Most Productive Va/rieties of Two^ow Barley. — The following varieties are among 

 the most productive: Hannchen (a Swedish selection of the famous Hanna barley). 

 Swan's Neck, Standwell, Clifford, Canadian Thorpe, Invincible and the different 

 strains of Chevalier. 



Earliest Varieties of Two-row Barley. — The earliest sorts among those thoroughly 

 tested at this farm are Hannchen, Beaver and Jarvis. 



Beardless and Hulless Two-row Barley. — The varieties of beardless and of hulless 

 two-row barley which have been tested at this farm have not, as a rule, shown sufficient 

 strength of straw to make them profitable sorts for farmers to cultivate. This past 

 season the variety known as Caucasian Hulless did very well, but the weather was 

 of unusual character and this barley has not yet been grown here long enough to 

 determine its strength and yield under average conditions. 



PEAS. 



The plots of peas were sown on May 14, the seed being used at the rate of two or 

 three bushels to the acre, according to the size of the pea. The soil was a rather 

 heavy loam.
