the time the seed was sown. The amount of bags to the acre is not to be given in figures but it is easy to prophesy what an immense yield this and adjacent land would put forth with exuberant rainfall or when the irrigation project is successfully carried out and installed through these fertile regions of the Sacramento Valley; also with ample care and precaution taken as to enriching and retaining the fertility of the soil, season by season, will surely bring forth an exuperant record of the past millennium. o You cannot afford to breed good cows to a scrub bull. Heifer calves of good breeding will determine your future suc- cess in the dairy business. If you have more good heifers than you need
