Show Crop Growing on Small Scale. A small holder in East'Lexham is making an interesting experiment in barley growing upon his land to test the possibility of raising corn on a small scale. In 1907 he sowed 78 specially spe-cially selected grains of barley, which yielded 400 ears. The resulting kernels ker-nels he sowed in 1908 and harvested in 14 weeks, with the result that he got a bushel of threshed barley, which he has sown this year, his object being be-ing to show what can be done in cereal ce-real cultivation from very small beginnings. be-ginnings.
