Barley This Year
An associated Press dispatch from Berlin reports
that an editor of a well-known German newspaper has
been sentenced to life imprisonment for “high treason.’’
The dispatch added that no official explanation was
given as to just what he had done to merit such severe
punishment, but that members of the foreign press cor
ps remembered that a few months before he had divul
ged to them some of the orders given the German press
by the “minister of propaganda’’ and had been immed-
iatly arrested.
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

Hill, associate professor of farm
crops at Oregon State college.
Growers of those varieties who
are planning to hold their barley

methods of threshin’, ind handling

Dr. Hill. Where it 1.7 handled in
