Here is a fine fruit of dictatorship! Certainly it seems incredible that any government should tell it’s press precisely what it may or may not say and advo cate, or that an editor who disobeys such dictation can be sentenced to a life behind bars. Such things can only happen in nations where free dom of press, freedom of speech and constitutional lib erties have been abrogated by iron-heeled dictators more powerful than the ancient Tsars. Here in our country, freedom of press, speech and ac tion exists by virtue of the United States Constitution. A barley shortage similar to that which occurred in 1934 is in pros pect again this year, judging by the most recent federal reports on the prospective barley crop. Two years ago. following a similar middlewcs- tem drouth, there developed a con siderable demand for Oregon barley for malting purposes The three kinds of barley grown in this state most suitable for that purpose are Hannchen. Atlas and Wisconsin No. 38, says Dr D. D Hill, associate professor of farm crops at Oregon State college. Growers of those varieties who are planning to hold their barley for this possible outlet will probab ly make money by getting in touch with their county ngrnt as to best methods of threshin’, ind handling barley for malting purposes, says Dr. Hill.
