animals. They say that pets can anticipate their owners leaving for trips or returning home. These animals somehow know when they are going to be fed or taken for a walk. Does this mean anything or is it just a coincidence? Maybe it has nothing to do with psychic powers, maybe pets just understand enought language to get the message? Surprisingly, little research has been done on these phenomena. However, naturalists have carried out some experiments to investigate such behaviour. The evidence suggests that pets seem to react to their owners' thoughts and intentions but the mechanism of such communication remains unknown. Another thing scientists are unable to explain is animals' sense of direction. How can pigeons find their way back home over hundreds of miles in unfamiliar places? The research into animal navigation has not helped to solve this mystery. In some experiments pigeons were taken away from home in closed vans to check whether they could remember their way. They were still able to find their way home easily. They could navigate on cloudy days and even at night which means they don't use the sun. And they couldn't smell their home because they were miles away from it. It's quit remarkable to think that many animals escaped the great Asian tsunami in 2004. Elephants in Sri Lanka moved to high ground before the giant waves struck. Some dog owners were surprised by the fact that their pets refused to go to the beach for a walk on the day of the tsunami. Some local tribes on the islands were warned by the behaviour of the animals and moved away from the coast before the disaster. But how did the animals know? They also seem to know about other disasters. Domestic animals often behave in an anxious or unusual way several hours before earthquakes strike. Similar behaviour occurs before avalanches or even explosions. The ability of animals to anticipate disasters could be of great help to people. In China, for example, the authorities encourage people to report unusual animals' behaviour and it has enabled cities to be evacuated before earthquakes, saving lots of lives. Do we have any unexplained powers? Have you ever felt like someone was staring at you while you had your back turned to them? Have you ever felt like you knew what someone was going to say before they said it or even that you were familiar with a place that ypu knew you had never been to before? These may all be indications of the powers which we might have lost just because we no longer need them: telephones and television have replaced the feelings, maps and global positioning systems have replaced the sense of direction. But still we have much to learn from animals about their nature, and about our own.

or cereals and constitute important grain crops exceeded only by
wheat, rye and corn in acreage and value. What the origin of
common oats is remains in doubt but its cultivation is not so old as
wheat.
The species of oats, which include all the cultivated varieties,
appears to have arisen in the eastern temperate zone of Europe or
western Asia. As for barley, it has been known for thousands of
years and must have been cultivated before any recorded history. In
the barley ear spikelets resemble those of wheat while the spikelets
of oats differ in that they have stalks forming a panicle usually 9 to
12 inches long. there exist many different kinds of oats and barley
and as with the other small grains, there are many differences as to
characteristics between varieties raised.
Both oats and barley are most commonly seeded in the spring and
grown as annuals; yet each has varieties that are winter annuals to
be sown in the fall. No winter-oat varieties have been developed
thus far are sufficiently hardy for dependable production where
winters are severe. They are not grown as far north nor at such
elevations as barley, the hardiest winter barleys resisting winter
killing better than any of the present varieties of winter oats. Of the
spring sown oats some are very early. These are favored by the
warm climate of the south, for they complete the growth before the
hottest, driest part of the season.
Both oats and barley are grown by essentially identical seeding,
cultural, and harvest methods. They fit conveniently into same sort
of crop rotations, have about the same effect on the land on the
succeeding crops, and have approximately the same seasonal labor
requirements.
