Recent Birthday Festivities
Fail to Arouse Any Great
Public Sentiment
A GERMAN VIEW
"The real object of`tbese Doom'
celebrations, together with the care-
fully engineered echoes, is, of course,
to test once again the feelings of the

disappointing to the ex -Kaiser and his.
immediate' entourage.
"Apart from the closely edited me,

Hinilenbiirg, and the familiar patriotic
displays of the .'Steel Helmets' and
other war -veteran 'bodies; Germany's

A German Treatise
The week Of the ex -Kaiser's birth-
day_ Celebration saw the publication
of the English edition of The Hohen-
zollerne, by Herbert Eulenberg (Allen
& Unwin, 18s.)
"Herr Eulenberg tells us,” says the
Daily News, "that -,in his biographical
sketches of the leading members of
the Hohenzollern family one of his
-objects is to •strengthen German na-
tionalism orwpride of race, in which,
apparently, the Germans have often
been deficient. By this, however, he
means something very different from
pride in the Ilohenzollerns.
"He accuses many of the Hohenzol-
• lelns of caring more for their power
than lot the love of their people, and

There have been many scores of
articles and • leaders in favor of the
Channel. Tunnel during the last few
weeks, and the above facts and fig.
ures are significant.. The "News
Statesman" is, however, a ]teen critic,
and "we give some of ,the arguments
it uses. There has been so much
written and said 1n favor of the Chan-
nel' Tunnel that opinion in the other
direction is worthy of note. The
"New -Statesman" says:
"The project must be considered
purely on its merits as a means of
communication in tines of peace. The
tunnel would naturally be used both
fpr passenger traffic andfor goods
traffic.. As for passenger, the idea of
getting into a train at Victoria and
arriving at the Gare do Nord without
having had to move from one's seat
except to visit the dining cal' natur-
ally has its attractions, especially for
those who abhor being ever afloat on
the sea.
"But are such people very numer-
ous? Are they more numerous than
those who in normal weather condi-
tions find the brief and invigorating
sea passage the most pleasant part of
the journey? Perhaps they are; we
110 not know. -3ut of this we may be
certain, that a great many people who
are afraid of the sea' will be still
more afraid of the tunnel.

Barley Entitled
to BigKer Place
Experts" Point Out That Mar-
ket and Feed Value
Hither
Barley ;was andel' discussion at
practically ail the "fanners'• meetings
in Toronto this month, and particu-
larly so at those which had anything
to do about crops. There Is noo doubt
that the acreage of this grain will be
greatly increased this Year and, ac-
cording to John Buchanu, of the On-
tario Agricultural College, ,and T. G.
Raynor, of the Dominion Seed Branch,
to quote only two of a dozen who
might be quoted, there is every justi-
fication for the proposed expansion.
Statisties gathered by the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture indicate very.
clearly that barley outyields oats in
pounds of feed per acre in a normal
Year and that, generally apealting, its
market value is considerably higher.
Moreover, barley is a safer crop than
oats and has at least one more mar-
keting outlet. Notwithstandiu these
advantages, in the past for every
1,000 acres of cleared land in-Ontarl'o,
177.7 acres have been devoted to the
production 0f oats as against only 84-
acres to barley. And these figures
are secured from the same bulletin
which makes it clear that barley out -
yields oats and is worth on an aver-
age 34.50 per acre more. It Is prob-
ably on account of this somewhat
perplexing situation that the Ontario
Agricultural .College proposes to con-
duct an investigation of the reasons
underlying the prevailing popularity
of oats over barley as a farm' erop
in Ontario.
Getting down to the straight dollar
and cents advantages first, the offi-
cials mentioned above and the bulle-
tin quoted report a good market for
barley. It ca nbe sold for feed, seed
or malting purposes. As a feed it has
no rivals and few peers, and on this
account it commands a better price
than oats. Last year the demand for
seed barley of the right varieties
could not be filled and imports had
to be' made fron'i outside, This spring
will witness a similar condition with
seed barley in demand in every prov-
ince. Of course, barley for seed must
be pure, free from oats and .of some
six -rowed variety .uch ag C.A.C. 21.
Tho same requirements are essential
ifhe grain is to be sold for malting
t
purposes. The old mixture of a lot
of oats and an uncertain amount of
barley will not do for this purpose.
Straight barley of a six -rowed variety
like C.A.C. 21 is what is wanted, and
if this can be secured a premium
amounting to about 70 per bushel over
ordinary feed barley will be paid. At
the recent meeting of the Ontario
Seed Glowers' Association, Ontario
farmers were assured of a market for
malting barley amounting to about
2,500,000 bushels annually.
Experimentalists recommend barley
on account of its safety. It is one
of the surest cash crops that a farmer
can grow, they state, Professor W. J.
Squirrel, of he Ontario Agricultural
College, pointing out that in tests cov-
ering
onering many years barley can be sown
later in the spring than either oats or
wheat without any serious loss in
yield. In a late spring, therefore, one
may safely sow this vain after all
chance of success with others, save
buckwheat, would be lost. But that
is not all. Barley seems to fit into
the most precarious season, because
not only can one sow it late but one
reaps it earlier, earlier in fact than
any spring grain. This means it is a
safe crop to sow in a cold, late spring,
and also in a season when the fall
rains set in unusually early, as they
have a habit of doing in this prov-
ince. Thousands of acres of oats
were destroyed last year.. Had this
land been sown to barley there would
have been good returns. This crop 10
one of the best in which to start
clovers 'or alsike. Unlike oats and
wheat it does not stool out to the
same, extent and smother the seeding.
Judged from every, standpoint—
safety, ease of harvesting and mar-
keting— there seems very sound rea-
son fou• expanding the acreage of bar-
ley in Ontario.
