It nlso, although selling nt what seems very low prices now, Is ji In better demand and less of It Is hold In roserve, than any other grain oxcept rye, according to sta tistics on world supplies. The planting of barley nnd other food grain does riot offer such good prospects owing to tho largo stocks held over from last year's crop.

A perman ent rotation made up from this list which will provide soveral sources of Income from the salo of export able crops and livestock products (not from tlie saio oi nay nuu iun"i feeds) should be tho most profitable In 4he long run. Every argument Is In favor ot tho diversified typo of farming for an Irrigated section whore Ian I valus are high and overhead costs consid erable. Ily diversifying, the indi vidual Insures himself against the losses such as come from crop fail ure or lack of market when only one crop Is produced. From the standpoint of the general prospor Ity, diversified farming and farm livestock keeping brings about gen eral stability of business, Increases the population of country and city, and forms the foundation for In creased values all along tho line.
