FARM DOINGS
IN THE VALLEY
By Lew E. Hanks
CONSERVATION NOTES
Your correspondent made a
tour this week of the forage and
cereal adaptation plots set up
around Palmer. He accompanied
Harlow Hodson, Dr. S. C. Litzen
berger and Parker Lester on this
trip.
On the forage plots on old crop
land at the Virgil Eckert and Irv
ing Newville farms, smooth brome
grass, creeping red fescue and
Russian wild rye all looked good.
Kentucky blue grass, timothy and
Reed’s canary grass were showing
up best on the plot on newly
cleared ground at John Nash’s
place on Lazy Mountain.
Of the cereal varieties observed,
Ollie barley was outstanding in
its early heading. It was well
ahead of all other varieties, as
well as the wheat and oat plots.
Dr. Litzenberger has all known
varieties of barley growing at the
station. These number into the
thousands and Ollie looks like
tops out there, too. This complete
international collection of bar
leys has been grown only seven
or eight times in the past. It is
really something to see on your
visits to the Experiment Station.
Incidentally, Mr. Hodson is back
in the groove at the Station and
also pretty proud of the way that
new Buick performs.
