  This 
  barley

  as 
  a 
  mutation 
  in 
  some 
  black 
  

   barley 
  from 
  Australia; 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  early

  very 
  resistant

  Curious

  its 
  absolutely 
  smooth 
  beards."

   "Mr. 
  Edelen 
  says 
  the 
  original 
  seed 
  of 
  these 
  peas 
  was 
  given 
  to 
  him 
  by 
  an 
  Italian. 
  He 
  

   claims 
  they 
  yielded 
  2,500 
  pounds 
  of 
  grain 
  per 
  acre 
  last 
  season, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  an 
  

   extremely 
  dry 
  season 
  this 
  year 
  he 
  is 
  counting 
  on 
  1,000 
  pounds 
  per 
  acre. 
  From 
  the 
  

   looks 
  of 
  his 
  field 
  I 
  should 
  judge 
  that 
  500 
  or 
  600 
  pounds 
  is 
  nearer 
  what 
  the 
  correct 
  yield 
  

   will 
  be. 
  Chick-peas 
  are 
  very 
  drought 
  resistant 
  and 
  hail 
  does 
  them 
  little 
  injury, 
  as 
  the 
  

   plant 
  itself 
  is 
  tough 
  and 
  fibrous.
