Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop.

In the southern half of the country perhaps no crop has larger possibilities for quick increase of production of food for both men and animals than the sweet potato.

Buckwheat may be planted later than any similar crop, and often does well on old meadows or waste land that can be broken after the more exacting crops are planted.

The usefulness of cow-peas and soy-beans as human food has been recognized only recently in this country.
