The ease with which barley may be substituted directly for wheat in human food and its usefulness to replace wheat milling by-products as feed in the production of the milk supply render its abundant production important.

Rice at present prices provides more food for the money than most of the other cereals.

The duty of the individual farmer, at this time, is to increase his production, particularly of food crops.
